Peak Pilates Education ›› Certifications

Launching a credible Pilates program that matched the excellence of our Spa was a top priority. We thoroughly researched all of the Pilates companies and found Peak Pilates to be the perfect match. Beyond the respect they have deservedly earned within the industry for the highest quality and beautifully crafted equipment, is their vision. Their foresight has driven well-structured certification programs that embrace the Classical Pilates work, while delivering it with intelligence and professionalism.

Certifications

CertificationsPeak Pilates certification programs are designed to be completed in a modular educational pathway, allowing you to progress at your own pace.

Both the Mat Certification and Equipment Certification programs consist of three levels, all of which are sufficiently structured for the new teacher, yet rich enough for the experienced trainer.

Lectures and presentations are combined with practical applications to prepare instructors to teach both private sessions and small group classes with confidence, clarity and success. Our comprehensive support materials include manuals and DVDs providing a wealth of information, exercise templates, cueing instructions and more.

You must complete 16 CECs every two years to keep your certification current. However, if you successfully pass the next level in your pathway, your certification is automatically extended two years.
