Thinking About Becoming a Pilates Instructor? Read This First.
So you’re thinking about becoming a Pilates instructor—amazing! You’re about to step into a deeply rewarding career that transforms lives through movement, strength, and confidence.
But before you start signing up with a training, ordering anatomy books and cueing your friends through footwork, let’s talk about one of the most important decisions you’ll make on this journey:
Where should you train?
These days, it seems like every studio is launching its own in-house training. The websites look polished, the branding is beautiful, and they promise fast-tracked certifications or guaranteed job placement. It’s tempting.
But here’s the truth:
Not all Pilates trainings are created equal.
Some programs are more about checking boxes than building real teachers. Others may only prepare you to work in one specific studio—without giving you the tools, confidence, or credibility to succeed beyond that space.
At Precision Pilates Training, we do things differently. We don’t just teach you how to instruct—we mentor you to become the kind of Pilates professional studios are looking to hire.
Here’s what makes us stand out—and why it matters for your future:
1. Two Nationally Certified Educators. 30+ Years of Experience.
You’ll learn directly from Jen Landry and Kristen Concannon, two nationally certified Pilates instructors with decades of combined experience. We’ve taught in every setting—from boutique studios to major gyms—and bring real-world insight to every lesson. We're not just certified; we're committed to shaping strong, smart, and sought-after instructors.
2. Flexible, Self-Paced Online Portal
Life is full—and learning shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Our online learning platform allows you to study at your own pace, with on-demand access to anatomy lessons, cueing breakdowns, and class programming tools. Revisit what you need, when you need it. We’re always just a click away.
3. Only 5 Sundays of In-Person Training
We respect your time. That’s why our intensive, in-person sessions are held over just five Sundays. You’ll get hands-on experience, real-time feedback, and deep mentorship—without sacrificing your life outside of training.
4. Payment Plans That Make Sense
We know this is an investment in your future. That’s why we offer flexible payment plans and accept credit cards. No huge upfront fees. Just a manageable path toward your new career.
5. A Certification That Travels With You
Unlike studio-run programs that only prep you for one location, Precision Pilates Training is recognized and respected across the U.S. Our grads go on to teach in studios all over—from Orange County to the East Coast and everywhere in between. You’re not locked in—you’re set up to go wherever your goals take you.
Before You Commit to Any Program, Ask:
Who’s teaching the training—and how long have they been doing it? Are they Comprehensively Trained (All Apparatus), Are they Accredited and Nationally Certified?
Will this certification be accepted if I want to work elsewhere?
Is there support after I graduate?
Is the program designed to benefit me—or just the studio offering it?
What studios do their current graduates work for and where?
How do I prepare for the exams?
Am I guaranteed an audition?
The Bottom Line:
Precision Pilates Training is built on a simple philosophy:
✅ Real education
✅ Real mentorship
✅ Real results
We don’t rush you through. We don’t cut corners. And we don’t disappear when the training ends. We’re here to help you become an exceptional instructor—and enjoy the process along the way.
One of the key elements that sets us apart is our emphasis on foundations. Understanding the original Pilates method and principles isn’t just “nice to know”—it’s what transforms you from someone who leads a class to someone who truly teaches movement.
The flashy, choreographed moves you see in today’s classes may look impressive, but without the building blocks of the original method, it becomes difficult to cue effectively, modify safely, or help clients progress with confidence. The foundation is what makes you credible—and capable.
When you understand how to apply the core principles of Pilates—breath, control, concentration, precision, centering, relaxation, balance, and flow etc.. —you'll not only elevate your teaching, but empower your clients to experience Pilates in its most powerful, transformative form.
