We know there are a lot of courses available for trainers seeking continuing education. Mark Trudeau, who received his certification from Physical Mind in New York City, has developed a course we think is the best of all possible options.

Passing on the Quantum Fitness tradition of tailoring workouts to their clients, Trudeau will teach you not only how to instruct the basic exercises, but the theory behind infinite variations of those exercises so they can be adapted for different people.

More importantly, Trudeau's extensive experience as an instructor comes through in our small, inclusive classes -- students and teacher work together in a warm, supportive group that makes learning enjoyable and decidedly non-stressful.

Why Quantum Fitness Pilates Teacher Training Stands Above the Others

Size: Our classes are small -- never more than ten people.

Thoroughness: Our classes are comprehensive.

We're a Constant Resource: Once you become a part of the Quantum Fitness environment, you will find an unending resource of experience in the other trainers around you.
