"If you are searching to become a Pilates Instructor. Stop searching & interview Functional Strength. I took the Teacher Prepatory Program as well as the Year long Program, I just recently finished all my hours. I felt very equipped to began the regular program after the Prepatory Program. Right away ,The first Workshop was Anatomy which was great. What I really loved though was through every aspect of the program anatomy was reinforced. All the instructors are amazing & very helpful as well. I researched other programs but I feel as though I struck Gold being trained here. The other 4 workshops were great as well & we got to do them twice. " -- K.P
