The Midwest Pilates Institute offers a comprehensive Pilates teacher training program. In 2010 MPI voluntarily sought out the Wisconsin Education Approval Board committee to consider our teaching training program for post-secondary education state approval. In 2011, after a lengthy and tedious approval process the Midwest Pilates Institute become the first state-approved Pilates school in Wisconsin and one of only a few in the nation.

The Midwest Pilates Institute is not a franchise. There are no hidden fees or partial programs in our agreement. We do not offer a “fast track” to learning the intricacies and beauty of the Pilates Method. We produce teachers who want to be the very best at what they do.

“I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Sjogren’s Syndrome 14 years ago. I have suffered chronic fatigue and inflammation and ached of the joints. Since starting Pilates with Ej Movement, my level of discomfort has lessened to the point that i can extend my therapeutic massages from 2-3 weeks out of 3-4 weeks… what a difference! Thanks Em!”
