Sub Etiquette 101: Respecting Your Team, Your Clients, and Your Career
In this episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked world of Pilates sub etiquette—one of the biggest indicators of professionalism, teamwork, and long-term success as an instructor. Whether you’re brand new to teaching or a seasoned instructor refining your standards, this episode breaks down why subbing responsibly matters, how your habits affect your reputation, and the systems we’ve put in place at In Balance Pilates to keep things fair, supportive, and sustainable for everyone.
We’ll talk about giving proper notice, reducing spontaneous sub requests, building goodwill by helping your peers, and meeting studio expectations. If you want to grow as a reliable, respected Pilates instructor, this episode is a must-listen.
