We teach reality first

Our philosophy, in four principles. Real bodies, real clients, real studios.

01 / 04

Confidence over aesthetics

We build instructors who trust themselves, not just ones who look the part.

Fundamentals before flair

Master the basics that keep clients safe, then make them your own.

Adaptability and real-world coaching

Read the room and adjust on the fly, because real classes are never predictable.

Long-term sustainability

A career and a body that last, not a burnout in twelve months.

Skills that set you apart

You'll graduate with what studios actually hire for.

Pilates fundamentals Real-world anatomy Safe, inclusive teaching Effortless class planning Client growth and progression Communication and coaching Technique and correction Professional confidence

Apprentice hours, per modality

Knowing Pilates and teaching Pilates are two different things. This is where the skill is built.

30
hours self practice
30
hours practice teaching
15

Up to 50% of your observation and self practice can be done online. Practice teaching is in person. Your logbook is due up to 16 weeks after your final face-to-face days.

Common questions

How long does the course take?

There's no fixed finish line. Most students complete from 8 weeks onwards, paced to your dedication, feedback rounds and apprentice hours.

Is it online or in person?

Both. You'll attend face-to-face practical days and complete your theory online in Kajabi, on your own schedule.

Do I need any experience?

None at all. No prior teaching or qualifications are required, we build you up from the foundations.

When do I get my materials?

A TME welcome pack will be given upon arrival to your practical session, and your digital access is granted before your first practical day!

Recognised. Respected. Ready when you are.

Nationally recognised by AUSactive and Pilates Aotearoa, worth 20 CPD points, and accepted by studios worldwide.

    10/10! My Educator was so thorough and helpful throughout the intake. I felt so comfortable asking any questions/running anything on my mind by her.
    As for the online modules they were so detailed and I feel so confident and comfortable heading into the industry 💚🫶🏼

  • jasmin c

    Absolutely loved this course and how it goes into detail on anatomy, exercises and modifications for both injury and pregnancy. Felt so prepared to teach during my practice teaching hours and felt comfortable in giving modifications for injuries and discomfort whilst teaching a flow. Would 100% recommend

    Absolutely amazing experience in the small, Intensive Pilates Reformer training at Train Me Education!

    The small focused group setting made a huge difference for me. It created the perfect learning environment- supportive, calm and distraction free.
    The Educator’s knowledge is second to none. She doesn’t just teach Pilates, she breaks it down in a way that makes everything click.

    I really loved having the opportunity to learn face to face, ask direct questions in the moment and receive tailored 1 on 1 feedback throughout the lessons. With such a small group there was time to absorb, practice, and truly understand what we were learning.

    I Highly recommend this style of a small intensive program to anyone looking to maximise their learning & dive deep into their Pilates teacher training with an educator who genuinely cares about your success!

    The Train Me Education course has been A-Mazing! The theory has been filled with in depth information making me feel knowledgeable about the body and pilates industry. The face to face days were also so informative equipping us with a wide range of exercises, progressions, regressions, pregnancy modifications and injury modifications. My educator really made sure we feel ready for the ‘real world’

  • Melanie R

    I went to train me education as a qualified trainer looking to upskill - best decision ever! Such a supportive environment and truly such a comprehensive qualification. I would recommend train me to anyone looking to get qualified or for further education

    I recently completed the Train Me education Mat & Reformer Pilates course, and I can't recommend it enough! The entire course and all the content was incredibly well-structured which made studying so enjoyable. My Educator is amazing, she’s so knowledgeable and supportive and made everyone feel so comfortable at our Face2Face sessions. Thank you girls for being extremely patient with me!!!
