I had my first class today for becoming a reformer teacher. I am 62, so this is to become my semi retirement job. I have a super easy job in semi retirement now. However, I wanted something more interesting that provides a way to incorporate pilates reformer, uses my brain more, and offers a way to reach people in a positive way. I've had a career as a journalist and in media relations. I've also had a career as a professional portrait photographer. This teacher idea is new and different and I hope it is a good fit for me. Thanks for sharing your updated story.

I am a pilates instructor in 🇧🇷. And I love it! It is so amazing helping elderly back to their daily routine lives without pain. It’s rewarding

You could get a BA instead if you’re not that great with science. But also You only need the preqs to be a PT to get accepted into dpt school. You can major in anything. Just have to have the prerequisite. It’s never too late to be PT. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I think you should go for it, if you still feel like it. I believe in you girl! Thanks for sharing the video.

Just need full transparency here. Club Pilates is where you obtained your certification but you didn’t like the environment?!

[@Nina-dm2vw]

If you live in Australia I highly recommend becoming a reformer instructor at Studio Pilates. Such a great company to work for and they have studios all over Australia, one in New York and one in London

[@1lifewanderlust]

What was the name of the place you did your Pilates training?

[@leoninenoble]

I'm so happy I found your channel. You keep me feeling inspired for my dreams. Your success story gives me confidence.

[@paobeltran6091]

I really really admire you ... I have been overthinking this change for my I think since 3 years ago and I have not been (I am not gonna say able) ready to do it. Your video just arrive in one perfect momento...

[@Paolamarsings]

How long did it take for your to become a certified trainer? For how long did you practice before taking the training? What’s your recommendation?

[@carlyjstone]

Started my comprehensive training in August!! So excited for this journey and glad to have discovered your channel! Can you make a video about your training, like practice teaching and what it was like when you started taking clients? Feeling good but nervous 🩷

[@hyojeonglee315]

Thank u so much for sharing your journey and your thoughts. It’s really helpful for me as a person who’s been thinking about becoming a pilates instructor.. Still so much realistic things to consider before stepping into this whole journey but after watching your videos, my thoughts became more positive about taking the training !! Appreciate your videos and love your energy !!💖

[@ShaniaSamuels]

I just started my comprehensive training for Pilates and I’m excited!! Thanks for the video!❤

[@victoriahrose]

Just started a 9 month program through a pretty prestigious gym. Subscribed immediately I love this video

[@zzzward9213]

So happy I found your channel! I'm currently considering getting certified and I don't know where to begin. your channel has been a great resource. thank you so much!

[@melissa-xh1li]

omg this was so helpful for me !!!!! I'm in the same situation!

[@lislourenco8630]

Thanks for the video and for sharing your story. I am a certified Pilates instructor since last July but did not have the courage to start a career in Pilates mainly because I think I cannot compete with the Pilates instructors that are already in the market for many years already.

[@lisaalexandra_]

Thank you so much!!! Super helpful information ❤️ I was wondering, do you have any program recommendations for someone who wants to become certified in reformer Pilates??

[@lures2]

I’m thinking of going into it! I’ve been wanting to do physical therapy or Pilates as well. I’m alittle intimated but I love teaching and making people feel better and I love Pilates too. Which school do you recommend? I’m undecided on basi or a classical program..

[@RebeccaPayne-w4e]

What programs would you recommend? Looking to become instructor certified by a respectable institution.
