In order to successfully complete and receive the certificate, in addition to attending the modules, small exercises/homework must be completed at your own discretion.

These can be done at The Bodyworkers, in the FitLara online studio or in any Pilates studio and serve to gain even more practical experience. We recommend looking over the shoulder of as many different teachers as possible.

FAQ

Observation classes are an essential part of your Pilates training. They provide you with the opportunity to gain more practical experience by observing a variety of different Pilates instructors. This allows you to deepen your practice, see different teaching styles, techniques, and how instructors interact with their students.

Completing these observation classes is crucial because it enhances your understanding of Pilates instruction, and you'll learn new methods and insights that you can incorporate into your own teaching practice. Additionally, you are required to submit an observation log to receive your certification at the end of the training.

You have the flexibility to choose the classes for your observation classes. To support you in this, we offer various options:

Online-Studio: You can take advantage of our online studio at FitLara Online Studio. A one-year membership to this online platform is included in your training fees, allowing you to observe classes from the comfort of your own home.

In-Studio-Classes:  You can also complete 5 observation classes either in person or online at the studio, The Bodyworkers.

Other Studios: Additionally, we recommend exploring other studios for your observation classes. It's quite common to do this, and you can simply ask for observation classes at these studios.

These options ensure that you have ample opportunities to complete your observation classes in a way that suits your schedule and learning preferences.

If you have to cancel your participation in the Pilates teacher training in advance, the following cancellation terms apply:

More than 91 days before the start date: 25% of the fee is due. 15 to 90 days before the start date: 50% of the fee is due. 14 days or less before the start date: 100% of the fee is due.

These terms ensure that both parties are protected and that you have a clear understanding of the financial implications in case you need to withdraw due to illness or other personal reasons.

If you are unable to attend for personal reasons (illness or similar) during the training, we offer the option of attending the classroom days online. If this is not possible either, you must catch up on the missed lesson content yourself. We provide the teaching materials, but it would also be useful to get tutoring from classmates. However, in order to be admitted to the exam, you must attend at least 2/3 of the modules.

If you are ill on the day of the exam, you can take the exam at an individual alternative date for a fee upon presentation of a medical certificate. If you are still unable to complete the training for personal reasons, the training is deemed to have been failed.

After successfully attending the modules of the training (min. 2/3 presence), you will receive a confirmation of participation. This document acknowledges your attendance and involvement in the training sessions.

However, to obtain a certificate, which holds more significant professional value, you must meet additional requirements. Along with attending the modules, you need to pass the final exam and submit your observation log. The certificate is crucial for several reasons:

It is advantageous to have a certificate when seeking to teach Pilates in studios, as it demonstrates your comprehensive training and qualification.

It is required if you want your classes to be recognized as preventive health classes by organizations such as the ZPP (Zentrale Prüfstelle Prävention).

If you don't pass the exam (though we will work very hard together to ensure you do well), we will find a solution together. We will arrange a makeup exam date to give you another opportunity to succeed. Our goal is to support you throughout the process and help you achieve your certification.

No, you don't necessarily need any previous knowledge to join our Pilates training. However, it is beneficial to have some prior experience with Pilates to determine if you enjoy it and if it suits you. Additionally, a basic understanding of anatomy can be helpful but is not required. Our program is designed to accommodate all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, ensuring everyone can learn and grow at their own pace. If you have any further questions or need more information, feel free to reach out to us!

The teacher training is conducted in German, and the training manual is also in German. The content on our online learning platform is a mix of English and German.

I can only recommend the Pilates training! Lara, as an instructor, shared her incredible knowledge of Pilates and being a trainer with us and imparted the knowledge to us in such a friendly way that it didn't even feel like studying.

Marina was and is always available to answer our questions. The group of participants was also just perfect and the bond in the short time was super pleasant - the Bodyworkers really only have the nicest people! Thank you for this great experience.
