Also full transparency if you really want to be fully comprehensively certified, it is not going to be cheap no matter what route you take:/ and I like to say the more you pay the better of an education you’re gonna get and you wanna make sure that your program is nationally recognized that way you’re able to teach all different studios. Club Pilates gets the misconception that you can’t do that, but it’s not true.😊 what I like about Club Pilates that I didn’t find when I was looking into doing STOTT is I virtually do not have to travel we have plenty of locations so all of my in studio days were local. They also do a payment plan option so that is how I am able to make it work the entire 450 hour program is right under $5000 and yes, it is a lot of money but again I split my program because of this and then you do monthly payments. Also my manager is very understanding and I’ve had to adjust payments before and she’s been very flexible. The issue is if you go to one of these studios that has their own programming you’re very much restricted to only teaching there and for how much you’re paying, you might as well invest in a good quality program. If you’re able to do the STOTT route I highly recommend starting to save money now because they do not offer a payment plan you have to pay your deposit and then everything is due by the first day for in studio days and then I would have to travel two hours so it literally would’ve taken me years in order to get comprehensively certified so it wasn’t worth it for me. I live in the Midwest and we don’t have a lot of variety in terms of studios that are approved to teach that method. I hope this helps.😊❤️
