KARVE Franchise · Italy
Pilates Franchise Opportunity in Milan
Milan is on KARVE’s list of open territories — one exclusive partner will bring Transformer Pilates™, the in-club Functional Café and the full KARVE system to Italy’s design capital. This page covers the Milan opportunity; the complete model lives on the main franchise page.
Why Milan suits KARVE
Milan is Italy’s wellness and design economy in one city — Pilates itself has deep roots in Italian training culture, and the city’s premium fitness spend concentrates around Brera, Porta Nuova, CityLife and the Quadrilatero. KARVE’s design-led clubs and café concept are built for exactly this audience: a brand where the studio, the machine and the space are part of the product.
The Milan territory
One exclusive partner holds the market, protected. The Milan franchisee opens with the full system: onboarding led by KARVE’s managing director, instructor training and certification in the Transformer method, KARVE-supplied machines, the architectural design system, and launch marketing run by TONE, KARVE’s in-house agency.
What every KARVE franchise includes
- Exclusive, protected territory — one partner per market
- Transformer Pilates™ — the proprietary method, taught nowhere else
- KARVE-supplied Transformer machines and the architectural design system
- Onboarding led by KARVE’s managing director + instructor certification
- Launch and ongoing marketing from TONE, KARVE’s in-house agency
- The Functional Café — a second revenue line inside the club
A minimum of £500,000 in liquid capital is required to be considered. The full model, process and timelines are on the main franchise page.
