Get ready to not only learn every exercise on the Mat or on the classical apparatus but to become fluent in its original form – AND how to teach it! Classical versus Progressive. It’s a thing. While we can nod approvingly to Pilates’ evolution into more progressive styles, the adaptability of our Mat and fully certified CLASSICALLY trained instructors are unparalleled in the world of Pilates. Not the other way around. You’ll be prepared. You’ll be marketable. You’ll be transformed.
From monthly mentor meetings with members of our faculty in the Comprehensive to a dedicated communication platform that all faculty monitor and engage within, we are here to guide you every step of the way. Plus we’ve built in weekly office hours with our founder, and a 15-year thriving dedicated Facebook group that all of our grads post in; anything from job ops to apparatus sales. You’ll be connected with our community.
Our little black book is vast, varied and international. Our grads are everywhere and our relationships are strong. Learn how to ace your auditions, get hired, and have all the tools necessary to present yourself like a pro. Access our Resources module for that, plus binge video interviews from our Preferred Studio Network – founders and managers of the top studios in NYC and beyond who offer up insider tips on what they look for, how they audition, how to be an in-demand teacher, how to be a profitable biz owner or influencer and more.
The CPNYC teacher training team stand out in this competitive industry. And so will you. With hundreds of years of experience between our in-house faculty, you’ll be able to observe them in real time, access their expertise, and get mentored so you can be the best version of yourself as a Pilates teacher. You won’t just have 1 top guru-ish mentor that is hardly around but a complete team who are diverse, have fresh perspectives to share and will make you feel confident in growing into and sharing your own special magic as teacher.
You’ll get nothing but love and support from us! Our instructors and mentors are exceptional, and always there to offer you guidance every step of the way. We make it our mission to make the information relevant and approachable, so even if you have zero teaching experience, you’ll be well looked after. You will also gain lifetime access to our Facebook community of trainees and graduates, where you’ll find teaching tips, job postings and FAQs from like-minded aspiring Pilates pros.
It’s an interesting industry question for sure! You can claim “certified” only by sitting for the independent third party exam administered by the Pilates Method Alliance. This is true for ALL teacher training programs at any studio. After completing our coursework you will be issued a Pilates Method Alliance recognized certificate of training that qualifies you as a professional Core Pilates NYC Instructor. You then will be prepared AND have the option to sit for the PMA exam, if you so choose. Otherwise, you can seek employment with just your certificate of training from us!
Our courses are open to everyone, with the materials catering for absolute beginners and those with existing fitness qualifications. As part of your course preparation, we do require at least 30 sessions for the comprehensive 600 hour course and 10-15 live or online classes under your belt before starting our Mat Training.
Firstly, don’t panic! One of the very best things about our courses and programs is that we make learning anatomy accessible and even – wait for it – fun. Promise.
