Our 100 Hour - Mat Certification Program is divided into two sections: Courses (Modules) and Practice.

The Courses Modules

The first section consists of 3 weekend modules (Levels 1–3), carefully designed to immerse you in the philosophical, technical, and academic aspects of Pilates.

Module 1= Beginner Level

Module 2 = Intermediate Level

Module 3 = Advanced Level

Across these three modules, you will progress from foundational to advanced Mat exercises. While demanding, each level is designed to challenge you and create transformative results.

The Practice

The second section is the 100-hour apprenticeship, where you apply what you’ve learned to real bodies and real teaching. Hours are structured as follows:

Observation: 25 hours

Observing certified instructors teaching private and semi-private sessions. Up to 10 of these hours may be completed online through Pilatesology.com or/and Pilates Glow student portal.

Teaching: 30 hours

Begins immediately after Module 1. Teaching is completed with practice clients you provide (family, friends, or referrals).

Shadowing / Assisting: 10 hours

Assisting certified instructors in live classes to gain hands-on teaching experience.

Personal Practice: 35 hours

• 25 hours: Personal workouts on mat or apparatus, alone or using the Student Portal/online lessons.

• 10 hours: Taking semi-private mat classes with a certified instructor.

All teaching and personal practice hours must be completed at Pilates Glow studio under the supervision of a certified Pilates teacher.

One Final Certification Test.

From the start of the course if you are able to put in the suggested weekly hours it should take 5 months each module.

The training is 5 months so coming 5 hours a week is suggested. If you are having a bad week, maybe you won't even have time to come to the studio. But you can always come more or less if you have to. Try to stay as consistent as possible so you can finish the training in a timely manner and start building your clientele.

We recommend that students complete at least 10 Mat classes before joining the program. This helps ensure you feel comfortable with the exercises and familiar with the Pilates method as you begin your training. Admission into the Teacher Training Program is not guaranteed, and participation is subject to approval.

Please note that students who started their training for a Mat Certification elsewhere will be required to begin the program from the beginning with Pilates Glow.

The Bridge Program is only offered for the 600-hour certification. For other programs, we do not offer a formal Bridge Program option for students who began training at another studio.

If you have specific questions about your training history or options, please contact Sarah Martin directly.

Yes, there will be time to come and do your required hours when you can fit them in. That is why this program is so great, because you will be able to make it around your schedule. If you still have a full time job but looking to add this in or change careers, this is so flexible!

Yes. You will be allowed to do some hours at home. If it is an online class or with a teacher, it will need to be pre-approved by Sarah Martin.

If you miss any module dates, it is your responsibility to make up the missed time at your discretion. You are welcome to observe future modules at a later date for a fee of $100 per day. Additionally, recordings of every exercise are included in your program and are available online through the student website. Access them anytime using your login credentials and passcode.

The 100 Hour - Mat Certification Program test out day is going to be held at the end of all 3 Modules. Sarah Martin’s mentorship will help you guide the timing.

If you fail your 90-minute test you will have to wait 2 weeks before taking it again, in which you will be charged a re-testing fee of $150. So please make sure you are ready to take your test before booking.

The 100-Hour Mat Certification Program test is taken after all course modules and required practice hours have been completed. During the 90-minute exam, you will teach a 50-minute class to multiple participants, whom will be selected by Pilates Glow.

Following the class, there will be a 40-minute practical and verbal Q&A session where you may be asked to demonstrate or teach specific exercises using props. The session will conclude with a review of your test notes and overall performance.

The 100 Hour - Mat Certification Program is $2000.
