BECOME A FLETCHER PILATES TEACHER
THROUGH THE PROGRAM OF STUDY
In body, breath, mind and spirit we preserve and advance the inspired evolution of Body Contrology, the work of Joseph and Clara Pilates as articulated by our Teacher, Ron Fletcher. As he mentored and taught us, so we will teach and mentor others in the artistic transformation that leads from strength to balance to grace. We embody excellence and professionalism as guides on the journey that is the legacy of this work.
The Fletcher Pilates Program of Study is one of the most comprehensive and definitive international Pilates educational program of its kind. Our program derives from the physical conditioning method developed by Joseph and Clara Pilates in the 1920s and expands to include its evolution and interpretation by first generation Pilates teacher Ron Fletcher. The multi-dimensional Comprehensive Program is the only teacher-training program to be endorsed by Ron Fletcher.

what our alumni are saying
"The best comprehensive Pilates program available"
The best comprehensive Pilates program available. I can't recommend the in-depth training and teaching approach enough. It has served me more in my teaching career then all other fitness and yoga certification programs combined. I still remember and use many of the cues and sequences I learned during that first year. Check it out and jump right in!
-Amber
"Best Decision I Ever Made"
The best decision I ever made! Life-changing! I have been an athlete my whole life. And a fitness instructor for 35 years. Fletcher Pilates is the absolute best physical activity I have ever done and I will do it and teach it for the rest of my life.
-Colby
"I feel empowered"
My life has changed completely since I started as a Fletcher Pilates student... I’m doing things with my body that I never thought I could. Without hesitation I can say that this work has helped me be more focused, improved my posture, strengthen my center and breathe more deeply. I feel empowered and – best of all – I can now get out of bed without aches and pains. I can’t imagine my life without it!
