Pilates Teacher Training
Become a Pilates Teacher!
MVP is thrilled to be hosting a teacher training certification course in collaboration with Rebel Pilates Collective (RPC), our esteemed education partner. RPC, renowned for its international Classical Pilates Certification, will kick off a course at Montclair Village Pilates in June 2025.
About the Program:
Comprehensive Curriculum: The course covers the full Pilates system as Joseph Pilates taught it, including the apparatus he invented and the order he prescribed (where applicable). Students gain nearly five years’ worth of continuing education content in addition to their primary certification.
Modern, Science-Informed Teaching: The course incorporates updated alignment protocols and adjustments based on current medical and scientific research to ensure safety and effectiveness. For example, traditional cues like “chin to chest” have been refined to avoid cervical compression.
Inclusive and Adaptable Training: Our program addresses common pathologies, accessibility considerations, and modifications for all body types, ensuring that our graduates can teach a wide range of clients with confidence and compassion.
Ethics and Professionalism: RPC puts emphasis on creating a healthy, inclusive studio culture by teaching ethics and professionalism alongside movement techniques. This sets graduates apart as thoughtful, ethical instructors.
Lifelong Learning: RPC alumni can audit any module or the entire course—for free—at any time. We’re committed to removing barriers to continued education, and fostering a supportive, lifelong learning community.
No CEC Requirement: Unlike other programs, we do not require continuing education credits (CECs) to maintain certification. While we encourage ongoing learning and support studios requiring such professional development. It’s simply the mindset of RPC that once a diploma is earned from the education provider, it should never be taken away. Should a regulatory body require CECs for licensing in the future, we will support our graduates in fulfilling those requirements.
Together, Rebel and MVP are excited to continue to bring quality Pilates to all people. Rebel Pilates Collective was born in 2012, out of the demand for highly skilled, capable, and compassionate Pilates teachers who possess integrity and professionalism. Rebel graduates are highly sought after by boutique studios and national fitness chains alike, which means students can see a return on their investment quickly. Some go on to own studios as well.
