Taylor Spaw Core Pilates NYC! I started as a client, then went through the 600-hour certification, started teaching, and now Director of Programming & Education. Starting to evolve into more of an Operations role (which I love!)

I'm really interested in Momence, would love to hear anyone's experience with that platform.

Anything in particular that you're drawn to on Mariana Tek? It's on my radar....

Do any of your Pilates studios offer rentals for instructors? Our studio is known primarily as a teacher training (certification) studio, and offers its alumni (and studio instructors/faculty) the option to rent studio access by the hour to bring in/teach your own clients. 

IMO, the policy is a bit too lenient and inexpensive. I'm playing with the idea of an annual fee (in addition to rental fees) for anyone who wants to be able to rent. Or perhaps require a package of rentals?

There aren't many studios that offer this privilege around the city, so I think it needs to be handled more thoughtfully than it is now. 

Thanks!

Opening up a Pandora's box here... would love to hear what brands of equipment (ahem, apparatus) people are using.

I'm Classically trained, and most comfortable with Peak equipment, but have been disappointed with quality ever since the company was acquired.

As much as I respect the authenticity of Gratz, it's off-putting to most folks. But on the other end of the spectum, Balanced Body/Allegro is way too "Fisher-Price" for my taste.

One of my peers recently outfitted her studio with the Spanish brand Elina. She's very happy, I'm still feeling it out. 

Thanks in advance! ❤️

I'm exploring Momence right now! I haven't done enough market research yet to know if the fees are competitive/comparable to other platforms, but... I initially discovered Momence as a customer (my favorite yoga studios are using it), and loved the UX. I recently had a demo/trial... but still interested in hearing what other people are using.

I had a similar experience at another store... and I think it goes beyond the financial meaning. Once you're told that you're part of a "club," going backwards feels like a demotion. Rather than completely eliminating the program, it would have been smoother if Athleta had offered you something different in its place. (e.g. resources/webinars/meetups exclusively for trainers, etc.)
