Coaching is $200/month which includes a week-by-week running plan uploaded into Final Surge that is tailored to your experience level, goals, and schedule/lifestyle. You’ll also receive unlimited email contact, and 1 20-minute call per month.

Before our running journey begins, we will have a 20-30 minute call to talk about your goals and assess compatibility. Contact me to schedule.

Cross-train with me via Pilates, and you will receive 10% off all your training, including Pilates packages (must do a minimum of 4 private sessions/month to maintain discount; if you do not do 4 sessions in a month and you have purchased a discounted package, you will be billed for the difference).

The Short Version:

When you hire an independent teacher, you invest in a teacher who has a sustainable schedule and has more energy for you, a teacher who makes more money per session and can invest in that pricey continuing education course that will level up your sessions, and a teacher who is financially and emotionally able to nurture other ambitions such as a creative career or parenting and therefore avoid burnout. A happy teacher is a good teacher.

The Long Version:

Under the traditional studio model, a teacher typically takes home 30-40% of the hourly rate you pay for their private, and they are paid as a W-2 employee. So if you pay $140 to the studio, the studio typically pays the teacher $42-$56 and the teacher pays income & SSI/MC tax on this entire amount, bringing that down to $31-$42, assuming ~25% tax rate. Studios do not typically provide any traditional employee benefits such as healthcare, continuing education stipends, paid time off, sick pay, transportation subsidies, or retirement account matching, so the teacher must use that $31-$42 to pay for their individual healthcare premium (on the low end, $700/month), required continuing education hours (~$100/hr), transportation, save to cover all unpaid leave, and contribute to a fully self-funded retirement plan. And because they are legally classified and paid as a W-2 employee, they are not able to deduct any of these essential expenses as business expenses. This works for people who are in the business part-time on top of another job or school, have a financially supportive partner/family, or are independently wealthy. It is not a sustainable way for an Average Jill to make a living and career.

When you pay an Independent Teacher, they typically spend 25-35% of your hourly rate on ‘direct’ costs like rent and credit card processing fees. So if you pay $140 to an Independent Teacher, they take home $91-$105. They still don’t receive any employee benefits, but because they are Independent (classified for tax purposes as a business, filing a Schedule-C or incorporated) they can pay use their business revenue to pay for their ‘indirect’ but essential business costs like their healthcare premium, continuing education hours, transportation, and contribute to their own retirement. Reductively, that means they can deduct all these essential expenses as business expenses, which means they do not pay taxes on any of these expenses and only pay tax on actual take-home income. Your teacher still won’t get rich teaching, but this makes it possible for your teacher to have a sustainable, long-term career without being an heiress or being married to one.

Every body is a Pilates body, and every body can benefit from Pilates.

Pilates teachers typically approach fitness holistically, with a focus on maintaining a mobile, healthy spine and strong, balanced torso musculature, including your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Pilates is an infinitely adaptable modality; It is an excellent low-impact modality for building stability and resiliency in joints and connective tissue and strengthening smaller “stabilizer” muscles. For this reason, it’s a popular exercise choice for people experiencing chronic back pain, recovering from an orthopedic injury or surgery, people living with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s, and pregnant people (with a physician’s approval). It is often used by physical therapists as a part of their work with patients, and physical therapists regularly refer patients to Pilates.

It’s also a great cross-training choice for busy athletes (just ask Lebron James) looking for a dedicated space to work on stability, flexibility, and address any minor aches, pains, and imbalances without adding too much additional physiological stress (that doesn’t mean it will feel easy!). Personally, I run 4x/week, Pilates 2-3x/week, and lift weights/strength train 2-3x/week, and I consider Pilates the foundation of all my movement work. And because of Pilates’ low-impact/low-stress nature, I’m able to maintain my Pilates practice during race training even as I get closer to race day and have to start cutting down my strength work so that I can up my running mileage.

Despite it’s feminine reputation, Pilates (he called it “Contrology”) was created by a man, Joseph Pilates, and the early development was done during his time interned in an all-male internment camp during World War 1. The method primarily focused on awareness and strength of the spine and torso musculature, and was initially used in the rehabilitation of injured male veterans.

Still not sure? Book a 15-minute call to discuss your needs and goals and whether Pilates is the right fit for you.

Please note that Pilates is not a substitute for medical care or treatment. If you’re unsure if you should begin or continue an exercise regimen, always consult a physician.
