targeted, that build lean muscle and work to tone and transform the body at an astonishingly
fast pace.
By getting Studio Pilates® certified you are qualified to teach and work as a Pilates instructor
in the USA, Australia and New Zealand. You can start your own small business, teach in your
local Pilates studio or clinic, work in some of the nations leading health clubs, or even go on to
open your very own Studio Pilates® franchise.
Studio Pilates® training is modular, which means that it allows you to be able to start instructing
(and therefore earning money) straight away after completing your first course. This is different
to other courses which often require you to invest large sums of money and take several months
to complete. Our secret to this streamlined learning is our world-leading online training center
which gives you access to the course material before you attend the training, fast tracking your
learning.
You will start your Pilates training journey with the Studio Pilates® Matwork course module
which covers over 70 Pilates mat exercises and teaches you how to instruct each and every
one in a practical, supportive and interactive 3 day course. This course then qualifies you as
a Pilates Matwork instructor and enables you to teach Pilates mat classes. We also offer an
anatomy training module which is a prerequisite to the Matwork course if you’re new to the
fitness industry or a great optional course if you are already in the industry, but would simply
like a refresher.
After your Matwork module is successfully completed, you may choose to continue your learning
by enrolling in one of our 6 other modules. For example, you may like to take the next step with
our Pilates Reformer Course and teach Pilates reformer classes in a Studio Pilates International®
franchised studio or at other Pilates studios and health clubs in your city. Who knows where
your new career will take you.
If you’re in the fitness industry already, you’ll earn 15 CEC points with Fitness Australia and if
you become one of our official Studio Pilates® Licensed Instructors, you may even gain extra
work teaching Studio Pilates® mat classes in Licensed Health Clubs such as selected Fitness
First, Virgin Active, Go Health Clubs, Fernwood Fitness and Goodlife gyms.

Studio Pilates ® Matwork Course Outline
The Studio Pilates International® Matwork course is a 3 day comprehensive Pilates course
designed by Physiotherapists with over 12 years experience in teaching Pilates. It is tailored
specifically for the health and fitness industry but is Physiotherapy based, so you not only learn
the traditional Pilates exercises and how to teach them, but also the modern science behind
them and the latest knowledge on core stability and injury management.
The course is very practical, with small class sizes to ensure you learn:
• Over 70 basic-intermediate Pilates exercises
• Common spinal injuries and using Pilates for rehabilitation
• Programming for athletes and advanced clients – how to challenge your clients’ core
• Correct muscle activation of the deep core stabilisers
• Assessment and correction of poor movement patterns
• Assessment of posture and core stability
• Pre/post pregnancy workouts and Women’s Health related issues
• How to instruct a great Pilates mat class
On completion of the course you will be a fully qualified Pilates Instructor and will be able to
teach Pilates in either an individual or group setting.
The course is based on the latest Physiotherapy research, and incorporates activation of
Transversus Abdominus, Multifidus, Pelvic Floor, Iliacus and Deep Hip Rotators, Gluteal muscles,
Serratus Anterior, Deep Neck Flexors and Lower Trapezius.
In the course you learn not only how to activate these deep stabilising muscles at a basic
level, but also how to challenge your clients and build global core strength for more functional
rehabilitation and strength and fitness training, which enables you to program for clients of all
levels and abilities.
The Matwork course consists of 2 elements:
1. A pre-course study component (approximately 30 hours of study)
This is home study that can be completed in your own time via studying the course manuals,
doing the workout DVDs and looking at the video tutorials in the Online Training Centre. This
part of the course includes:
• Doing the Studio Pilates Workout DVD 20 times to practice – approximately 10 hours
• Watching the videos in the Online Training Centre and read over the course manuals –
approximately 14 hours
• Completing the online multiple choice pre-course exam – approximately 1 hour
2. A 3 day practical face-to-face workshop
After completing the required study, there is a 3 day practical face-to-face workshop in which
you can revise all of the material you have learned and give you the chance to practice and
refine your instructing skills and receive help and support from your instructor trainer.

So why choose our courses?
Practical and Hands on Course Work
The Studio Pilates® instructor courses are both practical and hands on. You will practice
teaching the exercises extensively in both one on one and class settings. This practical training
makes you a more confident instructor at the end of the day.
Physiotherapy Based Learning
Many Pilates instructor courses do not go through the specific rehabilitation exercises. Our
courses cover injury management and rehabilitation in detail. Our courses have been created
by physiotherapists and are physio based, but with the traditional Pilates exercises. As a result,
you learn the modern science behind the traditional exercises. We also teach you how to
challenge your clients. We have courses specifically tailored for both the clinical setting and the
fitness industry so you can be sure your clients receive great results.
Studio Pilates® Cueing Formula
The hardest thing about becoming an instructor is not learning the exercises, but learning how
to teach them. Our courses focus on ensuring you are confident to instruct each exercise – we
focus on teaching you how to teach! We have developed our own cueing formula to help you
to teach the exercises effectively and clearly.
Interactive Learning Environment
In your course, you will be able to ask as many questions as you like. The format is interactive,
rather than a lecture. The course combines formal learning but it is delivered in an informal
manner. Our courses have a great group format and dynamic – both the instructor trainers and
course participants are there to help each other and learn.
Our courses are not just about the exercises, they also deal with the body – posture, core
stability, correct activation of core muscles based on the latest research, pregnancy, sample
programs that you can use, injury management and programming.

experiencing all the exercises for the first time. You can also use the online training centre for
your ongoing study - maximising you learning before and after the course!
Small Class Sizes
Our classes are kept small to ensure your maximum learning. You have the opportunity to
practise your instructing on a range of different and diverse bodies.
No Logging of Practical Instruction Hours
The Studio Pilates® courses do not require you to log any practical instruction hours. Everything
you need to learn will be taught through the online training centre and during your course.

You are not locked in to doing a whole package of courses. This means that you can teach the
exercises that you have learnt straight away after you finish the course.

knowledge to complete your examination before you take it.
