Our clients get results and stay engaged year-over-year because we help them commit to a consistent weekly practice and build community within our classes. Our mission is to help everyone move with ease in a motivating, fun and accepting environment.

Purposeful Pilates is looking for a Pilates Instructor in a flexible, independent contractor role to join our growing staff at our in-demand studio in downtown Minneapolis. We opened in October 2021 in the historic Itasca building. We have brand new, top-of-the-line equipment and a huge demand for classes and private lessons at the only classical pilates studio in the popular North Loop neighborhood.

We are looking for energetic instructors with excellent client communications skills who are dedicated to our mission of helping our clients move with ease. Saturday and evening availability is preferred. Please review the list below.
