The Pilates HQ App
Where Community, Creativity, and Confidence Thrive
The Pilates HQ App lets you focus on what you want to do best – confidently deliver engaging classes and create a community your clients can’t resist coming back to. Because, let's face it, they feel like they're part of the best damn Pilates crew in town.
“The support and information you provide has been invaluable for my teaching and confidence in pilates instruction and is the most practical, applicable and enjoyable that I have done. I feel most grateful & blessed that I found you."
- Ryanin
While your training covered the foundations of teaching pilates...the real-world challenges of managing a class full of unique individuals?
That's a whole different ballgame.
Right now you probably feel like…
You're getting so caught up in having the perfect class plan,that flows just right, with the perfect exercises and technique that you're losing the enjoyment in your classes (and so are your clients!)
You want to keep it fresh for yourself (and your clients) which means you’re always trying to reinvent the wheel and that takes precious time.
And your confidence? Well, it can be a bit wobbly at times and you think your clients pick up on it too, and then it’s kind of a vicious circle 😢
But the best Pilates teachers are
head-over-heels in love with Pilates!
They eat, sleep, and breathe Pilates allowing them to tailor sessions with precision.. Their enthusiasm is contagious and inspires their clients to fall in love with the practice.
Not only that but they are masters of communication. They can explain the trickiest exercises with ease, making clients think they were born on the reformer, whether they’re a total newbie or a Pilates pro.
And, they understand the power of community. They're never late, always organised, and as trustworthy as your favorite Pilates tights, plus they create a warm, fuzzy sense of belonging that keeps clients coming back for more.
You can do this too!
Let Me Guess...
You’re tired of hours down the drain scrolling picture-perfect Insta and YouTube to brainstorm class ideas that just don’t flow and then getting stuck in a reels rabbit-hole (we’ve all been there)
Maybe you’re a reformer rockstar but when it comes to getting all the moving pieces to come together - the exercises, the vibe - to confidently create a warm, welcoming class environment …well the struggle is as real as performing a Snake and Twist (don't even ask me to lift an arm)
You’re sick of the never-ending cycle of self-doubt. The constant back-and-forth of planning a class, only to question it a gazillion times.
Here's the thing...
Your journey as an instructor extends far beyond knowing the exercises. It's about creating a community, the magic happens when you connect with your clients on a personal level.
Are you ready?
Here at Pilates HQ we know that your training (like ours) might have left a few gaps in the skills needed to confidently and sustainably run awesome 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.
Are you ready to cut your class planning time by 75%?
You could spend more time on your own practice, more time honing your cueing, heck - more time eating popcorn with your feet up bingeing Ozark.
Imagine feeling so confident walking into class, warmly greeting each person by name, knowing they’ve been looking forward to your session for days, that this is THEIR self-care space and you get to help them feel healthier, stronger and more energised.
And when new people join your class, knowing exactly how to welcome them and put them at ease, even if it’s their first time using the equipment, so you know they’ll be returning next week, without a doubt.
Wouldn’t that feel AMAZING?
Let's be real, this is the resource we at Pilates HQ would've killed for back in the day when we were teaching 24+ classes a week.
We're talking 300 clusters for the reformer (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 heart-felt 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!
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.
Get ready to supercharge your Pilates class planning with The Pilates HQ App.
It’s your ultimate BFF for all things Pilates.

"...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.”

"The Pilates App is so great to have in your pocket all the time..."
"Steph is like a little pocket trainer. She’s always there when you need her. The Pilates HQ App 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."

Would you rather...
Go it alone, trying to be a one-person show, and burning out from the stress of it all because you’re spending endless hours juggling planners, sticky notes, and random scraps of paper, hoping you'll stumble upon class ideas magically.
Dive deep into the endless abyss of YouTube videos, hoping to find inspiration while wasting precious hours on cat videos and unrelated content.
Throw random exercises together, crossing your fingers that it works, or even show up to class with no plan and just 'wing it', leaving your clients feeling like they're on a wild rollercoaster ride
You COULD go through all that …

About Steph
Hey there, I'm Steph Neal, 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 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.
My love for Pilates has driven me to create a thriving space for both instructors and enthusiasts alike.
It started out from humble beginnings with mat classes in my local town hall, then to a home studio, and eventually opening a fully-fledged studio on the main street. After five fulfilling years, I sold the studio and followed my heart to the beach, where I now focus on Pilates HQ and The Pilates HQ App. A resource I wish I had access to when I was starting out as a Pilates Instructor.
Through The Pilates HQ App & Community, I help both new and seasoned instructors to confidently teach All Levels Reformer Classes that their clients can't wait to come back to.
I'm not just a Pilates enthusiast; I'm a lover of life outside the studio. Spending time with my husband, Bayden, and our doggos, Duke and Bobbi, is what lights me up. You'll often catch me laughing too loud, singing out of tune, binge-watching Netflix, trying to learn how to surf, and of course, rocking Pilates tights and ugg boots – it's a lifestyle!
What you see is what you get with me! I believe in honesty and integrity and in building relationships, a community, and a business with heart and personality!
My goal is simple: to help you lead a happy, fulfilling life, doing what you love while surrounded by people who inspire and support you.
Come join me and meet our community inside The Pilates HQ App
