Certification Details
-
You are eligible to apply for the Cadillac, Chairs, & Barrels Certification if you have successfully tested out of the following at least two weeks before the upcoming workshop start date:
SPRING. Mat Pilates Certification (including Anatomy Foundations or equivalent)
SPRING. Reformer Pilates & Jumpboard Certification
If you are Mat and Reformer certified through a different program: SPRING. Bridging Program
In addition, it is strongly advised that all students participating in our Cadillac, Chair, & Barrels Certification are experienced teachers actively working in the industry and have access to a Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel (e.g., in a studio they are currently teaching at). This ensures your ability to keep pace with the live workshop sessions, which are taught at a faster pace than the Reformer Pilates & Jumpboard Certification, as well as a smooth completion of Self-Study, Observation, and Practice Teaching hours.

We are committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the wellness industry, with a specific focus on increasing representation in our teacher training programs.
Our support options are designed to empower individuals from historically underrepresented and marginalized communities in the Pilates and wellness space. These opportunities are exclusively for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), as well as individuals from diverse cultural, gender, sexual, and ability identities who face systemic barriers to accessing education and professional growth in the wellness industry.
If this resonates with your lived experience and your aspirations, we warmly encourage you to explore and apply for our DEI-focused teacher training education support options. Together, we can build a more inclusive and representative Pilates community.
