Testimonials

I did the CPE program with a scholarship which made the program financially possible for me. That’s one thing I love about this school. They go above and beyond to help students succeed.  I honestly never would have dreamed my career would take off as it has. I am from Brazil and my English wasn’t so good when I did the course. It was definitely a challenge, but the free online videos were super helpful and the instructors were so supportive. It wasn’t my main goal, but my English is so much improved from this program! I highly recommend this program!

Learning to teach pilates with Classical Pilates Education was the best decision I ever made! With 2 young boys, I knew I needed a flexible career. After school drop off, I am able teach at the studio all day until I leave to pick up my kids. In addition, I find that teaching clients is so rewarding. I help my clients look and feel their best. I wouldn’t trade my career for anything!

Teaching Pilates is a second career for me. I have been a nurse for over 20 years and continue to work full time as an executive nurse at Northwest Medical Center for a HCA. I have always loved nutrition and fitness and when I discovered Pilates, it became a passion. I am so glad I decided to take the leap and take the Classical Pilates Education program. I teach pilates during evenings and weekends as an escape from my day job. Teaching is so fun and also so rewarding especially to work with seniors, those with chronic back pain, and children and teens who need Pilates for posture, flexibility and strength of the mind and body.
