Certification In Pilates

In the past, certification in Pilates was not overseen by a regulating board. This meant that just about anyone could open up a certification school offering students a "certification in Pilates." As the popularity of the Pilates system has grown, however, the need for a respected, regulated certification program has grown as well.

The International Health, Racquet and Sports Club Association, or IHRSA, is one of the most important and powerful associations in fitness. Clubs and gyms that belong to IHRSA will soon be advised to hire instructors who are approved by that National Organization for Competency Assurance, known as NOCA. To teach Pilates at a IHRSA gym, you will soon have to be certified by a NOCA accredited program.

Unfortunately, many men and women interested in earning a certification in Pilates believe that PMA is the only association equipped to earn NOCA accreditation. This is not the case. Pilates Academy International is also applying for NOCA Accreditation, and thus is a great alternative to PMA. Earn your certification from us, and you'll be able to teach at any IHRSA gym or club.

The Pilates Academy International is the instructor certification school created at Pilates on Fifth. Pilates on Fifth is one of the most important and respected Pilates studios in New York City today. We empower our students with an amazing breadth and depth of knowledge, helping them to become the kind of instructors clients love. To learn more about our certification program, call us at 212-687-3787, or email us at training@pilatesonfifth.com.
