I completed my comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training with TPC in 2021 and highly recommend TPC. Their years of being in the Pilates industry speaks for itself and was a deciding factor for me when I was looking for teacher training programs. The whole staff is wonderful and combined have so much knowledge to share. I will always be grateful for my experience and hope to complete other programs in the future with TPC. read more

I have worked with a lot of Pilates instructors in my many years of doing Pilates, but have to say I have never worked with any as good as the instructors at The Pilates Center. I work with April and Rachel on a regular basis, and due to them, my Pilates practice has risen to a whole different level. Both April and Rachel are extremely knowledgeable, caring, and push me to challenge myself. I will not go to any one else, and know that I will work with The Pilates Center for a very long time. Thank you, all of the staff, for all that you do! read more

I graduated from the Pilates Center in 2014 from their advanced program. I can honestly say that their instruction, all of their teachers and their equipment was the best!! It was such a unique opportunity to learn from so many instructors who worked with at least 3 different elder lineages. Each were special in their own way and each of their teachings was unique and profound. From the first moment that I walked into the studio, I got the sense of how much they believed in the Pilates Method and how much they felt that it was their mission to teach others so that the world could benefit from it. This dedication showed in their classes and in their program. By far it was the most comprehensive course that I have ever taken, but it was also life changing in the people that I met there and the lives that I have been able to help because of my ability to give them the gift of Pilates. read more

The Pilates Center is a wonderful place to practice Pilates and to train to be a teacher. I completed the advanced teacher training program in 2011 and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The curriculum is unparalleled and the teachers of it are singular in their passion for the Pilates method. More recently, I have enjoyed taking online chair classes with Amy. It is so inspiring to take from her and hear her continued enthusiasm and curiosity about healthy movement after 30+ years of teaching! read more

Go here for Pilates taught with a compassionate curiosity, thoughtful insight, wise wonder where legacy and science combine. Fun & dynamic - a great treasure to find and continually resource for instilling passionate & intelligent teaching and the joy of moving. read more

I was writing in response to Amanda P.'s review of TPC. While I am so sorry that she had that experience, I wanted to relay that I have had no such experience. I am a graduate of the eighteen month training program and have been training at The Pilates Center since March 2011 and I have had nothing but a great experience. While I am saddened that a fellow trainee had an unpleasant experience, I felt obligated to share that in the three years at TPC I have not had any billing mishaps whatsoever. I reviewed my account often and did not run into any issues, in fact they were very helpful with any concerns I had or when I had to cancel. While I am not discrediting anyone else's experience, however, wanted to share my experience in the same realm. The Pilates Center has an amazing training program and brilliant instructors! I have absolutely nothing but the best things to say about TPC. I still continue to drive from DTC to Boulder weekly for classes...that is how much I love it! They are a terrific group of women all around and I have no doubt that if any error should occur they would be quick to rectify it. read more

Before taking a class, I had never taken (anything) Pilates before. I honestly didn't know what Pilates was. I thought it was just another version of yoga. I was mistaken. Stacey was my instructor for Beginning Equipment and Reformer classes. She was thorough in her teaching and made sure that I, along with everyone else, were on the same page so that no one felt left behind. If I was doing something incorrectly, Stacey would come over and correct me without making a big scene. Not only was Stacey a positive element but, the other clients that I was in class with. They were super friendly and had the utmost respect as well. I definitely plan on taking future classes from The Pilates Center! It's amazing how refreshed you feel afterwards. read more

The Pilates Center is Boulder's premier Pilates instruction and teacher training studio. In fact, the teacher training program is world-renowned and in running for "the best" teacher training studio in N. America. So, with all that it is a hard one to pass by. Come for those flavorful fun mat moves and stay for penultimate reformer classes---your abs will thank you. The studio offers a variety of classes throughout the day and into the night. I particularly love the studio, the view is just beautiful! Huge bay windows on 2 sides of the studio space allow for the lights of heaven to pour into the studio space, providing so much more than just illumination. read more

The Pilates Center is a fantastic place to take Pilates classes or train to become an instructor. Their teachers have more experience than any others you can find, and they have a very keen eye. They will notice things about your body that no one else will, and they'll help you find balance and uniform development. Aches and pains in my body that no other specialist could figure out or solve just dissipated after regular lessons here. My posture improved, my rear lifted, everything toned, and I became more flexible than when I did yoga. If ever there was a magical program, the classical Pilates taught here is it. I have also completed their advanced teacher training program. It is exceptional! People move to Boulder from all over the country just to attend this program. It is very thorough and the apprenticeship style is one of a kind. Amy and Rachel have worked for over 25-years to develop their program and they are passionate about it. It really prepares some of the best Pilates teachers in the world. As for the review below about billing, I never had a single problem. It either was an isolated incident or they have resolved everything. The front desk staff is friendly, competent and very helpful. The entire atmosphere in the place is pleasant and I can't imagine the negative experience of the reviewer in January 2015. Whether you're looking for classical Pilates lessons or for a teacher training program, you can't find anything better than The Pilates Center. I highly recommend it! read more

Love, love, love! I took my very first class here earlier this week. Everyone was so welcoming and the instructors were extremely helpful. I have never felt better after a class, I would definitely recommend it! read more

Come here if you want to find your healthy. The most wonderful nexus of original New York-style Pilates, nurturing Boulder spirit, and straight up anatomy nerdism. Teachers don't instruct, they inspire. I always walk out feeling taller and energized. read more

I was asked to update so here it goes: The official review by the Division of Private Occupational Schools (DPOS) was found in my favor. It was determined that I did not owe The Pilates Center (TPC) money and that instead, they actually owed a substantial refund for tuition paid. It was also found that The Pilates Center's record keeping was poor and program guidelines were unclear, so the plan was for the DPOS to work with TPC to change things. I know that they were going to focus on overhauling the writing of their training program guidelines to clarify *exactly* what they will give you for the money you pay and their future consideration of pro rated refunds will have to be based on the number of hours you completed instead of their previous guideline of how many months you spent in the program. After all, you sign up and pay for a training program that consists of a certain number of hours to completion - the programs are not measured in months. I don't know if the DPOS is able to offer help with the bookkeeping issues. In the end, I'd still caution anyone to do their due diligence when it comes to payments and with monitoring their studio account. If you go as a trainee, you'll have the DPOS as a backup if there are any issues TPC won't work with you to resolve. Btw, the folks at The Pilates Center never responded to the BBB complaint that I filed, so take that as you will. And even after it was determined that they owed a refund for my tuition, they tried every possible loophole to keep from refunding the money (thanks to the added complication that my tuition was funded by a grant). Again, take that as you will. read more

The instructors here are very knowledgeable and willing to help and explain why and how things are suppose to be done. Classes are taught at a good speed and I like that the Pilates Center also teaches future pilates teachers. Highly recommend them! read more
