THE GOOD NEWS IS ...
This Mentorship is about to completely change your life...Â
I was once EXACTLY where you are in my own Pilates teaching journey. Feeling lost, alone, overwhelmed asking myself "Was this investment even worth it? How am I going to turn this into long lasting profitable career?Â
Let me tell you a little secret...
I went from teaching 20 classes a week—dreading getting out of my car at the thought of teaching one more Pilates class—to teaching just 8 classes a week and running a thriving Pilates education business full of people I WANT to teach.
I’ve been where you are—saying yes to every client and offer, only to end up with a packed schedule and no energy left. My passion for teaching was starting to feel more like pain, and I knew I had two choices: quit or find a new way.
Along the way I have uncovered a PASSION to help Pilates instructors to do the same.Â
Through my mentorship, I’ve helped dozens of Pilates teachers build CONFIDENCE, set BOUNDARIES, and find their UNIQUE teaching voices. So they see that this CAN BE a LONG LASTING and LUCRATIVE CAREER. And I can help you too!

Hello!Â
I'm Bonnie
YOURÂ Beyond the manual mentor
As a full-time personal trainer and Pilates teacher for over 20 years in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I know what it’s like to juggle a packed schedule, family responsibilities, and a desire for something more fulfilling. I’ve been where you are—teaching nonstop, feeling isolated, and wondering if this is what my Pilates career would always look like.
For years, I craved a community and real support from other teachers. I wanted someone who truly understood the challenges of teaching day in and day out. That longing led me to pursue continued learning, eventually becoming a Balanced Body Educator in 2010.
Teaching teachers became my new passion, and in 2023, I launched BBPilatesCR to provide instructors with top-notch continuing education, mentorship, and support.
Today, I help Pilates instructors like you find confidence and clarity in your teaching so you can stand out as the go-to instructor while building a sustainable and fulfilling career.
I believe having a mentor who truly gets it—someone who has walked the same path—can make all the difference in transforming not just your teaching, but your entire experience as a Pilates professional.Â
Â
LET'S DO THIS →IF YOU'RE READING THIS YOU MIGHT BE THINKING....Â
"I poured a fortune into my certification—why should I spend even more?"
I GET IT.  You’ve already invested so much in your dream. This mentorship isn’t about adding another expense—it’s about turning everything you’ve learned into a sustainable, profitable career that finally gives you back the time and freedom you deserve.
Â
But here’s what’s riskier: Staying exactly where you are.
I totally get it—investing in your teaching can feel overwhelming, especially when you've already spent so much just getting certified.
But here's the truth:
More certifications don’t automatically equal more clients, confidence, or clarity. They won’t magically give you the sustainable career or freedom you’re craving.
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE LIVED IT!!Â
For years, I was teaching 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. On the surface, I’d “made it”—full schedule, packed classes, a waitlist of eager clients. But behind the scenes?
I WAS MISERABLE
Every hour not teaching felt like lost income. I barely saw my family. I was exhausted, burnt out, and wondering if I’d made a huge mistake choosing this path. I loved Pilates, but I couldn’t keep living like that.
Then I found mentorship—and that’s when everything changed.
I gained clarity on who I wanted to teach and how I wanted to work. I learned to design sessions that were both effective and meaningful, rather than mechanical and draining. Most importantly, I figured out how to create a profitable, sustainable career that fit my life—not one that took over my life.
Now? I no longer teach endless back-to-back sessions just to make ends meet. My schedule is filled with the clients I love working with, and I’ve gained back precious time for my family and myself.
This is exactly what Beyond the Manual will help you do:
- Stop trading hours for dollars by maximizing your time in the studio.
- Build a schedule filled with your dream clients—the ones who light you up, not wear you out.
- Find clarity and purpose in your teaching so you show up with confidence and joy.
This isn’t advice I’m spitting out from some pedestal—it’s what I’ve lived. And now I’m here to guide you through it too.
