Waitlist Open — Dates to Be AnnouncedThe Pilates IT Factor
Book Club
An eight-week guided implementation series for Pilates teachers who want the IT Factor to live in their teaching, not just in their reading.
This is not a casual book discussion group. It is a structured implementation series.
What the Book Club IsEight Weeks. Live Sessions. Real Practice.
Led live by John Garey, author of The Pilates IT Factor Guide and creator of the IT Factor framework.
Over eight weeks, we move through the modules of the Guide in order, using the companion workbook to support reflection, practice, and integration. Each session is designed to strengthen how you communicate, connect, and lead in every class.
The cohort is capped at 50 teachers. That is intentional. When I ran the live workshops, the most valuable moments were not the content delivery. They were the conversations between teachers working through the same challenges. The Book Club is designed to create those moments, online, over the course of the series.

What You Will LearnFive Areas of Practical Mastery
Each area is practical, trainable, and immediately applicable in the studio.
The 5 Pilates Teacher Archetypes™
The heart and soul of the program. How to identify your natural teaching style and expand it through five archetypes you can draw on with intention. You will learn what each archetype offers and how to bring them to life through your voice and body language. You do not lose your personality. You gain the ability to choose how you show up.
Vocal Foundations
Rate of speech, volume, pitch, tone, and pausing — plus eliminating filler words and repeat cues that dilute your message.
The Physicality
Posture, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and positioning. How to match your physical presence to your verbal message.
The Science
The role of hormones and the vagus nerve in how clients experience your class. The science makes every other tool more effective.
Presence & Energy
The secret sauce. This is where we discover the power of your "why" — the reason you teach — and how to use it as fuel for every class. You will develop rituals that help you bring your best self into every session, so that your energy, intention, and presence are working for you before you say a single word.

"The teaching skill that will change everything starts here."
Plan for about 20 to 40 minutes of practice between sessions — applying one or two tools in your actual classes. The goal is steady integration, not overwhelm.
