About Us
Hi, I’m George Watts—Pilates instructor, yoga teacher, and professional goofy grinner based in the wilds of West Wales, UK (where sheep outnumber people, and WiFi is occasionally powered by sheep).
That’s me over there with the cheeky smile, probably thinking about my next Pilates sequence… or my next Pilates Card Deck creation.
How It All Started…
Way back in 2015 (a few thousand less grey hairs ago), my wondrous team and I built something I desperately needed: the Online Pilates Lesson Planner. I originally created it because, like most instructors, I was spending way too much time cobbling together pilates lesson plans. Why reinvent the wheel every week when you could click, drag, drop… and boom, class planned?
Fast forward a few years, and the planner’s become a bit of a beast—in a good way. It’s endorsed by The Pilates Foundation, constantly updated, and packed to the brim with 3,000+ Pilates exercises, neatly categorised for your convenience (see 16 categories below):
- Arc Exercises
- Cadillac Exercises
- Chair Pilates Exercises
- Dumbbell Exercises
- Foam Roller Exercises
- Jump Board Reformer Exercises
- Magic Circle Exercises
- Matwork Pilates Exercises
- Miniball Exercises
- Reformer Exercises
- Resistant Band Exercises
- Springboard Exercises
- Swiss Ball Exercises
- TRX Exercises
- Wobble Cushion Exercises
- Wunda Chair Exercises
You can search by exercise type, anatomy focus, therapy application, chakra, or even props. I went full nerd mode and gave you 83 ways to search, because who doesn’t love options?
But Wait, There’s More…
Alongside the lesson planner, I’ve also whipped up a collection of Pilates Exercise Card Decks—designed to make teaching (and learning) Pilates as simple, effective, and dare I say, fun as possible. Think of them as bite-sized, beautifully designed teaching aids that can help your clients nail their practice at home and keep coming back to your classes for more.
And here’s where it gets interesting…
If you’re a studio owner or full-time instructor and want to brand these decks with your own logo, colours, and vibe, I offer a Pilates Deck Licensing Program.
I’ll do all the customising for you (a done for you service with no editing headaches)—you get beautifully branded PDFs, JPGs, PNGs, and print-ready files ready to wow your clients, boost your brand, and sneakily improve your retention rates while you’re at it.
Licensing’s all about trust, so I work with studios and instructors who are serious about growing their business (and who appreciate the value of a well-organised deck of Pilates cards).
Freebies & More
While you’re here, feel free to dive into my free Pilates lesson plans, choose a few Pilates card decks, or have a look at the Online Pilates Lesson Planner.
I’ve spent years creating these resources so you can spend less time planning, more time teaching, and maybe, just maybe, sneak in an extra tea break.
To your practice & progress!
