GRADUATE SUCCESS STORIES

Our proprietary Innercore Pilates Teacher Training is the #1 recommended professional development training in the East Bay because it’s:

• Time-Efficient: our graduates do about a third of their training in our online portal, on their own time. And our in-person sessions are conducted over the course of 4 weeks, tops. Our graduates typically find their first paying job as a Pilates Instructor within the very first month after graduation, commanding a pay rate of $30/hour or more

• Trauma-Informed: we teach our trainees how to conduct sessions and classes within their proper Scope of Practice, guided by principles of trauma-informed facilitation that are designed to make Pilates classes more inclusive and welcoming to students who are often left behind or othered in a traditional wellness studio setting: older folks, fat people, BIPOC, disabled, queer and/or neurodiverse

• Focused on Chronic Pain and Injury: our teacher training centers around sound strength and fitness practices specifically formatted to help post-rehab students recover from pain, injury and surgery. The exercises, the sequencing, and the cueing all come together to create an environment that is truly healing and supportive even to our most fragile, deconditioned clients. We’re proud of how accessible Innercore Pilates is for so many different kinds of students.
