Choosing the right Pilates Instructor Training Program is essential to your success and longevity in the field!

Becoming a top quality instructor, who understands this complex modality of training, is challenging, but, with this course, you will fully grasp the concepts of WHY Pilates (the Method) was created.

Jodi has been practicing Pilates since 1999 and is certified through PhysicalMind Institute, which was the FIRST OFFICIAL Pilates Certifying program. Founded in 1997, this program set the standards for all others to follow. Jodi has worked with many elders throughout her career and loves to pass on and share the history and knowledge of Pilates with those she works with and trains.

FBP’s training program entails a deep focus on understanding the body and what the body needs to be healthy, fit, and mobile, all with the true work of Joseph H. Pilates as the focus.

Our program has over 500+ hours of comprehensive Pilates training which includes learning and practicing on all forms of apparatus. The course will teach you how to take Joseph Pilates fundamentals and transfer those fundamentals on to our unique pieces of state of the art Stott equipment: Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, as well as use of all props. *See Pricing Below
