This is your studio away from the studio.

Teaching Notes

Your Class-Planning Secret Weapon

Our Teaching Notes are designed to make your life as an instructor easier, more inspired, and better organized. Each set includes the workout description with level, props used, and overall intensity, so you know exactly what to expect. You’ll also find a clean, easy-to-follow table that breaks down the full class flow—complete with exercise order, recommended resistance, brief setup cues, teaching notes, and suggested reps. And the best part? Every exercise is paired with a thumbnail image, because a picture truly is worth a thousand words.

Teaching Notes are available for almost every workout, listed as “Resources” directly below the video. Whether you're looking for inspiration, fine-tuning your programming, or simply short on prep time, our Teaching Notes are here to support you—class after class.

The Mat and Reformer Encyclopedias

Go Deeper into Every Move

Our Mat and Reformer Encyclopedias are designed to give instructors the confidence and context to teach with skill and purpose. Each exercise includes five focused chapters: Proper Form and Execution, Anatomy and Biomechanics, Regressions, Progressions, and Programming Tips. These in-depth breakdowns are perfect for those in instructor training and equally valuable as a teaching refresher for experienced pros.

Every entry comes with detailed notes and thumbnail images for each chapter, making it easy to follow and visually reference as you learn. You’ll also get John’s personal teaching insights, including favorite regressions and progressions from years of experience, plus smart tips on where and how to program each exercise within a full class flow.

It’s more than an exercise library—it’s a masterclass at your fingertips.

Teaching Tips

Fast, Focused Learning for Instructors

Our Teaching Tips video series is a growing library of over 80 one-minute learning tools created to help you teach with more clarity, creativity, and confidence. Divided into three focused sections, these short videos are designed to deliver big insights fast.

Quick to watch. Easy to apply. Made to elevate your teaching, one tip at a time.

Working with New Clients

Tools to Build Confidence from Day One

Helping someone feel comfortable and successful in their first class is one of the most important—and rewarding—parts of teaching. This section gives you everything you need to support new clients with clarity and confidence. You'll find movement tutorials that break down foundational exercises, videos on how to teach group Reformer orientation classes, and sample classes specifically designed for first-timers.

You’ll also get guidance on how to help clients transition from beginner to intermediate, as well as practical tutorials on equipment setup—so both you and your clients can walk into the studio feeling prepared.

Because a strong start builds lifelong clients—and great instructors know how to lead the way.
