BBU Pilates Apparatus Certification completes the full Pilates instructor certification program. Included is the complete repertoire on the Trapeze Table/Cadillac/Tower, the Pilates Chair, the Barrels and small equipment. Completing the additional apparatus training gives you a great variety of tools to use when working with clients and qualifies you to take the national Pilates certification exam. The modules may be offered individually or they may be combined.

If your Mat and Reformer Certifications are from somewhere other than BBU, please contact us to discuss what is needed to receive your full BBU Comprehensive Certification after completion of the Apparatus Modules.
