"I have been through many trainings at this point and this by far is my favorite. The book is straight forward and the information is presented in a way one can understand. The video library and the live and recorded seminars are an excellent way to go back and re-listen to what was taught. Every detail has been so carefully thought through right down to the tracking sheet. "

Those who join have goals of making an impact -- on themselves and others
We see it all the time.
- Pilates has made a positive impact on your life
- You want to share the magic of Pilates with others
- You can envision yourself connecting and impacting others using Pilates as the tool
Now, imagine a Pilates Teacher Training Program that
âť–
Prepares you to actually TEACH clients of all shapes, sizes and abilities. Teaching doesn't mean telling someone what to do. It is communicating, re-communicating, improving and problem solving to achieve the intended result
âť–
Develops your business acumen so that you can become a valued and successful member of our ever-growing industry.
âť–
Mentors and prepares you for real life's modifications, variations, injuries and challenges that occur when teaching movement. We don't just teach you how to teach perfectly fit and in-shape clients but regular people wherever they are in their movement journey.
âť–
Provides you with ALL levels of your training so that when your client is ready to progress, so are you. Reformer 1 will only carry you for so long before your clients are ready for more. Be prepared to progress your client on their timeline, not your teacher training program's schedule.
Â
This is what EYT Pilates Teacher Training is all about.

After graduation she moved to the Chicago area. She was certified by Michele Larsson of Core Dynamics Pilates in 2002. She worked with and was influenced by many wonderful Pilates Instructors from the center of Chicago and the Deerfield Multiplex, where she was Director of a successful Pilates program in 2003.
In 2006 she founded Swan Dive Center for Pilates with her late business partner, Susie Pines. For 16 years Susie and Wendy’s partnership created a studio known for its care, concern and highly skilled Pilates and therapeutic massage therapy services. Wendy is dedicated to carrying Susie’s love and drive for helping people into all of the work that is done at Swan Dive.
Over the 20 years Wendy has taught Pilates, she has experienced working with members of the Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Sky.

MEET HELEN.
EYT MASTER TEACHER & SWAN DIVE CENTER FOR PILATES SR. TEACHER
Helen Hackett came to Swan Dive after teaching Pilates Reformer and doing personal training for many years at a large health club in the area. Helen’s approach is to improve her clients’ strength, flexibility and functionality through exercise modalities which are meaningful to them as individuals.
After leaving a demanding career as an attorney, Helen found a true passion for fitness while staying home as a full-time parent. Beginning as a Group Exercise instructor in 2003, she taught indoor cycling and a variety of strength-based formats for nearly 10 years. During the pandemic, she led five livestream workouts each week. Helen knows from her own experience how intimidating exercise can be for many people.

She has also worked with clients with a wide variety of special issues including back, shoulder, and knee problems as well as medical issues such as Parkinson’s, diabetes and cancer (post-treatment).
