IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

As with all Pilates Instructor Certification Programs, Teacher Training tuition is paid by the trainee. The certification belongs to the instructor individually, giving graduates the freedom to take their Pilates career wherever they choose.

The apprenticeship is a unique opportunity to begin working as an Apprentice Instructor within multiple Club Pilates locations throughout the Des Moines metro while completing your certification.

Because of the competitive Apprentice pay structure, many trainees are able to recoup the cost of tuition within just a few months of teaching while working toward full certification, at which time pay opportunities increase further.
