trainee Reviews

“I started going to classes here and fell in love with the space & its instructors! I then took the Teacher Training Course with Marie (the Owner) and could not recommend it enough. Teacher Training can be intimidating but Marie was welcoming right from the start! I found it to be the perfect balance of technical pilates information, along with very practical tips on how to plan and teach classes of varying levels. Marie consistently provided helpful feedback and was encouraging every step of the way, really getting to know you and your goals. As someone who has started to teach classes, the books Marie provided in the course have been extremely helpful as they include not only the movements, but also suggested cues and other helpful tips/guidance. Teacher Training is a big time and financial commitment, so it is important to find the right fit for you and your style of teaching. For me, Marie and ab&flow were a perfect fit! HUGE bonus was the awesome group of people who also went through the Teacher Training Course with me! If you are looking for a place to start your Pilates teaching career, or just gain a deeper understanding of your own Pilates practice - ab&flow is a great place to start!”

The ab&flow teach training program offered me the comprehensive, hands on instruction that I needed to start my journey as a pilates instructor. Marie is a wealth of knowledge and her program offered the perfect balance of structure and flexibility to allow me to complete my coursework while still working a full time job. I would highly recommend the ab&flow teach training program!

It’s been great learning from Marie. She has been very encouraging and supportive through out the training. Materials were well written and in-studio immersion hours were very informative. Marie also gives a great option to teach an apprentice class, which for me personally turned out to be a valuable “real life” experience. 

On top of everything else, ab&flow Chicago is just an absolutely beautiful studio, pleasure to practice and teach at.
