There are stories that never truly end; they await the right moment to begin anew. For sisters Caroline Maxcy-Fox and Caitlin Maxcy, that moment arrived in September 2024, when they opened their first business together: CC Studio, a space dedicated to offering yoga and pilates classes.
Now, the sisters are preparing to launch a second business, to be named CC Wellness Club, through which they will expand their services. There, they plan to offer a much wider range of physical activities and fully integrate a holistic wellness approach.
However, the location they chose for their first business was no coincidence; it holds immense sentimental value for them. Their father, Guy Maxcy, who passed away in 2014, owned the property for many years. He served as the president of The Maxcy Group.
A portion of the office space was sold following his passing. Then, in March 2026, the sisters signed a contract marking a major business decision: to repurchase the space that once belonged to their father to open their second location. These offices hold far more than just history; they represent the hard work and cherished memories shared within their family.
This endeavor allows them to reclaim for their family what was once theirs. “We love that this is happening; we love that the community has embraced us so warmly, showing such enthusiasm for this project, and being able to carry this forward is incredibly gratifying. The studio isn’t named ‘Maxcy,’ but in a way, it is we, his daughters, who are carrying on his legacy. It truly feels as though we are honoring him and everything he built, both within his family and within this community,” Maxcy-Fox said.
Thus, this property has come to represent something far greater, having been transformed into something entirely new, and so, CC Wellness Club is born. The sisters have been preparing for this venture for quite some time; in October 2025, for instance, they acquired five high-quality pilates reformers, enabling the business to offer personalized, exclusive classes utilizing this specialized equipment.
“I lived in Miami for a long time, so I was already familiar with the pilates business. I knew what a small operation looked like versus a large one. So, when I passed by this location and spoke with the previous owner, I thought, I said to myself: ‘I think this could work.’” Maxcy, referring to the moment she visited the site for their second studio.
CC Wellness Club will offer a variety of services categorized into fitness and wellness. These include exclusive private reformer pilates classes; indoor cycling sessions featuring 10 to 12 stationary bikes; and wellness treatments such as massages, facials and light therapy, among others.
They will also offer flow therapy within a pod designed for deep relaxation and athletic recovery. “You put in earplugs, and you can basically meditate. Plus, the minerals in the water are good for you,” Maxcy said. During the 40-minute session, music and the sound of the water are the only things present. The water undergoes a three-stage filtration process to ensure it remains pristine, and it will be changed daily.
The sisters are still finalizing all the details; among other plans, they plan to install showers for clients who wish to freshen up after their classes.
Beyond the individual services, this space is designed to allow the community to pause their busy lives, to breathe and to reconnect.
The business is scheduled to open sometime between June and July, and will be located at 1570 Lakeview Drive, Suite 100, in Sebring, right next door to CC Studio.
The launch of this new venture does more than address the community’s needs; it represents the growth and transformation of a historic space through an innovative new concept. Within this building, a new chapter is now unfolding for the sisters — one focused on wellness, connection and the future of Highlands County.
“Every time I walk in here, I feel my dad. I feel as though he’s cheering us on, and he’d probably say, ‘Yoga? Pilates? What is that?’ But I feel he would be very proud of us; he always supported us, no matter what direction we took,” Maxcy said.
