2 NPCP CECs | On-Demand | Teacher: John Garey
A concise, practical overview of the IT Factor communication framework. This workshop focuses on two of the highest-impact skills: removing filler words and non-words, and eliminating repeat cues that lose their effectiveness over time.
You will leave with tools you can apply in your next class. If you want a taste of the IT Factor before committing to the full Guide or course, start here.

NPCP CECs | On-Demand | Teacher: John Garey
Every concept in The Pilates IT Factor Guide, taught on video. Work through the complete framework at your own pace — all five pillars — with full video instruction and workbook integration.
The Guide and the on-demand course are designed to go hand in hand. Each one stands completely on its own. Together, they are even more powerful. If you are a reader, start with the Guide. If you learn better by watching and listening, start with the course. If you want both, you will get more out of each one because of the other.
Live In-Person — Returning 2027Why In Person Still Matters
In 2025, I traveled to 25 cities across the United States teaching The Pilates IT Factor Foundations Workshop. The rooms were full. The energy was real. And the feedback confirmed what I already knew.
You cannot fully learn communication skills from a book or a screen alone. You need to practice in real time, with other teachers watching, with someone giving you immediate feedback on what they see and hear. You need to hear yourself. You need to adjust on the spot.
The live workshops create that environment. They are not lectures. They are practice sessions with a framework.

When in-person intensives return
The Foundations Workshop
The starting point. The full IT Factor framework — all five pillars — through instruction, demonstration, and guided practice. Appropriate for teachers at any level. No prerequisites.
The IT Factor Lab
This is where the rubber hits the road. Whether you have taken the Foundations Workshop, the Introductory Workshop, the full on-demand course, or completed the Book Club — the Lab is your next step.
This hands-on, in-person session with John puts all of your theory into practice. Watch John demonstrate each of the five archetypes live, then practice them yourself, getting real-time feedback from John and full support from the small group around you. These are intentionally small sessions to make sure you get the most out of every moment.
Any IT Factor course, workshop, or the Guide is required as a prerequisite.
