ABOUT TEAM-PILATES®

TEAM Pilates® believes that due to the rapid increase of interest in the Pilates Method over the past ten years, it is crucial that the industry continually examine the professional standards set forth by its members.

JOB ANALYSIS
Due to the popularity of the Pilates Method, it is increasingly important to ensure that individuals offering classes and private sessions are highly trained professionals with the knowledge base to maintain the standards set by the PMA® and the Pilates Industry. National Certification® in the Pilates Method is essential in this process. Clients need to know that they are paying for and receiving a high quality product from a certified professional.
