Why would you recommend Peak Pilates over other
Pilates education programs?
supportive. The students who come out of the program
are very successful Instructors.
We chose the program that we would join very carefully.
Pilates is our passion, and the we chose program really
needed to reflect this. We have also been in the fitness
industry for a very long time and consider ourselves
very lucky to have experienced numerous styles of
exercise. Peak Pilates not only gives you all the technical
information, but also instruction on how to teach in a
very welcoming and supportive environment. All these
factors are very important to bring out the best in
a student.
How does Peak Pilates influence the global community?

Is there anybody that has particularly inspired or

Peter Roel, who showed me what passion and

When we joined the Peak Pilates Master Instructor
training program, we were so lucky to have been
mentored by Clare Dunphy and Zoey Trap. With all their
knowledge and experience, these strong women have
remained humble and are all about giving and supporting
us to continue to grow and become not just better
Pilates instructors, but better people!

goal — a passion for learning. The Peak Pilates
workshops are open to everybody. They bring together
instructors from different Pilates backgrounds and

The different pieces of equipment are a great selection
for any instructor from both from a monetary and
visual viewpoint, as well as space considerations (folding
or stacking options). You can always feel secure of
its quality knowing that it’s a Peak Pilates piece. Our
equipment is now coming up to being 15 years old and
everyone thinks it’s brand new.
What makes Peak Pilates education unique?

students a clear framework of where to start and
