I am in the process of getting my Comprehensive Pilates certification through Peak Pilates at the Austin Pilates Barn, and it has been the best experience!

Peak Pilates Comprehensive Instructor Training I began my training in 2017. Looking for schools and trainers was a confusing process - so many choices and styles of Pilates training. I am so glad I chose Peak. It was almost by accident, but what a lucky one! I went through all 3 levels of training with Nancy, and I only want more. We learned Joseph Pilates’ original work - how to teach a beginner client all the way up to advanced. We learned the order of exercises and stages of progression. I can now train anyone, from a deconditioned senior, to an injured athlete, to a healthy young person.

There are not enough stars for how much I love Nancy and her pilates team here. A true mentor with the Peak Pilates program she teaches yearly (Peak is by far the most comprehensive and intense training program aka the best) to her continuing education, Nancy and her team are unparalleled! Any chance I get, I take a trip to visit her. If you have any hesitations about signing up for Pilates with her or her team - DO NOT!! You will be in amazing hands!

After comparing a few offerings, I chose the Peak Pilates teacher training primarily for the flexible scheduling which allowed me to continue working my corporate job while getting certified. The program is extremely well thought out and organized. It gives you all the tools you need to be a successful instructor and is structured to give you the information you need when you’re ready for it. I particularly like the emphasis on teaching you how to teach, not just how to do the exercises. When I hire instructors, I know that if they are Peak trained they will be great additions to my team.

Nancy, the Master Instructor and owner of the studio is unparalleled when it comes to the passion, knowledge and teaching of Pilates. She was so supportive and expertly guided us all the way home.
