WEDNESDAY WISDOM ✨

Not every instructor is for every person.

And I actually think that’s one of the most beautiful things about fitness and wellness.

Some instructors walk into a room and light it up with huge energy. Others create an incredible experience with calm, thoughtful coaching. Some lead with athleticism. Some with precision. Some with music, humor, education, empathy or connection.

Different doesn’t mean better or worse.

It means different.

If you’re an instructor, you don’t need to become someone else to become better at what you do. Learn. Grow. Stay curious. Keep developing your craft. But don’t lose the qualities that make people connect with you.

And if you’re taking classes, give yourself permission to find the instructors and movement experiences that speak to you. The workout everyone else loves doesn’t have to be the workout you love.

There’s another piece of this that matters to me, too.

We can celebrate someone else’s talent without questioning our own.

We can recommend another instructor. Cheer for someone’s success. Learn from one another. Make space for new voices and different approaches.

Because wellness should never be about making ourselves bigger by making someone else smaller.

There is room for all of us.

And when we lead with confidence, compassion and community, everybody gets stronger. 🤍

😃Fooled around and created a program that helps instructors deliver real reformer results without a single reformer in the room.

“Fooled around” isn’t quite accurate. What actually happened was months of research and testing, making sure the program stayed true to real Pilates principles while still being safe and teachable in a group fitness setting with 20+ people moving together at once. But it was so much fun to create that it almost felt like fooling around.😄

Last night, 21 new Human Reformer instructors got certified virtually, logging in from cities and time zones all over the world. Every single one of them walked away equipped with the tools to feel confident teaching a well balanced, fun, safe, and effective Human Reformer Pilates class. 🙌🏼There is no better feeling in the world as a program creator.

That’s the whole point. Instructors don’t need a $5,000 reformer to teach real Pilates. They need the right education.

Upcoming @HumanReformer certification dates:
📍Aug 30 — Carmel, IN with @laura_witherington @incycleindy
📍Sep 13 — Hamden, CT with @tamifit @quwellness
📍Sep 20 — Philadelphia, PA with @pattiebwinn @penncampusrec
📍Sept 20 - Erie, CO with @espritdecorebarre @pearlcoreco
💻Oct 7 — Livestream with Lauren George
📍Oct 11 — Kernersville, NC with @ahealthymartini @kvfamilyymca
📍Nov 8— Las Vegas, NV with @murphmadden @unlvrebelrec
💻Dec 2 — Livestream with Lauren George

Current instructors, what do you love most about teaching Human Reformer?

Comment HECK YES and I’ll send you a free sample class so you can feel the difference yourself.

🚨 BIG NEWS 🗞️:
Human Reformer is making its *FESTIVAL DEBUT*… this weekend - Saturday, August 29 - at OhmFest 🦋✨

Thrilled to share that I’ll be returning to @ohmfest_yogaartmusicfestivalde for the third year running and leading two sessions:

🦋 Human Reformer Pilates from 12:30-1:30
and
🦋 Rolling with my Foamies from 3-4pm

This is the first time @humanreformer will be presented at a yoga festival (ANY yoga fest in the country, aaah!) and I absolutely cannot wait to bring this AMAZING format to the festival circuit. Y’all are going to LOVE ITTTTT! 💖

And of course, beyond excited to bring back my signature Rolling with my Foamies 🌀✨🫶

For both of these incredible formats, there are upcoming certifications and workshops too… so come get a taste of them this weekend and then see if you want more!

Tickets are still available!!!

PS can’t stop posting about @dollyparton and a few of her songs will definitely be on the playlists this weekend... even more than her music, her spirit of being kind, making people laugh, dreaming big, and living life to the fullest will be present.

“You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.”

So here we go 🦋
Better get to LIVIN’!
(Don’t forget to throw in a little forgivin’
and lovin’ on the way)

How about instead of the festival-wide meditation at the end of the day this year, let’s put the love and light and good energy out all day long through the ENTIRE festival 🙏

Hope to see you this weekend in Delaware!!

Here’s your Tuesday reminder to move in ways that make you feel GOOD. Strong, free, energized, happy — all of it counts. 💛

And somehow, dancing together makes it even better. ✨

Barre instructors: consider this your official warning label. 🚧

Side effects of teaching barre may include unstoppable confidence, a room full of people who trust you, and yes, perkier cupcakes (you know which cupcakes we mean 🍑).

If you want to bring that same energy into your own classes, you have 2 chances to get certified with me this month:

✔️ Barre Above Certification Livestream — August 17 & 18 with @murphmadden
✔️ Barre Above Pilates Focus — August 23 in Friendswood, TX

Both give you the choreography, the confidence, the blueprint, and the community to teach barre that actually gets results. No dance background required. Just show up ready to torch some cupcakes with us.

Link in bio to register. If you could put a warning label on your barre class or workout, what would it be? 👇 Billboard sign reading "Caution: Barre side effects include confidence and perkier cupcakes"

🛑STOP doing this if you want to grow your barre classes.

Too often, instructors overlook the power of simple, effective strength training within their barre programming—especially for the arms and legs.

This series of 8 moves strengthens the upper and lower body while challenging balance and core engagement… all with just a set of dumbbells.

Dumbbells might be the most underrated prop in barre—and one of the easiest ways to level up your class experience.

💬 What prop are you loving in your classes lately?

Want to feel how this all comes together in a full Barre Above workout? Comment “Intention” and I’ll send one your way. Upper and lower body focused barre combos using dumbbells and a barre.

🎶 Fitness instructors: you know it’s a good playlist when your class is singing Sweet Caroline louder than they’re counting reps….. or groaning! 🤣

That’s exactly the vibe of our new Pumped Up Strength Karaoke Party Progression Release. 🎤💪

These exercises take the base movements from Pumped Up Strength 52 and progress them with:
🔥 additional load
🔥 balance challenges
🔥 increased intensity
🔥 longer time under tension

So your students aren’t just moving… they’re actually experiencing progressive overload.

And because every progression is paired with karaoke favorites like, “Don’t Stop Believing,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” and “Baby Got Back,” don’t be surprised when your class suddenly finds extra energy when the chorus hits.

We all know when the music hits right…
It can make the whole class feel like a party!

💭Tell Me: What is your go to Karaoke song??

📢 Huge shoutout to @wendymariefitness for coming up with this theme idea!! Love you big sister! Fitness instructor demonstrates progressed strength training exercises from the Pumped Up Strength Karaoke Party release. These movements build on foundational exercises from Pumped Up Strength 52 by adding heavier load, balance challenges, increased intensity, and longer time under tension. The workout is designed for group fitness instructors who want to challenge their classes with smart progressions while keeping the atmosphere fun and engaging using a karaoke-themed playlist of popular sing-along songs.
