IBP

INTENSIVE BRIDGE PROGRAM (IBP) – Our 395hr Bridge Program is available to any individual who has begun instruction with another organization and wishes to complete their training with Pilates Associates. A Bridge is also available for individuals with comprehensive training elsewhere, who wish to enhance their practice by learning a more contemporary, scientifically-based method. In either of these cases, Pilates Associates provides training that ultimately results in competencey of the entire PA method. Upon completion of the PA Bridge Program, certification candidates can be confident they have been well-prepared to sit for the PMA certification exam.

An entrance assessment is required for all Bridge participants. Results of this assment will be used to tailor a program to your specific needs. All bridge work is done 1-on-1 with an individual master trainer, but IMT modules may be audited for ½ price (in addition to any modular bridge fees).
