- Grand opening features local vendors.
JETSET Pilates is expanding its presence in the Houston area with a new studio in Friendswood, Texas, owned by husband-and-wife franchisees Rachel and Cameron LeClaire. Located at 106 Whispering Pines Avenue, Suite 107, the 2,030-square-foot studio is scheduled to hold its grand opening on November 21, 2026. The launch marks the couple's second location with the brand, following their existing studio in League City.
The LeClaires bring different professional backgrounds to their franchise business. Rachel previously worked as a petroleum engineer and project manager in Houston, while Cameron built his career as a firefighter. As parents of two young children, they wanted to establish a business that reflected their shared interest in fitness while creating a lasting connection with their community. Their experience in League City provided a foundation for extending the concept to Friendswood.
The new studio will feature 14 custom reformers and offer 50-minute classes combining strength training, cardio, and Pilates-inspired movements set to DJ-curated music. The business expects to employ eight team members in addition to 13 instructors. Its programming is designed to accommodate a range of fitness levels, including young professionals and parents looking for structured, full-body workouts.
The November 21 grand-opening celebration will run from noon to 2 p.m. and include local vendors, a custom trucker hat station, and a permanent jewelry booth. The studio is also offering Founding Member packages with discounted rates, a tote bag, and partnership perks. Its membership structure gives customers access to recurring classes, making membership management an important part of the studio's business model. The Memberships and Subscriptions feature available through Gorilla Dash offers franchise operators tools for managing recurring customer relationships and subscription-based services.
JETSET Pilates Founder and Brand President Tamara Galinsky said the LeClaires' understanding of their community and complementary professional experience align with the brand's approach to franchising. The Friendswood opening adds another location to the company's Houston-area presence while extending the couple's investment in the local fitness market. For the LeClaires, the new studio represents both a second step in franchise ownership and an opportunity to build another community around Reformer Pilates.
