The Pilates IT Factor Book Club
Guided Implementation for Pilates Teachers Who Want to Teach With More Connection and Impact
The Pilates IT Factor Book Club is an eight week guided learning experience designed to help Pilates teachers apply the communication framework from The Pilates IT Factor Guide in real teaching environments.
This is not a casual book discussion group. It is a structured implementation series.
Led live by John Garey, author of The Pilates IT Factor Guide and creator of the Pilates IT Factor framework.
Over eight weeks, we will move through the modules of the Guide in order, using the companion workbook to support reflection, practice, and integration. Each session is designed to strengthen how you communicate, connect, and lead in every class.
What You Will Learn
The Pilates IT Factor is the teaching skill that changes everything else.
Inside the Book Club, you will develop practical mastery in:
Vocal Foundations
How you use rate of speech, volume, pitch, tone, and pausing to cue with clarity and confidence, while eliminating filler words and filler cues that can dilute or confuse your message.
The 5 Pilates Archetypes
How to identify your natural teaching style and expand it through five powerful archetypes you can draw on intentionally. You will learn what each archetype offers and how to bring them to life through your voice and body language to create the right experience for every class.
Body Language in Teaching
How posture, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and your position in the room shape what clients feel and how clearly they follow you.
Presence, Connection, and Enjoyment
How to regulate the energy you bring into the room, create classes where clients feel supported and capable, and build the kind of engaging experience that keeps people coming back to Pilates.
This is not theory. Each week, you will apply these skills through guided workbook prompts and real teaching practice so the IT Factor becomes part of how you teach.
