Australian reformer franchise, Studio Pilates International, is launching a competitive concept – The Pilates Games – across its 130+ global studios.

Testing endurance, precision and control, the competition will be built around a 100-minute scored workout. Participants will move through a sequence of exercises and earn points based on technique and execution rather than speed or intensity. Exercises are scored on a six-point scale, with higher spring resistance earning more points. 

The experience is closely tied to the brand's Amplify 6 Week Challenge, which serves as a Training ground for participants, offering a structured pathway to build strength, track progress and prepare for the Event.  

Jade Winter, CEO and co-founder of Studio Pilates International and a former Olympic athlete, says this gives Pilates a new dimension and reflects a broader shift across boutique Fitness toward performance-driven offerings, where clients are increasingly focused on measuring progress.

"We've taken everything People love about Pilates and introduced a way to measure it – not just how long you can last, but how well you can maintain precision and control under pressure," he says.

The inaugural Pilates Games will take place across in late June and additional iterations are expected as the concept evolves.
