Pilates on the Weekend: Shortcut or Standard?
from Core with Shawna Beardsley | A Pilates Podcast · host Shawna Beardsley, NCPT
In this episode, we dive into the rising trend of weekend Pilates teacher trainings and question whether these fast-track programs are serving or harming the industry. As more studios pop up offering “free instruction” in exchange for labor or low-cost certifications, we’re seeing a concerning dip in teaching quality. We’ll explore why a standardized 450-hour certification is critical to upholding Pilates’ integrity and what studio owners, clients, and aspiring instructors need to know before signing up.
