St. Louis Pilates Lab

Teacher training is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your career. The Pilates industry is unregulated, which means the range of programs out there is wide, from rigorous, multi-year apprenticeships to weekend certifications that will leave you underprepared and underpaid.

The Pilates Lab offers a 30-week, 600+ hour Primary Certification program in partnership with Real Pilates NYC. Applications are open for Fall 2026. Questions? Link in bio!

The Pilates world can sometimes feel divided: classical vs. contemporary, comprehensive programs vs. weekend certifications, independent studios vs. large chains.

This past weekend, Kristen was in Dallas teaching continuing education workshops. The teachers in attendance came from a wide range of certifications and backgrounds, yet everyone shared the same goal: a genuine desire to learn.

That spirit is exactly what we’ve always worked to cultivate at The Pilates Lab. A space that is welcoming to everyone, regardless of background, age, experience, or fitness level. You don’t have to know everything to show up, and you don’t have to already be “fit” to belong.

We’re proud to stand for unity, rigorous education, and excellence in teaching, both at home in our studio and on the road. You belong here. 💛
