[Fukuoka City Sawara Ward] 'Lulupira Fujisaki-Muromi Store,' a private studio fully equipped with professional Pilates machines, starts offering rental space.

Smile Academy Co., Ltd., which operates nine 'Lulupira' one-on-one Pilates studios in Fukuoka Prefecture, has experimentally started a studio space rental service at 'Lulupira Fujisaki-Muromi (one-on-one Pilates studio)' through major rental space booking sites 'Space Market' and 'Instabase.'

The high-quality private space, equipped with authentic Pilates machines (reformers, etc.), can be widely utilized as a session location for freelance instructors, for individual self-practice, or as a photography studio for social media.

Background for opening Pilates studios as rental spaces

With the recent Pilates boom, there has been a rapid increase in instructors acquiring new qualifications and starting their activities as freelancers. However, dedicated Pilates machines (such as reformers) are very expensive and require a large installation space. This presented unique challenges for instructors, such as 'the hurdle of initial costs is too high to open my own studio independently' and 'I want to provide high-quality personal instruction using machines to clients, but there is no place available.'

Therefore, 'Lulupira Fujisaki-Muromi Store' decided to effectively utilize the idle time of personal sessions and open a part of the studio floor as a rental space. By sharing the studio's extensive facilities and completely private space where users can concentrate without worrying about others' eyes, we aim to support the activities of freelance instructors and contribute to creating an environment where local residents can more easily enjoy Pilates.

Features of 'Lulupira Fujisaki-Muromi Store' as a Pilates rental space

- Fully equipped with professional machines: Essential Pilates equipment such as reformers, magic circles, and yoga mats are available, allowing for authentic sessions without needing to bring your own gear. - Completely private space: A private room where you can concentrate on one-on-one instruction or your own practice without worrying about other users. - Stylish interior and suitable for photography: The clean, white-based interior with natural light is ideal for video and photo shooting for YouTube, Instagram, and other social media platforms. - Children welcome: Similar to regular Lulupira sessions, children are allowed, making it a convenient base for mom instructors.

Fitness situation and potential for freelance activities in the Fujisaki-Muromi area

The Fujisaki, Muromi, and Momochi areas of Sawara Ward in Fukuoka City are known as one of the prefecture's leading educational districts, with many families raising children and affluent residents who are willing to invest in education, health, and beauty. In particular, there is a very large latent need for 'serious Pilates lessons' among those highly conscious of postpartum body recovery and improving daily posture.

Therefore, for freelance Pilates instructors and personal trainers, this area is a very attractive market where they can easily meet clients who demand high-quality services and establish a base for their activities.

However, in the vicinity of the Fujisaki-Muromi area, there are almost no 'rental studios fully equipped with Pilates machines' that instructors can privately rent for sessions. The current situation is that despite customer demand, instructors are forced to ask clients to travel to central areas like Tenjin or Hakata, or compromise with only mat Pilates, due to a lack of places to teach.

By providing this rare environment as a rental space, our studio believes it can make it easier for skilled instructors to work in the Fujisaki-Muromi area, and as a result, deliver higher quality wellness experiences to local residents.
