I have really enjoyed and learned a lot during our in-person weekends. I find the online learning portion a bit overwhelming though. While I understand and appreciate the convenience for many people, (including the reduction in cost vs all in-person sessions), I get bogged down by all of the information that comes via the computer. I would have preferred at least one more in-person session per month which would have deepened my connection with fellow students and helped me learn more. I have learned so much more in person vs virtual.

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the program itself and the help/support team engagement and responsiveness. The various instructors I’ve engaged with have been helpful, friendly, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. The one thing I truly think can be improved is the overall communication about the program, what to expect, how to find what I need, etc. Otherwise, I’m so very happy I chose to start my journey with Polestar!

I loved this course! I now feel so confident in my teaching skills and I have learned how to properly train clients with pathologies and I am excited to continue learning through Polestar!

Mat Foundations as a course has been INSTRUMENTAL to the start of my training in teaching Pilates. I truly learned so much in both the actual sessions and the prerequisite work (Anatomy, Principles, etc). As I continue to learn more as a teacher in training, I find myself constantly going back to my notes from the course as there were so many incredible bits of information. Also, I would like to point out that Becky Phares is a legend. She is so professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the work that she does and provided an incredible experience for all. I will say that I feel that the student portal (LMS) was a tad confusing at times. Locating assignments (especially the prerequisite resources) was sometimes a challenge. Also, it was unclear as to whether we even had to take the Anatomy and Principles courses prior to the start of our Zoom Sessions. As I stated previously, I did do both courses, but most of our cohort was not even aware that we had to complete these (or if they were even required). There were also several books I purchased (because they were listed as required), that we did not use. I think that a bit more organization behind the scenes on Polestar’s part would greatly benefit this experience for all. Again, I cannot stress enough how beneficial and special this course has been for me, especially with Becky as our guide. I think that the course can be made better behind the scenes with a bit more structure and organization on the back end. Other than that, I would gladly recommend this program to anyone aiming to become a Pilates instructor. I look forward to seeing the course evolve and grow!

Polestar Pilates makes a huge difference in your teaching skills. This program has wonderful educators and mentors who truly want you to be your best. You become part of a family. I’ve been teaching fitness and yoga class for years with wonderful feedback. Recently I was blessed to have one of my Pilates clients share with me that she has been taking Pilates for over 20 years from very good instructors and on a scale of 1-10 most of them were 7-10. She said she never met anyone like me and that she rated me a 20! She said she was so impressed with how I paid attention to her and how my teaching has make a positive impact on her movement goals, that she never noticed as much with other instructors. That special attention and ability to help her comes directly from the education I’ve received from Polestar Pilates. Forever grateful to all my teachers.
