Welcome, Real Pilates Teacher-in-Training Elizabeth Szendrody!
If you've been to the studio lately, you've likely met our newest apprentice, Elizabeth. Elizabeth first came to Bodywise as a client back in 2017. She was looking for a way to create better balance in her body and help avoid injury in her career as a professional dancer, a career that has taken her, quite literally, all over the globe since then!
Upon her return to central New York this past year, Elizabeth enrolled in the Real Pilates Teacher Training program. She is our first teacher-in-training to participate in a unique hybrid version of the program which allows her to complete the monthly seminars at Real Pilates NYC and the apprentice portion of the training here with us at bodywise.
We are delighted to have her keen eye and attentive spirit on our studio floor!
Since the start of the program five weeks ago, Elizabeth has been working with friends and family and a few others willing to be practice bodies as she develops her teaching skills. While some of you had previous familiarity with Joseph Pilates and his method, for others, it's been an entirely new approach to exercise and resistance training.
We sure hope you've fallen in love with the method (like we have), and we so enjoy all the new energy you all bring to the studio.
As Elizabeth's experience grows, the Apprentice Session rate will correspond with the number of hours she has accumulated.
0-100 hours- $10 Apprentice Sessions
101-400 hours- $25 Apprentice Sessions (begins April 1st)
401-completion- $40 Apprentice Sessions (begins June 1st)
Upon graduating the program- $55 Full Instructor Session Rate
Book your Apprentice Session with Elizabeth here!
Because Apprentice Sessions are designed for our apprentices to gather as much experience with as many different body types as possible while also providing a low cost introduction to the classical Pilates method, we do ask that you book only one Apprentice Session per client, per week. If you'd like to get into the studio more frequently, we totally get it! We gladly invite you to book a session (choose 1:1 with Instructor) or group class with one of our fully trained instructors!
Stay tuned; as Elizabeth progresses through her training, you ‘ll begin to see her name added to the group class schedule soon!
