Most Pilates certifications teach you what to do. Function Pilates teaches you why it works.

A: This is the question I refuse to answer with a fake number. It genuinely varies. Some students are teaching full-time and moving through it in the gaps. Some have more room and move faster. The training is built to flex around a real life, not an imaginary one. Book a clarity call and bring your actual calendar. We'll map out what your pacing looks like specifically, before you commit to anything.

A: Most of our students are. That's who this was designed for. The structure assumes you have a job, clients, and a life already in motion. What it asks for is engagement, not a cleared schedule. Again: bring your calendar to the clarity call and we'll be honest with each other about whether the timing works.

A: Not at all. The anatomy foundation is the starting point, which means it's accessible regardless of your background. Students come from fitness, yoga, physical therapy, and straight from a personal Pilates practice. What they share is a serious interest in understanding movement, not a specific credential they arrived with.

A: Payment plans exist on every tier for exactly this reason. Book a clarity call, not to be sold to, but to figure out what actually works for your situation. The goal is to find a path in, not to close a door.

A: Enrollment is final. Function Pilates does not offer refunds, and you'll confirm that at checkout before any payment goes through. That's exactly why the clarity call exists. Twenty minutes, one-on-one, before a single dollar changes hands, to make sure this is genuinely the right training for you. If it isn't, I'll tell you.

A: Yes. The full curriculum, community, and coaching are available digitally. Your location is not a barrier to the depth of this training. Online students go through the same program, the same apparatus mastery, and the same certification process as in-person students, plus a 45-minute 1:1 coaching session with Vanessa every month.

A: Both locations follow the same Function Pilates curriculum and standards. The methodology doesn't change by location. Tempe is taught by Function Pilates Master Trainers. Bel Air is led by Katie Davis, a licensed Function Pilates Master Trainer trained personally by Vanessa. If you want to talk through which location makes sense for you, that's exactly what the clarity call is for.

A: You're still welcome, the cohort is open. The free Jump Board Workshop bonus is only available before August 31st. After that date, it is available as an add-on at 30% off. The training itself doesn't change either way.

A: If you’re joining us Online, course access begins September 19, with modules released weekly.
