Hey there!
I'm Steph,
The mastermind behind Pilates HQ. I created this resource because I know that your training (like mine) might have left a few gaps in the skills needed to confidently and sustainably run awesome Reformer Pilates classes over the long haul. We're talking about gaps like knowing which exercises go together like ugg boots and pilates tights, how to adjust your class for all skill levels, and the secret sauce to not only leading fantastic classes but also nurturing a community that your clients absolutely adore.
If you find yourself burning the midnight oil, spending a whopping 4 hours planning a single 60-minute class, and feeling like you're on a solo mission to make this happen, then I need you to know that Pilates HQ is here to save the day.
We're talking more than 400 clusters on the Reformer and 100 clusters on the Mat, Tower & Chair. (that's more combos than you can shake a foam roller at), a nifty class planning crash course, and regular workshops on must-know topics like unlocking your inner Lesley Logan, creating heartfelt connections with your clients, and keeping them engaged and loving your classes. Plus, our community is the warm and fuzzy hug you've been looking for in an industry that sometimes feels like trying to fit into those tight Pilates pants after a holiday feast – a bit challenging!
Let's be real, this is the resource I would've killed for back in the day when I had my own studio. So, if you're ready to ditch the class-planning struggle and embrace the Pilates journey with open arms, scroll down and see what’s waiting for you.

“Steph is like a little pocket trainer. She’s always there when you need her. The exercise toolbox is so great to have in your pocket all the time so even on the go you can just watch a little cluster of hers and chuck it in your program.”

"...and literally 20 minutes to tweak a class? Golden…"
“The Pilates HQ App has really helped me to begin programming better, and literally 20 minutes to tweak a class? Golden… I think it’s really helping me to get a member base too. I have a little group of regulars forming and I adore them.”

"Having The App has given me the confidence..."
"Your videos are super helpful! Having The App has given me the confidence to put together my own sequences and adapt the exercises to the individual clients.”

...this has seriously saved me as a new instructor"
"My favourite thing has been how awesome it’s been in helping me with my class planning. My training did not equip me for writing practical, flow classes. Additionally, the spreadsheets have changed my life. It makes planning SO MUCH EASIER! So easy to keep track of what I’ve done where and then modify or reorder to teach again. This has seriously saved me as a new instructor starting my teaching.
