THE Pilates V

TEACHER TRAINING Program

Join us in sharing the Pilates V vision of bringing Pilates to the people through inspiration and education!

Our mission

At Pilates V we strive to provide an inclusive, creative, and adaptive environment to meet the needs of students of varying levels. The goal of our program is to go beyond the basic "muscles and bones" approach to teaching, and instead focus on immersive and hands on experiences, so students have the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of movement systems and apply the foundational Pilates principles of mind and body via real in-studio experiences. At the end of this program we expect students to not only have the technical skill to begin teaching clients, but the practical skills of applying the knowledge.

Graduation requirements

Students of our program must complete the following requirements within 18-months of their session start date (first lecture date) to graduate the program and receive their certificate of completion required to take the National Pilates Certificate Exam (NPCP):

  1. Complete all program requirements including attending all lectures and turning in all required logs for self-guided requirements

  2. Pass a written midterm exam, final written exam, and two final practical exams that test your Pilates knowledge 

  3. Complete all payments and tuition requirements

Are you ready to share the vision?

You'll be immersed and empowered in our holistic, intensive, interactive learning experience. We go beyond the basic "muscles and bones" approach so you can develop a deeper understanding of movement systems and principles, then apply the Pilates Methodology of mind and body fitness to enhance the lives of students.

We accept applications for our program on a rolling basis. We determine lecture location and lecture session duration based on applications from prospective students. Our class sizes are limited to 10 per class to allow room for make-up students and guest instructors who may be observing. Application and materials fees (non-refundable) are only due upon an accepted and approved application

Tuition Price: $3,500 (EXCLUDING enrollment fee + materials)Payment plans available.
