Fusion Evolution Comprehensive Pilates Training Program

Details

The Fusion Evolution Pilates Training program is a response to the typical modern Pilates training programs that are available today. Jennifer Gianni was one of the first Balanced Body Master Instructors and taught that program for 16 years.

 

Balanced Body provides Pilates education for every stage of your career. We are committed to supporting your personal and professional growth. Whether you want to become a gifted Mat instructor, an inspiring Reformer teacher or a comprehensively trained Pilates professional, Balanced Body connects you to the widest array of educational offerings in the world.

You will be trained by Fusion’s Master trainers with 20+ years of experience, thousands of hours of teaching and rehabilitation experience and who have trained and apprenticed with first, second and third generation teachers.

Our program offers three levels of Pilates Instructor Education: Mat, Reformer and Comprehensive. Each level is offered in affordable modules so you can take your first course now and continue your training next week, next month or next year, whichever works best for you. Each module is designed to allow you to start teaching quickly and to continue learning as you progress.

Requirements for Completion

To become a fully qualified Fusion Evolution Pilates Instructor, students must complete the following requirements:

  • Balanced Body Movement Principles Module
  • Balanced Body Mat Modules 1-3 Instructor training or equivalent
  • Balanced Body Reformer Modules 1-3 Instructor training or equivalent
  • Balanced Body Cadillac/Tower Module- Course work, written and practical test (18 hours)
  • Balanced Body Chair/Barrel Module- Course work, written and practical test Chair (12 hours) Barrel (6 hours)
  • Anatomy (required before Reformer Test out – not required to sign up for modules)
  • 45 Personal practice hours and 105 Teaching hours or 35 Personal sessions, 20 observations hours and 95 teaching hours
  • Practical test

This is 9 Balanced Body Modules plus Anatomy.

Total hours for completion of full program: 520 hours (not including anatomy)

Upon completion of all of the requirements, a certificate of completion as a Balanced Body Pilates Instructor will be issued.

Reformer and Other Apparatus Final Exam and Certification

Once instructors have completed all of the Reformer and/or Apparatus course work and hours, they must pass a practical exam demonstrating their teaching ability. Exams will be regularly scheduled in different areas of the world. If instructors are not able to test out due to geographical challenges, testing out by video can be arranged. If a student is completing both the Reformer and the Apparatus sequence, they will not need to test out separately on the Reformer and the Apparatus.

The final test out consists of an observation of a session with a client or an apparatus class. The specific requirements will be determined prior to the testing. During the exam we will be observing and rating the instructor’s skills in the following areas:

  • Correct set up and execution of the exercises
  • Client safety
  • Appropriate sequencing
  • Appropriateness of the exercises to the client or class
  • Understanding and application of the principles
  • Cueing and the ability to communicate with your client or class

If the instructor does not pass on the first try, we will discuss what they need to focus on in order to pass and set up a timeline for completion.

Personal Sessions

Students can count any classes or Pilates personal training session they have already taken. Developing and committing to a personal Pilates practice is an essential part of becoming an effective and inspiring teaching.

Observation Hours

Observation hours include watching experienced instructors teach group classes of private sessions. Observation is a great way to understand verbal and manual cueing, program sequencing and to hone your teaching skills.

Student Teaching Hours

Teaching hours include any Pilates teaching either as an employee at a fitness center or Pilates Studio or for family and friends.
