Ultimate Pilates Teacher Training was detailed, organized, and genuinely fun. The training was hands-on, providing real individual time to understand alignment and form. I even discovered imbalances in my own body and necessary adjustments, things I never knew about before. From day one to graduation it was a total 180 transformation. I always knew I could reach out with questions outside of studio hours, which I did, and Laura and Marissa did everything to help us succeed. By my test-out, I felt completely prepared and confident to teach. I couldn't recommend it more.

What I valued most was truly understanding Pilates - the progressions, the form, and how to build a class that flows. Marissa and Laura are so knowledgeable and informative, and they created such a warm, encouraging atmosphere. I leave feeling so much more confident in my teaching. Honestly, I'm a little sad it's ending. We became a team, and I looked forward to our weekend trainings every single month. I couldn't recommend it more.

The course moves at a great pace, never rushed, never too much at once, and it's so intimate that it feels like private training. With Laura's experience in Pilates and Dr. Marissa's physical therapy background, they make a wonderful team, so you get the best training connection for both body and mind. I loved how individual the teaching was; during our anatomy review I felt genuinely confident assessing my clients. I finished feeling prepared, supported, and ready to teach.

Laura and Marissa are amazing,  the studio, the handbooks, everything was so great. It's a truly good instructor training: the materials and the practice were both excellent and easy to understand, even for me as a non-native English speaker. I feel so much more confident and ready to teach. Thank you, Laura and Marissa!
