Learn to Teach Pilates the Authentic Way
Classical Pilates goes back to one source for us: Joseph H. Pilates
There are many ways to become a Pilates teacher, there are countless quick courses available that make you an instructor in one weekend.
But if you want to teach the true Pilates system on all apparatus, there is only one road to travel.
Joseph Pilates entrusted his work to Romana Kryzanowska, and we adhere to the method that was taught by her to her students for over 50 years.
In our training program you will learn every exercise on over 15 pieces of GRATZ® Pilates apparatus, your seminars will be taught by 2nd Generation teachers who studied with Romana and many other 2nd Generation Master teachers.
Over five seminars and over 600 hours of practical study in the studio under the guidance of 2nd Generation teachers will show you the path to the classical Pilates system.
After successful completion of the PSF Teacher training program, you will be a confident, competent 3rd Generation Pilates Teacher.
Now that’s something to be proud of.

FAQ
Not at all. Our training program program starts the day you are ready. From the day you are accepted, we start you on a weekly program of homework and required assignments. If you’re ready, you can start.
We recommend a minimum of 15-25 studio hours per week to ensure progress.
Not really. Some programs will not teach you on all of the apparatus that Joseph Pilates created nor will they teach you the complete Pilates Syllabus including the Foundational, full Intermediate and Advanced System. Some programs will allow shorter apprenticeships that do not follow a minimum requirement of 600 hours or some of the learning will happen via e-learning platforms. Our training happens in-studio, and online platform is providing added support, trainees are always under the supervision of teachers with a minimum of 6 years of teaching experience. We pride ourselves in giving you a personal, well-rounded education that will develop you into a strong, confident teacher ready to teach classical Pilates to all ages and populations.
No teacher training program can legally confer upon you the title of “Certified” Pilates teacher or Instructor. In order to be a “Certified” Pilates teacher you must complete a qualified program such as ours and then sit for the independent third party exam administered by the Pilates Method Alliance if you choose to do so. Pilates Space Florida issues you a certificate of completion as a qualified Pilates Teacher after successful completion of the program.
