Pvolve
Fitness · 44+ locations · New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Diego, Bay Area, Boston, Philadelphia, and other US/Canada metros
Pvolve reads like a founder-led wellness brand, and CEO Rachel Katzman still runs it. But Camelot Venture Group, a private investment firm, holds the largest stake and controls the LLC. Most of its studios are franchisee-owned, not corporate.
The Big Picture
Founder Rachel Katzman still runs Pvolve day-to-day as CEO, but the company's largest shareholder and controlling LLC member is Camelot Venture Group, a private investment firm, not the founders. Worker pay looks solid: Glassdoor rates it 3.9/5 and instructor pay runs well above minimum wage, with no labor enforcement record found. Separately, Pvolve discloses nothing about its environmental footprint despite operating nationally. At 44 studios and growing, most locations are franchisee-owned small businesses operating under a brand an outside investor controls.
