Pilatessuisse

An association dedicated to the Pilates method

About us

  1. We are a non-profit association dedicated to the Pilates method. In Switzerland, the name "Pilates" is currently not protected by a patent and therefore anyone can teach Pilates. As a result, there are large differences in the level and quality of education provided. Pilatessuisse is committed and strives to meet the highest quality standards and to defend the integrity and professionalism of the Pilates method. By developing guidelines and quality standards, the federation intends to offer clients as well as aspiring Pilates trainers a choice of Pilates studios and trainers who can offer robust professional Pilates training. Pilatessuisse encourages professional exchange between its members. Through ongoing training, workshops and regular exchanges, the federation aspires to security guarantee, public relations and mutual support. We strive to obtain official recognition of the Pilates method for our members by public authorities, insurance companies and other known bodies.

Overview of accessions

Three different accessions are possible

 Individual membership

 Designed for trained Pilates teachers who can justify knowledge of the complete Pilates method, as well as the methodology. The training certificate must include the requirements of the Pilatessuissse Teacher Training Program guidelines.

You can also register as a student.  Provisional membership is for people who do not yet meet all the conditions for full membership (e.g. because they are still in training). As soon as all the conditions are met, full membership may be applied. You have 2 years to finish your education. 




 Studio Membership

 

Studio membership allows individuals who run their own studios and are full members of the Pilatessuisse to make optimal use of the committee and its public occasions for their positioning within the Pilates sector. Studio membership does not entitle you to an additional voting right in addition to full individual membership.

 School Membership

 

As a Pilates training organisation, you can register you school to Pilatessuisse. Pilatessuisse prepares and publishes a list of training organisations (TO) that offer Pilates training in line with the Pilatessuisse requirements/conditions. Graduates from a TO recognised by Pilatessuisse meet the criteria for acceptance into the association. In order for a TO to be accepted onto the list, it must meet precised criterias and conditions defined in the membership section.
