Pvolve, the omni-channel fitness company with an innovative, clinically-backed method that pairs functional movement with proprietary resistance equipment, is set to debut six locations in Arizona this year: three studios in Phoenix, two in Scottsdale, and one in Chandler.

The local franchisees spearheading these various development deals include Brigitte Caruso (Chandler), a former telecommunications operator and Chandler native; Whitney Goodwin and Jeanine Yonushonis (Phoenix), an accountant and advertising executive, respectively; and Caitlin Pettitt and Chuck Huttinger (Scottsdale), experienced entrepreneurs from the marketing sector.

As a pioneer in functional fitness, Pvolve has rapidly gained traction globally this year, as consumers have abandoned long-standing beliefs that workouts must be punishing to be effective. Pvolve is a workout that prioritizes longevity and sustainability, without sacrificing effectiveness. Recently, the company announced the preliminary results of its Healthy Aging study which demonstrated that Pvolve is more effective in improving strength, flexibility, energy and quality of life for women over 40+ than 150 minutes per week of moderate cardio and strength training.* This cultural tailwind helped the brand establish a vital partnership with world-renowned actress Jennifer Aniston, who experienced her own physical transformation through the workout method and officially partnered with the company in June 2023. 

"I've always been passionate about group fitness classes, so when I discovered Pvolve's functional fitness approach, I knew it would strike a chord with our local community," said Jeanine Yonushonis, co-owner of Pvolve Phoenix. "What drew me to the method was its ability to push me to my limits without leaving me feeling completely drained. It's something truly different."

"Here in our community, there's a significant number of women who are determined to live longer, healthier lives, especially considering our limited outdoor activity months," Whitney Goodwin, co-owner of Pvolve Phoenix, added. "Pvolve isn't just a passing trend; it's a genuine investment in health and well-being, promoting longevity and enhancing both physical health and as well as one's physique."

As the fitness industry continues to evolve, Pvolve's functional fitness modality stands out for its untapped potential in large markets. As the demand for holistic fitness experiences grows, Pvolve emerges as an ideal solution for the communities of Phoenix, Chandler, and Scottsdale, where health and wellness are paramount.

"It's incredibly exciting to be expanding into Arizona at the pace we are," said Pvolve President Julie Cartwright. "Each of our franchise partners offers something unique and special, but all share the same underlying passion for the method and bringing it to their communities."
