Master Instructor & Education Center Overview
Peak Pilates® is a global player in the Pilates education industry, offering a combination of the highest quality Pilates equipment and classical Pilates training. The success of our education programs begins with our Peak Pilates® Master Instructor (MI) team which spans the globe with over 100 MIs representing 22 countries. Our MI team represents a variety of disciplines and training backgrounds and their success as educators comes from their ability to teach students through the wisdom and skill they have amassed through their years of experience and study. We work hard to develop each MI to their highest potential by providing them with the best professional development through training camps and one-on-one mentoring. This allows each MI to progress not just on our MI Pathway but to reach their own personal career goals. Our systematic MI education takes the guesswork out of leading, ensuring that each MI has an opportunity for their individuality and uniqueness to shine through.
With the continued success and growth of the program, we are expanding our network and are currently accepting applications for Master Instructors and Education Centers in most locations within the United States and globally (with the exception of Spain and Japan). To qualify to become an MI, you must own or work at a facility that is willing to offer Peak Pilates® educational programs.
