Beacon Pilates’ Teacher Training program is a Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) Certifying Center

Classical Pilates Teacher Training

At Fitt Pilates, we believe exceptional Pilates instruction begins with a deep understanding of the classical method developed by Joseph Pilates.

Our Classical Pilates Teacher Training program, offered through our affiliation with Beacon Pilates, is rooted in the original teachings of Joseph Pilates and preserves the direct lineage of his method.

This comprehensive approach to Pilates education, taught and led by master instructors, goes beyond learning a series of exercises. It develops a deep understanding of the classical system, the purpose and progression of the work, and the ability to recognize and respond to each individual client’s needs.

Our goal is to help develop knowledgeable, observant, and thoughtful teachers who understand not only what to teach, but why.

Learn to teach the person, not just the exercises.

Classical Pilates is a complete, interconnected system. The exercises have purpose, order, and progression. Understanding how they work together is essential to teaching the method as it was intended.

Through comprehensive study of the classical repertoire, trainees develop the knowledge and practical skills to work with individuals at different stages of their Pilates journey. They learn to observe movement, recognize individual needs, make informed teaching decisions, and determine when to challenge, modify, or allow more time for progress.

Our program focuses on the ability to accommodate for all bodies, including injuries and issues with the back, shoulders, knees, hips, various mobility issues, pregnancy, neurological disorders, and more.

At Fitt Pilates, we offer our teacher trainees discounts on classes, privates, and workshops as well as mentorship and apprenticeship within our studio.
