LAVA Launches New Pilates School in Shinjuku
LAVA International, a well-known operator of over 700 hot yoga studios, has announced an exciting new initiative: the establishment of
F PILATES Shinjuku, a specialized Pilates instructor training school. Located right in front of Shinjuku Gyoen Station, this new school is set to open on
September 1, 2025. Designed to provide a comprehensive education for aspiring instructors, F PILATES Shinjuku aims to produce highly skilled professionals ready to thrive in the fitness industry.
The Concept Behind F PILATES Shinjuku
With the core belief that “through Pilates, we will increase the number of healthy individuals,” the school aims to create instructors who can effectively contribute to society. With over 15 years of experience in teacher training through
FIRST SHIP, LAVA is well-equipped with the necessary expertise to ensure rapid and thorough instruction. Students will engage in practical training, preparing them to deliver high-quality lessons right after graduation.
The Demand for Specialized Pilates Training
Pilates is famous for its transformative potential, promising that with just a few sessions, one can feel better, change their appearance, and ultimately achieve a healthier body. Machine Pilates, in particular, has gained popularity for its efficiency in refining and balancing the body using specialized equipment. Given the increasing demand for certified Pilates instructors, LAVA responded by launching F PILATES Shinjuku, which will offer thorough training for both machine and mat Pilates.
Comprehensive Support for Trainees
At F PILATES Shinjuku, there’s a commitment to ensuring every graduate steps into their first teaching role without delay. The school provides exclusive lesson slots for graduates, guaranteeing a pathway to instructor debut. In addition to gaining practical experience through lessons held both in-studio and online, graduates enjoy benefits such as exemption from the document selection process and recommendations for jobs within LAVA or its partner companies.
Overview of Training Courses
FPS Certified Machine Pilates Instructor Training
In this training, students will master over 30 exercises using the
Reformer, a machine specifically designed for Pilates. Unlike typical courses, every student will have access to their own Reformer during sessions, ensuring personalized attention from instructors. This course facilitates qualification in just
five days, even for those without prior experience.
FPS Certified Mat Pilates Instructor Training
This program emphasizes inner awareness and harmonious body movement, targeting a well-balanced physique. Students also practice teaching simulations to prepare for real lessons. Like the Reformer course, qualification can be achieved in
five days with more than 30 exercises taught.
Double Certification: FPS Pilates 60-Hour Set
Combining both Machine and Mat Pilates, this intensive course is structured to reach instructor level in just
10 days. Covering over 30 exercises of each type, this dual qualification allows for a broader approach to training and meets diverse user needs, thereby enhancing future career opportunities.
