You will receive a certificate of completion and be able to teach anywhere that offers mat classes. Mat instructors typically teach in a gym, online studios, at home, at other peoples homes, your local community center, corporate events or your own studio. In the USA the Pilates and fitness industry is unregulated so your education and teaching abilities must speak for itself. We are working to create an organization that recognizes the hard work of modular instructors. California Pilates stands behind or trainings and will gladly be a reference for you through out your career.

The scale varies per region, depends on education level and the number of years teaching.

Mat instructors paid by a gym receive approximately $25-$45 per class. Some spaces offer a percentage deal where the instructor receives 40-60% of the fee per student. Some studios pay a flat hourly rate plus a percentage.

Instructors who are trained on all Pilates equipment receive $35-$75 an hour from a studio.

Students taking a group class usually pay $20-$45 per hour a session and private classes range from $65-$125 hour per 1 hour session.
