I know there are tons of different companies that provide Pilates education and certification, but are there any that are better/ more respected and recognized in the Pilates community? I’ve heard great things about PeakPilates and Basi. The teacher that I have been going to at a boutique studio has now started her own teacher training for $3000 dollars for 4 days of in person teaching, and the rest is on your own time. You can become reformer certified in just one month. She asked me to join it, and I’m having mixed feelings. Always wanted to be a Pilates instructor, but is one woman’s “method” the same caliber as peak or basi? I feel like everyone is doing teacher trainings at boutique studios, but as educated Pilates instructors/ studio owners would you trust a training like this to give you the full anatomical, cueing, transition, and actual form instructions or would you prefer to hire a candidate with a more widely recognized certificate?

Tell me if I’m crazy. But I’ve been going to the same studio, same instructor for a while and she decided to start teacher training. She now has like 4 groups a month to train while on top of instructing classes at the studio. I do admire her work ethic and determination, she is a badass. But, her social media constantly consists of posts like “Resting before 6 mat midterms tonight! At [studio} my body is about to break yikes”. Or “Bloodshot eyes.. been working since 8am! 17 hour
Sunday work day...
Time to be in bed till I have to go to [studio] tomorrow
afternoon.
Phone on DND”
Idk but it’s just a little too much as she comes to class and asks us “what do you guys want to do today”. I’ve been a fitness instructor for over a year, and asking the class what to do, in my opinion, shows lack of preparation. Anyway, let me know if I’m overthinking/ overreacting LOL
