inLIFE Wellness is a boutique wellness and fitness franchise focused on Reformer Pilates and low-impact group exercise. The brand delivers inclusive workouts designed to improve strength, mobility, flexibility, and overall wellbeing.
Its studio model appeals to a broad demographic seeking sustainable fitness rather than high-intensity training. Classes are structured to support beginners and experienced members alike.
inLIFE Wellness was founded in 2018 in Australia by fitness industry veteran Scott Capelin. The concept was created to blend Pilates-based movement with functional training, Barre, strength, and stretch formats.
The brand emphasizes positive movement, community connection, and long-term health. This philosophy differentiates it from traditional gym and high-intensity fitness franchises.
The company is headquartered in Menai, New South Wales, Australia. inLIFE Wellness later expanded internationally, including entry into the United States. The franchise system was developed to allow owner-operators to run community-driven studios with structured training, operational support, and scalable systems.

inLIFE Wellness offers a multi-part training program to prepare franchisees and their teams to operate in line with brand standards and expectations:
Initial Training Program: The Operating Principal, owners, and key personnel (including designated managers) are required to complete a blended training program combining online and in-person sessions. In-person training typically lasts 1–2 days and must be completed at least four weeks before the business opens. There is no fee for up to six attendees, though the franchisee is responsible for all travel, lodging, and related costs.
Training Curriculum: Topics covered during training include marketing, sales, customer service, class delivery, schedule analysis, CRM usage, financial analysis, and studio setup. Trainers include experienced professionals like Scott Capelin, who has instructed over 9,000 classes and owned multiple studios.
Replacement Training: If a new Operating Principal or key personnel is hired, they must complete the initial training within 15 days. With permission, existing trained individuals may conduct this training, but the franchisor may require direct training if deemed necessary.
Territory Protection
inLIFE Wellness does not grant exclusive territory rights to its franchisees. While the franchisee is granted the right to operate at a specific location within a defined territory, the franchisor retains the ability to compete through other franchisees, company-owned units, or different distribution channels.
However, the franchisor agrees not to open another traditional franchise or company-owned unit using the inLIFE Wellness name within that specified territory. The size and boundaries of the territory are negotiated prior to signing the franchise agreement and are detailed in that document.
Although the protection against same-brand units is provided within the defined area, franchisees may still face indirect competition from alternative formats or brands owned by the franchisor. This setup provides limited protection and emphasizes the importance of operational excellence over territorial exclusivity.
