You’ve been doing Pilates. You love it. And somewhere along the way, you thought — “I could teach this.”

This program is for someone who doesn’t just want to become a Pilates instructor — but build a Pilates business. Whether you’re brand new to teaching or looking to build a foundation that actually holds up in a room full of real bodies, PilatesBody Teacher Training gives you the tools, the vocabulary, and the confidence to lead.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Most trainings give you choreography. We give you a system.

Let’s clear everything up.

  • Do I need prior teaching experience to apply?
    Toggle Icon

    No. This program is designed for people at both ends of the spectrum — those who have never taught a class and those who have been teaching for a while but want a real foundation. What matters is that you’re serious about the work. This is also a great option for practitioners of other fitness modalities (personal trainers, barre, yoga, etc.) who want to incorporate the Pilates system into their methodology to better support their clients.”

  • Where is the in-person training weekend?
    Toggle Icon

    There will be limited spots available for hands-on, 1-on-1 training in Texas and NYC (details coming soon). Get feedback with Raven and the PilatesBody team to ensure you’re successful the moment you step into the studio.

  • Is it the same price for the hybrid and virtual training?
    Toggle Icon

    Yes, it’s the same price for the training itself but hybrid students should budget for travel and lodging. We recommend choosing hybrid if there are spots available!

  • Do you offer online only?
    Toggle Icon

    Online is a strong way to complete this program. Hybrid is completely optional, but strongly recommended. The in-person immersion (NYC & TX options – details coming soon) is where a lot of the real breakthroughs happen — live practice teaching, in-person feedback from Raven, and the community piece that’s hard to replicate on a screen. If you can make it, make it.

  • How much time should I expect to commit?
    Toggle Icon

    Plan for approximately 100 hours total to feel prepared for your test-out.

  • Why is certification important?
    Toggle Icon

    Certification programs add credibility to our industry and help studios find the for the most qualified and knowledgeable instructors . Pilates is an unregulated industry (it is not a licensed profession) so third-party certifications provide the next best thing. Having a PilatesBody instructor certification assures your clients that you are competent and safe to work with the public (and gonna teach the best class everrrr). 

  • Will this certification help me actually get clients?
    Toggle Icon

    The certification gives you the foundation — the knowledge, the vocabulary, the confidence. What you do with it is up to you. That said, people can feel the difference between a teacher who knows their craft and one who’s winging it. This training is designed to make you the former.

  • What happens after the program?
    Toggle Icon

    After you complete your required 100 hours, you will submit your test out video and exam. Passing instructors will receive their PilatesBody Mat Training Certificate. After completion instructors will be ready to take the NPCP exam should they wish to get additional third party certification verification as Pilates is not a licensed profession.

  • I'm already certified elsewhere. Is this still worth it?
    Toggle Icon

    Yes — if what you’re looking for is a deeper system, not just another credential. Many teachers join a training like this because their existing certification gave them steps to follow, not a framework to understand. If that sounds familiar, this is for you.

  • Can I pay for Teacher Training over time?
    Toggle Icon

    Yes. We offer flexible payment plans through third-party financing providers at checkout, including options such as Affirm and Afterpay, subject to eligibility.
    Depending on approval, payment plans may include:

    • Payment amounts, APR, and available terms vary based on your eligibility and selected provider.

  • How do I choose a payment plan?
    Toggle Icon

    At checkout, select your preferred financing provider and review available payment options before completing enrollment.

  • Are there additional fees?
    Toggle Icon

    Some plans are interest-free, while others may include APR/finance charges. Your total repayment amount will be shown before you confirm.

  • Do you offer financial assistance?
    Toggle Icon

Raven Ross – Founder, PilatesBody Method

Raven has been a mover her entire life…

She trained as a professional dancer for over 20 years before finding Pilates — the missing link. Over the next decade, she became a classically trained, certified Pilates instructor, added several certifications in Barre, TRX, and trigger point release, and built a private training business with hundreds of clients, from athletes to people just trying to feel better in their bodies. Every person taught her something.

In 2021, she started sharing her passion for pilates online — not to build a brand, but because she genuinely loved it. The community that grew (now over 2.5 million strong) and the Pilates Body App that followed has motivated women across the globe to fall in love with movement, build strength and feel hotter than ever.

Creating this certification program has been the most meaningful chapter yet. Having trained as a Master Teacher Trainer through Club Pilates, Raven always knew she wanted to pass this on — not just the method, but the love for it. The PilatesBody Signature Method exists for instructors who feel that same pull toward movement, teaching, and community.

Outside the studio, she’s with her animals, on a long walk, or with a gorgeous glass of wine in hand.
