BODYBAR Pilates Royal Palm Beach is owned by first-time franchise owner Barbara Benz, supported by her husband, Justin. The couple built their respective careers in travel and real estate before discovering BODYBAR Pilates. After the birth of their son, Barbara’s doctor recommended trying Reformer Pilates as a form of pelvic floor therapy. She tried a complimentary beginner class at the Sarasota studio and instantly connected with the workout. She quickly enrolled as a client and within a month, became an instructor. Six months later, she knew she wanted to become a franchise owner and open her own studio. Encouraged by her parents who own their own businesses, Barbara approached entrepreneurship thoughtfully, researching the business model to make sure it aligned with her lifestyle and goals. The couple relocated across the state to bring the concept to Palm Beach County. She will oversee all client facing operations, while he manages finance and real estate development.

“I’ve always been a fitness enthusiast, but Reformer Pilates has truly changed my life,” said Barbara Benz, franchise owner, BODYBAR Pilates Royal Palm Beach. “I’ll never forget my first BODYBAR class – I sat down at my Reformer and saw the saying ‘get comfortable being uncomfortable’ on the wall. Those words spoke volumes to me. Trying something new can be intimidating, but I believe it’s how we grow, and opening this studio is part of that journey for me. I want it to feel like a sanctuary for our members to feel good, make friends, have fun, and establish a community. I’m thrilled to be opening this summer and can’t wait to share BODYBAR’s experience soon.”

Founded to redefine fitness, BODYBAR Pilates’ mission is to cultivate a balanced, athletic, and real community. The Royal Palm Beach studio will span 1,920 square feet, have 12 Reformers and offer BODYBAR’s signature athletic Pilates classes. These are led by certified instructors and designed to support strength, balance, mobility, and overall well-being for all fitness levels, using state-of-the-art Pilates equipment.

“We’re pleased to be expanding our presence in Florida, one of our key development states,” said Kamille McCollum, chief brand officer, president, and co-founder of BODYBAR Pilates. “Partnering with new franchise owners like Barbara, who embody our values and have a passion for connecting with their communities, makes our debut in Palm Beach County especially meaningful. We look forward to supporting her success.”

Looking ahead, the Benzs hope to open an additional BODYBAR studio in the coming years. They are exploring options in West Palm Beach, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Gardens. BODYBAR Pilates continues to grow nationwide, with over 18,000 members and 81 studios nationwide, with another 60 opening this year.

After completing some online and in studio Pilates training, Christine was debating completing her Pilates certification and being a Pilates Instructor. Christine’s husband encouraged her to open her own studio. As she explored franchise opportunities, BODYBAR immediately felt like home.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where our members can grow and encourage one another. Opening this studio is the start of a new chapter I’m really looking forward to!”

Premium Pilates Franchise Celebrates Key Milestone Shortly After Reaching 350 Territories

MIAMI — JETSET Pilates, the fast-growing modern Reformer Pilates franchise offering premium, full-body workouts, has surpassed 400 territories sold, shortly after reaching its 350-territory milestone earlier this year. The achievement underscores rising demand for boutique Pilates concepts and continued momentum behind JETSET’s elevated Reformer Pilates experience.

With 70 studios open across the U.S. and Australia and more than 80 additional studios expected to open in 2026, JETSET is targeting 500 territories sold and 150 studios open by the end of the year reinforcing the brand’s ability to translate franchise demand into meaningful studio growth. The latest growth includes 18 territories purchased by existing franchise partners, reflecting strong validation from within the system.

The continued investment from existing franchise partners showcases the confidence operators have in JETSET’s business model, brand positioning and long-term growth potential. The brand’s accelerated growth has been supported by continued investments in its franchise system, including expanded support centers, centralized services, top-tier training programs and marketing support. Together, these resources give franchise partners the tools needed to open and operate successfully while staying focused on studio execution and the client experience. With an average unit volume of $1.13 million, JETSET’s strong studio performance has helped attract entrepreneurs interested in bringing the brand’s modern Pilates experience to their own communities, further fueling its nationwide expansion.

“This milestone is especially meaningful because it reflects both new franchise partner demand and continued growth from our existing owners,” said Tamara Galinsky, Founder and Brand President of JETSET Pilates. “Reaching 400 territories so soon after we sold our 350^th is a powerful reflection of how far JETSET has come, and we’re incredibly excited to build on this momentum as we continue expanding into new communities.”

The new deals will expand the brand’s footprint into metros across the country, including:

Lincoln Park, Illinois
Austin, Texas
Seattle, Washington
Charlotte and Wilmington, North Carolina
Tucson, Arizona
The New York/New Jersey metropolitan area
Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado
San Francisco, California
Fort Myers, Florida
Boston, Massachusetts

Alongside JETSET’s major growth milestone, the brand has also been selected as one of Athletech News’ Most Innovative Companies of 2026, a list of the most cutting-edge, forward-thinking brands in the fitness and wellness industry.

In addition to surpassing 400 territories sold, JETSET’s continued studio-opening momentum is being supported by strong franchise partner demand, growing consumer interest in elevated Pilates concepts and a scalable support model designed to help the brand expand across key U.S. markets.

“As we continue expanding, our focus is on growing with intention and making sure our franchise partners have the tools, training and support they need to succeed,” said Bert Albertse, CEO of JETSET Pilates. “We’ve prioritized operational infrastructure so franchisees can stay focused on delivering a premium studio experience and building strong communities.

Pilates Addiction Launches Next 300-Territory Expansion Following Record-Breaking First Year

Paul Zboichyk2026-06-05T02:58:59-04:00June 5th, 2026|Tags: fitness franchise, Pilates Addiction, Reformer Pilates Franchise|

Fast-growing Pilates franchise enters its second year with new available markets nationwide and internationally, accelerating studio openings and growth while continuing to pace ahead of competitors in the boutique Pilates space.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — After awarding more than 300 franchise territories across 27 states in less than a year, Pilates Addiction is officially launching its next 300 territory expansion campaign, opening development opportunities in strategic markets across the United States, including Portland, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Fort Worth, with additional territories available throughout the nation.

Since launching franchising in June 2025, Pilates Addiction has emerged as one of the fastest-growing concepts in boutique fitness, rapidly outpacing growth benchmarks across the Pilates franchise category. New studios are preselling dozens of memberships before opening, driven by the brand’s proprietary equipment, studio design, and the go-to-market sales and marketing strategies executed by its local franchise operators.

With 125 studios projected to open in 2026 and VIP membership momentum building across multiple markets, demand continues to accelerate as consumers seek a modern, results-driven Pilates experience. The brand is entering its next phase of expansion with a focus on attracting best-in-class operators, entrepreneurs, and multi-unit franchise groups.

“Our first year created extraordinary momentum and we are pleased with the early success we’ve seen with new studio openings,” said Sarah Luna, Founder and CEO of Pilates Addiction. “As we launch the next 300 territories, we’re selecting entrepreneurial franchisees who desire building impactful businesses and strong communities, ultimately shaping the future of Pilates.”

A Franchise Community Built Across Industries

Pilates Addiction has resonated with operators from across industries – retail executives, finance and accounting professionals, fitness operators, and first-time business owners – each drawn to the brand for their own reasons.

Jennifer D’Alessandro of Minneapolis–Saint Paul is one of them. Recognized as Pilates Addiction’s 300th franchise owner, D’Alessandro brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across Amazon, Target, and Hive Brands, and currently serves as Vice President of Merchandising & E-Commerce at Grove Collaborative.

“The real ‘aha’ moment for me was seeing my 15-year-old daughter and her friends eager to sign up for a class. Pilates is transcending generations. It’s no longer just a trend, it’s a lifestyle. I chose Pilates Addiction because I believe it is the perfect execution of the modern Pilates experience, designed to elevate the studio environment and reach a new, diverse range of consumers. I am incredibly excited to bring this brand to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul market and contribute to the community in such a positive, impactful way.” – Jennifer D’Alessandro, Pilates Addiction Minneapolis–Saint Paul

For Amber and Kevin Knafel of Greenwood, Indiana, franchising was a new lane – one that paired Kevin’s experience operating one of the largest automotive dealerships in the state with Amber’s background in sales and network marketing. What stood out wasn’t just the business model, but the backing behind it.

“We can’t thank the Pilates Addiction team enough for their unwavering support from day one, from Discovery Day through our latest pre-sale launch. We love the team-oriented culture here and appreciate that the organization genuinely wants to see every franchisee succeed.” – Amber & Kevin Knafel, Pilates Addiction Greenwood, IN

Investing in Educator Training & Support

In addition to rapid franchise development, Pilates Addiction continues investing heavily in educator training and operational support through the Pilates Addiction Movement Academy (PAMA), led by VP of Education Liza Beres. With 335 educators currently enrolled and more than $1.34 million in active educator sponsorships underway systemwide, PAMA trains Pilates Educators, not just instructors, in anatomy, biomechanics, and movement science. This academy is central to how the brand supports franchisees in launching successfully and scaling with confidence.

Available Markets

Building on a year of remarkable growth and strong studio performance, Pilates Addiction enters its second year focused on accelerating nationwide expansion, entering strategically available markets, and building the foundation for its next 300 territories across the United States. With more than 700 territories still available nationwide, the brand remains in the early stages of its long-term growth trajectory.

The brand is actively awarding franchises in the following markets, with additional territories available on request:

West: Portland, OR, Sacramento, CA, Los Angeles, CA
Southwest: Phoenix, AZ, Salt Lake City, UT, Denver, CO, Fort Worth, TX
Midwest: Kansas City, MO, Minneapolis, MN, Chicago, IL, Cincinnati, OH, Detroit, MI, Omaha, NE, Pittsburgh, PA

JETSET Pilates Announces Grand Opening in Buckhead, Bringing Premium Reformer Pilates to Atlanta Community

Paul Zboichyk2026-05-16T19:53:51-04:00May 16th, 2026|Tags: fitness franchise, JETSET Pilates, Reformer Pilates Franchise|

Couple introducing a community-driven, modern Pilates experience to the Buckhead area

ATLANTA — JETSET Pilates, the fast-growing modern Reformer Pilates franchise offering premium, full-body workouts, is expanding in Atlanta with a new studio opening in Buckhead. Located at 3330 Piedmont Road NE in the Buckhead Landing center, the studio will be owned and operated by Nick and Neo Celeste. Preview classes are set to begin May 14, with a grand opening celebration planned for May 30 featuring local vendors, light bites and drinks, a DJ, access to discounted Founding Memberships, and exclusive JETSET swag.

The Buckhead studio marks the first location for the couple, who bring a complementary background within fitness, finance and entrepreneurship and plan to open a second location in Midtown in early 2027. Nick’s entrepreneurial mindset was shaped early on, growing up in a family that owned and operated dance studios in Ohio. That foundation carried into a decade-long career in finance, where he worked closely with fitness brands and franchise systems. Throughout his career, he remained driven by the goal of eventually opening his own fitness studio, seeking the right concept that aligned with both his professional expertise and personal passion.

“Given my background, I was focused on finding a brand with a proven model and real consistency as it scales,” said Nick. “Just as important, I wanted a workout I genuinely believed in, and JETSET delivered. It challenged me in a way that felt both effective and elevated, and that’s exactly the kind of experience we’re excited to bring to Buckhead with a strong, passionate team behind it.”

Neo, a long-time personal trainer in Buckhead, brings hands-on fitness expertise and a strong connection to the local community that will help shape the studio experience. With a background across leading fitness brands in Atlanta, Neo provides a genuine passion for fostering connection through movement that aligns seamlessly with JETSET’s elevated, experience-driven model.

“As a trainer, I’m focused on how people move, how they progress, and how they feel over time,” said Neo. “What excites me about this studio is the ability to meet people at different levels and help them build real strength and confidence. It’s not just about one workout; it’s about creating something sustainable that people can come back to and grow with.”

The 2,800-square-foot studio will feature 18 custom reformers and offer JETSET’s signature 50-minute classes, combining strength, cardio and Pilates-inspired movements set to DJ-curated music. Each class is designed to strengthen, lengthen, and energize both body and mind. Ahead of the opening, the team has already begun building relationships with the community through weekly mat Pilates events, pop-ups, and partnerships with local businesses, including collaborations with aligned wellness and lifestyle brands.

“With Neo’s background in fitness and Nick’s experience in finance and franchise growth, they bring a uniquely balanced approach to building their studio,” said Bertus Albertse, CEO and President of JETSET Pilates. “We’re excited for Buckhead and Atlanta residents to experience not just the JETSET workout, but the sense of connection and community that defines our brand.”

JETSET Pilates Brings Its Signature Reformer Experience to Houston with First Location in River Oaks

Paul Zboichyk2026-05-06T11:59:26-04:00May 6th, 2026|Tags: fitness franchise, JETSET Pilates, Reformer Pilates Franchise|

Women’s Healthcare Professional Launches Boutique Fitness Studio Rooted in Care and Community

HOUSTON — JETSET Pilates, the fast-growing modern Reformer Pilates franchise offering premium, full-body workouts, is proud to announce the upcoming grand opening of its first Houston city location in the River Oaks neighborhood. Located at 3515 W. Dallas Street, Suite 200, the new 1,800-square-foot studio has begun preview classes and will open its doors officially on May 18, with a grand opening celebration to follow on May 30.

JETSET Pilates River Oaks is owned and operated by Tiana Montgomery, a women’s healthcare professional with over a decade of experience caring for others during some of life’s most meaningful and vulnerable moments. A nurse by training, she has worked across labor and delivery, oncology, and medical device sales. These experiences deeply shaped her perspective on physical health, emotional wellbeing, and the importance of creating spaces for women to feel supported. Her passion for wellness has long been both personal and professional, guiding her work and ultimately inspiring her path into studio ownership. After experiencing a particularly difficult pregnancy, Tiana turned to Pilates during her postpartum recovery as a way to rebuild strength, reconnect with her body, and support her mental health, and is now looking to bring its meaningful impact to her community.

“Pilates played such a meaningful role in helping me regain my strength and confidence after pregnancy,” said Montgomery. “When I took my first JETSET class, I felt an immediate connection not just to the workout itself, but to how it supported both my physical and mental wellbeing. Opening this studio is incredibly personal for me. It allows me to take what has always been my chosen career, supporting women’s health, and extend it into something I am truly passionate about: creating a space where others can prioritize themselves.”

Originally from Chicago, where house music originated, Tiana felt an instant connection to JETSET’s music-forward atmosphere and high-energy experience. As a mother and lifelong advocate for women’s wellness, opening JETSET Pilates River Oaks represents a natural extension of her life’s work, transforming her professional dedication to women’s health into a passion project rooted in empowerment, community, and connection. For Tiana, creating this studio is not only about fitness, but about offering a welcoming environment where people can feel strong, supported, and inspired.

“Tiana embodies the heart of what JETSET Pilates stands for,” said Tamara Galinsky, Founder and Brand President of JETSET Pilates. “Her background in women’s healthcare, her personal wellness journey, and her desire to give back to her community make her an incredible franchise partner. We are proud to open our first Houston studio with her leading the way in River Oaks.”

The studio will feature 13 custom reformers, offering 50-minute, high-end classes combining strength, cardio, and Pilates-inspired movements set to DJ-curated music. Each class is designed to strengthen, lengthen, and energize both body and mind, reflecting the studio’s mission to blend premium fitness with a community-driven experience for all levels. The River Oaks location has already begun building meaningful community relationships and plans to continue hosting collaborative, wellness-focused events leading up to and following its opening.

Refined presale and pricing strategies
Enhanced member engagement initiatives

“As we enter Q2, we are focused on balancing rapid growth with a consistent, high-quality experience across every studio,” continued Albertse. “These efforts are designed to support strong studio ramp performance, deepen member engagement, and ensure we are building a brand that scales thoughtfully while maintaining quality, consistency, and strong unit economics as we expand into new and existing markets.”

Husband-and-wife team introducing a community-driven Reformer Pilates experience to the rapidly growing Bridgeland area

BRIDGELAND, Texas — JETSET Pilates, the fast-growing modern Reformer Pilates franchise offering premium, full-body workouts, is expanding to the Cypress area with a new studio opening in Bridgeland. Located at 20115 Bridgeland Creek Pkwy, the studio is owned and operated by Chance Montgomery, alongside his wife Holly Montgomery, who will serve as Co-Owner and Director of Community Marketing. Preview classes will begin on April 13, with regular classes starting April 26 and a full grand opening celebration planned for April 25 from 11 am – 1 pm, featuring local vendors, light bites and drinks, a DJ, access to discounted Founding Memberships, and exclusive JETSET swag.

Chance brings years of sales experience and more than a decade in the fitness world to his first business venture. A Houston-area local who has spent his life in Texas, Chance currently coaches CrossFit and has seen firsthand how group fitness builds strong communities, an experience that inspired him to bring the JETSET Pilates franchise to the rapidly growing Bridgeland area. The studio will be a family-owned business operated alongside his wife and partner, Holly, a fellow Texas native and former preschool director whose background in managing staff, supporting families and overseeing daily operations will be instrumental in creating a welcoming, community-focused environment. Their daughter, Laurel, will also play a role in the business, supporting the studio’s social media content.

“After spending years coaching group fitness and seeing how powerful that sense of community can be, I knew I wanted to bring something similar to Bridgeland,” said Chance. “We recognized an opportunity to introduce more boutique fitness options to the Cypress community, and we’re excited to create a space where people can challenge themselves, connect with others and build a strong fitness community.”

The 2,400-square-foot studio will feature 15 custom reformers, offering 50-minute, high-end classes combining strength, cardio, and Pilates-inspired movements set to DJ-curated music. Each class is designed to strengthen, lengthen, and energize both body and mind, reflecting the studio’s mission to blend premium fitness with a community-driven experience for all levels, appealing to a wide range of individuals from young professionals to busy parents looking for an efficient, full-body workout. The Bridgeland location has already begun building meaningful community relationships by hosting collaborative, wellness-focused events, and is seeing strong initial reception.

“The Montgomerys’ passion for building a community-driven studio makes them the perfect partners to bring the JETSET experience to Bridgeland,” said Tamara Galinsky, Founder and Brand President of JETSET Pilates. “With Holly’s people management background and Chance’s deep roots in fitness, I am confident their studio will become a welcoming destination where residents can build strength, connection and community.”
