What makes Peak Pilates instructor education unique?
Peak Pilates instructor education is thorough and based
in the true essence of what Joseph Pilates considered to
be his method. I love how our comprehensive program
is divided up into three levels. This allows individuals
to advance in their education as it suits their schedule,
lifestyle and learning pace. As opposed to trainings
where students must learn all Pilates exercises at once,
the Peak way enables you to learn what you would
actually need to teach a beginning client, an intermediate
client, and eventually a more advanced client. Our Peak
Pilates instructors actually grow with the program.
They have time to internalize the exercises and teaching
methodology before they are asked to learn more
advanced exercises.
What makes working with Peak Pilates different?
®
Working for Peak Pilates is fun! Since I’m a long-time
customer and ambassador for Peak Pilates, as well as
a Pilates-lover, oftentimes it doesn’t feel like work.
The Peak Pilates global presence and support team
make it easy for me to share our amazing products
and programming.

How does the quality, character and movement of
the equipment shape the experience for both Pilates
instructors and students?
Peak Pilates equipment is truly in a class of its own.
The quality craftsmanship and attention to detail placed
on each and every piece of Pilates equipment goes above
and beyond any other Pilates equipment manufacturer
on the market. Our equipment is easy to use and
maintain, and the “ride” of our reformers is simply
superior. It’s smooth and solid. All of these things make
owning and using Pilates equipment just plain better.
What are the principles that Peak Pilates stands for?
Peak Pilates stands for authenticity, solid craftsmanship,
superior quality and service, integrity, and partnership.
At Peak Pilates, we are here for you!
“After teaching through a non-Peak Pilates education
program for 8 years, I never thought I would take
classical training and be passionate about it, until I
learned from Ana Caban. I received my Peak Pilates
Level I certification and I look forward to taking level
II and continuing the Peak Pilates Comprehensive
Certification Pathway. Ana inspired me on all levels.
She believed in me, drew a plan, took my hand
and made me believe in myself!”
How does Peak Pilates cover the full breadth of
traditional Pilates yet still leave room for individual
teaching styles?
The Peak Pilates education system is classical and
thorough. It takes out the “mysticism” that is often
associated with Pilates and provides a solid foundation
for Pilates education, which allows you to make it your
own with your personality, back ground and experience.
I equate learning classical Pilates with learning ballet and
other types of dance. Once you understand the history,
