Of course after I posted this, about 1000 other ones came to my head. Pilates instructors, what else did I miss? Or what do you wish someone had told you would happen once you started teaching?
I loved everything you said-and I have experienced everything thing you described about teaching Pilates, I am 73 yrs old and have been in the fitness business fir 40 years-starting with Jazzercise. I have been teach Pilates for the last 20 years and I love it. I work with clients from middle age to in their 90"s and I have seen amazing changes in their bodies, from strength, balance, flexibility, posture and attitude. It has been a blessing in my life.
You are dot on with all your points!! I've been in fitness forever and have been teaching Pilates only for the last 25 years. I'm still as enthusiastic as ever!
The Pilates Teaching High is so TRUE! 🌈✨ It's incredibly rewarding to connect with your clients and see how your classes help them to feel better, physically and emotionally 😀
I have always said that taking a Pilates class leaves you feeling like you took a thousand milligrams of Prozac! Glad to hear the instructors feel it too!
Screw the person who told you that. There is a million channels out there they can move on. You be you I’ve learned that’s the best way to draw the people that are right for you. From a fellow instructor ❤️
Thanks for this. I’m just over a year into my private lessons, and I love them. I love my instructor, and her friend who subs when my teacher is away on holiday or sick. I came to the idea earlier this year that I might continue my education and possibly teach, and my instructor was very supportive of the idea...a few months later she told me that I should teach (and not just because she knew it was something that I was thinking about). So that was reassuring that I am on the right path...just not ready yet for the teacher training as I am still learning things and progressing myself. My goal is for me to make someone feel as good as my teacher makes me feel. In all capacities. Physically, mentally, emotionally...I want to be her to someone else. Preferably to lots of someone elses. ;) I definitely have Pilates brain, and don’t shut up about it to people, and I’m buying more activewear than regular clothes these days.oh, and I voluntarily read Pilates Anatomy (can say that I did learn a lot more than I thought I would, however, a lot is still over my head). I even bought my own copy after I returned the one I read to the library. Turned out to be the second edition, so my teacher brought in her first edition (the edition the library had) and let me take it home to compare more thoroughly than the quick glance we did together. Ummm, so I spent a few hours comparing the two, side by side. Then I reread/skimmed through her copy to see what she had highlighted and made notes on. I kept my nerd badge after that. Lol.
You will absolutely LOVE going through training, it will deepen your personal practice so much and you will learn so much, even if you don't plan to teach right away! I've gone through two trainings and each time I have just been amazed at all the information and how much it has helped me both as a Pilates student and a teacher!
Margaret, nice video! Well done! I totally agree with your values and your concepts! I use a similar structure when I coach my students to become certified Pilates teachers under my 600-hour Comprehensive Pilates teacher training programme and run their own businesses. The formula I teach creates transformations over and over again. My clients come to be because they have had enough of overwhelm, not happy working for someone else, not managing to get by and living paycheck to paycheck. I offer them the possibility to gain a new skill in helping others, which not only gives them personal satisfaction but offers them a very healthy and profitable lifestyle. I'm loving what I do and I thank all my teachers for the skills I can pass on to these people! Sending you love and light!!!
I'd say at least 6 months to a year! I made a pretty in depth video on teaching training back in May that would be worth a watch! ruclips.net/video/bYEmZXEny0c/видео.html
Hi Margaret, I need your opinion on which pilates teaching training to go with. I am a fan of of the classical method. Where did you get your training from?
I initially did a training through the studio I was taking class at, which was a training specific to their style of teaching, and after about 2 years I did a 500 hour comprehensive training through The Lab, it was created by the women than own Pilates + Coffee and has a huge focus on not only the classical exercises and execution but also on actually being able to teach and create classes. It’s a PMA certified program, but any comprehensive program is good!! This one fit my needs best and the women leading it were teachers that I wanted to learn from! I think it’s more valuable to be trained by people you trust and that you look up to, instead of doing a program just to do it! Cost and convenience also play a factor.
so how much does a pilates instructor make? i know it really depends, but it would be good to know what is the cut for a group class? I am currently into my first 100 hours of teacher training. This is a question that I have always had.
I've been paid a couple of different ways - a flat rate per class, I started at $20 per class and after 3 years was up to $27 a class, I've also been paid a 60% cut per person for classes, and now I get paid $11 per person plus commission. So it really varies!!
I’m pt ..and there is upcoming basi course for pilates ..in my town, i have to choose either take mat pilates or mate with reformer in the same course for longer time please give me your advice?
It depends on what you want to do with it and your budget/time constraints!! If you want to teach reformer or use a reformer with pt clients I’d do both!
I got my first Pilates certification through my local studio, it was a training program specific to their method of teaching. And I then went on to do a 500 hour comprehensive program through The Lab, it’s a program that is certified through PMA!! There’s actually a lot more options than just the programs you typically hear of, take some time to do research and figure out what is going to be best for you!!

That is so amazing! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video - being able to teach others and see people grow and improve is definitely a huge blessing!
Just won a scholarship to do a full 500 hours Pilates certification!!! Soooo happy and jus found your page
That is so awesome!! Congratulations!
With Stott Pilates?

The Pilates Teaching High is so TRUE! 🌈✨ It's incredibly rewarding to connect with your clients and see how your classes help them to feel better, physically and emotionally 😀
There’s truly nothing better!!
I loved everything you said minus the waking up at 4 am
LOL
100% agree with the pilates teaching high!! There's no better feeling than connecting with people and helping them realize how strong they are 💗
Absolutely nothing better!
I have always said that taking a Pilates class leaves you feeling like you took a thousand milligrams of Prozac! Glad to hear the instructors feel it too!
Hahahahaha now I don’t know what taking Prozac feels like, but I’ll take your word that it’s the same high 😂😂😂
The parasympathetic nervous system gets activated I feel. It's really helped me to recover brain cells from trauma...
Screw the person who told you that. There is a million channels out there they can move on. You be you I’ve learned that’s the best way to draw the people that are right for you. From a fellow instructor ❤️
Love how your passion radiates from your aura! ❤❤❤❤

Feeling so overwhelmed by my studies and it has taken over my life its scary. The starting positions. The words. OMGGGGG
It's a lot & it is so easy to feel overwhelmed!! Keep practicing, things will come easier!!

Teaching my first class Sunday!
Yayy!! Congratulations!! You'll be great!
@@MargaretElizabethLLC just put together a great playlist so at least they’ll say I have great music.
Hi Helen, I see its been a year since that comment, how do you like teaching pilates overall? Do you find it rewarding? Have you stayed with it?
Good luck🎉 congratulations 🍾
I have taken pilates classes for only a *few months* now, but it is all I think about these days 😂
That’s good! It means you enjoy it!!
i just started teaching lagree and i agree with all of this- there’s no better feeling
Thank you for this video, it’s confirming my love for pilates and trying to go this route in my carrier. I was so excited watching this 🥰
Yayy! So happy that you liked it!!
Please talk a lot! Loving your videos, totally getting me through my work day!
You will have your favorite teachers: TRUE
Love this video, love your energy! I'm finishing my pilates training now and I hope to be as good as you are!
Thank you so much for your advice here very helpful!!
💯 agree with all you’ve said! Btw, your smile is contagious 😁
😊 thank you
Great video!!
Ones you become an instructor or is learning becoming one, you would look at every individual differently particularly on postural analysis…endless
Absolutely endless! I don’t look at anyone the same 😂
I like your style
Great 👍
Totally agree, Pilates consumes your life
It absolutely does, but in a good way!
So cute !!!!
Thanks!
How long do you think you should do Pilates before teaching? I don’t know anything about it but I’m very interested
I'd say at least 6 months to a year! I made a pretty in depth video on teaching training back in May that would be worth a watch! ruclips.net/video/bYEmZXEny0c/видео.html
HI! what camera and microphone do you recommend for teaching pilates clients online?
Thank you
I have a whole video about teaching online with all the equipment I use: ruclips.net/video/ycIeYHexOUU/видео.html

@@MargaretElizabethLLC Thank you so much, appreciate your help. Have you heard of CLUB PILATES?
@@notarypublic6915 Yes I have!
#neededthis
If the school you went to actually hires you after you graduate. Unless you have the funds to open your own.
so how much does a pilates instructor make? i know it really depends, but it would be good to know what is the cut for a group class? I am currently into my first 100 hours of teacher training. This is a question that I have always had.

Chat away honey, do whatever works for you. Script is a good one I do it all lol the thiiiiiymaa haha.
😘😘😘💯
Does Pilates make you leaner?
It definitely can!
@@MargaretElizabethLLC you didnt out the measurements of the legs! Did they get leaner
I’m pt ..and there is upcoming basi course for pilates ..in my town, i have to choose either take mat pilates or mate with reformer in the same course for longer time please give me your advice?
It depends on what you want to do with it and your budget/time constraints!! If you want to teach reformer or use a reformer with pt clients I’d do both!
Thank you for sharing! Can you say which program you chose? It looks like there are 7 main ones... cannot decide! Thanks:)

Why don’t you open up your own studio, you can make so much more money
