It's a step between attending a group class and receiving an individual personal training session. Depending on the location by running small group sessions, a pilates instructor's hourly rate is at least £30 per hour, which the participants can split between themselves.
The salary as a Pilates teacher really depends on how much you want to work and earn. According to payscale, Pilate Instructors can earn between £22k-£52k a year. As a Pilates instructor, you may only plan to teach one or two Pilates classes a week for a small income as something you enjoy part-time.
Alternatively, you could also choose to turn your passion for Pilates into a career by instructing a variety of Pilates sessions throughout the week. Whichever option you choose, you’ll see that teaching Pilates can provide you with plenty of opportunities to earn a decent Pilates Instructor salary or use this as a great source of additional income.
Even if you don’t have any specific requirements to become a Pilates instructor, your choice of certification matters a lot. Your qualifications will directly affect your career progression, direction, and how much you can earn. We at Future Fit offer leading Pilates Teacher Courses accredited by the main bodies.

One of the most lucrative ways to generate income is to teach group classes and charge participants individually. If you find a suitable hall (such as a church or village hall, community centre or dance studio) and hire the space for a reasonable rate, your income would be £50+ from a one-hour class. It’s the quality of teaching that participants are interested in, so limit your numbers. Participants don’t mind paying a little bit extra if they know the class won’t be overcrowded and they’ll receive your attention throughout the session.
