Pilates Mat Certifications In NYC

Teaching Pilates is much more than a "day job," although many folks (professional dancers in particular) teach Pilates to supplement their primary incomes. When done with knowledge, passion, and commitment, teaching Pilates is deeply rewarding. As a Pilates instructor, you'll help relieve people of their pain and stress. You'll help improve their confidence and increase their energy. Think of all that Pilates has given you, and imagine giving those same positive benefits back to every single one of your clients.

One of our Pilates on Fifth clients told us that "what I notice most [after my Pilates workouts] is the absence of pain." Affecting people this way--relieving their pain, or simply helping them stand taller--is deeply satisfying. Of course, you'll need to learn a great deal before you can teach safe yet engaging mat classes.

Pilates Academy International is the Pilates certification training program affiliated with Pilates on Fifth. The Academy is headquartered within Pilates on Fifth's beautiful, penthouse studio. At the Pilates Academy International, we offer mat classes and advanced mat classes, as well as classes and advanced classes in the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Arc Barrel and Ladder Barrel.

Many certification students start with a strong interest in teaching mat, particularly if the bulk of their Pilates experience has been as mat class students. Many of our students then quickly discover the benefits of equipment like the Reformer and Cadillac. Pilates equipment creates fantastic results. Being able to instruct people on this equipment is also a highly specialized skill that can serve as a career unto itself.
