By Atlas Watchline Staff · News · August 26, 2026

BODYBAR Pilates says it will try to host a 100-person, 100-reformer class in Frisco, Texas, on Sept. 13, 2026, while marking Pilates' 100th anniversary and its own 100th studio milestone.

BODYBAR Pilates says it will attempt a 100-person, 100-reformer class on Sept. 13, 2026, in Frisco, Texas, as part of a celebration tied to Pilates' 100th anniversary and the company’s 100th studio milestone.

The 50-minute class is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. CDT at the Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star, according to a company release published Aug. 26. BODYBAR said the event will take place during its annual conference and will include franchise owners, instructors and invited media.

The company said the class is intended as an attempt to host the largest reformer Pilates class on record. BODYBAR said Balanced Body, Inc. will provide all 100 reformers for the event.

The planned class also has a charitable angle. BODYBAR said it will donate $10,000, or $100 per reformer, to the Foundation for Women's Cancer in recognition of Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month in September. The company said the foundation supports efforts to eradicate gynecologic cancer.

BODYBAR said Kamille McCollum, identified in the release as its chief brand officer, president and co-founder, will lead the class with support from a team of BODYBAR instructors. The company said the attempt is independently organized and will be documented with formal record-keeping rigor, with full documentation to be made available after the class.

The release also said BODYBAR is marking 100 years of Pilates, referring to Joseph and Clara Pilates opening their first studio in New York City in 1926. In the same release, the company said its 100th studio grand opening will take place at Presidio in North Fort Worth, Texas, on Sept. 8, 2026.

What happens next is the Sept. 13 event itself, followed by the company’s release of documentation supporting the record attempt after the class, BODYBAR said.
