Be a group Pilates instructor. Become a private instructor. Work as a specialist. Determine the level you want to teach.
If you like working with a larger group to help a diverse number of individuals workout in a safe environment, group exercise might be for you. You'll want to look for training programs that are geared towards group certification. Most training programs are catered for certification to teach group exercise classes. If you like working with one individual to manage and achieve goals, you should look into becoming certified to teach privately. Not all pilates instructor certifications will also include specific training on how to work with individual clients, so make sure you look for a certification that also addresses this. Some pilates studios or gyms will provide you with a client list, while others will expect you to build your client base yourself. You can work with individual clients on the side, if you also enjoy instructing group classes. If you've got a background in physical therapy or sports medicine, you may want to look into becoming a Pilates specialist. You can teach courses for those in rehabilitation or for athletes. You can also get certified to teach special courses, such as pre or postnatal courses, without already having a speciality degree. Think about whether you want to be a basic mat instructor or if you'd like to be certified to teach more advanced courses. If you're newer to Pilates, you'll be more comfortable becoming a basic mat instructor before tackling more advanced certifications. An example of a more advanced training certificate would be one that also includes reformer Pilates. If you're wanting basic training, most training programs are 40-50 hours. For more advanced training, you'll be expected to put in 500 hours of training. The higher your level of certification, the more you'll be paid to teach once you're hired.
