Certification course · Metro Manila
Go from loving your Pilates class to leading one. Master the classical mat repertoire, learn to adapt it for any body, and step into one of the fastest-growing corners of the fitness industry.
Many people who dream of teaching Pilates get stuck in long, expensive training, or never start at all because they feel hindi pa ako ready.
We built this course to get you qualified, confident and class-ready in weeks, without putting your life on hold. You'll spend less time memorising lists and more time doing what an instructor actually does: watching, cueing, adjusting, encouraging.
Mat + Reformer = Complete Pilates Coach. That combination is what studio owners look for.
Because a great instructor teaches the person, not the choreography.
Understand who's on the mat: their body, their history, what they came for today.
Train your eye. See alignment, breath and compensation before you say a word.
Cue, modify and progress. Small, clear corrections that the client can feel.
Build classes that grow with your clients, and a teaching style that's your own.
The complete classical mat repertoire, plus the modern adaptations you'll need for real clients of every age and ability.
You'll cue your batchmates, be cued by them, and get feedback from your tutor every session.

Reformer studios are the part of the industry everyone's talking about, and studios want instructors who can teach both. Once you hold your Mat qualification, the Reformer course builds directly on it.
Batch dates are confirmed with the priority list first. Tell us which format suits you.
In Ireland, graduates of this course have gone on to teach in studios, build fully booked classes of their own, become tutors with us, and open studios. We want the same stories told here, in Filipino voices.
These are real words from our graduates in Ireland, where we've been training coaches since 2009. Our first Philippine batch is next. Ikaw na ba ang susunod?
“I'm 44 and have recently completed my PT and Fitness class course with Image Fitness! At the beginning I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was the best decision I made. I met some amazing people and we continue to stay in touch.”
“I signed up to shift my career into fitness from corporate marketing tech. The content was super interesting and taught interactively: class tuition, online videos, quizzes, real world assignments and on the gym floor.”
“The aftercare and support given by Image is second to none. Simon was incredibly helpful, not only helping me get my first job in a gym but also providing practical career advice.”

No. You should enjoy Pilates and have taken some classes, but you don't need to be advanced or naturally flexible. The course teaches each exercise from its foundations, including the modifications you'll use with real clients.
Mat Pilates is the foundation: the classical repertoire, the principles and the teaching skills. Reformer Pilates applies those skills on the reformer machine used in most boutique studios. Mat is the prerequisite for Reformer, so you start with Mat and add Reformer when you're ready.
Between 5 and 11 weeks depending on the format: an intensive weekend format, or alternate Saturdays over a longer period. The Reformer add-on is delivered across four weekends, including the exam weekend.
The Mat Pilates Instructor qualification is accredited by REPs Ireland and aligned to EQF Level 4. The Reformer Pilates qualification is recognised by REPs Ireland and endorsed by PD:Approval.
That's the goal. You'll be qualified to teach mat classes in studios, gyms, condos and community spaces, or to start your own. With Reformer added, you can apply to studios that run reformer classes. We also help you with the practical side: how to approach studios and how to price your own classes.
Yes. Pilates gives you a second skill set that clients ask for, and it changes how you see movement in everything else you teach. Many of our Pilates students are working coaches adding another income stream.
The course is blended for exactly this reason. You study the theory online in your own time — on your break, after your shift, on the commute — and you come in for practical coaching days, which we plan around weekends.
Tell us your shift pattern when you enquire and we'll show you which batch fits.
Fees for the Metro Manila Founding Batch are being finalised and will be sent first to everyone on the priority list. Installment plans will be available so you can spread the cost, and the full fee is shown upfront. Walang hidden charges.
Slots in the Founding Batch are limited. Join the priority list and be first to see the dates, the venue and the fees.
No pressure, no hard sell. Tell us where you are now and where you want to be. We'll walk you through the schedule, the fees and the installment options, and you decide in your own time.
Kaya mo 'to. We'll be with you every step.
