Kevin Jonas is bringing a Pilates studio to his hometown. The Denville Zoning Board of Adjustment voted unanimously on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, to approve Djore Studios, a boutique Pilates and wellness studio planned for 21-25 Bloomfield Avenue in downtown Denville.
Jonas, the oldest of the Jonas Brothers, lives in Denville with his wife, Danielle, and their two daughters. He came before the board himself to support the plan, telling members the family considers itself part of the community. The idea for the studio grew out of Danielle’s long interest in Pilates and her wish to have a studio right in town.
Where the Kevin Jonas Pilates studio is going
Djore Studios will fill a one-story commercial building on Bloomfield Avenue that has been empty for roughly two years. The work is almost entirely inside the building, and no exterior changes are planned. The site has 13 parking spaces in the rear, and members can also use the municipal lots that serve downtown. If you are new to the area, our Downtown Denville guide covers parking and the shops nearby.
Why the project needed a zoning variance
The property sits in Denville’s B-1 business zone, where health and fitness uses are allowed on upper floors but not at street level. Because the studio will operate on the ground floor, the applicant needed a use variance along with preliminary and final site plan approval. The board granted all of it, and Chairman Edward Moroney called it a good project in a good spot for downtown. Agendas and minutes are posted on the Township of Denville website.
What Djore Studios will offer
Plans presented to the board describe a smaller, higher end boutique rather than a big box gym. The layout includes:
- A reformer room with nine reformer machines that can expand to 14 for larger classes
- A mat Pilates room for about eight or nine people
- One-on-one and small group personal training
- Two massage rooms, a red light therapy room and a sauna, booked by appointment
- A small apparel and retail area near the front desk
Proposed hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekends, with class times staggered to spread out arrivals. An outdoor coffee cart that appeared in the original application was dropped before the vote.
When will the Kevin Jonas Pilates studio open?
No opening date has been announced. With approvals in hand, the next steps are permits and the interior build out. Denville Now will update this story when Djore Studios shares a timeline. Until then, see our roundup of gyms in Denville, including yoga and Pilates.
