Pilates Teacher Training Overview
Momentum is a nationally renown teacher training facility with over 250 trainees in 30 states and foreign countries including Canada, Australia, England, and Germany. Momentum Studio Certifications are designed to meet and maintain the highest industry standards with vision for the future. Momentum is recognized by the Pilates Method Alliance as a Comprehensive Educational Facility. See our FAQ section for more information about the PMA and their guidelines for training programs.
Upon completion of our training courses, trainees will be skilled in both the exercise system itself and more importantly, the philosophical aspects of Pilates. Our focus lies primarily in the basic principles developed by Joseph Pilates, the original form and the biomechanics of movement, as well as the common threads between the movements.
From this foundation, the trainee will be capable of creating his or her own variety of exercises geared for the specific needs of individual clients, all based in the Pilates methodology. Coupled with protocols from Joseph Pilates' original exercises, modification and variations, trainees learn to teach with much more than a generic repertoire. This program prepares the trainee to actually go to work with real people and real situations.
The Pilates Studio Certification course consists of daily exercise breakdown, practical teaching exercises and participation in Pilates classes. In addition to experiencing and learning to teach the Pilates repertoire, the student will learn the applicable anatomy and contraindications for various physiological conditions such as osteoporosis and degenerative disc disease. The course will provide information necessary for the student to work with clients from high-energy health clubs to rehabilitative work.
The Lecture portions of the training program is divided into 4 intensive 3-day weekends. For review and reinforcement, trainees are allowed to retake the Intensive once within one year for no additional cost.
