Your Teacher Trainer
Alexa is a 3rd generation certified Classical Pilates Teacher with 20 years experience in the health and wellness industry.
She was first introduced to Pilates by a colleague. In that first session her chronic knee pain went away and she was hooked on the Pilates method.
She decided to get certified so that she could share this method with as many others as possible. Especially, black and brown folks in her community who were generally not the main target audience in Pilates and very underrepresented. She is the founder of the social media platform @LowImapctFit where she shares her love for Pilates and has built a community of almost 1/2 a million followers.
Alexa completed her comprehensive training with 2nd generation teacher Joel Crosby and continues her education by attending sessions and workshops with senior teachers like Blossom Crawford, Jay Grimes, Els Lobedy and Cynthia Shipley.
“As a teacher I believe that every body is unique and love the focus that Classical Pilates places on finding what works best for the individual body”.

Why do you require more hours than most other trainings?
At Classical Kulture we do not believe in fast track Pilates trainings. As teachers you will need to understand the work within your own bodies in order to be ready to teach others. This takes time. Quality cannot be rushed. Similar to Karate you cannot become a blackbelt practitioner in a day. You have to work through every level to get become advanced enough to teach others. Classical Pilates is similar.
Joseph Pilates spent 40 years developing his system of exercises. most of his apprentices trained for 2-5 years before being given the permission to teach. Our training is for students who understand this is a lifelong journey instead of a quick fix.
Do you offer Payment plan options?
Yes, we have payment plan options available. Please contact us at classicalkulture@gmail.com for more details.
Why choose a classical Pilates teacher training?
Our classical teacher trainings focuses on teaching the original work as was taught by Joseph Pilates using classical equipment. We stay within the classical system of Pilates, teaching the original exercises and sequences because quite simply put, it works best when trying to help a variety of bodies and gets people results. There is no other style of Pilates that has been tested for as long as the classical work or produces the type of results we see in the classical work.
CKP apprentices learn how the classical work applies to all bodies and how to use the whole system of Pilates when working with their clients.
Classically trained teachers are equipped to teach all bodies in any studio, be it classical or contemporary.
