220-Hour Mat Pilates & Sculpt Teacher Training
A Comprehensive Dual Training
You may have seen the 50 and 100 hour certifications circulating in Miami right now. While these programs can be a great intro, many aspiring instructors leave with a certificate but still feel unable to confidently lead a class, modify for injuries, feel confident hands on adjusting or thoughtfully build a sequence from the ground up.
We have structured our training into a 220-hour, seven-weekend program built to make you genuinely employable. You'll graduate certified in both Mat Pilates & Sculpt — the two formats Miami studios are actively hiring for — with the anatomy, cueing, programming, and presence to walk into any audition, land a job, and build a following.
Seven weekends. 70 hours of in-studio group training. Training will be led by Rose Darling, originally from LA, where she built her career training high-profile celebrity clients before bringing her expertise to Miami. You'll be learning from someone who actually built and sustained a career in this industry — across multiple formats, at multiple studios, across different cities nationwide.
Classical Pilates foundations layered with contemporary sculpt methodology, sequencing, musicality, and prop work. You'll move from foundational mat work into advanced sculpt programming, with weekly observation and practice teaching alongside the in-studio hours. By the end, you'll be ready to teach beginner through advanced group classes with confidence, and you'll have the support to find an instructor role.
What Sets This Training Apart
1:1 Mentorship
Every trainee gets dedicated time with Rose for personalized feedback on your teaching, your cueing, your presence — plus direct coaching on how to land your first studio job. Resume help, audition prep, interview practice, the works.
Two Certifications Across One Training
Most Miami programs train you in classical mat only. Ours comprehensively covers both Mat and Sculpt, because that's what studios in this city are actively hiring for right now.
Real Teaching Reps
Throughout the program, trainees teach our community classes during off-hours to our instructors, friends of the studio, and members. You'll graduate having taught real students in a real studio.
Practical Application
You'll learn the anatomy and principles behind every movement, how to modify for injuries and special populations, how to program a class from scratch, and how to bring the kind of energy that makes a room actually want to move with you.
Director Led Training
All 70 in-studio hours are taught by Rose Darling, originally from LA, where she built her career training high-profile celebrity clients before bringing her expertise to Miami. You'll be learning from someone who actually built and sustained a career in this industry — across multiple formats, at multiple studios, across different cities nationwide.
Intentionally Small
We cap each cohort at 12–15 trainees to ensure every person gets meaningful 1:1 mentorship time with Rose, real hands-on feedback, and personalized attention you would not get in a larger training setting.
Tuition is $3,700. Payment Plans are available so you can pay as you learn. A $500 nonrefundable deposit is required.
Cohorts are capped at 12–15 trainees. Spots are first-come, first-serve.
