(AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast) This photo provided by YogaSix La Quinta shows Chris Dordell and Jason Fenske on July 27, 2022 in Palm Springs, Calif. When Chris Dordell and his husband Jason Fenske decided to leave their jobs at Wells Fargo and Salesforce and open two Club Pilates in 2018 and a YogaSix studio in 2020, in and around Palm Springs, they appreciated the playbook provided by the franchisor, Xponential. "It was appealing at this stage after being in corporate jobs for 20-plus years that we could plug into an existing model," Dordell said. (YogaSix La Quinta via AP)
