Instructor Training
The information throughout this page is meant to give you an idea of what we are looking for when selecting anyone to come through Instructor Training at form Pilates. Please give it a good read. If after reading it all you feel that form Instructor Training is for you, we would love to hear from you!
Should you be selected to be part of our next training group, you must be available to attend 4 weekends of training.
Instructor Auditions: July - TBD on dates
How Does Instructor Training Work?
First we host auditions to select who will go through training. How many people we take with each training is dependent on the scheduling and staffing needs. We train people to specifically teach at form Pilates.
The actual training runs approximately a month an half long and consists of two parts:
1. The Intensive, which is about 4 weekends consisting of learning, writing and studying all of the exercises from the form Training Manual.
2. The Mocks, which are free classes taught by you to form employees, friends and family. These are hosted at the studio during times that we don't have scheduled classes.
What happens during the audition?
In regards to what we expect to see in an audition, we want to see the best version of you on the microphone. Expect to lead us through a 5-10 minute workout. We are looking for someone who commands the room, understands how the body moves, brings energy and knows how to have fun. (We will send you the exercises we expect to see in the audition, so don't worry about coming up with a routine on your own). Most importantly, we want to see your personality shine!
Do I need to have a certification before the audition?
No. We do not require a pilates certification to go through training at form. Previous teaching or coaching experience in a group fitness or movement setting is a plus but also not required.
What is the best way to prepare for auditions and/or training?
TAKE A CLASS!
We do not expect our instructors to have a certification before going through training, but we do expect our trainees to have at least 20 classes underneath his/her belt. You will learn the most by having already experienced class. The more classes you have under your belt, the more you will be familiar with what we teach and how we teach. This ultimately sets you up for success in completing training.
What does the training cost?
Because we train specifically for people to join the form team as an instructor, we currently do not charge for training.
