The 8 Best Pilates Instructor Discounts for up to 40% Off Your Wardrobe
Have you ever wondered how many pairs of leggings you actually own? I’ve asked myself that question, and let’s just say…I’m not counting! But since leggings are my typical work attire, it only makes sense to have plenty of options.
I”ll let you in on a little secret though—over the summer, I parted with a lot of my old wardrobe. I had several pairs of low rise leggings and leggings with prints and designs in storage so I let my nieces rummage through my “vintage” athleisure wear and take their favorites. I kept a few pieces and donated some I knew I wouldn't wear again.
One morning, I woke up to a photo of my niece wearing my old clothes from head to toe with a text from her mom saying, “Please send a pic to Aunt Lia, I want to show her the leggings and long sleeve I’m wearing today.”
While I might not have a ton of leggings anymore, I still have to curate a Pilates and yoga appropriate wardrobe as an instructor.
And what people don't tell you when you switch from working in corporate America to being an instructor in the wellness industry is that your daily dress code changes completely (yep, before becoming a Pilates instructor and opening my own studio, I worked a typical 9-5!). I went from wearing dress pants, blouses, and heels to leggings, my go-to vest, and my favorite Nikes. I also traded my corporate blazer for some casual knit blazers that pair perfectly with my leggings.
Luckily, building yourself a new work wardrobe doesn’t have to break the bank! My Pilates students get very excited when I tell them that they get all sorts of clothing discounts upon graduation. It makes them want to get to the finish line and graduate even sooner (who can blame them)!
