NYC Pilates Teacher Training Schools

Because Pilates mat classes tend to be much less expensive than Pilates equipment classes, many of our certification students come to Pilates Academy International with a wealth of mat knowledge and a dearth of equipment knowledge. However, at Pilates Academy International and Pilates on Fifth, we strongly believe use of the Pilates equipment to be an extremely important part of the effective, well-balanced Pilates workout.

Using equipment like the Reformer or the Cadillac on a regular basis will absolutely transform your clients' bodies--and a transformed client is a loyal client. If you want to become the kind of teacher whose clients are wildly loyal to her, you'll need to master the usage of all Pilates equipment. This will help inform even your mat work. Knowing how to train clients on the Arc Barrel or the Chair will improve your teaching of Pilates mat classes, your usage of small Pilates props like elastic bands, and, of course, will empower you to teach great Pilates equipment privates, duets, and trios.

The Pilates Academy International, headquartered at Pilates on Fifth, can help you master all types of Pilates equipment. We offer traditional and advanced classes in the Reformer, Cadillac, Barrels, and Chair. We also offer traditional and advanced classes in Pilates mat work. Finally, Pilates Academy International offers classes for teaching Pilates to special populations, like pregnant, elderly, injured, or disabled clients. Certification will be given to certification students who successfully complete their classes.

This certification will prove invaluable to you as a personal trainer or Pilates instructor. Pilates Academy International is currently in the process of applying for NOCA accreditation. Our NOCA accreditation will make us a great alternative to PMA. Having NOCA-approved certification will also greatly improve your chances of being hired by an IHRSA club or gym.
