  • EP 04: Oh no! You're Subbing for the Popular Instructor

    Oh no, you got asked to sub for the popular instructor - the one with the packed classes and the regulars who show up every single week. Now you’re wondering if you’re supposed to teach like her, move like her, and be her for 60 minutes. In this episode, Kayleigh shares the story of taking over another instructor’s class at a new studio, choosing to teach her own way instead of mirroring what came before, and why that decision still has clients coming back two years later. If you’ve ever shrunk yourself to fit someone else’s class, this one’s for you.

  • Ep 03: Help! Class Planning Is Taking Over My Life!

    Class planning is one of the biggest struggles barre and Pilates instructors face, especially when you're juggling teaching with a full time job, a full life, and the pressure to show up with something fresh every single week. In this episode, Kayleigh answers a real question from an instructor in the community, breaks down the repeatable class framework that makes planning faster, and has an honest conversation about teaching schedules and burnout. If planning classes has started to feel like a second job, this one's for you.

  • EP 02: Why I Don't Teach Beginner or Advanced Classes

    Nobody wants to be called a beginner. And not everyone feels ready to walk into something labeled "advanced." In this episode, Kayleigh makes the case for ditching those labels entirely and explains why teaching all levels classes well is the skill that separates good instructors from great ones. We cover how to offer options without creating a hierarchy, the exact language swap that changes the energy in your room, and when a group class is no longer the right fit for a client.

  • EP 01: Being Certified Doesn't Mean You're Ready to Teach

    In the very first episode of Beyond Certified, Kayleigh talks about the gap nobody in the fitness industry wants to admit exists: getting certified and actually knowing how to teach a class are two very different things.
