Pilates Addiction Sets Its Sights on Wayne With High-Energy Studio Debut Planned for 2026

Wayne is preparing to welcome a bold new fitness experience as national boutique brand Pilates Addiction announces plans to open a state-of-the-art studio at 1591 Alps Road early next year. The upcoming location marks the brand’s continued expansion across New Jersey and reflects growing demand for elevated, boutique-style wellness spaces that blend performance training with a modern social atmosphere.

The Wayne studio will be locally owned and operated by entrepreneur and fitness advocate Rhea Shivnani, who sees the township as an ideal fit for the brand’s contemporary take on Pilates. She has cited Wayne’s strong wellness culture and community-driven spirit as key factors behind selecting the location. Following the Wayne debut, additional studios are planned for Montclair, Hoboken, and Paramus, positioning North Jersey as a major hub for the brand’s regional growth in 2026.

Pilates Addiction distinguishes itself by transforming traditional Pilates into an immersive, high-energy workout experience. Classes are held in a mood-lit studio designed to resemble a boutique nightclub environment, combining intensity with an upbeat atmosphere that motivates participants from start to finish. Each session is 50 minutes long and structured as a full-body workout delivered in a semi-private format, ensuring personalized attention while maintaining group energy.

Central to the experience is the brand’s proprietary WundaFormer machine, a multi-functional piece of equipment that merges a reformer, jump board, ballet barre, and Wunda Chair into a single system. This innovative design allows instructors to guide participants through varied sequences that emphasize strength, balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular conditioning, making every class dynamic and comprehensive.

Beyond the studio floor, the Wayne location will feature a boutique retail area and a streamlined digital check-in system, creating a seamless arrival and departure experience for members. These added elements reflect the brand’s focus on blending fitness with lifestyle, making each visit feel polished and intentional.

Pilates Addiction promotes its philosophy as more than a workout routine, positioning its sessions as a way to build functional strength and long-term mobility. The brand’s instructors, known as Team PA, are extensively trained to lead classes with both technical precision and personal encouragement, fostering an environment that supports beginners while still challenging seasoned fitness enthusiasts.
