I am a yoga instductor, a new Pilates instructor and a new studio owner. I have been listening to only 10 episodes (ya I’m binging) for a week and I improved my knowledge by listening to each and every episode. Incredible podcast!

When you begin the process of becoming a certified Pilates instructor, it’s ultimately up to you to continue learning and become truly knowledgeable in the field you’ve chosen. I’m VERY grateful that I discovered Dr. McAtee’s podcast and resources so early in my journey! I’ve been listening to an episode a day, and I already feel so much more confident in my understanding and approach than I did before discovering this podcast. I’m incredibly grateful to have this in my toolbox of resources, especially because I’m learning from a physical therapist who has also been a Pilates instructor for many, many years now. The best of both worlds when it comes to WHO you are getting your information from. If you’re pursuing Pilates education and want to deepen your understanding beyond simply learning exercises, I highly recommend adding this podcast to your resources!

Really useful podcast with clear, concise information and advice about how to apply it to your teaching. Although, I do feel he can be dismissive of things that can actually be useful with certain clients just because they don’t always apply to the general population or makes claims like anatomy not being that important for Pilates instructors to understand which I have to disagree with at least in certain cases (particularly private sessions). Do certification trainings make things too complex and often use outdated science? 100%, but does this pod oversimplify controversial or complicated topics sometimes? I would say also yes. Episodes focused on teaching you something specific are very helpful though!

I love the fact that Adam has soooooo much information in his clubs, I don't have to go multiple places in search of them. His witty nature keeps me attentive and his detailed foundational explanation is making me a better instructor everyday. . I relate to his passion for Pilates and share the same enthusiasm as I transition to a Studio owner. And these Podcasts... OMG, they are gems!! After listening to his workshops/lectures, these podcasts are like a small review sessions to me. The Engineer in me lovessss that!! Keep up the great work Adam, I hope to consume all the knowledge you are sharing, so that I can help forward by becoming a worthy instructor.. Just fangirl-ing here 🤩
