BOSTON— Related Beal has announced that Strong Pilates will become the newest retail tenant at One Kenmore Square, further expanding the mixed-use development’s offerings in the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood.
The Pilates-based fitness studio will occupy approximately 2,302 square feet and is expected to open in summer 2026. The addition marks a continued effort by Related Beal to bring experiential retail and wellness-focused tenants to one of Boston’s busiest commercial hubs.
Strong Pilates is known for its hybrid workout model that combines Pilates, cardio, and strength training into a low-impact, high-intensity class format. Central to its concept are proprietary machines such as the “Rowformer” and “Bikeformer,” which are designed to deliver full-body workouts. The brand currently operates more than 100 studios worldwide and is in the midst of a significant global expansion.
“We continuously strive to partner with tenants that bring new experiences to the neighborhood,” said Erin Orpik of Related Beal. “Their innovative approach to fitness not only complements the dynamic character of Kenmore Square, but enhances the neighborhood’s mix of offerings.”
The move into Boston represents a strategic step for Strong Pilates as it builds its U.S. presence. The company cited the area’s central location, accessibility via public transit, and vibrant commercial environment as key factors in selecting Kenmore Square.
“Boston is a market we’ve had our eye on for some time,” said Logan Paquin, whose firm is spearheading the brand’s expansion. “One Kenmore’s centralized location and strong tenant mix make it the ideal home for one of our first studios in the city.”
Located in Fenway-Kenmore, One Kenmore Square is a 471,000-square-foot development featuring lab, office, and retail space. The property sits just steps from Fenway Park and is recognizable by its proximity to the city’s iconic Citgo sign.
The development includes the Commonwealth Building, fully leased to WHOOP, and the Beacon Building, which offers flexible retail and workspace options with direct access to MBTA transit.
The Strong Pilates lease follows a series of recent additions to One Kenmore Square, including a boutique wine retailer and a biotechnology tenant, as Related Beal continues to shape the property into a destination for both innovation and lifestyle amenities.
