RE:::: Best Recommended Option for TruFusion SA

Based on brand strength + full gym access + multi-modality value:

Unlimited Reformer Add-On

$49–$59/month add-on for existing members—- This could be the fist 100 members and or first 6 months/year ect
(or $20/class equivalent in packs)

→ This undercuts the market heavily
→ Doesn't cannibalize your general membership
→ Fits your 12-bed studio and 2.5×/week average usage
→ Gives you the strongest story against Club Studio, COREFIT & Pilates Platinum

$19.99 per class equivalent
(Ex: 8x/mo for $159, or 4x/mo for $79)

→ This puts you just below the market median
→ Creates a strong “value” perception
→ Still protects your margins

If you want premium positioning:

$22.99–$24.99 per class equivalent
(Ex: 8x/mo for $185–$199)

→ This aligns with known boutique pricing
→ Still below many drop-ins ($28–$39)
→ Matches COREFIT & Pilates Platinum mid-tier

IM=X® Pilates and Fitness+2Facebook+2

8. Club Pilates (multiple SA locations: Stevens Ranch, Quarry, etc.)

Type: National reformer chain – multiple neighborhoods.

Example: Stevens Ranch location page lists address/schedule but no public pricing. Club Pilates

For San Antonio specifically:

  • They advertise a free intro class

  • Actual membership tiers (4x, 8x, unlimited) are behind “call/app” wall

So for Club Pilates SA, you can say:

“Pricing not published online; typical model is 4, 8, and unlimited class memberships with per-class drop-in, but exact numbers must be confirmed per location.”

9. Studio 1604 – Pilates in Stone Oak

Type: Pilates studio (reformer appears in class imagery & description).

Their class description page details beginner/intermediate Pilates, including reformer imagery, but does not show explicit pricing for reformer on that page. JOIN NOW
Likely: pricing is via direct inquiry or scheduling system only.

10. inBalance Studios (multiple SA areas)

Type: Multimodal boutique (yoga, barre, Pilates, dance).

Site has marketing around “Why Reformer Pilates in San Antonio is worth a try”, but the membership/pricing table isn’t fully visible publicly on the home/IG landing page. inbalancestudios.com
This is probably similar to others: reformer access is via broader membership tiers; exact prices require contact/app.

MEDIAN

Sorted list:

Median = $22.50 per class

The median ($22.50) is the best representation of the market because:

  • Drop-ins inflate the mean

  • Membership-based usage aligns with per-class equivalents

  • Most SA studios cluster around $20–$25 per class

Median = $22.50 is the sweet spot.
