APPI’s Cadillac Certification course will take you through an enormous variety of exercises and the in-depth reasoning behind each exercise. We will analyze each exercise looking at the clients’ performance of the movement, any dysfunction that we may see, and how to assess and manage this to lead your client back to full health and wellness. The course will progress from beginner all the way to full strength and conditioning exercises.
You can take this course individually as its own certification. Once the course is completed, you can take an online exam to become an APPI Certified Cadillac Pilates Instructor. You will have 4 weeks access to the course content, which you can watch as many time as you like and at your own pace. Following completion of the course, you can take 1 practical exam in order to become an APPI Cadillac Certified Pilates Instructor.
The theoretical workshops will develop and refine visual, tactile, audio cueing, 1:1 program planning, home exercise program planning and group teaching for students to develop their skills and confidence to become comprehensive and articulate teachers. The course will look at individual teaching and 1:1 program planning as well as discuss how to run mixed studio sessions where you incorporate other pieces of equipment into a group session.

Can I do this course?
This course is for anyone who has attended a two-day Matwork course & completed Reformer series with a recognized training provider
“I have attended several APPI courses previously to expand my Pilates education. I’ve done both in person and online. When deciding which provider to complete my Equipment series training with, it made sense to go with APPI.
I like that the APPI method is based on rehab so that it gives you a firm grounding in why you’re doing the exercise and how it can help your client.
After the in-person weekends I have also found Sarah Chambers to be very helpful with providing feedback on Case Studies and also allowing us to do class observations over Zoom for those who have struggled to find appropriate classes in person.”
