Common questions
Frequently asked.
What's the difference between Malaysia and Bali? +
Both lead to the same Born Pilates Reformer certification and the same guaranteed job placement. Malaysia is a 7 day in person intensive in Johor Bahru ($1,600 USD, next intake 7 to 13 September 2026). Bali is an 8 day, 7 night retreat in Amed that combines the certification with accommodation, all meals, diving, and snorkeling (from $3,500 USD, 24 to 31 August 2026). Pick the experience that fits your life.
Do I need prior Pilates experience? +
We expect a minimum of 6 months of consistent Reformer practice. You don't need a prior certification, but you do need a body that already understands the work.
Will the certification be recognised internationally? +
Yes. Born Pilates certification is recognised across our partner studio network in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Taiwan, and meets the practical hour standards for boutique studio employers across Asia and beyond.
Is there really a guaranteed teaching job? +
Yes. Both programs include guaranteed job placement once you certify. Our graduates teach at partner studios including Agape Movement and Sama Sculpt, and across Asia.
Do you offer payment plans? +
Yes. Two part and three part payment plans are available for both programs. We'll walk you through them on your application call.
What happens after I graduate? +
You join the Born Pilates teaching family for life. Free ongoing training, priority hiring at our partner studios, and a global network of 100+ instructors across Asia.
