BODYBAR Pilates Edmond is operated by first-time franchise owners and sisters, Lyndsie Oathout and Mallory Sapp. Lyndsie first discovered the brand as a founding member of BODYBAR Pilates West Wichita, where she quickly fell in love with Pilates, the studio community, and most importantly, how she felt in her own body. She became more involved with the studio by becoming a sales associate, an instructor, then eventually began exploring the idea of studio ownership. During her research, Lyndsie found Oklahoma did not have any BODYBAR studios and saw an opportunity to team up with Mallory, an Edmond resident, to open the state's first. Mallory left her sales role at Our Blood Institute to join Lyndsie as co‑owner, and ever since, they've been preparing for the Edmond studio's debut.

"BODYBAR Pilates has become a place of healing and growth for me, which is why opening the first studio in Oklahoma is incredibly special to me," said Lyndsie Oathout, co-franchise owner, BODYBAR Pilates Edmond. "Pilates has allowed me to feel the best I've ever felt in my own skin, and I'm passionate about creating a studio environment that empowers others to become the best versions of themselves. Mallory and I were both ready for a new chapter in our careers, and when we met the BODYBAR team, we immediately felt at home. We can't wait to share that feeling with our members."

Founded to redefine fitness, BODYBAR Pilates' mission is to cultivate a balanced, athletic, and real community. The Edmond studio will span 2,800 square feet and include 14 Reformers, a private room for one‑on‑one training, and additional space for hosting business‑to‑business partners during member events. The studio will offer BODYBAR's signature athletic Pilates classes, led by certified instructors and designed to support strength, balance, mobility, and overall well-being for all fitness levels, using state-of-the-art Pilates equipment.

"We've already had tremendous growth in 2026, and we're pleased to continue building on that momentum by opening our first Oklahoma studio this summer," said Kamille McCollum, chief brand officer, president, and co-founder of BODYBAR Pilates. "Not only is Edmond a great area, but having a studio in such close proximity to Oklahoma City will be incredibly valuable. It's an exciting time to be part of the franchise, and we love partnering with such dedicated and passionate owners like Lyndsie and Mallory. We're confident they will uphold our values and we're so happy to welcome them to the BODYBAR Pilates family."

Looking ahead, Lyndsie and Mallory hope to open an additional BODYBAR studio in the coming years. They are exploring options in greater Oklahoma City and other parts of the state. BODYBAR Pilates continues to grow nationwide, with over 18,000 members and 81 studios nationwide, with another 60 opening this year.
