The Journey of a Movement

The health and tness industry continues to be in a rapid phase of evolution. With new
practices, new technologies, new channels — things can change in a ash. The same
holds true for mindful movement, a category that has grown tremendously since we
started in 1988. The mind-body industry has expanded to include new modalities and
fusions, new audiences, and new equipment and tools to support, build and challenge
tness regimens and service offerings.

In an effort to draw new faces to the world of mindful movement, we continue to
create safe, responsible and results-oriented education, programming and equipment
that are in line with ever-evolving exercise science. Our brands STOTT PILATES,
ZEN•GA,
feature new programming that supports professionals who want to cater to new and
different types of clientele; tness facilities, and health care centers that want to expand
or enhance their client offerings. We also look to support customers training for their
next marathon or those who simply want to make getting out of bed easier each
morning. Our growing equipment line continues to add exercise diversity, catering to
a broader range of clientele needs, and supporting their business growth.

It is rewarding to see the journey that mind-body exercise has taken over the last few
decades and especially rewarding to see the positive impact on tens of thousands
of professionals and their clients around the world. We feel privileged to be at the
forefront of an industry that is helping people of all ages and tness abilities lead
healthier lives. To our global community, we look forward to continued decades of
growth — professionally and personally.

Evolving Equipment for an
Evolving Movement

The use of equipment in mind-body exercise has changed dramatically
since the launch of our rst Reformer. Along with the evolution of
modalities that comprise mindful movement has come an evolution of
the equipment that facilitates it. The introduction of new equipment and
complementary accessories provides greater variety and versatility, to
current and new mind-body exercise modalities, and to the professionals,
businesses and clients that use them.

As our scope of clients continues to expand, so do our offerings.
We constantly innovate and expand our line of exercise equipment to be
