JETSET Pilates has proposed opening a new studio in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood at 4071 18th Street, a former pharmacy space that has been vacant since 2020. Franchisee owner Chitra Rajasekar told WhatNow the opening is planned for October.
The approximately 2,110-square-foot storefront was previously occupied by AHF Pharmacy. Rajasekar, who also owns the franchise planned for 1868 Lombard Street in San Francisco’s Marina District, confirmed that construction is expected to begin soon. The opening timeline for this location is expected for January 2027.
JETSET Pilates was founded by Tamara Galinsky in 2010 and has expanded through a franchise model. The company had more than 80 studios worldwide and had surpassed 400 sold franchise locations in July.
The company is targeting 150 open locations by the end of 2026. According to JETSET Pilates, its classes focus on precision, flow, and full-body conditioning. Sessions are instructor-led and use reformer equipment, with the company describing its standard class as a 50-minute workout incorporating choreography and music. The program is designed to combine strength, flexibility, and endurance.
