AJF Commercial Business Sales are delighted to welcome to the market this outstanding opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented boutique Pilates and wellness studio with an integrated health café, occupying a prominent trading position in the highly desirable town of Whitefield, Greater Manchester.

Over recent years our client has successfully created a modern lifestyle destination where fitness, wellbeing, nutrition and community come together under one stylish roof.

The business enjoys an excellent reputation throughout Whitefield and the surrounding areas, attracting members from Bury, Prestwich, Radcliffe, Manchester City Centre, Salford and beyond.

Businesses of this calibre rarely become available on the open market. Combining multiple income streams, a loyal membership base, beautifully fitted premises and a recognisable local brand, this represents a genuine turnkey opportunity for an owner looking to continue the business’s impressive success whilst benefiting from significant future growth potential.

Location:

The business occupies an excellent trading position within Whitefield, one of Greater Manchester’s most sought-after suburban locations.

Whitefield has undergone significant regeneration over recent years and has become one of the region’s most desirable places to live, attracting young professionals, families and health-conscious residents seeking a vibrant yet welcoming community.

The area is renowned for its thriving independent business scene, quality cafés, restaurants, bars and specialist retailers, creating a strong local economy and excellent year-round footfall.

Whitefield’s affluent demographic makes it an ideal location for a premium wellness business, with a customer base that actively invests in health, fitness and lifestyle services.

Excellent transport links further enhance the business’s appeal. Whitefield benefits from its own Metrolink station providing direct access into Manchester City Centre, whilst the nearby M60 motorway places the business within easy reach of Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Salford, Trafford and the wider Greater Manchester area.

The location continues to attract new residential developments, ensuring an increasing customer base for years to come.

Business:

Since opening, the business has established itself as one of the area’s leading boutique Pilates studios by offering a complete wellness experience rather than simply exercise classes. Every aspect of the business has been carefully designed to create a welcoming, relaxing and professional environment where members can train, recover, socialise and enjoy quality refreshments before or after classes.

The current owners have invested heavily in creating a stylish, contemporary interior finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout. The overall presentation is outstanding and allows a new owner to continue trading immediately without requiring any significant capital expenditure.

The business has proudly partnered with several recognised organisations and brands, including Media City, Nell’s Pizza and Sun-Kissed, helping to further strengthen its reputation throughout Greater Manchester whilst continually introducing the business to new audiences.

Pilates & Fitness Offering:

The business offers an impressive variety of classes designed to appeal to clients of all ages and abilities.

The fully equipped Reformer Pilates studio is fitted with eleven reformer beds and hosts small, instructor-led classes, allowing members to benefit from personalised coaching in a welcoming environment. Sessions focus on strength, flexibility, posture, mobility, rehabilitation and athletic performance, attracting both beginners and experienced clients alike

Alongside the reformer studio is a dedicated heated studio delivering an extensive timetable of Hot Mat Pilates sessions. The heated environment provides an additional premium offering that distinguishes the business from many competitors and has become increasingly popular amongst members looking for more intensive workouts, stretching, sculpting and recovery sessions.

A separate Mat Pilates studio further enhances the timetable, providing classes ranging from beginner and intermediate Pilates through to mobility, strength, core conditioning and community-based sessions.

Together, these studios provide excellent flexibility and allow multiple classes to operate throughout the day, maximising the earning potential of the premises.

Health Café & Coffee Bar:

One of the business’s standout features is its beautifully presented in-house health café, creating an additional revenue stream whilst complementing the overall customer experience.

Members and visiting customers can enjoy speciality coffees, premium matcha, smoothies, protein shakes, acai bowls and a variety of healthy snacks in a relaxed environment. The café encourages members to remain on site after classes, helping to build the strong community atmosphere for which the business has become known.

The café is fitted with a quality bean-to-cup coffee machine, bean grinder, commercial sink, EPOS till system, card payment facilities and ample storage. A serving hatch also provides the opportunity to serve passing trade directly onto the pavement outside, presenting additional opportunities to grow café sales independently of the fitness operation.

Current customer seating comfortably accommodates approximately twelve covers, although there is scope to increase this to around twenty-four covers should a purchaser wish to expand the café side of the business.

The business benefits from an attractive recurring income model generated through monthly memberships, providing reliable and predictable cash flow.

Additional income is generated through introductory offers, class packages, pay-as-you-go bookings, private tuition, corporate wellness programmes and specialist events.

The diversity of revenue streams provides excellent resilience and offers numerous opportunities for future expansion.

Further income is generated through café sales, branded merchandise, gift vouchers, outdoor Pilates events, wellness collaborations and community fitness programmes.

The business has also collaborated with several recognised brands and organisations throughout Manchester like Media City, Nell’s Pizza and Sun-Kissed, significantly strengthening its reputation whilst introducing the studio to new audiences and continually generating fresh membership enquiries.
