Enroll in the Smokin Hot Yoga & Fitness Pilates Fusion Teacher Training program this September at our Brick, NJ studio
This is an immersive, 100% in-person training experience created for aspiring fitness instructors who want practical experience, personal coaching, and a deeper understanding of what makes people come back to a great instructor week after week.
The program goes beyond learning exercises. You’ll work on form, cueing, modifications, music, class design, confidence, client relationships, marketing, and the business side of becoming a successful group fitness instructor.
If you’re in Brick, Toms River, Point Pleasant, Lakewood, Bay Head, Mantoloking, or elsewhere in Ocean County and have been thinking about becoming a Pilates or fitness instructor, this is your opportunity to train inside an active local studio.
Five Weeks of Hands-On Pilates Fusion Teacher Training
Teacher Training runs for five weeks with approximately six hours of training each week.
All training takes place in person at:
Smokin’ Hot Yoga & Fitness
2528 Hooper Ave. Brick, NJ 08723
[Directions]
No virtual training sessions are planned! We want our trainees in the studio, working with instructors, observing real classes, practicing their skills, and learning how to connect with the people in front of them.
Learn More Than Pilates Exercises
Knowing the movements is only one part of becoming an instructor people love.
A strong instructor needs to understand how to read a room, explain a movement clearly, recognize when someone needs a modification, keep a class flowing, choose music that supports the workout, and create an atmosphere that motivates people to keep going.
During the five-week program, training will cover:
- Pilates Fusion fundamentals
- Proper form and alignment
- Effective cueing
- Exercise modifications
- Class sequencing and flow
- Working with different fitness and experience levels
- Music selection and creating class energy
- Building confidence as an instructor
- Commanding and connecting with a room
- Developing your own class
- Marketing yourself as an instructor
- The business side of becoming a successful fitness professional
The goal is to help you begin developing your own teaching style instead of simply memorizing someone else’s class.
Train Inside Real Smokin’ Hot Classes
Hands-on experience is an important part of the program.
In addition to scheduled teacher training, trainees are required to take three Smokin’ Hot classes each week.
You’ll experience classes from the student’s perspective while paying closer attention to the details that make a class work: pacing, transitions, cueing, instructor presence, modifications, music, energy, and client interaction.
It’s a chance to learn by doing, watching, listening, and asking questions.
Shadow Tracy and the Team
Each trainee will also spend one day per week shadowing Tracy Zarriello and other members of the Smokin’ Hot team.
This is where you’ll get a closer look at what happens beyond the workout itself.
You’ll learn how instructors lead a room, communicate movements, make adjustments, work with different personalities and fitness levels, create an effective class flow, and build relationships with clients.
You’ll also get insight into the business and marketing side of being an instructor. Teaching a great class matters, but building a following and giving people a reason to return matters too.
Your Final Challenge – Create, Fill and Teach Your Own Class
At the end of the five weeks, it will be time to put your training into action.
Each trainee will create and host a donation-based class for friends, family, and members of the community.
You won’t simply show up and teach it. You’ll learn how to promote your class, encourage people to attend, fill the room, prepare your workout, and confidently lead the experience from beginning to end.
This final challenge gives you a chance to put together everything you’ve worked on throughout the program.
Our goal isn’t simply to teach you Pilates Fusion exercises. We want to help you become the kind of instructor people can’t wait to take again.
