Pilates Class Builder is the tool Pilates teachers — and anyone building their own sessions — use to plan and run a class, without scattered notes or timing guesswork. BUILD A CLASS IN TWO MINUTES • Drag exercises from a 54-move library: Mat, Reformer, Classical, Power, gentle/senior, pre- & post-natal. • Set each block in reps, breaths or seconds. • Pick the working side of one-sided exercises — carried through the player and the PDF. • Two illustration styles for every exercise: Classic or Illustrated. • Add personal cues, intentions, notes. • Reorder, duplicate, archive blocks in one tap. A PLAYER THAT GUIDES YOU • Block-by-block timer with full-screen visual countdown. • Clear Left/Right badge you can read from the mat. • Rep and breath pacing to stay in sync — you or your students. • Soft bell at the end of each exercise. • Respects the silent switch, mixes with your background music (Spotify, Apple Music). • Voice announcements: a voice says the next exercise, and can count down 3, 2, 1. • Apple Health (optional): each session is saved as a workout in the Health app. EVERY EXERCISE, EXPLAINED • Each of the 54 exercises has its sheet: summary, cues, spine movements — in your language. • Add it to a class straight from the sheet, in one tap. • Not in the 54? Create your own exercise, with your own photo. YOUR PROGRESS • Your week, your minutes and the exercises you have practised, in one place. • An atlas of the eight exercise families shows what you practise — and what you skip. SHARE YOUR CLASSES • Send any class with a short link: to a substitute teacher, a client, a friend. • The person who opens it adds it to their app in one tap — or sees it on a web page. • Manage your links in Settings: copy them again or delete them at any time. WHAT TEACHERS DO WITH IT • Plan the morning class over coffee. • Run the class with the phone on the corner of the mat. • Export a clean PDF for substitute teachers or your studio. • Build a library of templates by style, by length, by client. PRACTISING ON YOUR OWN? Build your own session and let the player guide you, exercise by exercise, breath by breath. ORGANIZE, NOT JUST CREATE • Folders to group your weekly schedule, your courses, your privates. • Favorites to surface go-to classes. • Reminders on the days you teach. • Quick-start presets: Mat Foundations 20 min, Core & Abs 15 min, Express Wake-up 10 min. Built for Pilates teachers and dedicated practitioners, by people who sweat the details. • Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ • Privacy Policy: https://pilatesclassbuilder.rocketcode.app/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Pilates Class Builder at every 4 days against Pilates Project's monthly. Pilates Class Builder also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Pilates Project's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
