Teacher Coaching

Professional Pilates Teacher and Pre-Certification coaching in classical Pilates method and Gratz apparatus.

Do you feel like you are missing something and want personal coaching instead or before joining an intensive certification program?

Get supportive and personalized training for Pilates professionals in advanced classical Pilates and the Gratz apparatus specific to your goals, learning style, on your own timeline.

  • Do you feel like your training didn’t prepare you for some of the challenges you are facing working with your clients? Get detailed refinement on your technique and understanding within your own body-sense.

  • Are you interested in learning or bridging into a classical Pilates certification but feeling unsure? Learn the system in your own body before committing to an intensive and expensive training so you get the most out of your program.

  • Do you feel like you have plateaued and need some personal coaching to spark joy in your own practice? Pilates teachers don’t always find time for their own practice, get non-dogmatic personal training in classical Pilates tailored to your goals and learning style.

  • Did your training omit some of the classical apparatus and you want to learn more about using them? Fully equipped with Gratz apparatus, from Reformers, Cadillacs, Electric Chair, Wunda Chairs, Spine Correctors, Ladder Barrels, and more.

If you take lessons and classes but they leave your feeling uninspired or physically strained, or if you are looking at IG for inspiration but what you try doesn’t work for you or your clients, or you go to industry symposiums but you still feel like you are missing something, then personalized coaching can be a game-changer that inspires your practice.

You don’t need to look for online programming templates or ask AI for suggestions. Personalized coaching in classical Pilates can spark your passion for your own practice and help you feel more confident in creating your own client programming from day-to-day.

Hi there, I am Christl Marcontell and I have spent decades mastering the techniques, philosophy and skills of classical Pilates through the lineage of Romana Kryzanowska and Jay Grimes. 

I don’t believe that Pilates teacher training should be one-size-fits-all. I offer professional teacher coaching in classical Pilates that is responsive to how you move and think, and respectful to your prior training and values.

Working together you can:

  • Gain clarity and purpose in your personal connection to what you teach. 

  • Reignite your passion for teaching with insight into the purpose and connections of the Pilates exercises as a holistic system instead of separate “moves”. 

  • Prepare your body for training and teaching with challenges specific to the needs of professional Pilates teachers or apprentices. 

  • Learn how to use the classical Reformer and comprehensive apparatus with focus on professional skills before you invest in an expensive and time-consuming certification program.

Areas we’ll cover

  • Learn how to use the classical 4-spring Gratz Reformer for a safe and powerful workout

  • Learn how to integrate the Reformer, Mat, and other Pilates apparatus to create a varied workout specific to different client needs and goals

  • Refresh and refine your skills in a private lessons responsive to how you move and think

  • Heal your body from the demands of working as a Pilates professional or from over-training in an intensive certification program to “get through it”.

  • Deep dive into any apparatus in the context of classical Pilates technique: Electric Chair, Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector, Foot Corrector, Arm-Chair, Pedipole, etc…

  • Gain and improve your proficiency using the classical Pilates apparatus in Private lessons and through independent practice in “Open-Gym”.

I am a 2nd generation Pilates teacher certified by Romana Kryzanowska in 1999.

I bring decades of experience working with clients from all walks of life, from therapeutic needs, through pregnancy and post-partum recovery, to competitive athletes looking for their edge, to apprentices and professional teachers.  

I also draw from my background in somatic movement and MELT method to find blocked energy and inefficient movement patterns that might be holding you back, and using specific verbal and hands-on cuing I help you experience the classical Pilates system so it feel natural and energizing in your own body, as well as gaining more self-awareness and confidence in your how you teach.

This is ideal for professional Pilates teachers whether from a contemporary or classical background. It is also great for people considering certification in classical Pilates with any school— Before you commit to an expensive and intensive training, the more you know the better your training experience will be.
