We're thrilled to share that The Pilates Class Agency experienced 42% growth in Q1 2025, and we believe it comes down to one fundamental principle: we focus on who fits where, not who trained where.
Breaking Down Industry Barriers
In a world where the Pilates community can sometimes feel divided over training methods and qualifications, we've taken a different approach. We're proud to be the only company in the UK that supports all industries and training backgrounds equally.
Whether you trained with Stott, BASI, APPI, HFE, London Pilates School, or any other accredited provider, we see your value. We've successfully placed teachers across diverse demographics and specialties because we understand that the fitness and wellness landscape is evolving – and there's room for everyone.
Understanding the Full Spectrum of Movement
We remain the database and recruitment agency that truly understands the difference between studios seeking Pilates methods grounded in the original classical approach and those embracing the new and emerging fitness reformer era. Both have their place. Both serve different communities. Both deserve quality instructors.
Our mission is simple: we care about reaching all people with movement that comes from a qualified and insured instructor, to give people the outcomes they want.
What Our Instructors Are Saying
The feedback we're receiving tells us we're on the right track. One of our instructors recently shared:
"I had a really positive experience with Pilates Class. Bethan was fantastic...knowledgeable, experienced, and she really understood the varied landscape of the fitness industry, which I appreciated as someone who's been in it for a long time. The whole process was professional, organised, and made onboarding feel stress-free and inclusive."
This kind of feedback reinforces why we do what we do – and why more instructors are choosing to join our network every week.
Supporting Studios with Vision
Our growth isn't just about instructors – it's about the studios we partner with. We're currently working with exciting studio clients across the UK, with expansion plans into the USA and EU on the horizon.
One of our most anticipated partnerships is with Rulo, a groundbreaking Padel and Pilates space launching in 2026 that represents the innovative fusion of wellness modalities we're seeing across the industry.
A Turnkey Solution, Not a Franchise
What sets us apart for studio owners is our turnkey approach without the franchise model. We give you all the structure and support you need to launch and run a successful space, while maintaining complete freedom to build your brand identity exactly as you envision it.
You're not locked into someone else's aesthetic or methodology – you get professional infrastructure with creative independence.
The Future of Inclusive Movement
As we move forward, our commitment remains unchanged: to bridge gaps in the Pilates and wellness community, celebrate diverse training backgrounds, and ensure that every person seeking movement has access to qualified, insured instruction that meets their unique needs.
We're not interested in picking sides in industry debates. We're interested in connection, quality, and accessibility.
That 42% growth in Q1? It's not just a number. It's a signal that the industry is ready for a more inclusive, collaborative approach. And we're just getting started.
