We are the main training site for the Beyond The Basics Pilates Teacher Certification Program.

Jacqueline Weiner and Louis Gonzales are both PMA Certified and received their Pilates training from Core Dynamics, a comprehensive Pilates training program based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Core Dynamics was developed by Michelle Larson, who studied Pilates with Eve Gentry. Ms. Gentry is considered a First Generation teacher, which means she was trained directly by Mr. Joseph Pilates. In fact, Ms. Gentry practiced with Mr. Pilates for over 25 years.

Under the Core Dynamics Training Program, both Jackie and Louis completed a minimum of 450 hours spent in intensive weekend training workshops; anatomy classes; observing, assisting and teaching under certified Pilates instructors; and self directed practice to gain proficiency in the Pilates method. Upon mastering the basic principles of Pilates, demonstrated through passing an array of tests, both were awarded certificates of successful completion. Both Jackie and Louis have complimented their traditional training with additional hours spent in Pre-Natal Pilates and Pilates for Osteoporosis workshops. They both continue to increase their knowledge and understanding of the human body through workshops and conferences.

Jacqueline Weiner has been practicing Pilates since 1997 and has been teaching Pilates since 2002. Prior to that, she also taught yoga. Jackie began her Pilates teaching career in the Hamptons during the summer of 2002 and has been teaching at different Pilates studios and fitness centers around Miami Beach, Florida since 2005.

Louis Gonzales has been teaching Pilates since 2005 at different Pilates studios and fitness centers ( i.e. Mandarin Hotel, Sports Club LA, Pilates Miami and Energy Fitness ) around South Florida. Prior to his career in Pilates, Louis was in the corporate world of finance..

Together, they bring a balance of yin and yang energy to the studio.
