Nike Closes Fitness Studios Across All Locations

April 2, 2026

Nike Studios, the boutique fitness concept the footwear giant launched in 2023 alongside FitLab, has shuttered or suspended operations across all of its locations in Texas and California, according to widespread social media posts from members and trainers.

FitLab co-founder and co-CEO Brian Kirkbride confirmed the transition in a statement to Athletech News.

“After careful consideration, the majority of the Nike Studios locations will be transitioning to FitLab’s owned portfolio of fitness brands,” Kirkbride said, citing yoga brand Y7, small-group strength training brand Racked, Mile High Run Club and XPT, a performance wellness brand founded by Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece, as the receiving brands.
