Chair Teacher Training Course
Book a callChair is one of our favourites. It may be compact, but don’t let that fool you, this little powerhouse packs a serious punch. It’s one of the most dynamic and deceptively challenging pieces of apparatus out there. The Chair is all about strength, stability, and serious core control. From balance work that fires up every muscle, to powerful leg presses and sneaky upper body burners, it delivers full-body training in the smallest footprint.
Small but mighty and guaranteed to humble you (in the best way).
If you’re ready to level up your teaching or take on the Chair challenge, come and pull up a “seat” on one of our courses!
You must hold an existing Level 3 Mat or Reformer certification to book onto this course.
What’s Included
In-person practical training in a luxury boutique Pilates studio. Our internationally recognised certification will focus on the fundamental execution of each exercise along with the anatomy and biomechanics, how to cue, correct, modify and progress each exercise as well as how to programme and transition through the exercises. Layered on top of this will be additional skills such as inclusive language training, classroom management skills and pre/post natal basics so that you leave the course feeling industry ready!
Your manual and learning materials. Stay ahead of the curve with textbooks and learning materials that are refreshed monthly, so you’re always up to date with the latest Pilates trends and exercise science.
Anatomy training that’s thorough and comprehensive, yet easy to understand, delivered in a way that just makes sense!
An extensive video resource to help you review, revise, and master each exercise at your own pace.
Ongoing coaching and encouragement to keep you growing.
The Road To Certification
Once your 3-day intensive course is complete, you will then put it all into practice by completing:
- 5
Observation hours
(observing other teachers using our online platform or by attending other teachers’ classes)
- 20
Personal study hours
(practising every exercise in the manual on your own body and understanding the exercises inside out)
- 15
Practice teaching hours
(planning & delivering 15 hours of practice classes)
These hours ensure that once you pass your exams, you are ‘industry-ready’ and can teach confidently and competently in studios. Our students are highly sought after in studios as they already have hands-on experience teaching clients and therefore you are more likely to get a job and pay back your initial training investment.
It is the responsibility of each student to organise and complete these hours and you will of course need access to a Chair to do this. Many of our students rent the studio at our training centre (£30 per hour) or their local studio and then charge their clients a small fee to cover the cost. This is a bargain for the clients and means that you don’t incur any further cost!
Exam
Once these hours are logged and you feel confident and competent with your teaching, you will be eligible to take your exam. We structure our courses to set you up for success in your exam.
The Practical Exam
You’ll programme and deliver a 45-minute class to demonstrate your ability to plan & deliver in a real life studio setting. We will then ask you to teach 5 exercises at random from the manual to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the entire manual. You will need to source a client to teach, access to a Chair and this will be done with us over Zoom.
The exams are covered as part of the training price; there is no additional cost.
