Admissions

For many people the decision to become a professional Pilates instructor comes from the need to start a new career, a passion for fitness, or a desire to supplement their income. Before signing up for teacher training, be sure your personal Pilates practice and your foundational knowledge of the work are both solid. Knowing Pilates in your own body will not only give you an appreciation of the method, it will also help you teach it to your clients. Take Pilates classes at your gym or find a studio and watch Pilates DVDs. In other words, do whatever you can to familiarize yourself more fully with the work.
