We had the good fortune of connecting with Tamara Galinsky and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tamara, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I moved to Miami from London in 2009 I was looking for a cool pilates studio, that would offer me a more intense version of traditional pilates. I could not find one so I opened my first location really for myself and my friends. When I started to see people drive to Miami Beach from Aventura to take our classes – I know I was on to something.

My mission was to create an immersive musically-inspired modern Pilates experience to encourage a more balanced lifestyle and a sense of community.

HOW I BEGAN:

When I had my first child while living in London, I struggled to get my body back in shape. I was looking for an exercise regimen that resonated but, more importantly, delivered fast results. Within nine months of discovering the magic of Pilates, I transformed my body. I was so surprised that I knew I needed to continue my Pilates journey when I moved to Miami in 2010. After trying multiple studios, I only found the traditional Pilates methods, but I craved more of a challenge.

MY VISION

My goal was to integrate everything I love, such as a place to focus on yourself, foster connections with other dynamic women and men, and get transformative results. That’s when I created JETSET Pilates. I wanted to combine the controlled movements of traditional Pilates with intentional choreography and seamless transitions. And I wanted it all in a 50-minute workout that would give you a unique and challenging experience. To do this, I made some changes to the reformer to incorporate this type of fitness regimen, and my modern Pilates was born.

MUSIC IS LIFE

Music speaks to my soul. I have studied it all my life. I believe that the right music inspires and energizes you both mentally and physically. When combining choreography with the right music, your body goes into a meditative state while you focus on yourself. I bring this energy to my pilates studios by incorporating a graceful sequence of movements with a curated playlist into every class.

THE JETSET PILATES COMMUNITY

When I created JETSET Pilates, I intended to build a community where clients could come to make authentic connections, have a focused mind, and energize their well-being. The strength of these communities grew organically and enabled JETSET Pilates to expand quickly in the subsequent years.

“The opportunity to provide an inspirational and accessible pilates workout filled with energetic music and positivity has been one of my most fulfilling accomplishments.”

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would start with the breakfast at Sadelle’s – not only do they have the best food, all of their restaurants have great music. A JETSET Class in our flagship studio in Sunset Harbor, followed by a walk on the beach. ZZ ( also of Carbone Group) is my go to place for dinners.
I love live music, so if there i concert in town – you would find me there whether its at the Miami Beach Bandshell, or Revolution Live, or FTX. Miami also hosts fun music festivals – like Art with Me on Key Biscayne in November, where Art meets Music and curated spiritual experiences.

Miami is the melting pot for the interesting and exciting people! I am lucky to say that my friends take center stage in that group – we host dinners, where some of our friends, who are DJ’s also play after. Music is not only important element of JETSET Pilates brand, but is important element of my life.

I love the book called Vivid Vision: by Cameron Herold. I also recognize that my 2 daughters, Anna and Nina, is a big reason that drives me as I want JETSET Pilates to be their legacy too.
