We invest in our instructors and expect our instructors to invest in us.
We prefer instructors with strong Classical or Personal Training foundations who:
- Are comfortable making thoughtful hands-on adjustments
- Can observe and respond to individual needs within group settings
- Are open to developing within our philosophy and approach
- Are flexible and open to teaching different class types (where aligned with skillset)
We host offsites, trainings, team events, continuing education, and ongoing mentorship. Many of our teachers have built long-term, meaningful careers here—we take pride in that.
Training Philosophy + Expectations
Not everyone does everything. We play to strengths, while also developing range and depth where appropriate.
We offer multiple teaching pathways to honor different strengths and styles. Instructors may teach in one track or across several, depending on training, ability, and passion:
- Classical-Informed Tower & Small Group Reformer
- Private Personal Training (we have a fully equipped Private Studio in Mar Vista)
OUR TEACHING ENVIRONMENT
We are warm, supportive, and welcoming.
We’re also serious about standards, consistency, and excellence.
Our most successful instructors:
- Are high-quality, intelligent movement educators
- Have strong understanding of body mechanics + anatomy
- Can teach with clarity, confidence, and precision
- Use hands-on and verbal cueing thoughtfully and professionally
- Balance structure + creativity, strength + safety
- Are engaged, welcoming, and relationship-driven
- Are collaborative teammates who believe in contributing to a community
- Are adaptable and curious — committed to growth and refinement
Who Thrives Here
Our clients trust us because they know every instructor here is thoughtful, highly trained, intelligent in their approach to movement, and deeply invested in helping people feel strong, capable, and cared for.
We believe the best classes aren’t just athletic—they are smart, biomechanically sound, emotionally supportive, energizing, and deeply human. Our instructors create experiences that feel almost like personal training inside a group environment: present, observant, and committed to individual needs while leading a powerful room.
We also understand the hustle of being a working instructor. We’ve built a supportive environment for our team, including a new dedicated break room in Mar Vista where instructors can recharge, connect, and breathe between classes.
If you love teaching, believe in continued development, and want to be part of a team—not just a schedule—we’d love to meet you.
At Speir, we are a professional, career home for PILATES instructors who care deeply about excellence, integrity, connection and THEIR craft.
