Bosschart and husband Andre Borghoff, along with Scott Cairncross, are opening a franchise of the Pilates club in 2017 S. Neil St., Suite B, in Champaign, which was the home of a broken shop outside. The trio also plans to open locations in Bloomington and Peoria.
Bosschart and Borghoff said that over 250 people have been registered for membership in the location of Champaign, which will have a soft opening on March 17 and a magnificent opening about four to six weeks later.
Bosschart said they would use the month or more before the magnificent opening to assess which class time they are in demand and then create a permanent schedule.
Borghoff noted that the business will operate in a “monthly tariff model”.
“We have great expectations,” he said. “So far we have been hosted with open wings.”
