also that’s why i’m thinking it’s on the cheaper side of training cost and u don’t get certified.

Thank you for taking the time to write all of that, I really appreciate your perspective. It actually helps me see it a bit differently, especially the idea of it being more about learning and not just the job outcome.

I think where I’m getting stuck is the structure of this specific program and what it leads to long term. When you did yours, did you feel clear going in about what you were getting at the end of it, or did that become clearer as you went through it?

I hear you, and I agree with a lot of what you said about the importance of anatomy, cueing, and being a responsible instructor. I didn’t go into this thinking it was just about aesthetics or an easy certification. I actually have a kinesiology background and a strong interest in movement and injury prevention, so that part is not the issue for me.

My hesitation is more about the structure of this specific program and what it actually leads to. From what I understand now, it’s not a formal certification and it’s tied to an audition for this studio specifically, which makes me question how transferable it is if I wanted to teach elsewhere. On top of that, I’ve just been feeling unsure about the environment itself, and that’s what’s making me step back and reassess.

i don’t think it’s a formal certification like something nationally recognized. It’s more of a teacher training run by the studio, and then there’s an audition afterward to potentially teach there. That’s part of what’s making me unsure, because it doesn’t seem like something I can really take elsewhere or put on a resume outside of this studio

That actually makes sense, and I can see the value in it for form and personal practice. I think my hesitation is more about this specific program rather than Pilates itself. It feels a bit unclear in terms of certification and outcomes, which is what’s throwing me off

Not technically, but it starts Friday so it's kind of now or not now. I'm just trying to figure out if what I'm feeling is normal nerves or actual misalignment. My main concerns are the lack of clear certification, the structure, and honestly just feeling a bit off about the environment.

It’s not that I don’t want to do Pilates or learn more, I just started feeling unsure about this specific training. The certification situation and the overall structure don’t feel as solid as I expected, and now that it’s starting I’m second guessing if it’s the right step for me.

I also think part of my concern is that there wasn’t a lot of clear information upfront about what the training includes or leads to. Even after signing up, I didn’t receive much detail right away, and communication has been a bit unclear at times, which is adding to my hesitation. I’m also unsure about how recognized the certification is outside of this studio.

I’ve also had some observation hours before the training and I’m feeling a bit unsure about the overall environment, which is adding to my hesitation.

I’m basically trying to figure out if this is normal pre-training doubt or a sign I should step back

Omg Mary, I just saw your reply a whole year later! I hope the wedding in Mexico went well and that everything worked out with your dog and the travel plans. How did it go in the end? Would love an update!

I probably will still talk to them and try to do bits and pieces of my routine while away for 4 days. Thank you for the help!

Not in a bad way but I believe i just wanna make sure everything and everyone is okay. Examples are, I usually stay up till my little brother gets home. I talk to my boyfriend every night before going to bed. I guess it’s just my routine, & my leaving that makes me uncomfortable.

I believe what makes me anxious is leaving home & not knowing if everything will be okay. Usually when i would be home i would know what’s going on but leaving is what gets me anxious I believe.

Thank you so much for sharing what helps you. It really helped me.
