October marks 12 years teaching fitness! 💪🏽 

There has been so much that has been learned during this time, and I just wanted to share my experience and lessons so far in this field. From starting with teaching Zumba, to kickboxing, strength, rowing, sculpt, yoga, and Pilates….I feel like I’ve got some good stuff for the instructors, new and seasoned. 

#dallasfitness #fitnessinstructors #fitnesslife

There are so many studios to pick where you take your talents, and time, to teach at. While there are many, not all of them are great, and not all are a fit for you. You get more than a paycheck at a studio: the connections, the ambiance, the relationships, and more. Do your due diligence in where you go and ask questions, get to know the staff and owner(s). It makes a difference in you staying for the long run or leaving quickly.

I feel very strongly about instructor pay. When I started teaching in 2014 at the UNT rec center I got paid $15 per class. They paid for my AFAA group exercise certification and I stayed until I graduated. Before getting more certifications and experience I stayed in the $20-35 per class range and I knew I had to “pay my dues” because over time that would increase. It’s 2026 and I have 3x more certifications, experience, and money spent on these things to be quoted $35-50+ per class. No one else is going to fight for what you’re worth- even if that means you pass on an offer. If you’re a newer instructor it’s a different story, but there needs to be differentiation in how studios pay with instructors, we are all NOT built the same.

Never stop taking classes, learning, asking questions, and doing continued education!! There will always be more to learn; perfection is hard to achieve but you can keep growing!

Remember why you enjoy teaching. I first started because I loved taking classes and staying active. It evolved into something more important and meaningful over the years into loving helping people stay healthy, get stronger, and have fun. What started as a side hustle is very much now a part of my career. When the burn out comes (and it will) remember your why.

Emphasis on try 🥲. This one is SO hard but everyone has a differen taken in Dallas, Texas by @dimensionsofwellness

“You’re only as young as your spine is flexible” 
-Joseph Pilates

It seems like sometimes we have lost the plot on why Pilates was invented and still practiced today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about evolving within fitness especially because our bodies now are not like how bodies were back then when Contrology was practiced. I appreciate the basic movements so much and they will always be challenging when done correctly. You don’t always need like 3 different pieces of equipment to ensure a good workout. Less is more sometimes when you’re deep into your Pilates practice & Mr. Pilates was in his bag with creating this amazing workout that is loved by so many. 🫶🏽
