[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Comprehensive training to be an instructor is like 500-600 hours and costs about $5000.00.
So the instructor needs to be compensated fairly.
The equipment is very expensive, especially commercial grade, not an Aero Pilates reformer from Sam’s.
They take up a lot of space, so that gets factored in to the cost of the class as well.
The separate probably fee helps ensure that the classes are full, people don’t sign up and not show.

Still a lot less expensive than a private session.

How much do the instructors make an hour for the group pilates classes like clubpilates?[/quote]

I don’t know about club pilates or gyms. But when I taught at a dmv studio it was a base rate - say $40, I don’t recall - with a sliding scale on top of that, depending on how many people were in the class.[/quote]

Club Pilates was the most reasonably priced studio I found. They also offer a govt discount.   As much as classes cost though it doesn’t translate to higher pay for instructors… i also sometimes take a class at District Pilates which is a small class. In either studio I don’t remember any hands on assists or guidance for me personally on form so I’m not sure what the purpose of 500 hours of instruction is for.[/quote]
