Why Fitness Pilates Is One of Our Most Successful Instructor Training Courses

At Choreographytogo, we’re proud to say that Fitness Pilates has been one of our most in-demand and enduring training courses—and it continues to grow in popularity every single year.

With over 3,500 instructors trained, a vibrant and supportive teaching community, and classes regularly hitting waiting lists, it’s no surprise that many of our learners say this is the class they love teaching the most.

So, what makes the Fitness Pilates Instructor Training such a success? Let’s break it down.

🧘‍♀️ What Is Fitness Pilates?

Fitness Pilates is a modern group exercise class based on the teachings of Joseph Pilates, fused with functional fitness principles and grounded in current movement science. Delivered to music in a dynamic class format, it includes:

Warm Up & Mobility
Active & Passive Flexibility
Standing & Functional Work
Mat-Based Exercises
Stretch & Relaxation

Rooted in traditional Pilates and Controlology, it evolves annually to incorporate new research and fresh ideas—ensuring your classes stay current, effective, and inspiring.

🌍 A Truly Popular, Community-Led Format

Fitness Pilates is more than a qualification—it’s a movement. Across the UK and beyond, our instructors are running fully booked classes in studios, halls, and community centres. Some have waitlists every week!

Why? Because participants love how inclusive, empowering, and feel-good Fitness Pilates is.

It’s accessible, results-driven, and designed to help clients move better, feel stronger, and live well.
