Mentor the Next GenerationFree PCO Instructor Network

The Pilates instructor network is part of a growing global community where everyone benefits by giving and sharing with each other. Mentors gain the satisfaction of helping develop the next generation of Pilates professionals while expanding their own teaching experience. Apprentices benefit from hands-on guidance that cannot be learned from videos alone. This mutual exchange strengthens the entire Pilates community and helps preserve authentic classical methodology for future generations. Network members choose their level of involvement, from actively mentoring multiple apprentices to simply connecting with fellow professionals worldwide.

Additionally, Certified Instructor-Trainers can purchase PCO training manuals at professional bulk rates—10% off for 10-19 paperback copies and 20% off for 20+ copies. This allows Teacher Trainers to provide their students with authentic medically-vetted resources while maintaining professional margins. For complete bulk pricing details and ordering information, visit our FAQ page.

The Apprenticeship Toolkit empowers students to approach mentors professionally while protecting studio owners from client solicitation concerns. Most apprentices are eager to assist and typically do not require payment until completing online courses and reaching intermediate certification levels. Each person learns at a different pace, so mentors and apprentices assess skills together and negotiate terms when appropriate. The agreement includes non-solicitation clauses ensuring apprentices will not compete for the facility's existing clients, giving studio owners peace of mind. Review our certification programs and FAQs for complete details on apprenticeship requirements.

In many countries, including the United States, there is no government-mandated accreditation body for Pilates certification. Instructors choose their training path based on personal and professional goals rather than legal requirements. This information can vary from country to country, so it is the student's responsibility to understand the certification standards and regulations within their own region. The Pilates instructor network welcomes Certified Instructors from all backgrounds to give back to the global Pilates community. While we cannot monitor or verify the day-to-day teaching practices of every studio or instructor worldwide, we encourage all students to research their potential mentors thoroughly before beginning any apprenticeship relationship.
