Body Hot Pilates, the heated studio concept founded by Lyndsey Meade, is opening a location at UTC Sarasota — with 50-minute classes conducted in rooms held between 95 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit and a format that pairs Pilates with strength training. The studio was announced through the brand's Instagram account; no confirmed opening date has been released.
The class format layers traditional Pilates movements with strength-focused equipment: weights, resistance bands, sliders, and magic circles. Per the operator's Instagram, sessions are structured around small class sizes and personalized instruction — a deliberate contrast to the larger-group reformer formats that have become standard in the Gulf Coast wellness market.
Meade, identified as the studio's founder through the brand's social account, appears to be leading the Sarasota launch directly. No additional locations or pre-opening programming details were included in the announcement.
UTC Sarasota, anchored by the University Town Center mall near the I-75 and University Parkway interchange, has drawn fitness and wellness operators over the past several years alongside its retail and dining tenants. No prior tenant has been identified for the Body Hot Pilates space. An opening timeline has not been confirmed as of this report.
