We all know the exercises, the cueing, the anatomy. But there is something the best teachers have that no training program teaches. A presence. A way of connecting. A way of making every client feel like the class was made for them. That is the IT Factor.

John Garey teaches the full IT Factor system on video — nine modules covering everything from vocal foundations and body language to the five archetypes, class design, and presence. Watch the module. Complete the assignment in the workbook. Film yourself. Walk away a different teacher.

This workshop provides a concise overview of essential communication skills for Pilates instructors, focusing on how these skills impact clients, with a specific emphasis on removing filler and non-words, as well as repeat cues. Participants will leave with practical skills they can immediately apply to improve their teaching effectiveness, while also being encouraged to explore further learning opportunities through the Foundations and Comprehensive Workshops.

Pilates instructors prioritize clients' well-being but often neglect their own; this workshop aims to guide them in establishing routines and boundaries to maintain personal well-being while serving others.

This session explores the Pilates industry's acknowledgment of body discrimination, delving into the origins of personal biases and clients' self-perceptions, emphasizing the crucial need to overcome hidden biases and genuinely embrace and appreciate all bodies.

Working with new Reformer clients can be fun and also a little overwhelming.
