Since I have been back in the states I realize how important it is to carry business cards at all times. In Turks and Caicos it wasn’t as crucial, since people weren’t used to accruing paper. And I don’t even think anyone printed plastic business cards on island, so you never saw one of those….

Why Poolates Is NOT Pilates
Today I sat with one of my Pilates cohorts at Real Pilates and our GM and learned how to do metabolic testing with a Body Gem device. We have a registered dietician on staff who can then help people tweak their diets to gain or lose weight, and of course have wonderful resistance exercise in…
Your Pilates Studio: The Bathroom
When you open a Pilates studio you tend to worry most about flooring, shelving, equipment, mirrors, and storage before even thinking about the bathroom, but the bathroom is really what clients will scrutinize. Really, they are sitting there for a while, possibly changing in there, and they need those white bedroom vanity sets to be…
Your Pilates Business: Inventory
As a Pilates studio owner you may feel as though inventory is not that important, especially if you do not carry an retail sale items. But it is just as important to track your Pilates equipment, including small items like bands, hand weights, and pillows, rings, and other small props. This is where inventory labels…
Where to Go? What to Do?
I find myself in a very strange position (not physically, but metaphysically) in my Pilates career, with my starting over in NYC. I have a great job in a wonderful Pilates studio where I am not getting as booked as I need to be. I also have some awesome private clients, but they travel a…
Sales and Coupons
Every single Saturday my parents and I would head down to the corner newsstand/candy store/soda fountain to pick up the early Sunday Daily News for the Funnies and the Coupons. I was raised to look for discounts and sales, and rely heavily on coupons and sale circulars to plan my shopping. All of this was…
Proper Pilates Outfits
I have seen all kinds of interesting outfits in a Pilates studio that should NOT have been there. Seriously – jeans with keys and studs, big belts that stick into your stomach, bikinis, large long shorts, but never (luckily) a prom dress. Basically, you want to stay covered and not have anything on that will…
What Is Real Pilates?
I often feel like I have strayed very far afield from teaching “Classical” Pilates. I rarely teach the traditional order of the exercises (although I do always follow it loosely as it makes sense and I know it in my bones), I incorporate other modalities such as traditional bodyweight exercises like push ups, planks, squats,…
No Jewelry in the Pilates Studio
I love jewelry as much as the next woman, and I rarely take off my wedding and engagement rings. However, I have been through enough experiences of clients misplacing their diamond rings in the Pilates studio that I generally counsel people to take all their jewelry off. Generally rings will be uncomfortable and can even…
