In this week’s episode, I sit down with Jessica Spillane, a powerhouse entrepreneur from northern New Jersey who is the founder and visionary behind the Evolve Group which owns Evolve with Jessica, a global pilates teacher training platform that Jessica runs. On today's episode we talk about how so many of us have these pivotal moments in our careers where we need to take risks despite the comfort of our current situations and Jessica is no exception.
Jessica has been a pilates teacher and studio owner for 20 years, is a curriculum designer, entrepreneurial addict and self proclaimed “abnormally obsessed" pilates teacher. It is her mission to make Pilates Teacher Training accessible and achievable for more people while making it rewarding for the Studio Owners all over the world who host the trainings. Her ultimate goal is to grow the pilates industry without compromising the integrity of the method and the process of becoming a Teacher. In 2003, Jessica founded her beloved studio, Jumping Frog Pilates. She had no idea she would grow to be the largest exclusively Pilates studio in the Tri- State area. For thirteen years, prior to Covid, Jessica ran EYT Pilates Teacher Training which lived as a fully in-person, classical comprehensive teacher training program. EYT was synonymous with Pilates teacher training in the New York Tri-State area. Big box gyms, community centers, and boutique studios engaged EYT to train their staff and consult on business models and studio organization. Since Covid, Jessica’s reputation has gained international recognition and has found her Pilates Teacher Training program to expand across 4 Continents, over 10 Countries and through multiple cities in 15 US States.
