Designed to Deliver: Smarter Class Planning
“Your class schedule is one of the most important business decisions you make,” says Korin, founder of Power Pilates UK. “It influences everything—your client retention, your instructors’ motivation, and your brand identity.”
At Power Pilates UK, classes aren’t just creative—they’re carefully constructed. Formats are selected with purpose, levels are balanced strategically, and every session is designed to align with the studio’s values: strong form, smart progressions, and an empowering atmosphere.
Rather than chasing trends, Korin focuses on what truly serves her clients and community. Behind the scenes, planning those classes—week in and week out—requires time, intention, and a whole lot of mental energy.
The Role of the Class Plan App
That’s where the Class Plan app comes in—a new digital tool changing how instructors around the world plan, organise, and deliver their sessions.
“As teachers, we all run dry on ideas sometimes,” says Korin. “We get stuck in creative ruts, or scribble things down and then can’t remember what they meant later.”
The Class Plan app solves this in a refreshingly practical way. With over 4,000 exercises and an advanced filter system, instructors can search by prop, level, body position, or target area to create customised, goal-driven class plans. Each plan can be saved, reused, and refined—all within the app.
“You don’t have to rely on memory anymore,” Korin says. “Each move has a video demo, and you can tick off exercises as you teach. It’s clear, efficient, and professional.
That clarity matters. Especially when classes involve variations or creative progressions that don’t have formal names. Instead of relying on vague notes or fragmented ideas, instructors now have a visual, repeatable plan they can trust,” Korin explained.
When Planning Builds Community
“The app doesn’t just streamline the planning process—it also fosters connection. Instructors can share their own plans, follow other teachers, and access weekly Ready-Made Class Plans created by experienced educators,” said Korin.
“For a profession that can often feel isolating, the in-app forum and community features offer a new kind of peer support—one that’s global, collaborative, and rooted in a shared desire to keep evolving.”
Matching Teachers to Class Types
For Korin, intentional class planning isn’t just about programming—it’s about people.
“We don’t just assign instructors randomly,” she says. “We think about their strengths, their teaching style, and what class format brings out their best.”
This kind of thoughtful alignment leads to better classes, more engaged clients, and happier teachers. And when new instructors join the team, they undergo in-house training to ensure they can deliver the Power Pilates UK experience—no matter their background.
A Studio Schedule That Works
Korin’s approach is both strategic and responsive. She regularly reviews client feedback and attendance data to make informed decisions about what stays, what evolves, and what gets phased out.
“Not every class format works—and that’s okay,” she says. “The key is to spot patterns, listen to what your clients are telling you, and stay aligned with your studio values.
Tools like the Class Plan app have made this process easier, providing both flexibility and structure. The result? A studio timetable that in my view supports instructors, engages clients, and delivers consistent, high-quality classes,” said Korin.
A Final Word
“Whether you’re running a studio or teaching independently, class planning is more than a creative task—it’s a professional responsibility. With the right mindset and the right tools, it becomes a powerful strategy for business growth and long-term success. When you meet people where they are, challenge them in the right way, and empower your instructors to do the same—everything else falls into place.”
