Objectives
The Club Pilates Core Teacher Training Program is a 280-hour Mat and Reformer Pilates education program that allows
for flexible pacing with a blended education format. The blended format includes in-person (practical), independent, and
online learning. Graduates will receive Pilates education in Mat, Reformer, Jumpboard, anatomy, and special populations.
Participants will have access to our proprietary educational materials and the host studio facility for one year from the date
of their first in-studio day.
This program will prepare graduates with the skills needed to become a successful instructor in the Pilates industry.
Upon completion, graduates are eligible to complete their education in Chair, Springboard, Cadillac (RTC), Ladder Barrel,
Spine Corrector, and Magic Circle to become Comprehensively certified in the Pilates method. The Club Pilates Core
Teacher Training fulfills global industry standards of all-levels Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor education and, while not
guaranteed, provides a pathway to be hired as a Junior Instructor at a Club Pilates location or elsewhere.
Host Studio
The host studio is the location where participants attend their in-studio days. During these practical learning sessions,
participants should come prepared to move for many hours each day by wearing appropriate athletic wear. Bringing
snacks and a water bottle for short breaks is recommended. The host studio will be the participant’s home during this
time and will be there to support throughout the program.
PROGRAM HOURS
70 HOURS ONLINE LEARNING
These hours are comprised of lectures, online assignments, reading, videos, and quizzes. All
online hours can be completed anytime, anywhere, which allows participants to complete their
hours at their own pace and schedule.
38.5 HOURS IN-STUDIO DAYS
In-studio hours are completed in person at the host studio over 7 days. Each day will be 6 hours
long with a 30-minute break. The Master Trainer will review materials from the online portal,
providing deeper discussions regarding exercise application. Participants are required to attend all
7 in-studio days to complete the program. If a day must be missed, it can be made up at a later
time either when the program returns to the host studio or by visiting a neighboring Club Pilates.
When making up a day at a different studio than the host studio, the participant will be a charged
a minimum $100 per day to audit.

PROGRAM HOURS
45 HOURS OBSERVATION
Participants may begin logging observation hours the same day as enrollment. These
hours can be completed by watching classes inside the studio or by watching Pilates classes
online. An Observation Form will be completed for each hour of observation. Approved
online sites for satisfying observation requirements are www.xponential.plus or
www.pilatesanytime.com.
*Please note that additional subscription charges to these services may apply.
60 HOURS SELF-PRACTICE
Participants may begin logging self-practice hours the same day as enrollment. These hours
consist of time spent physically practicing the Pilates Method. These hours can be completed
at home, in studio classes, private training sessions, or another environment that is conducive
to self-practice. Class and private training session fees for these services will apply and are not
included in the tuition for the Teacher Training program.
44 HOURS PRACTICE TEACHING
Participants are encouraged to start logging practice teaching hours prior to the 3rd in-studio
day. This gives the student the ability to ask questions in person during days 4-7. These hours
require participants to bring their own “client” to the studio and practice teaching the Pilates
Method to them. Student liability insurance is required at this point in the program to protect the
participant and the studio. Insurance should be no more than $100/year. Both the host studio and
Club Pilates Franchise LLC need to be listed as additional insured on the policy.
22 HOURS ASSISTANT TEACHING
Assistant teaching hours are logged when the participant assists an approved Club Pilates
instructor during a live class. During this time, a 3-5-minute increment of class is taught by the
participant. During the remaining parts of the class the participant will help adjust equipment,
demonstrate proper form, and much more! This is a great time to pick up new teaching tech-
niques, learn new cues, and shadow an experienced instructor.

before the in-studio days begin.
Participants will have access to Canvas for one year from the start of their first in-studio day for the Pilates
curriculum. Access to the anatomy course will begin on the day of enrollment and last for one year only. If

the anatomy course is not eligible for extensions. Participants may request up to three additional months at a

Trainer for mentorship, grading and the final test out.

Etiquette
It is important that all participants maintain a positive and professional demeanor when in the studio. Respecting the
studio, staff, and fellow participants is key to a successful in-studio training experience. All participants will be asked
to sign an Etiquette Agreement that will clarify use of studio and expectations on how to accomplish all categories
of hours. We encourage participants to work together on practice teaching hours as they can learn from one another.
The Master Trainer is there to support and guide all participants through the process.
Graduate Requirements
All hours and assignments indicated in the online learning portal, quizzes, final written exam, and final practical test out
are required to complete the program. The last step of the participant’s program is to pass the practical test-out.
Your final grade will be based upon the following:
50% Final Practical Test-Out
25% Completed assignments, class participation, and attendance
10% Final Online Exam
10% Anatomy Course
5% Final Written Assignment
*Failure to pass the final exams may result in additional fees to retest. Only one test out is included in the price of tuition.
Diploma
Participants will receive a diploma proving their total accomplishments and readiness to teach upon completion of all
requirements and fees paid.
Mentorship
Utilizing a Master Trainer is a huge part of the program and one that sets the Club Pilates Teacher Training program
apart from others. Your Master Trainer will be there every step of the way and will also support participants during
preparation for the final exam and final practical test out.
