Peak Pilates® offers a full range of the highest quality Pilates equipment and educational products for Pilates Studios, Fitness Facilities and the serious home practitioner.

Peak 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 14 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.
