Run by Kara Spice and Joshua Gascoigne, a KX Pilates franchise is a valuable business opportunity to drive fitness forward through your own successful venture.

Driven by her passion to help people achieve their full potential, Kara is excited to support and lead our thriving brand throughout New Zealand.
Josh Gascoigne

A former professional international rugby player with a background in strength and conditioning in the high-performance world, Josh understands first-hand what it takes to perform at the highest level, both in sporting and professional environments. Josh clutched the opportunity to transfer his experience in high-performance sports to delivering innovative health and wellness solutions to enhance the well-being of others.

KX franchising is successful because our business formula was developed and tested by Founder Aaron Smith before being franchised. Therefore, it’s important that the franchise agreement allows the franchisor to protect this formula while providing space for future innovation and development.
A Franchise Agreement is a legal contract that binds you (Franchisee) and KX (Franchisor) in business together.
Franchise Agreements outline the rights and obligations of the franchisee and the franchisor under the franchise arrangement and are compliant to the Franchise Code.
The Franchise fee includes a comprehensive training program for all new franchise Owners hosted at HQ. The cost of training is included in the franchise fee if purchasing a brand new studio.
