The Pilates Journal Expo returns to Miami in September 2026

The Pilates Journal Expo Miami returns Sept. 11-13, 2026, at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, bringing Pilates educators, studio owners, suppliers and wellness brands together for workshops, business sessions and networking. The event also sets up a 2027 tour with stops planned in Los Angeles and Sydney.

Why it matters: - The Expo brings together a global Pilates market that spans education, studio operations, equipment, software and wellness brands. - The Miami gathering is designed to help instructors, owners and educators connect around growth, leadership and the future of the profession. - The event also shows how Pilates has become a broader business ecosystem, not just a training discipline.

What happened: - The Pilates Journal Expo Miami returns Sept. 11-13, 2026, at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. - The event is built around weekend education, business insights, networking and a large industry exhibition. - The Expo will feature workshops, business panels, an Expo Hall, product launches, demonstrations and event-only offers. - The Pilates Journal said the Miami event follows the success of recent Expo events.

Between the lines: - The Expo’s mix of education and vendor access suggests Pilates is maturing into a more formalized professional market. - The rollout of multiple international stops points to demand beyond one city or one country. - The emphasis on business panels and studio operations signals that growth and retention matter as much as technique.
