Reimagining Pilates Education & Training

We’ve prioritized a high quality user experience, delivering approachable Pilates education for studios & instructors that honours the legacy of Pilates through a modern lens.

We’ve created a hybrid learning environment that offers both flexibility and high value educational content.

No need for 500-page manuals or rushing through material in a weekend. Our platform is designed for knowledge seekers and visual learners — who are eager to become leaders in Pilates among their community.

Meet Cara Hazelton

An esteemed Pilates teacher for nearly 20 years with over 25,000 hours of hands-on teaching experience, Cara owns two established Pilates studios and leads the largest Classical Pilates teacher training program in Canada. Since 2014, Cara has served as a teacher trainer, graduating dozens of comprehensively trained Pilates instructors worldwide. Her approach is deeply informed by a Master’s Degree in the Science of Kinesiology, ensuring that both her teaching and training programs are grounded in contemporary movement science.

LEAD Pilates was born out of a desire to equalize access to reliable Pilates knowledge, education, and training. Cara’s methodology values skill and integrity, believing it to be the foundation of every Pilates offering, whether it’s Pilates private training, Reformer fitness, or fun Mat classes with props. In creating an online learning platform, known as LEAD, Cara hopes to expand her reach as an educator — fostering healthier bodies, informed practitioners, and thriving studios built on trust and expertise.

We’re solving a problem.

The Pilates industry has exploded in recent years, with an estimated value of 161.98 B USD  in 2024, and projected to grow to 175.88 B USD in 2025. Studios are opening at record-fast rates, but well trained Pilates instructors are in low supply. To solve for this, we’re leveraging LMS technology, backed by decades of experience, to deliver what we know best — Pilates education and teacher training for instructors, studio owners and Pilates enthusiasts alike.
