About Guide2Pilates

I'm Sam, and I created Guide2Pilates because I was exactly where you are right now.

When I was going through my Pilates teacher training, the amount of material I had to get through was overwhelming. Binders full of notes, multiple textbooks, and no single resource that had everything organized in one place. I kept thinking — why doesn't this exist?

So I built it for myself. I took the most important things from my notes and textbooks and put them together in a way that actually made sense. Other people in my program kept saying I should sell it — so I did.

The Complete Pilates Instructor Certification Study Guide is 170+ pages covering Mat, Reformer, Chair, Springboard, Cadillac/Tower, Spine Corrector, Ladder Barrel, special populations, cueing frameworks, common errors, and a 60-question practice test.

It's not tied to one specific program — it covers the core knowledge tested across most contemporary comprehensive certifications. My goal was simple: one guide, everything you need, so you can walk into your exam feeling prepared.

68+ instructors have used it so far, and it has a 5.0 star rating on Etsy.
