Legally, you do not need a Pilates Certification or Certificate to teach Pilates because Pilates is an unregulated industry. What you do need is to complete a comprhensive Pilates Teacher Training Program that will prepare you for an interview audition that will be the determining factor in getting a teaching position.

While some organizations claim they have an “Accredited Certification or Certificate”, this only proves that you completed a Teacher Training Program. And since the Pilates industry is not regulated, the Certificate does not prove that you have the skill level you apply for a teaching position. Only the your teaching audition will determine whether or not you get hired.

When you apply for a teaching job you will be asked to give an audition to show your teaching skills. Getting a teaching job will hinge on whether or not they like your audition, not a piece of paper that says you’re a “Certified Pilates Teacher”. The piece of paper only confirms you finished a program.

Our Mat Program covers the history of Pilates, Skeletal and Muscular Systems, Anatomy, Biomechanics and Movement Science, The 5 categories of Cueing and the Art of Observation. We then teach both the Classical Pilates Mat Choreography combined with contemporary modifications.

Our Equipment Program includes how to teach all types of clients including those with medical conditions using the Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, Chair, Barrel, Spine Corrector and other small Pilates props. We have an extensive section on clients with medical conditions that has attracted many students that are also physical therapists.

There are 5 Expert Pilates Teachers who all teach various parts of the Program. All have taken the Program and have been mentored by Ernie Fossa, the Studio Founder, Owner and Program Director,  All of the Expert Teacher Trainer bio’s can be seen on the Certification School’s Faculty Section.

We have Mat Programs almost every month. Most lectures are on weekends but we also have them during the week. You may also take our Program privately. You will have an Expert Teacher Trainer that will work with you to schedule your lectures at times convenient for you.

First, you must fill out an application that is on our website. The application goes directly to Ernie Fossa, the Founder, Owner and Program Director of the Studio and School. He will contact you to setup a phone call. The call is to find out more about your goals to become a teacher and also any questions you may have about the Program. If you both decide this could be a good Program for you, then you will meet him in the studio to go over the Program Manuals. Once that is completed you may then register for the Program.

This depends on how often a student does their practice time. On average it usually takes about 3 months to complete our Comprehensive Mat Certification Program, and 6-8 months to complete our Comprehensive Equipment Certification Program.

Students can complete the Programs at their own pace. However, we require that students begin and continue their practice time immediately after finishing lecture. If a student needs to take more than a month off from their practice time, a written request must be sent to the Program Director for approval. If no request is received, the Program Director may not allow the student to continue.

You may take our Mat Certification Program online. Our Equipment Certification Program is not available online.

Being familiar with Pilates choreography, having a passion for it and wanting to share it with others are our school’s pre-requisites.

No. Our Comprehensive Mat Certification Program will teach you both Anatomy and Biomechanics before learning the exercises.

As a student in our School you do not need insurance as you are covered by our insurance.

We have a  written exam in the Mat Program and then a final written and practical exam at the end of the Equipment Program. Additionally, there are many hours of assessments done by our Expert Teacher Trainers.

Cancellation of either the Mat or Equipment Programs must be received via email to the studio at least 30 days prior to the start of the Mat lecture. A $250 Administrative Fee is applied to all refunds for the Mat Program. No refunds are given for any reason if a cancellation is requested within 30 days prior to the start of the Mat Program. If you purchase both programs together, you cannot cancel either program, once the first one has started.

If you have registered and paid tuition for a Program but cannot attend any of the dates, you can request to move to a future Program date. You must email the Program Director with your request. You may only do this before any lecture starts. There is a $250 Program change fee to make this change. All changes are subject to Program availability.

If student cannot continue any part of the Mat or Equipment Certification Program lecture or practice time and needs to leave for more than a two month period, they are required to email the Program Director to state the reason for their absence to receive approval to continue the Program.  If a student leaves a Mat or Equipment Certification Program without emailing the Program Director to request a leave of absence and approval to re-enter, they may not re-enter the Mat Program and will not receive any refund.
