Pilates Instructor

Benefits:

• Club Membership Perks
• Flexible schedule
• Wellness resources

Solterra Wellness Club is hiring founding Pilates instructors to help launch our new integrated wellness club at The Galaxy at Polaris.

This is not a generic group fitness role. We are looking for instructors who combine strong technical Pilates knowledge with exceptional cueing, presence, energy, and the ability to create a polished, welcoming client experience.

Our Pilates program will include Reformer and Mat formats in a thoughtfully designed environment connecting movement with recovery, wellness, and healthy aging.

If you are an experienced instructor who cares deeply about the quality of the practice and the experience surrounding it, we would like to meet you.

What You’ll Do

• Lead safe, engaging Reformer and Mat Pilates classes for clients with varying levels of experience.
• Deliver precise instruction with strong attention to alignment, form, pacing, progression, and movement quality.
• Provide clear cueing and thoughtful modifications while maintaining the flow and integrity of each class.
• Create an environment where clients feel welcomed, challenged, supported, and known.
• Build authentic client relationships that support retention and studio growth.
• Deliver a consistent Solterra experience while bringing your own personality and teaching strengths to the room.
• Contribute to workshops, events, and launch programming.

Qualified instructors may also have opportunities to provide private Pilates sessions based on experience, certification, availability, and client demand.

What We’re Looking For

• Recognized Pilates certification such as Balanced Body, Merrithew/STOTT, BASI, Polestar, Romana’s, Peak, or equivalent.
• Demonstrated competency teaching Reformer Pilates.
• Strong understanding of Pilates principles, movement mechanics, alignment, and safe progression.
• Excellent cueing, coaching presence, and professional communication.
• Ability to modify and progress exercises for different experience levels and abilities.
• High standards for preparation, reliability, and client care.
• CPR/AED certification, or willingness to obtain prior to opening.
• Ability to commit to a consistent weekly teaching schedule.

Comprehensive Pilates training, Mat certification, private-session experience, additional apparatus training, and experience in boutique fitness or premium wellness environments are preferred.

Compensation & Perks

• $30–$45 per completed group class based on experience, certifications, and class format.
• Attendance-based bonus opportunities as classes fill.
• Private-session compensation paid separately when applicable.
• Discounts on Solterra services, retail, and café offerings.
• Opportunity to help shape Solterra’s Pilates program as a founding instructor.

This is an independent contractor (1099) position.

Schedule

Consistent recurring teaching opportunities are available. Early morning, evening, and weekend availability is strongly preferred, and peak-time availability is a major advantage. Onboarding and launch preparation will begin prior to opening.
