The Mat Training Course

As a first step toward a career in Pilates, most people choose to take the Mat Training Course. Through the structure of the learning experience, drills, exams and our Anatomy in Clay workshop, students will be exceptionally prepared to teach beginner and intermediate classical mat exercises to individuals or group classes in gyms, studios, and other fitness settings.

10 – 15 hours of Pilates Mat instruction at Core Pilates NYC.

If the classes have been taken at another studio, students will be asked to submit a log of classes taken or a letter of reference from a certified Pilates teacher.

Career Starter Kit Prerequisite Mat Class Package: $195 for 15 mat classes. Breaks down to a ridiculously affordable $13 per session. Available once the course deposit/payment is received.

The Mat Training Course integrates both beginner mat AND intermediate mat exercises together in one course. Over the course of 2 weekends and 32 hours, students will become fluent in teaching over 30 Pilates mat exercises, the classical Pilates beginner and intermediate mat sequence, as well as innovative modifications to challenge or simplify each exercise according to varying fitness levels or common injuries.
