The ready-to-teach class library for Pilates instructors: 100 complete 60‑minute mat classes with the reps, the timing and the exact cue for every exercise, plus 300 illustrated exercises and a home class plan, so you never plan a class from scratch again and turn your living room into a little extra income, with no studio rent and no split.

โI feel like Iโm spending SO much time class planning and itโs honestly draining me.โ
โwe could definitely use a little extra money and I really want to have a fulfilling career that also provides decent income.โ
Look at what people pay for a mat class in the US and you'll find about $20 to $50 for a drop-in, and more at boutique studios. The instructor teaching it often takes home a flat $25 to $45 for the hour, however many people show up. In your living room, five spots at $20 is $100 for the same hour, and it stays with you.
โThe studio partnered with my training CHARGES clients $50 per 50 minute class which is also why it feels nuts that they pay me $28.โ
A Pilates instructor ยท on studio pay
Prices: typical US mat class drop-in rates and instructor pay per class, November 2026, from studio price pages and instructors' posts on Reddit. Ranges vary a lot by city. Room rent: our estimate. Home class prices are examples, not promises.
Every January, millions of people promise themselves they'll finally move more. They look for a class close to home, small and friendly, and the instructors who stay full are the ones who already have a spot open.
Enough time to pick your first classes, set up your living room, set your prices and fill your first 5 mats before the rush, with summer-ready season right behind it.
It's not a lack of skill. Building a balanced hour, week after week, wears anyone down. Open the library, pick a class, teach it as written. Warm-up, main block and cool-down, already in order.
Every exercise comes with its reps, its timing and the exact cue to say out loud, plus the easier and harder option. No more blanking in front of the room or repeating the same three cues.
At home there's no studio split and no room rent. A few mats, a speaker and some water cost you almost nothing a class. The price sheet shows you what to charge, so you never undersell your teaching.
$27 for the library and a living room, a garage or a backyard with space for 4 to 6 mats. No lease, no reformers, no new certification. Your first few clients pay for anything else you add.
January is the fastest start, and it's not the only one. People who like their class come back every week, and they bring a friend.

One evening. Read how a class page works, then pick 4 beginner classes, one for each of your first four weeks.
Clear space for 4 to 6 mats. Go through the home studio setup and the insurance and waiver checklist, and print the intake form.
The price sheet gives you your price per spot. Send the invite text to the people who already know you: friends, neighbors, school moms and your local Facebook group.
Open class 1, teach it as written, cue by cue. Then send the rebooking text that evening. Then fill next week's mats.
That's it. One week. And just like that, your living room is earning you a little extra income.
Every one of these has complete classes inside, and its own line on the price sheet for a little extra income.

Your training taught you the exercises. Almost nobody teaches you how to put an hour together. Here you see how every class in the library is built: the warm-up, the main block and the cool-down, and why each exercise comes where it does. Read it once, and every class page makes sense.

The classes that fill a living room. Each one lists every exercise with its reps, its timing and the cue to say, plus the easier option for the person who hasn't moved in years, so nobody feels lost in their first hour.

For the group that's been coming for months. More flow, more challenge and new exercises every week, so your regulars never feel the same class twice.

The props you can keep in a basket in the corner. These classes show you how to turn a band, a small ball or a bare wall into a whole new hour, with no machines and no studio.

The groups that book every week and never quit. Chair-supported options, gentle core and back-friendly flows, so you can say yes to the neighbor who's over 60 or has a cranky low back.

Your extra income starts here: the 30‑minute class for a Zoom group, the right option for every body, and what to charge, what to send and who to tell first to fill your mats at home: friends, neighbors, school moms and your local Facebook group.

What teaching sounds like when nobody hands you the plan.

โI converted my two car garage into a 400 square-foot studio with flooring, natural light and heat.โ

โI always fall back on the classical order when Iโm feeling stuck or if Iโm having a week where I just have no time.โ

โIt is nice for some extra cash, but you will spend a couple hours a week putting classes togetherโ
Pilates instructor ยท on the planning hoursReal words from Pilates instructors online, not from buyers of this method. Results vary.
No. This is a digital library: you get instant access to every class, exercise, card and template the moment you pay. Nothing is shipped, so there's no waiting and no shipping cost.
The library is made for certified Pilates instructors and instructors in training. It doesn't replace a certification. If you teach for pay, carry liability insurance and have every client sign a waiver: the Starter Plan includes the checklist.
Because knowing the exercises and building a fresh, balanced hour every week are two different jobs, and only one of them gets paid. The library does the planning part, so you can spend your time teaching.
There are, and that's the problem. You scroll for an hour, save ten reels and still don't have a class with a warm-up, a main block, a cool-down and the timing that fits 60 minutes. Here every class is already put together.
No. Every class is a written plan you can read in a couple of minutes, and every exercise has its own illustrated page. Keep it open on your phone or tablet, or print it.
It depends on your prices and how many classes you teach. If you keep about $100 a class, 2 classes a week works out to about $520โ1,300 a month. Private sessions pay more per hour. Results are not guaranteed and depend on your effort, prices, area and local rules.
People who already pay $20 to $50 for a drop-in at a studio, and would rather have a small class close to home, an instructor who knows their name and no crowded room. Home instructors in the US often charge from about $15 to $25 a spot. They aren't paying for the room. They're paying for a good hour.
No. Every class is on the mat, and the props classes use things you can keep in a basket: a band, a small ball, a magic circle, a wall and a sturdy chair.
That's exactly who the library is for. Start with Module 1, then teach the first beginner classes as written, cue by cue. Practice one on a friend before your first paying class.
People follow an instructor, not a building. A clean floor, good mats and a class that leaves them feeling great are what bring them back, and in a small group they get more of your attention than in a crowded studio.
You start with people who already know you: friends, neighbors, school moms and your local Facebook group. The plan gives you the exact texts to send, and your living room costs you nothing while it waits.
Word of mouth, neighbors, school and church moms, your local Facebook group and Nextdoor. The Home Class Starter Plan shows you where to start in the first 30 days.
The Modification Cards show the common options for pregnancy, over 50, low back, knee and shoulder. Anyone pregnant, injured or with a health condition should have her doctor's clearance first, and you should stay within your training.
That's the point. A class takes 60 minutes to teach and about 5 minutes to get ready, because the planning is already done. One class a week on a Saturday morning is enough to start.
Yes. Teach the classes as often as you like, at home, in a park, online or at a studio. The pages themselves are for you: sharing or reselling them isn't allowed.
Yes. Checkout is secure, everything arrives in your email the moment you pay, and you're covered for 7 days.
