Hi, I'm Rikki—Pilates instructor, educator, and founder of RQK Pilates.
After years of teaching, I realized that one of the biggest challenges instructors face isn't learning the exercises it's everything that comes after certification. The constant pressure to create fresh classes, keep clients engaged, remember modifications and progressions, and somehow find time for your own self-practice can quickly lead to burnout.
I created RQK Pilates to be the resource I wish I had when I started teaching. While there are other platforms out there, I wanted to build one that truly reflected my approach to Pilates: creative yet intentional, challenging yet accessible, and rooted in supporting instructors as whole people, not just teachers.
RQK Pilates is an all-in-one platform designed to help instructors save time, teach with confidence, and stay inspired. Inside, you'll find ready-to-teach class plans for every apparatus, printable programming, franchise-friendly resources, teaching tips, mentorship, and a supportive community of instructors who understand the realities of this profession.
My philosophy is simple: great instructors don't have to do it all alone. I believe in collaboration over competition, consistency over perfection, and creating systems that allow instructors to thrive both inside and outside the studio.
My goal is to help you become the instructor you want to be without sacrificing your creativity, confidence, or love for movement in the process.
Welcome to RQK Pilates. I'm so glad you're here.
