At least 2 years of Pilates teaching experience.
OR studio owners wishing to transition their teaching methods to Classical Pilates.

What our students say

The Fundamentals course at Everybody Pilates was one of the best starts I could have had in Classical Pilates. It helped me understand the true foundations of the method, stay motivated, and keep progressing. Aafke’s teaching is inspiring—she brings so much knowledge and energy to every session. The support from the entire Everybody Pilates team, and the opportunity to practise and ask questions in the studio, made this one of the best investments in my career.

Amy is that rare find– brilliant business woman, inspiring teacher and fabulous community builder. Whenever I visit, whether it be at her studio or conventions, I see and feel the care and confidence she instills in all of her work.

I’m so glad I signed up for the Full Comprehensive Course! After just the first training weekend, I’ve already learned so much — and I’m already looking forward to the next one. Aafke is truly an outstanding trainer, guiding you with so much passion and knowledge. You can feel that she genuinely wants to bring out the best in you. The entire team is warm, supportive, and always ready to offer tips, feedback, or just a bit of extra motivation. Training, practising, asking questions — it’s all welcome here. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend working with Amy Kellow and her company, Everybody Pilates, without reservation. EP creates a wonderfully positive and productive environment in which their instructors can thrive.

My first experience working with Amy Kellow and her staff was in 2013 at the Classical Pilates Convention in Windsor. As producer of this conference, Everybody Pilates took care of every aspect of the event with poise and ease, anticipating the needs of both attendees and presenters.

I returned to the convention again in 2014. There were a few more variables to juggle and teachers were assigned additional workshops to present. Again the organization and cool demeanor did not waver and the resulting event was even better than the previous year.

Everybody Pilates is professional, respectful and efficient. As a presenter I felt great support from the staff. My schedule and duties were clear and Amy made sure there was always someone available should I have a concern or question. I am very much looking forward to participating in this year’s event in Portsmouth.

Every Tuesday morning you can find me in my studio, ready to accept a Skype connection with Amy Kellow. Although Amy is in the U.K., and I am in Walnut Creek, California, I always know that she is about to give me another "ah-ha" moment in my Pilates journey. It is like receiving a small gift each time. Amy always brings her keen eye and unique teaching abilities to each session. She has a contagious smile and refreshing since of humor, that compliments her expert instruction. I highly recommend Amy's Skype sessions. Even though you might be miles apart, it will feel as though she is standing right next to you. I love Tuesday's!
