Pendleton Pilates Teacher Training & Certification Program (PPTTCP)
Pendleton Pilates is pleased to offer a comprehensive Teacher Training and Certification Program in Foundation and Intermediate Mat and Reformer work.
PPTTCP is designed for individuals who exhibit a passion for Pilates and come into the training with better than average awareness of the body. Further, we’ve designed the onsite program for those who can take advantage of Pendleton Pilates four Cincinnati locations as their ongoing training facility. If you do not live in the Greater Cincinnati area, please ask about how we can tailor our training program to fit your needs.
In four-month training cycles, candidates can begin their training at Pendleton Pilates via private instruction with Pendleton Pilates instructors, open Group Reformer instruction, open Mat classes, observation and weekly apprentice workshops. The Certification Program culminates in an intensive weekend training program where students will test out by teaching a Mat class, an hour-long session designed for the first-time student and a Group Reformer class designed for the intermediate student.
The Pendleton Pilates Teacher Training and Certification Program includes:
10 private sessions at Pendleton Pilates studios
Free Mat class
Free solo workouts (based on studio availability)
Free access to Group Reformer classes (based on studio availability)
Weekly apprentice workshops
Observation hours

About Certification
There is currently no governing body that decides who can certify teachers or validates certification programs for Pilates instructors. There are weekend certification programs and year-long apprentice programs.
We have tried to create a program that bridges the gap between the weekend and the year-long program and allows complete immersion into our studio system for a three-month period. Our certification means that we believe the student is competent to teach a Mat class, a Group Reformer class and to introduce a new student to Reformer work. More important, we will not certify someone who we wouldn't have as a teacher of our own clients.
