In Person Classroom
LEARN FROM YOUR MENTOR FACE TO FACE
This is where the magic happens. Over 3 immersive 3-day weekends, you'll explore movement with your peers, get individualised feedback as you progress through the repertoire, learn Pilates in your own body, and hone your teaching in a fun, supportive environment where the studio becomes your playground.
Get eyeballs on you so you're actually doing Pilates — not just exercising on a reformer.
Our face-to-face workshops mean you walk away certified not just with a piece of paper, but with a deep understanding of the work. Be respected as a Pilates professional from day one.
Practice Pilates While You Learn
50 Classes At Encore — Included.
Here's the dirty secret of most Reformer & Mat certificates: they don't include self-practice hours. That means students are left to find a studio willing to take them on — or fork out $5,000 to buy their own reformer just to get the hours signed off.
Not here.
Every student receives a 50-Class Pack at Encore Pilates, valued at $2,200 — included in your program.
That's your self-practice, your observation hours and your immersion in real classes, all covered. While other schools send you hunting for studio time, your hours are already taken care of. Combine that with one-on-one mentoring across your three face-to-face weekends, and you get the hands-on practice you deserve to turn your love of Pilates into a profession.
Everything Happens Here. With The Best In Darwin.
Most studios physically can't offer what we do — because they aren't equipped to, and their staff don't have the training to support you.
At The Pilates Professional, every hour you need to certify can be completed right here in the studio:
- Observation hours
- Self-practice
- Shadow teaching
- Practice teaching
- Exam hours
It's all part of the package. You're never sent away to find a studio that'll take you on, never left to figure it out alone.
And here's what truly sets us apart — who you learn from.
Other reformer studios are staffed by instructors with basic training. Ours are different. Every one of our teachers is certified to industry regulation standards as a minimum — and most sit well above that. The majority are career teachers with years and years of experience, the kind of depth you simply can't fake.
That experience becomes yours. You absorb it in your own body, in your own student-teaching practice, surrounded by the most respected instructors in Darwin.
You're not just connected to the source of Pilates and its lineage — you're supported by the highest-qualified teachers in the Territory every step of the way.
Reformer & Mat — A Deeper Foundation
While Reformer is all the rage, our program includes both Reformer and Mat — because it opens more doors for your career and gives you a deeper foundation in the Pilates work that sets you apart from the typical reformer-only training available today.
Our training is recognised by The Pilates Association of Australia, and Comprehensive Instructors receive 2 Certificates of Completion.

Hi, I'm Katie Crane, founder of Pilates Pro Academy.

Pilates literally changed my life in the most positive way and it helped me find confidence in my own body until I was so blown away by what was happening to me that I just had to share it with the World.
Fast track nearly 2 decades and I now have the honour of turning your love of Pilates into a Profession.

This journey is going to change your life in ways that you didn't even realise, and all you have to do is say yes to the possibility.
Becoming a Pilates instructor isn't just about getting a certificate. It's about choosing a path of self growth, self worth and self expansion so that you can serve others.
I invite you to take this journey with us and make a change for the better.
