A new pilates studio was officially opened by the Mayor of Kenilworth this weekend.

Business partners Nyle Beckett and Wissam Khozoui have opened Rise & Reform Pilates on Warwick Road, the latest studio founded by the growing business.

Work has been underway on site at the former jewellers over the past few weeks, culminating in Cllr Alison Insley cutting the ribbon on Saturday (8 August).

"This is our fourth site that we are looking to open," Nyle told Nub News.

"We opened our first site in Leamington 18 months ago, and we have since opened another site in Rugby in February, we then relocated our original site in Leamington Spa at the end of February and then opened our third site at the end of May in Stratford.

"It has been a pretty busy start to the year!"

Rise & Reform was launched by Nyle and Wissam as the two personal trainers saw an increased demand from their existing client base.

Already running successful PT businesses, they said their clients had to go elsewhere for reformer pilates sessions, and asked if the duo would be able to expand their offering.

Nyle explained: "We started our working careers as personal trainers.

"We have worked alongside each other and opened our own studios.

"When we first opened, a lot of our members were going elsewhere for their reformer pilates, they liked the product we were offering for PT and asked whether it is something we could explore.

"We started at our site in Leamington and quickly outgrew that space.

"Our clientele have helped support our success and then we have created a bit more brand presence and built a strong team around us, delivering the product and we are trying to create the best working environment for them and the best training environment for our community members as well."

After the success of their existing studios in Leamington, Rugby and Stratford, Nyle said Kenilworth was the right next step.

Having gone to school in the town, he was already well acquainted with the local area, and said the unit on Warwick Road was exactly what they were looking for.

"We are taking everything back to brick and building a brand new studio facility," Nyle said.

"We will also have a social space, a coffee shop out the front.

"We are not trying to compete with the rest of the high street, it is a space to do socials for our community members and a space where connections can be built before and after classes.

"Rather than being an in-and-out service, we want to give an opportunity for people to build those deeper connections and have a space where they can socialise."
