Erin Switzer- 2023 Graduate

“My experience becoming certified through the Gramercy Pilates NYC Certification School Comprehensive Mat and Equipment Program was above and beyond what I expected. I chose Gramercy to complete my training because of the emphasis that it places on truly understanding the anatomy and learning to apply science to movement. I wasn’t interested in spending money on a virtual training program that was bare bones. Through the entire process, I have received continued support and education from the staff. Katherine and Constantia did an outstanding job facilitating the lectures and took the opportunity to provide teaching moments while I was completing my program hour requirements. This program stands out because Ernie, one of the the studio owners and author of the program, is always around the studio to provide education. I am now teaching Pilates as my full time job, and many of my colleagues are graduates of Gramercy Pilates as well. Passionate people produce high quality results. Selecting Gramercy Pilates was the right decision”.
