JETSET Pilates Expands Tampa Presence with Third Studio Opening in Carrollwood

JETSET Pilates has opened its third Tampa-area location in Carrollwood, owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Lauren and Patrick Christopher. The new studio at 10019 N Dale Mabry Hwy., Suite 100 expands the brand's footprint across Tampa and makes luxury Pilates more accessible to North Tampa residents. This opening represents a significant milestone in the Christophers' vision to build a citywide JETSET community where Pilates is welcoming to all fitness levels.

The Carrollwood studio joins the couple's existing locations in Downtown Tampa, which serves as the flagship, and South Tampa, which offers a retreat-like experience reminiscent of the Hamptons. Together, these three studios create a comprehensive network of premium fitness options across the Tampa area. The Christophers plan to open a total of eight JETSET Pilates studios across the region, including future locations in St. Petersburg and Sarasota, demonstrating ambitious growth plans for the boutique fitness franchise.

The grand opening celebration on October 4 from 11am to 1pm will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony, complimentary vendor market with local partners, and opportunities for guests to tour the 2,200 square foot facility. Visitors can experience JETSET Pilates' signature workouts firsthand and purchase limited-time Founding Memberships. The studio offers 50-minute, high-end classes on custom reformers that combine strength, cardio, and Pilates-inspired movements set to DJ-curated music.

Lauren Christopher expressed excitement about this expansion milestone, stating that opening their third Tampa-area location represents a dream realized. The Christophers, both Tampa natives with backgrounds in real estate, finance, and business operations, combine their professional expertise with a shared passion for health and wellness. Their local roots and community connections have been instrumental in their rapid growth throughout Tampa Bay.

Bertus Albertse, CEO and President of JETSET Pilates, praised the Christophers' energy, vision, and dedication to their community, noting they are ideal leaders to bring the brand to Carrollwood. The franchise, which began franchising in 2022 after its 2010 founding, has established itself as an attractive concept in the boutique fitness franchise business space. JETSET Pilates currently has plans to open studios across the U.S. and Australia, with over 200 studios in development according to information available at https://jetsetpilates.com/franchise/.

The Carrollwood opening signifies both local business growth and the expanding appeal of premium fitness franchises in suburban markets. By bringing luxury Pilates to North Tampa, the Christophers are making high-end fitness more geographically accessible while creating additional employment opportunities and supporting local vendor partnerships through events like their grand opening market.
