Training for your whole studio
Signature Group Fitness Pilates Teacher Training, led by Erin Schirack.
This isn't a traditional Pilates certification. It takes classical Pilates principles into the pace and energy of a live group class, and teaches your instructors to think like programmers, not just teachers.
Hands-on, in your studio Group format All levels
Each training is shaped to your studio's size, format and instructor count.
What it covers
Programming, not just teaching. Classes that flow, scale and land every time.
What works in a room. The exercises built for groups, and the ones that quietly kill momentum.
Progressions and regressions in real time. Layer difficulty on the fly so every client feels challenged and successful.
Coaching many levels at once. Beginners to advanced clients in the same class, without breaking the flow.
An elevated experience. Classes that feel intentional and unmistakably your studio's own.
What your studio walks away with
A repeatable framework your team runs the same way, class after class.
Instructors who command the room instead of running through a playlist of moves.
A class that feels elevated, intentional and yours.
Higher retention, because beginners and advanced clients both feel seen in the same room.
