Pilates Teacher Training

Tranter Pilates (Est. 1997) with Host Studio The 24th Hour

Classical Pilates Teacher Training

 MAT & REFORMER Certification

The 24th Hour is the home studio of Tranter Pilates, a comprehensive classical Pilates teacher training system rooted in the original work and intention of Joseph Pilates. Established in 1997, the programme is part of the Tranter Academy of Teacher Training, and all certification takes place at The 24th Hour studios.

Founded by Monica Tranter, a 2nd Generation Pilates Master Instructor trained under Lawrence Hayward, Joseph Pilates’ first student and teacher with direct lineage also connected to Romana Kryzanowska and STOTT Pilates, this certification bridges classical Pilates integrity with modern anatomical understanding, performance-based movement, and transformational teaching principles.

This is not a quick certification course.

This is a complete educational system designed to develop highly skilled, intelligent, and confident Pilates instructors capable of teaching with precision, purpose, and presence.

REGISTER YOUR INTEREST

Move with precision. Strengthen with control. Restore with presence.

Control strengthens the body. Stillness restores the mind.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At The 24th Hour, we believe Pilates is more than exercise — it is a way of life.

Rooted in the original principles of Joseph Pilates and the classical system of Contrology, our training partner Tranter Pilates teaches that movement, posture, breath, alignment, and body awareness should extend far beyond the studio and into everyday life.

Pilates is not something practiced for one hour a day. It is a system intended to support how we move at work, at home, in sport, and throughout daily living.

Our mission is to preserve the integrity of the classical Pilates method while training highly skilled instructors with deep anatomical understanding, precision, discipline, and respect for the complete system as Joseph Pilates intended.

Classic Foundations Workshop

Three hours of classical Pilates, from the source. Start here before teacher training, or come for a classical grounding.

Led by Monica Tranter and her Tranter Pilates Classic head instructors. We begin with classical Pilates breathing, explore the anatomy of the core and pelvic floor, and work on pelvic floor stability. Then we put everything into practice in a guided session, and finish with time for your questions.

Ideal for anyone looking for general strength and a solid classical foundation, and for anyone living with pelvic floor weakness, bladder control concerns, lower back pain or returning to movement after injury. Also a great first step for students thinking about teacher training, and for teachers who want a classical grounding.
