Poem Pilates offered me the perfect opportunity to turn my love/interest in Pilates into a qualification! As a dancer, Pilates has been a part of my life & professional training for years - I’ve felt the benefits myself & was interested in how to could deepen my understanding & start teaching alongside my performing career. Cian was incredible from start to finish. He was so understanding, answering any & all questions I had even before starting the course - making me feel so secure & confident that Poem Pilates was the right fit for me. The course was flexible & I was easily able to fit it around my schedule. I was working on a cruise ship when I started learning from Cian - I completed the course 100% remotely, having coaching sessions via zoom & chatting with Cian through any/all means possible to get support & feedback on my work. If you are concerned that you don’t have the time or space to complete the course - I can assure you, you definitely do! The material was so easy to digest, Cian worked with me and set deadlines & projects based on what MY week was looking like. The process was so enjoyable & I felt uplifted the entire time! Since finishing the course & getting my certificate earlier this year - I am now set to beginning teaching Mat Pilates classes at TWO studios in my area! Cian’s teaching or methods will truly enable you to succeed as an instructor - setting you apart from everyone else, ensuring your clients will remember you & continue coming back because of the standard of practice you are able to provide (thanks to Poem)! Take this as your sign to start your certification now!!

A fantastic teacher training programme. I had the best experience training with Poem Pilates. Cian is an incredible educator, tutor and instructor. I learnt so much and felt supported throughout the entire course. No question was ever too big or too small, and he was always generous with his knowledge and teaching wisdom, helping me to understand, develop and grow. The content was delivered to a very high standard, covering all aspects of Pilates, teaching methodology and lesson planning in depth. Beyond the course itself, Cian has created an incredibly supportive community through Poem Pilates that continues to encourage and inspire me throughout my Pilates journey. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of the course and feel fully prepared to begin my Pilates teaching journey with the knowledge, confidence and skills to succeed. I could not recommend Poem Pilates highly enough.

I’m so glad I chose to train with Poem Pilates. The whole experience felt personal, supportive, and incredibly valuable.

This course gave me the knowledge, confidence, and tools to stand out in the ever-growing Pilates industry. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Cian is such a wonderful teacher and supported me throughout the entire process with regular check ins, encouragement, and valuable industry advice. The 1:1 sessions included alongside the online course are incredibly detailed, and Cian has a unique ability to explain how each exercise should feel in the body, adapting his teaching to every individual. He doesn’t just teach the Pilates textbook - he encourages you to think beyond it, exploring progressions, creative modifications, and the reasoning behind every exercise. By the end of the course, I felt equipped with an incredible amount of knowledge and inspiration. I was confident in my ability to lead a class safely and effectively, and the final assessment gave me the opportunity to teach a range of different bodies, which was fantastic preparation for teaching in the real world. Since completing the course, Cian has continued to support me by sharing opportunities and helping me find auditions and work within the industry. I am so grateful to Cian for his incredible teaching. His passion and dedication shine through in everything he does, and it was a privilege to learn from such an inspiring and knowledgeable teacher. I would wholeheartedly recommend Poem Pilates to anyone looking for an in-depth, flexible, and supportive Pilates education.
