Course Location
Elevate Pilates
Greifswalder Str. 207,
4th Floor, 10405 Berlin
Our Berlin courses are delivered at Elevate Pilates in Prenzlauer Berg. The studio teaches Reformer, Mat and Barre in small groups, with a clear focus on helping people move without turning every class into a performance. That carries directly into how we educate teachers: understand who is in front of you, coach with intent and create a class people can genuinely learn from.
Move Pilates
159 Racecourse Rd,
Ascot QLD 4007
Our Brisbane teacher training is hosted at Move Pilates in Ascot, one of Brisbane’s established Pilates communities. Located on Racecourse Road, the studio offers a welcoming, professional environment for students to learn, practise and develop their teaching across both Mat and Reformer Pilates.
Reformer Factory
895A Wellington Rd
Rowville VIC 3178
Our Melbourne teacher training is hosted at Reformer Factory in Rowville. Reformer, Mat Pilates and yoga all sit within the studio, with inclusivity and body positivity forming a clear part of how the business approaches movement. That matters in teacher training. Learning to teach well starts with understanding that there is no single body, ability or starting point in front of you.
Pilates by Bambu
Jl. Pantai Bingin No.8, Bingin,
Kec. Kuta Sel., Kabupaten Badung,
Bali 80361
Our Bali courses are held at Pilates by Bambu in Bingin, Uluwatu. At Bambu, Pilates sits alongside strength training, functional fitness, mobility and recovery rather than operating as a separate discipline. Students spend the course inside a wider training culture where coaching, movement and recovery are already connected, which makes it a particularly strong home for In Balance education.
In Balance HQ
15/22-30 Northumberland Rd,
Caringbah NSW 2229
Sydney is home to In Balance Education. Our Caringbah HQ is where the education was built and where our approach to Pilates teaching continues to develop. Students train directly within the business behind the course, surrounded by the educators, thinking and standards that shape In Balance.
GLØD Yoga & Pilates
Parkveien 62, 0254
Oslo
Our Oslo teacher training is hosted at GLØD Yoga & Pilates on Parkveien in Frogner. The studio brings Pilates, yoga, sculpt, recovery-focused practices and teacher education under the same roof. It gives In Balance students a place where movement practice and continued education already sit alongside one another, within walking distance of central Oslo.
Soul Pilates
Level 1, 165 Lambton Quay,
Wellington
Our Wellington teacher training is hosted at Soul Pilates on Lambton Quay in the CBD. Soul teaches both Reformer and Mat Pilates, with a strong focus on making movement accessible across different levels of experience. It gives students a working Pilates environment in the centre of Wellington to learn, practise and develop their teaching.
Frequently Asked Questions
What prior experience do I need?
Before starting, we ask that you have completed at least 25 Pilates classes as a participant. This gives you experience of the movement, exercises and client perspective before learning to teach.
How is assessment structured?
Assessment focuses on your ability to understand, apply and teach what you’ve learned. Your theory is assessed through a multiple-choice exam after each module, while your in-person training includes practical teaching where you apply your skills with fellow students.
Can I study at my own pace?
You receive educator guidance, course check-ins, real time feedback and support throughout your training.
