For the past five years, absolution has been the premier Instructor Training Facility for Pilates instructors in Southern California, producing some of the most requested Pilates instructors in Los Angeles.

Our New York Style Certification is recognized nationally, and we are proud to have trainees employed all over the world. Some work with professional athletes, some with doctors or surgeons. Although many leave to open studios elsewhere, many of them stay right here with us (which is why we’ve grown into our new beautiful space).

We offer different levels of certification, and Pilates and yoga enthusiasts actually take our Instructor Training course simply to master Pilates themselves. The demand for our trainees has been so overwhelming that we can encourage trainees to begin teaching as apprentices at absolution during their certification.

This allows trainees to experience teaching in a supportive environment and to earn money during the course, which works for everybody. Our Instructor certification program is rigorous, thorough, and challenging, but is also flexible and many of our trainees have full-time jobs during the course itself. If you are interested in expanding your practice to include Pilates, please contact us to learn more about our program and how we can help support your desire to grow your experience.

At absolution, you’ll be coached one-on-one by a certified Pilates instructor (for more on certification click here) who will guide you through a series of movements designed to help your body develop a super strong torso, or as we say in the Pilates world, a “powerhouse”.

The machines are a lot of fun and definitely add an edge of excitement and technique to a Pilates workout, however, if wicked-looking machinery is not your thing, Pilates can also be done “on the mat”, using your body as resistance weight. Both techniques are effective.

You do not need machines to achieve the Pilates-defined tummy you crave…more important is your willingness to do Pilates consistently. Some of our clients like to “mix it up” with both the machines and the mat classes, which is a great way to stay in top form.
