ABOUT US:

Body By Bliss is not your typical Pilates studio.

We keep group sessions small, intentional, and personal—no crammed classes or cookie-cutter workouts. With a focus on individual goals and bodies, we’ve built a close-knit community where every client feels seen, supported, and inspired.

We aren’t just another big-box studio hoping to hop on the Pilates bandwagon.

We take the time to get to know each and every client–from names and faces to unique health histories, bodies, and goals. Every session at our studio is tailored to the people who attend it, and our small groups cap at six to ensure that our instructors can provide the personalized attention that each individual deserves.

We’re more than a Pilates studio. We’re a tight-knit, welcoming community of clients and professionals working together under one belief: that exercise is medicine.

WHY US?

We are client-focused, intimate, and holistic. We want to be what Pilates should be, what it was designed to be at its heart and roots. As such, we’re not looking for a drill sergeant or exercise coach, but an instructor who shares our passion for holistic wellness, personalized coaching, and client-focused practice.

If that sounds like you, here’s what else you might like about working with us:

CLIENTELE: We provide clients! We have more client demand than instructor availability, so you can hit the ground running–well, teaching–right from day one. If you have your own client base as well, great! The more the merrier. But it’s not necessary for a successful career with us.

FLEXIBILITY: We offer flexible, full- or part- time scheduling. Our studio runs from about 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, so whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, you should be able to find time that fits your preferred work hours. We’re also open weekends and hoping to expand our hours!

SMALL GROUP & ONE-ON-ONE FOCUS: As we said, we’re focused on our clients. Which means you’ll never be shouting instructions to a half-focused crowd of sleepy exercisers. Instead, you’ll be instructing groups of no more than six and as few as one with the goal of making each session personal and impactful.

SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT: Our studio isn’t so much a team as a family, and as such, we all work together to support each other. We value collaboration over competition and encourage everyone to bring their own energy, ideas, and unique style to the party.

CLIENT LOYALTY: There’s a reason our clients keep coming back session after session, season after season, and year after year–even the traveling ones! We’ve had clients from across the country insist on working with us even during our busiest times because they know we’re the best at what we do (not to sound contrived again–their words, not ours!)

LOCATION: Teach Pilates by the Sea in Stonington, CT 06378 USA. Where work feels like a coastal getaway, nestled on a scenic peninsula with historic charm, sandy beaches, world-class seafood, and a vibrant arts and wine scene. Located within the historic Velvet Mill, which is home to an artisan mall and farmers markets.

COMPENSATION: Instructor compensation is commission per service provided. Commission rates are based on experience levels and range from 30% (apprentices) to 50% (senior instructors).

HOW TO APPLY:

If you're passionate about Pilates and ready to join a team that values creativity, professionalism, and community, we’d love to hear from you!

Please submit your resume, certification, and a brief cover letter telling us why you’re the perfect fit for our studio to studiomanager@bodybyblisspilates.com. We can’t wait to meet you!
