Pilates has broad appeal that has stood the test of time, so if you’re looking for a career change into a flexible but stable discipline, pilates checks all the boxes.
Here are just 3 reasons why pilates is an excellent career move:
Good potential for stable monthly income
One of the biggest fears people have is the jump from employee to self-employed. That’s why pilates is such a strong contender: many pilates clients are interested in long-term classes delivered by someone they value and trust. If you can be that someone, you’re likely to win multiple long-term pilates clients as you guide them on their journey to increased fitness and flexibility.
By getting qualified as a pilates instructor, you can gain the security of a regular monthly wage without being tied to the 9 to 5 – or your laptop.
A strong foundation to specialise
You can get qualified as a mat pilates instructor in just 4 weeks. From there, you could go on to qualify as a reformer pilates tutor. Reformer pilates is one of the fastest growing trends in fitness as it can be tailored to suit just about anyone, whatever their abilities or goals. After the initial investment in the reformer equipment, you can command higher class prices and enjoy high demand in an as-yet under-served market.
Support other income streams
Pilates classes are great to offer part-time alongside other income streams. It’s a smart way to diversify your offering and pairs well with solutions like skincare, haircare and makeup. If you already have some clients that buy skincare from you, you’re already halfway there!
