This is my 3rd training with Brooke and Align. If you are thinking of getting certified do it and do it here! Brookes gives away all the secrets, best cues, variations that are helpful. She doesn’t gatekeep anything. She truly wants you to succeed.

I love going to my weekly Pilates class with Align! I recently had a back injury and they were so accommodating and helpful with the rescheduling of my classes. They care about their customers and their overall wellbeing♥️

The course provided was thorough and well-paced. Brooke is an excellent instructor, very thorough, knowledgeable, patient and inclusive. I appreciated her teaching style and her experience shows immediately. She doesn’t read from the handbook as other instructors tend to do. I wish I had found her earlier and plan to continue studying with her.

Brooke and the Align team are AMAZING! Not only are they full of knowledge and experience, but they also know how to create a community full of love and care! She’s professional, but also so relaxed and genuine, and it’s obvious to see the passion, dedication and hard work she puts into her work, and her team. I don’t have enough positive things to say!

Really incredible pilates teacher training program taught by Brooke that I would recommend to anyone becoming a pilates instructor. She is masterful in her ways of teaching others to teach! So happy with my experience here! The aesthetics of the studio are so clean and peaceful and I always look forward to meeting fellow pilates instructors in training!

Maybe I’m biased, but I believe anyone desiring to become a great teacher should take a module or all the modules from Brooke and her team. This is not easy, but the way Brooke teaches instills confidence and an understanding of each exercise that you know you can do this and change lives. Brooke desires to create an environment of warmth and joy. Her teaching and style is addicting, so much so that most of us are sad as we see the end of this phase drawing near.

This studio is pristine! It’s super clean and it’s the only place I do indoor workout classes and feel safe from covid (they have air filters throughout the studio). The equipment is also really nice and the variety of exercises in class keeps it different every class. I am one to usually get bored during workout classes and that never happens here. Also, I’m impressed with the quality of all the instructors. I’ve been to a variety of instructor classes and really have not been disappointed with anyone. They’re all fantastic, friendly, give a bit of individual attention, and make you feel comfortable.
