The JETSET Pilates Story

JETSET Pilates is a modern reformer Pilates franchise founded in Miami in 2010 by Tamara Galinsky, who serves as the company’s Brand President. After relocating from London, Galinsky launched the concept to create a more dynamic and engaging Pilates experience than traditional studios typically offered.

The JETSET Pilates method combines elements of classical Pilates, cardio, and strength training, structured into 50-minute sessions that emphasize choreographed movement on custom-made reformers. Each class is set to DJ-curated playlists, creating an energetic environment that aims to enhance focus and motivation.

The workout is designed as a high-intensity, low-impact, full-body training session that improves strength, flexibility, and endurance while maintaining accessibility for a wide range of fitness levels. The studios are characterized by their modern design and welcoming atmosphere, reflecting the brand’s positioning as “accessible luxury.”

Following strong growth in its home market, JETSET Pilates began franchising in 2022 and has since expanded across the United States and internationally. As of October 2025, more than 200 franchise locations have been sold, with studios operating or in development across key regions including Florida, Texas, New York, California, and Australia.

The Reception Service

Our experience started strongly on the phone. The enquiry was answered promptly, our name was taken and used, and pricing was explained clearly when single class rates weren’t visible online. The conversation felt confident and informative, and we finished the call feeling prepared to visit.

In studio, the welcome was seamless. We were greeted warmly, acknowledged as first timers and guided through an unrushed orientation covering the layout and reformer setup. Check-in was efficient and organised. After class, there was proactive follow-up and a clear discussion about package options based on training frequency and lifestyle. A time-sensitive offer was explained confidently without pressure, and there was a clear attempt to guide the next step. Service felt polished and conversion focused.

The Class Experience

JetSet Pilates Glen Iris received our Class Experience Award of Excellence.

Coaching was confident and controlled throughout. We were acknowledged as first timers, asked about prior experience and given a clear induction on using the reformer. An injury check was conducted and adjustments were made where required. The class started on time, instructions were clear and music supported the session flow.

During the workout, delivery was technically strong. Demonstrations were precise, cues were easy to follow and progressions and regressions were layered appropriately. The coach moved consistently around the studio, observing form and offering discreet corrections. Our name was used during class, reinforcing attentiveness. The session ended warmly with post-class follow-up. A clearly defined cooldown or stretch segment was not included.

The Equipment And Studio

The studio supported a smooth session. Reformers and equipment were clean, in excellent condition and professionally maintained. Equipment was well organised and spaced to allow safe movement.

The space was fresh and well maintained. Lighting supported visibility and brand presence, with navy reformers and a large logo reinforcing identity. The sound system was clear. The design was functional and premium without strong architectural features.

The Facilities And Public Areas

The club was easy to locate and presented a clean first impression. Branding was consistent across signage, colour themes and retail displays. The waiting area was spacious with adequate seating and comfortable temperature.

Lockers were clean and conveniently positioned, with different locking formats available. Complimentary water was available via a tap, alongside paid drink options including fruit juice, coconut water and flavoured sparkling water. There was no dedicated changing area, requiring use of the toilet for privacy. No shower facilities or hairdryers were available. Cleanliness and branding were strong, though post-class convenience was limited.

Booking was efficient via both website and branded app. Confirmation emails clearly outlined cancellation terms and arrival instructions. The process was intuitive and reliable.

The website was mobile friendly and aligned with the brand tone. Class descriptions and schedules were easy to find and calls to action were clear. Client reviews reinforced positioning.
