We know there are a lot of courses available for trainers seeking Pilates certification. Mark Trudeau, who received his certification from Physical Mind in New York City, has developed a course we think is the best of all possible options.

Passing on the Quantum Fitness tradition of tailoring workouts to their clients, Trudeau will teach you not only how to instruct the basic exercises, but the theory behind infinite variations of those exercises so they can be adapted for different people.

More importantly, Trudeau's extensive experience as an instructor comes through in our small, inclusive classes -- students and teacher work together in a warm, supportive group that makes learning enjoyable and decidedly non-stressful.


Why Quantum Fitness Pilates Teacher Training Stands Above the Others

Size: Our classes are small -- never more than ten people.

Thoroughness: Our classes are comprehensive. We don't charge you for numerous workshops to learn each additional machine; one course trains you on all the machines.

Flexibility: With extended opening hours, numerous machines, and many trainers to watch, we make it easy to fulfill your personal training and observation hours -- but we're also happy for you to fulfill those requirements at other approved studios with which you may be involved.

You Pay Only Once: If you've gone through our teacher training program, you're always welcome to come back and get a refresher class. We encourage our students to sit in on future courses because, as you improve as a trainer, you will find yourself hearing and learning new insights from the same lecture.

We're a Constant Resource: Because we are a teaching studio, many of our current trainers went through our teacher training program. You will often hear trainers bouncing ideas off each other as they try to optimize a workout for a new client -- and they're eager to help out new teacher trainees too. Once you become a part of the Quantum Fitness environment, you will find an unending resource of experience in the other trainers around you.
