Not sure what to do when a client shares a diagnosis with you at the start of class?
Here’s the simple framework to stay calm, take action, and lead like a pro.
Summary:
Raphael and Natalie break down simple, actionable strategies for Pilates instructors when faced with unknown client conditions moments before class. Learn how to stay calm, ask the right questions, simplify your programming, and empower clients without overcomplicating.
Key Takeaways:
- Let go of being the “expert fixer”
- Ask: “When did it start?” and “How did it happen?”
- Teach simple, layered exercises (think In-N-Out Burger style)
- Focus on strength, range, and control — not diagnoses
- Treat clients like everyone else and let them self-regulate
- Do homework afterward using trusted sources, not random Googling
