Case Study: Gaia Pilates achieves a seamless shift to online and on-demand classes with TeamUp

A studio owner's thoughts on the future of online Pilates classes

Gaia Pilates, run by Wendy Scott in South East London, faced a sudden challenge when lockdown made its hands-on, studio-based Pilates teaching model impossible. With online Pilates previously uncommon and in-person adjustments central to the practice, Wendy needed a way to keep classes running, serve different ability levels, and retain clients without traditional studio equipment or close physical guidance.

Wendy shifted to live Zoom classes and built an on‑demand video library using TeamUp’s integrated booking and video features, adapting her teaching style for clear verbal cues and beginner‑specific sessions. The solution kept her business operating through lockdown, reduced administrative burden through automated bookings, expanded her reach to remote and overseas clients, and created a sustainable hybrid model she plans to continue alongside in‑person classes.
