Pilates Teacher Training FAQ
Pilates Teacher Training
Through the Balanced Body Pilates certification program. You will learn the classical Pilates work and how to program Q, give hands-on corrections, and adapt the classical exercises to the person in front of you.
You will be taught how to modify exercises for people who are not quite ready for the full version of the exercise and given variation options to make the work more challenging for those who are ready for that.
If you are certified through another Pilates certification program, you can apply for the bridge program program to become Balanced Body Pilates certified. Balanced Body will review the certification program you went through and determine which modules you will need to take Balanced Body to test out and then become a Balanced Body Pilates certified instructor.

What Does The Mentor Program Include?
Mentor Classes
There are two weekly classes available exclusively for members of the Mentor Program. Unlike regular Pilates classes, these classes stick to the manual material to help you properly learn how to do the exercises and teach them to your students. This ensures that you have a solid foundation to start teaching and helps you pass your final exam.
Open Studio Times
Take advantage of our well-equipped studio to practice at your convenience. We offer open studio hours four days a week, allowing you to schedule your own time and come in to practice. You can use our equipment and join any of our on-demand classes (which count towards your self-practice hours), practice your own programming to see how it flows (also self-practice hours), or collaborate with other peers in the Mentor Program to practice your teaching skills (these count towards your practice teaching hours). This offer is exclusively for local residents.
Observation Hours
You will have the opportunity to observe our teachers in action as they teach in our studios. As a participant, you will be a silent observer during class while also assisting the instructor with greeting clients, setting up equipment, and experiencing firsthand what goes on in a real-life studio setting. This experience will provide you with ideas for teaching and cueing, as well as fulfilling your required observation hours.
Practice Teaching Hours
Participants in our program are provided with exclusive time on Saturdays to hone their teaching skills by practicing with each other. These sessions are overseen by Brooke, who offers valuable tips and guidance to help participants improve.
Teaching Labs
Join us for our workshops, where we delve into specific topics such as common injuries, Pilates for pregnancy, when to advance clients, tips for retaining clients, and more. These workshops provide an opportunity to expand your knowledge and enhance your skills.
On-Demand Video Library
Our Mentor Program video library is a valuable resource that provides you with recordings of all our mentor classes. This means you have the flexibility to review the content at your convenience, giving you the power to learn and grow on your own terms. Additionally, our platform offers “teaching labs” that you can access to deepen your understanding and enhance your skills. With these tools at your fingertips, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
