Wellesley business buzz: Jetset Pilates to hold grand opening; Plus, changes on Church Street

June 26, 2025 by Bob Brown

The latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:

Jetset Pilates to hold grand opening

JetsetJetset Pilates, the new fitness outfit at 98 Central St., is having a grand opening party on June 28, 4-7pm. Food, drinks & fun are promised.

Jetset has been making its presence known at various events in town, including Wellesley’s Wonderful Weekend, but this is the business’s official grand opening.

The business began offering classes on June 23.

The 2,000-square-foot studio is owned by John Onat, who lives in Needham and has designs on opening a couple more studios in the Boston area. He is the first Jetset franchisee in the state.

Jetset offers 50-minute classes that combine strength training, cardio, and Pilates-inspired movements set to music. Founding memberships at the Wellesley location are available for $199 per month.

Pure Glow has pulled up stakes and now lives on The Street

Pure Glow , the beauty business that has kept Wellesley looking sun-kissed since 2020, has left Church Square. A sign on the airbrush tanning studio’s door says they’ve moved to Chestnut Hill in Newton, at The Street shopping area, on the Rt. 9, eastbound side.

No need to resign yourself to a lifetime of pastiness. BlushTan in Wellesley Square, opened since 2011, has you covered. And just beyond Wellesley, Jesamondo at 154 E. Central St. in Natick, does spray tanning.


Looks like Sara Campbell is on the move

On a walk in the Church Square area, we noticed a sign lounging about in a reclining position in the 8 Church Square window. We’d heard rumors that a clothing store would soon relocate from Linden Square to somewhere in Wellesley. Looks like we’ve found the “somewhere.”

We thought the Sara Campbell Spring Sidewalk Sale in May had particularly great discounts.

8 Church Square was most recently home to Papa Wheelies, an employee-owned business which helped Wellesley cyclists find their perfect ride for a couple years, before closing in late 2024. Their Portsmouth, NH location remains open.

Before that, Lyn Evans helped women dress their best for 30 years, before closing in 2017.
