Dear Prospective Pilates Corner Instructor,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to visit this site. It is my hope that you have precisely what I need in an instructor so that I can take this page down immediately and put you to work in the fun and rewarding position I have available.

So let me tell you about me, my company and the position.

My name is Emma Lovelock and I run a Boutique Pilates Studio called The Pilates Corner, in Baldock, Hertfordshire.

My business is dedicated to providing access to quality classes where everybody feels welcome and included, whatever their ability or experience.

BUT MORE PEOPLE NEED OUR HELP!

I’m looking to grow our team with a fun, enthusiastic, motivated, and personable individual.

We have two classes that are very different in style which may be suitable for one or two separate individuals to take on the role(s).

One is our Pilates Circuits Class - a HiiT formatted Pilates class, set at an Intermediate level, with room for the right instructor to add their own style and personality.

The other is a Mixed Level Pilates Class, available for all of our members to attend, which range from complete beginners to very experienced and strong within the same class.

All members begin their journey with an induction, which includes basic instruction on correctly executing fundamental moves and commonly used exercises, before entering into the group class environment.
If you are hired for this position, you’ll begin instructing members in the studio on a weekly basis in a regular time slot, and expected to be available to cover additional classes where needed along with a bank of other instructors.

My studio offers a modern and fun, calm and attractive environment. with many quality pieces of small equipment and the opportunity to be part of a successful growing studio.
You will be compensated fairly, treated fairly and I will certainly look for ways to pay you more for your efforts if they warrant it. I want someone who enjoys working with people and making a difference in the lives of others… because that’s what we do in my studio.

TASKS YOU'LL BE EXPECTED TO PERFORM

  • Deliver enjoyable group Pilates classes for a maximum of 12 participants with the flexibility to incorporate your training style and knowledge.
  • Get to know your clients strengths and limitations and adapt exercises accordingly for all class participants.
  • Offer a variety of exercises with the optional use of small equipment to enhance the class experience.
  • Demonstrate Proper Exercise Instruction: This is a big one. I need you to be able to provide proper coaching, instruction, and motivation during a class. You should have a working knowledge of the human body (i.e. muscles, movements, functions, etc) and be able to provide appropriate exercises for the members in class.
  • Our classes are all offered to our members as a hybrid set-up, you must be able to confidently and inclusively instruct both live members and those participating on Zoom simultaneously.

REQUIRED SKILLS
These are the skills you must already have in order to qualify for this position:

  • Mat-Based Pilates Education: A minimum Level 3 Mat-based Pilates Qualification.
  • Good Communication Skills: you will be talking with my members, who are VERY important to me. You must be comfortable conversing in-person and on the phone and know how to conduct yourself professionally, and deliver clear instructions to the clients. I’ll teach you everything you need to do during a class, but I can’t teach you manners and professionalism.
  • People skills and personality- must LOVE working with people! As mentioned above you must be very comfortable working with people. This is a fun and friendly studio and you must be able to show your members energy and enthusiasm while working with them.
  • Openness to adapting your teaching style to fit within our studio's framework of class delivery. Each of our instructors have their own personality to bring to a class, however the basic class structure needs to be consistent across our timetable, therefore the ability to adapt your class to match this is a must. Full training will be given for this. 

BONUS SKILLS

  • If you have these additional skills, your CV will go right to the top of the stack (but if you don’t have these skills, you should still apply because these are not mandatory).
  • Previous class teaching experience (fitness studio, health club, 1-2-1, etc.).
  • National Certification from Future Fit Training.
