Fast-growing wellness and recovery franchise continues national expansion with its third opening by the Tennessee-Alabama franchise group in just over a year

HUNTSVILLE, AL, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Red Light Method, a rapidly emerging fitness, wellness and recovery franchise founded by Allison Beardsley, creator of the global fitness brand Club Pilates, today announced the opening of its 18th location in Huntsville, Alabama, a fast-growing community known for its strong economy, active residents and focus on quality of life.

The opening marks another significant milestone in Red Light Method’s nationwide expansion and strengthens the brand’s presence in Tennessee and Alabama. With more than 70 locations in development across the country, Red Light Method continues to establish itself in the rapidly expanding health, recovery and longevity category.

Driven by increasing consumer interest in science-backed wellness solutions, Red Light Method brings cellular health, movement, fitness and recovery together in one accessible studio experience.
“We are thrilled for our franchisee in Tennessee and Alabama to bring Red Light Method to the Huntsville community. This is the third opening by this franchisee in just over a year, with a fourth on the way,” said Allison Beardsley, founder of Red Light Method. “Huntsville is filled with active individuals and families who are looking for effective ways to feel better, move better, recover faster and support their long-term health. Our goal is to make services that might otherwise cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars individually available to everyday people through one affordable monthly membership. This franchisee loves the community and is making our brand so proud as we impact hundreds of lives in the Huntsville market.”

A Science-Driven Approach to Wellness

Red Light Method’s signature experience begins with a 25-minute medical-grade, FDA-cleared red light therapy session designed to support cellular health. Red Light Method has an exclusive agreement with Contour Light, a medical-grade red light system with FDA clearances for pain and inflammation relief and circumference reduction.
Depending on the studio’s available services, members may also experience complementary wellness and fitness modalities, including Power Plate training, Pilates reformer workouts, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, exercise with oxygen therapy and infrared sauna.
“We are the first studio concept designed to truly bridge the gap between fitness and recovery,” Beardsley said. “True health starts at the cellular level. You can be strong and active, but when cellular health is neglected, overall wellness may suffer. Red light therapy was a turning point for me personally, and today it is the foundation of our method.”
Services similar to those offered at Red Light Method can frequently cost between $150 and $250 per individual treatment elsewhere. Red Light Method was intentionally created to make these modalities more accessible by allowing members to use multiple services several times each week for approximately a couple hundred dollars per month.

18 Locations and Growing

“Opening our 18th studio is an exciting accomplishment, but what matters most is opening studios that are prepared to serve their communities and succeed for the long term,” said Eric Tepper, CEO of Red Light Method. “Our sales, marketing and operations teams continue to strengthen the systems that support franchisees from onboarding and site selection through presale, opening and ongoing operations. Having had the opportunity to visit Alabama and interact with the team and members, I was blown away by how welcoming and excited the Huntsville community was. It felt like coming to a family reunion.”
Tepper added that Huntsville represents the type of community in which Red Light Method is positioned to thrive. “Huntsville has a strong population of health-conscious consumers who value fitness, recovery and quality of life. We believe this studio will become an important wellness destination for the surrounding community, and we are excited to support the local ownership team as they grow.”

Built for Franchisee Success

Red Light Method has developed a comprehensive franchise support system designed to guide owners through every stage of business development and studio operations. The company provides support in areas including site selection, lease negotiation, construction, sales training, local marketing, membership presale and ongoing operational performance.
“We place an enormous emphasis on franchisee success,” Tepper said. “Every franchisee invests their time, money and heart into opening a Red Light Method studio. Their success is our number one priority. Our responsibility is to provide the systems, training, accountability and ongoing support they need to build a strong business.”
Beardsley described Red Light Method as the next evolution of her experience in fitness and wellness franchising. “With Red Light Method, we have applied everything I learned from building Club Pilates and created an even more collaborative and supportive franchise system. Our leadership team operates like a family, and that culture extends to our franchisees, studio teams and members.”
