On average, most students finish each certification within 6 months to 1 year. However, everyone’s journey is unique, and we recognize that life can be unpredictable. Hence, the time frame is entirely up to you, you have one year to complete your trainings.

After completing all workshops and 200 hours of training, you can test out. This involves a two-part certification test, written anatomy and practical teaching, that you’ll submit online. And the best part? You can retest for free!

Thinking about becoming a Pilates instructor? That’s awesome! 🎉 To kick things off, you should definitely hit up a few Pilates classes. This gives you a feel of what it’s all about. Dive in, learn about its history, and soak up the vibes from different studios.

After you’ve got a taste, you’ll want to enroll in a training program that vibes with you. Some of these programs dive deep into topics like the backstory of Pilates, the core principles, mat workouts, and even how to handle the equipment. Once you’ve aced the training, gear up for the big leagues – the National Pilates Certification Program exam. Nail that, and bam! You’re officially certified.

🎓 Now, with that shiny certificate, you can start hunting for gigs. There’s a whole world of places looking for someone with your skills – from dance studios, gyms to exclusive Pilates studios. And remember, the learning never stops! Keep updating your skills, maybe get recertified once in a while, and show everyone you’re totally committed to the Pilates life! ✌️

Our program is designed so that you can work at a pace comfortable for you. Course work can be completed in as little as 3 months or you can take up to a year. With 400 hours of coursework, you’re guaranteed success.

To make the most of your Pilates instructor training, become immersed in it. Take as many classes as possible and try different styles to get a better feel for the area you want to focus on. Set aside time to study the anatomy coursework and watch instructional videos. You can also practice saying the terms out loud and to students when you’re in the moment. All of this will help give you an edge when learning new techniques.
