On September 26, 2026, from 4:00 to 9:30pm, bsport opens its Passeig de Gràcia rooftop to around 40 studio owners, and operators from across Europe.
The event pairs bsport with The Wellbeing Company, the team behind Pilates Class UK and WEL-B, bringing both companies' networks together for an afternoon of Pilates, breathwork and a sustainable-studios workshop.
Every ticket for Stretch & Connect goes to The Lewis Foundation, which delivers free gift and support packs to adult cancer patients in hospitals across the UK.
September is a big month for fitness. Members are back, studios are buzzing, and new ideas are taking shape.
That’s why we chose this September to open up the bsport rooftop in Barcelona for an afternoon of movement, learning and good company, all in support of The Lewis Foundation and as part of World Wellness Weekend.
Together with The Wellbeing Company (the team behind Pilates Class UK and WEL-B), we’re hosting Stretch & Connect, bringing studio owners and operators together to network, share ideas and stretch a little.
Expect Pilates, breathwork, practical conversations, new connections and a little Barcelona sunshine. 100% of every €25 ticket donation will go to The Lewis Foundation, helping provide free gift and support packs to adults receiving cancer treatment.
Here’s what to expect, and how to get one of the 40 rooftop spots.
Come for the Pilates, stay for the people
On Saturday 26 September, from 4:00 to 9:30pm CEST, we’ll bring the fitness and wellness community together at bsport HQ on Passeig de Gràcia.
You can expect:
- A practical workshop on building a stronger, more sustainable studio
- Pilates with Bethan Dando from The Wellbeing Company
- Sound Healing Meditation with Sam Williams from Her Peaceful Place
- Time to meet and swap ideas with other studio owners and operators
- Drinks on the rooftop to round off the evening
The idea is simple: step away from the day-to-day, learn something useful and spend time with people building businesses alongside you from independent studio owners and boutique franchise operators.
Stretch your thinking, too
Some of the best ideas come from talking to people who understand the challenges, opportunities and ambitions that come with running a studio.
Stretch & Connect is a chance to share experiences with your community, hear how other operators are approaching growth and take a few fresh ideas back to your own business.
Because every studio has its own vision, but there’s plenty we can learn from each other.
Supporting The Lewis Foundation
Stretch & Connect is taking place in celebration of World Wellness Weekend, and we’re using the occasion to support a cause close to our partners at The Wellbeing Company.
Every €25 ticket donation goes directly to The Lewis Foundation, a charity providing free gift and support packs to adults receiving cancer treatment in hospitals across the UK.
The packs combine practical and comforting items to make long days of treatment a little easier.
We’re proud to bring our community together in Barcelona while supporting the work they do.
Join us on the rooftop
We’re keeping Stretch & Connect intentionally small, with around 40 spots on the bsport rooftop for:
- Independent studio owners
- Boutique franchise operators
- Future founders actively planning to open a studio
Entry is a minimum €25 donation to The Lewis Foundation, with 100% of ticket donations supporting their work.
With limited space on the rooftop, spots are likely to go quickly. If you’d like to join us for an afternoon of new ideas, new connections and a little Barcelona sunshine, we’d love to see you there.
