Bodybar vs JETSET Pilates
Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.
Before you compare
- Bodybar figures come from its 2026 FDD and JETSET Pilates figures from its 2025 FDD, so the years differ.
- Bodybar discloses more than one business format, so the investment range spans formats; the full report breaks them out.
- Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (Bodybar: 2, JETSET Pilates: 3). Different groups are not directly comparable.
