US Fitness Giant JETSET Pilates Opens First London Studio
A Major Fitness Milestone for East London
Shoreditch has just welcomed JETSET Pilates, marking the arrival of one of America’s most talked-about fitness concepts to our doorstep. The Miami-born studio, founded in 2010 by Tamara Galinsky, has built an impressive global footprint with nearly 400 locations across the US and Australia, and now London is getting in on the action.
The Shoreditch location at 3 Nicholls Clarke Yard represents far more than just another fitness studio opening—it’s validation that East London continues to attract premium wellness brands seeking to establish themselves in the capital. For those of us in Hounslow, Whitton, Richmond, and surrounding areas, this expansion signals growing investment in accessible, high-quality fitness infrastructure across London.
The studio’s arrival follows years of reformer pilates becoming increasingly mainstream among fitness enthusiasts. JETSET’s signature 50-minute classes blend spring-based resistance training with carefully choreographed, music-driven sequences designed to build lean strength across the entire body. What sets them apart is their commitment to keeping class sizes intimate—just 15 reformers maximum—ensuring instructors can provide personalised attention and proper form corrections throughout.
What You Need to Know About the Classes
If you’re considering trying JETSET, here’s what awaits you. The flagship JETSETter class is their core offering—a dynamic, music-led 50-minute session that combines cardiovascular conditioning with targeted strength work using the reformer machine’s adjustable springs. It’s challenging but designed for all fitness levels, with modifications available throughout.
For newcomers, there’s a dedicated Fundamentals class that introduces you to the equipment and basic movements without the intensity. Specialised sessions also cater to specific goals: Upper + Core focuses on arms, shoulders, and midsection strength, while Lower + Core targets legs, glutes, and core stability.
The music-led format is intentional—instructors choreograph movements to beat-driven soundtracks, transforming what could feel clinical into an energetic, almost dance-like experience. It’s this combination of rigorous strength work and engaging atmosphere that’s created JETSET’s devoted following across America and Australia.
For East London residents and those travelling from Whitton or Richmond areas, the Shoreditch location puts a premium fitness experience within reach. Membership details and class schedules are available at jetsetpilates.co.uk, with more London studios planned as part of their UK expansion strategy.
What This Means for London’s Fitness Community
JETSET’s arrival represents a significant moment for London’s fitness landscape. The UK’s wellness industry continues to see investment from international operators, particularly in reformer pilates—a category that’s evolved from niche offering to mainstream fitness staple. This expansion creates employment opportunities for instructors, therapists, and support staff across the city.
For the broader community, increased competition in the fitness sector ultimately benefits users through expanded choice and, often, better value. If you’re in Hounslow, Whitton, or Richmond areas considering fitness options, JETSET’s presence in Shoreditch proves London’s fitness infrastructure is becoming increasingly diverse and accessible.
The studio’s commitment to hands-on instruction and small class sizes addresses a common complaint in the fitness industry—that classes have become too large for proper form coaching. This approach creates a more personalised experience, particularly valuable for those recovering from injury or new to reformer training.
As JETSET announces plans to expand further across London, watch this space for announcements about additional studio locations. The company’s founder, Tamara Galinsky, has personal ties to London that clearly motivate this expansion. For fitness enthusiasts curious about reformer pilates or looking to switch up their routine, now’s the time to check out what’s generating such devoted followings across two continents.
