Testimonials

“Being affiliated to a studio like Sweatfiit has been the most valuable aspect to my training, as I could maintain and build on my own regular practice during teacher training, and had the support of friendly faces and a familiar space which took the edge off the nerves of teaching my first class. Teacher training at Sweatfiit has changed my career path which I did not expect. I used to work full time as a nurse in the NHS, I now teach regularly at Sweatfiit, and have set up my own business with a view to spreading the power of Hot Yoga far and wide. Sarah is an inspiration to work with as much as she is an inspiration to sweat with, and I have learnt so much more than postures through training at Sweatfiit”

Emily Hunter

“I had the pleasure of doing Teacher Training with Sarah last year, 2022 Class of Bikram Yoga TT and it was absolutely fantastic! It develops your practice, your confidence and your knowledge. Sarah can turn you into a fantastic teacher of any kind. Just do it!”

  • I would love to do this teacher training, but I don’t think my Hot Pilates practice is strong enough.

    A: If you wait to feel strong enough or good enough, it is never going to happen!

  • What are the entry requirements?

    A: There are no formal entry requirements for this Hot Pilates instructor course, although if you do have a fitness instructor or personal trainer qualification, you will be at a slight advantage.

  • There are so many teacher trainings to choose from, what makes this one so special?

We also want to ensure that you have taught live classes, so you feel confident to teach straight away. You will receive business training as part of your 50 hours, as well as 5-10 mock and in person classes at SWEATFIIT.  You will receive feedback from these classes and mentorship from our teachers to ensure you are ready to get out there and put your new skills to the test!

  • Can I make a living as a Hot Pilates instructor?

  • What if I can’t make all the dates?

    You must be able to make 90% of the dates or you will not graduate. If there are times that you cannot make it to the studio, we will expect you to attend live on Zoom. 

  • Will I get a job at SweatFIIT at the end?

    We cannot guarantee a regular teaching slot at SweatFIIT but there will be the opportunities to teach for the strongest trainees. Out of 8 of our SweatFIIT Yoga trainees, 4 are currently teaching at SweatFIIT. You may choose to teach at other studios, online or even set up your own business! One thing we can guarantee is that your mindset and body will be so strong by the end of this training and we will support you with the tools required to achieve your goals, whatever they might be!
