Pilates Education as Unique as You

Hi, my name is Hope. I just completed teacher training. I just wanted to let you know that our instructors here are highly qualified. We take a 500 hour comprehensive course, so it’s not just online where you click a couple of buttons. You actually have to feel the movement in your body. We go through 66 hours of in-studio training as well as observation hours and a bunch of others.”

Teacher Training Program

Club Pilates Teacher Training is an established, comprehensive program that provides a challenging, yet nurturing, learning environment. It is perfect for dedicated practitioners who are ready to take the next step in their journey or for those looking to follow their passion and pursue Pilates as a career!

In the program, we dive immediately into the structure of the human body – covering anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and applied kinesiology. You’ll use these fundamentals throughout the in-depth and rigorous studio sessions – first learning how the body works and then learning how to apply this knowledge through Pilates exercises. Our robust online training portal gives you continuous access to support materials.

While mastering Pilates techniques, our student teachers learn how to address imbalances and injuries that people face in everyday life. Graduates of our program develop a complete understanding of the musculoskeletal structure and system, gaining valuable insight to help clients suffering from many types of injuries, while safely exercising and challenging individuals of all skill and ability levels. We encourage individuality and creativity while teaching you how to safely apply Pilates fundamentals in both group and private training settings.

I started working with Shannon in October 2018 and she was an integral part of my Pilates teacher training experience. Her knowledge of the body, movement and its application to Pilates is vast and impressive. Despite my years of study in the field of personal training, I found myself initially intimidated to work with Shannon. She quickly put my mind at ease, assuring me her primary goal was to build on my strengths, and help me grow in my field.

I felt I was in a safe space, void of judgement, and open to learning. Shannon motivates you to step outside of your comfort zone and her obvious passion for Pilates encourages you to embrace your studies. I appreciate everything I have learned thus far and look forward to the many things I will continue to learn from Shannon as I move forward in my career. — Sherri Kendrick, Pilates Instructor

Meeting Shannon has been one of the highlights in my life. First of all, her brilliance and knowledge for the body goes beyond Pilates and is the most comprehensive understanding that I have ever trained under. Secondly, Shannon brings so much more to the table than years of experience with her patience, excitement and ability to adapt her teaching style to multiple types of learners all in the same room. Her ability to connect with people and heal the body through movement is a gift in this world. From savvy business strategies, to communication techniques, to multiple perspectives of understanding the body – Shannon really is the complete package.

And what inspires me the most about Shannon is her selfless leadership style. I have watched Shannon mentor many others and I am in awe of how she is able to bring out the best in every person she works with. Shannon did more than just teach me to regurgitate information, she taught me how to be a Jedi! I owe a great deal of my success and happiness to her. — Jenna Dodge, MS, CHES Movement Specialist, Pilates Instructor
