PlankeApp is a Pilates job board and professional network. It is both a browser-based web app and a mobile application for iOS and Android that is tailored for studios and instructors. As an instructor, you can apply for jobs all over the world or view and message studios. As a studio, you can post jobs, screen applicants, and hire or connect with instructors.
Please follow these steps:
If you are still having trouble, contact our support team.
PlankeApp is free to download and use for studios and instructors. Instructors gain full functionality with their free account.
Once a studio joins PlankeApp free tier, they can add one studio location, browse instructor profiles, and receive messages from instructors (but cannot respond). To post jobs and unlock unlimited messaging, enhanced search, and hiring functionality, studios must upgrade to Plus ($199/year), Pro ($399/year), or Enterprise (custom pricing) plans.
Yes! Right now our biggest userbase is with Pilates, but we are growing into the Yoga and Barre space as well - as there is a lot of cross-over for studios and instructors alike. We recommend sharing the app with your colleagues and employers to help grow opportunities in your field.
Once you've set up your account, posting a job is a one step process. Simply answer a few prompted questions and post the class that you need filled…then either browse profiles or wait for the instructors to come to you. All jobs you post are automatically shared directly to the instructor's main feed.
Yes! PlankeApp is designed to make your studio management easier, and that definitely includes subbing. Post a job for just one class or fill an ongoing shift.
All job types (Permanent, Substitute, and Seasonal) are posted for 45 days before they expire. Workshops and Teacher Training expire 60 days after posting or on the event start date, whichever comes first. Studio Rentals expire 90 days after posting and can be automatically renewed. Once posts expire, instructors will no longer see or be able to apply.
No, PlankeApp does not hire or facilitate the hiring of instructors. We provide the platform for studios and instructors to view and connect. You can view instructor credentials right in the app, including job history, certifications and insurance.
Unlike major job boards and professional networks, PlankeApp is exclusively for fitness professionals, so every profile you see is relevant to your studio. Use our enhanced search filters to find instructors by location, certifications, experience level, and availability. Review their profiles, certifications, and past work history. You can also post specific requirements in your job listings to attract the right candidates.

Yes! You can post workshops, teacher training programs, and continuing education events on PlankeApp. These postings are designed to help studios promote their educational offerings to instructors. Workshop and training posts expire 60 days after posting or on the event start date, whichever comes first.
Absolutely! Studio rental postings allow you to rent out your space to qualified instructors during off-hours or open time slots. This is a great way to generate additional revenue from your studio space. Rental posts expire 90 days after posting and can be automatically renewed to maintain visibility.
Every teaching opportunity is unique - pay rates as well as guidelines on contract vs employee work are determined by individual studios and not a part of the PlankeApp or its services.
Each country has its own guidelines, and the studio you connect with will be able to provide information on legal requirements for their location.
Include a professional photo, list all relevant certifications, highlight your experience and specialties, add your availability, and write a brief bio that showcases your teaching style and personality. The more complete your profile, the more likely studios are to reach out.
Create your instructor profile to get started, or read our blog post on creating compelling profiles.
List all relevant Pilates certifications (Classical, Contemporary, Reformer, Mat, etc.), as well as other fitness certifications like Yoga, Barre, or specialized training. Include the certifying organization and year completed. Studios often look for specific credentials.

Instructors can message both studios and other instructors. Note that studios on the free tier can receive messages but cannot respond, while all paid plans (Plus, Pro, and Enterprise) offer unlimited messaging.
If a class needs to be cancelled, the studio should notify the instructor as soon as possible through the app's messaging system. Cancellation policies vary by studio, so be sure to discuss expectations during the initial conversation. We recommend establishing clear communication about cancellation procedures.
