Unite Health is the sole provider of APPI Pilates instructor training in Australia and New Zealand. APPI stands for The Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute, and we have been educating people since 2000.
Our growing community consists of over 50,000 APPI Certified Pilates instructors around the world. Our training is internationally recognised in 21 countries and translated into 15 languages.
Our philosophy is to learn by doing - learn the practical skills required to become an outstanding Pilates instructor on our face to face training.
We use the “Visible Body Anatomy & Physiology” App from the App store. The cost is $54.99 and is an essential resource to have while you are learning to become a Pilates instructor.
Anatomy is a crucial part of Pilates and you must put the time into this part of the course to get the most out of it. We refer back to this app a lot in the supplementary course manual.
Course Overview:
Over 14 days of face-to-face training in both matwork and reformer Pilates you will learn the anatomy and physiology required to become an outstanding Pilates instructor. Be guided by our Pilates teaching script, and be exposed to our unique surface anatomy practical workshops that bring anatomy to life.
Course Objectives:
To become a fully certified APPI Pilates Instructor you will be required to complete certification exams at the completion of your teacher training. There are 2 components to the exam, practical and theory. You will also be required to hand in your completed Pilates certification logbook at the time of your practical Pilates exam.
Certification logbook
Your completed Pilates certification logbook is to be submitted on the day of your Pilates practical exam. Hours are:
Certification Exam
Theory
An online multiple-choice exam that covers the following topics:
Pilates practical exam
Design a 1 hour Pilates session for a client of your choice including APPI matwork and reformer Pilates exercises. You will be marked on:
Following on from the exam you will be required to demonstrate a range of exercises in both Pilates matwork and reformer to show your ability to perform the exercises to an acceptable level. This will include at least 4 exercises on the mat and 6 exercises on the reformer.
A 70% pass rate is required in both the theory and practical examinations.
We recommend completing your Pilates certification exam 3-6 months following your attendance at the course.

In Australia, Pilates instructors can make anywhere from $35 - $100+ depending on your place of employment and if you decide to set up your own Pilates business.
