I'm writing from Malaysia. I am keen to learn and teach pilates, but the ones available in malaysia is limited and they are so expensive! They are going for at least usd4-5k, excluding more ++ for exams or whatever else....i feel that it is a rip off for education? Also i wanted to go for some BASI, classical and STOTTS classes to have a feel of what their methods are, but I'm not allowed to go for group lessons....again i can only go for private lessons which are so expensive! Help, please someone share their experiences with me and is this common practice?? Thank you.

All they want is money 😮

THIS WAS SO Helpful!

I thoroughly listened to all your ideas and it is so interesting! I live in Seoul, we have a very different industry market. Most of the Pilates are hired by the studio owners and get paid hourly within an agreed hour fee. I am curious where you live! It must be different in where you live. 😮

****** Please look at your local community college for teacher certification***** Ex: My local community college. Is offering a price of $686 for program. This includes knowledge of Mat, Reformer, Auxiliary, Cadillac, and Chair. Based on your income, certification could be free by signing up for a fee waiver. Making all classes Free to you 🎉

I cant hear this and the CC is greyed out. Anyone else with this issue or advice as to why I am having this difficulty? ( all other YT videos are fine audio-wise)

Very grateful to have found your channel!!!!! It is so so helpful

I wish u have a video sharing tip trick to sell sessons to client after body assessment and testing class first time…

Totally agree with you. I should just focus/enroll map pilates instead of taking too much time and money with the comprehensip pilates instructor course. Im now struggling with too much equipments and the name of the exercise for each indivitual exercise.

Hi, thank you so much for your informational video ! I am considering in training to be a Pilates instructor while also studying in college. Do you know anyone who’s done both? I haven’t found any online videos so I am wondering if it’s possible. My ultimate plan is to become a PT and I was thinking of Pilates to be a side job (on the weekends) while I study pt school and then hopefully I can marry them both once I graduate pt school. Do you know of anyone with a similar path?

Emm, great video overall

Hi! Any chance you have a blog post or something with the anatomy resources you found helpful?

Hi, I really appreciate your videos and how you explain things, I still struggle to make up my mind to jump into this community and so hard to find a right training course to start with. But thank you for all your infomations to help me to understand.

I appreciate your honesty. I am an esthetician and we have all the snake oil salesman too.

Who did you go through for your training?

This is super helpful! Thank you so much for sharing!

my respect me lady! Pilates no iPhone allowed !

Very informative thank you

I know I'm like 4 years too late lol, but I enrolled in mat certification and hope to eventually get my reformer. But due to the money, working full time and being a mom I wanted to wait before diving into the full certification for at least a year or so. Especially due to how intense the hours are increased plus how it is very costly. Also gives me a chance to get in as a sub for mat classes and gain more experience. So to hear you say if you could do it again you would wait before entering into comprehensive makes me feel so much better about the decision to wait a bit. Thank you for the video very honest and informative .

Thank you!

Mmm

Hi Alex, I'd like to have a more in-depth conversation about this topic, how do I add my email into the list? Thank you very much!

Actually Pilates is more about bones and how the bones move wither within a joint or in a chain and the sheath covering the nerves and spinal cord

Wow, thank you so much this helped a lot. I have been looking at my Club Pilates teacher training classes and looking at the price range considering what i need to do as a full time worker!

Basically profit oriented industry As everyone has bills to pay I do pilates for fun and health… i am retired…. have enough money to live modestly- i did a comprehensive course to understand the movements and the major piiates tools- i actually learnt heaps from the online teaching videos from USA but little benefit from the workshop in my own country- wasting time- an instructor spent 1-2 hours telling us his skiing holidays in Europe

How, this is so similar to the dance teaching industry! So eye-opening- thank you :)

Thank you, so in-depth and detailed. Really appreciate your honest :) Kelly

Wow, I have just found you randomly. So sad but so true. I did a full comprehensive program and I am so disappointed about it. I have spent £5000 and I still did not get any certificate because I don’t feel confident enough to give the 3 exams. I almost feel like I have just wasted money and time also I feel kind of robbed to some instances. Anyway I don’t know even if I will ever be able to teach.

Iam a bootcamp trainer and new people simple have no understanding of movement so a new person Wil do what there trainer saying, and think it's good coz they have no experience. So think this is de reason.

Stumbled upon this video. Thank you for sharing your honest opinion, really appreciate the perspective. You’re v radiant! 💕

This person is not meant for teaching. She is still waffling 3 mins in. She needs a short sharp clear introduction and she needs to be more disciplined in her delivery. She's eeeh and umm..... and her speech inflections are consistantly wavy and difficult to understand. She puts a focus on herself and forgets that this is for an audience. She says that she got negative feedback - well - I think that she needed to work out that critical words are needed sometimes. Also, "people in studies don't care what certification you have" is a massive generalization. It's disrespectful.

I think your content is very helpful information but its so hard to hear you :((

mostly negative things

I appreciate your transparency. I am looking to become a Pilates instructor and I'm doing my homework right now. Your videos are very informative. Thank you

Alex, thank you for clarifying this. I totally agree with your values and your concepts! I absolutely agree with what you're talking about in thisi video and have a good insight of the education facility you are talking about. The formula I teach creates transformations over and over again. My clients come to be because they have had enough of false information on social media and online. They come from overwhelm, not happy working for someone else, not managing to get by and living paycheck to paycheck. I offer them the possibility to gain a new skill in helping others, which not only gives them personal satisfaction but offers them a very healthy and profitable lifestyle. My students are fully comprehensively trained under the Romana Krysanowska and Lolita San Migeul's lineage. Pilates teachers have struggled over the past couple of years, but I have seen a huge influx of people wanting to become teachers and run their own business because they want to be independent! I'm loving what I do and I thank all my teachers and my previous accountancy background for the skills I can pass on to these people! Sending you love and light!!!

Alex, my goodness what a topic you hit in this video! You give sound advice and great to see you built your explanation from the ground up. Absolutely, figure out your break even point to figure out how much you need to be making annually then hourly. Teacher rates vary from town to town, county to county and state to state but there are ways of standardising your Pilates teaching rate. Should you be working for a studio, should you own your own business and open up your own studio? All these answers vary on how you plan to work. I hear your concepts and use a similar structure when I coach my students to become certified Pilates teachers and run their own businesses.

I really wished I had watched this video before I picked a program. I thought I asked enough questions but there was sooooo much they didn’t tell me about requirements to pass the cert exam and the amount of self teaching I would have to do, lack of support for a place to use equipment to get teaching hours in, the crazy amount of anatomy and postural analysis requirements, and all of the extra fees for books and exam fees

This was very helpful - certainly wish I had watched your videos before signing up for a teachers training program. I registered without understanding all the pitfalls. The cost and schedule have both proved impractical for me. I'm researching how to get a refund without burning bridges.

you say um a lot for a teacher

you say ummm a lot. mm

Thank you for this video! Very helpful! Now I need to take a step back and reconsider....

Where did you got your reformer from? Thank you fir this video.

I wish you’d share what company this was. I’m researching a program and all the information is overwhelming. Thank you for posting this.

I would think you would want one that has continued education requirements ! Verse get a certification with no where to grow

Best 17min spent, thanks for the insights :)

Thank you, you have such constructive questions and your clients are lucky to have such a concerned and thorough instructor.

🙌🏼 thank you for your honesty. This has been so helpful

hourly rate is typical . anything before , after, travel, breaks etc… come on you’re fooling yourself.
