Practice & Observation Hours
-
Yes. Pilates & Fitness TV can support your learning and movement development as you work toward NPCP eligibility.
However, NPCP does not approve or reject specific sources of observation or physical review hours. Instructor-training programs determine where you may complete those hours—not the NPCP.
To review the NPCP’s official eligibility requirements, including the number of hours needed, please refer directly to:
NPCP Certification Requirements
https://nationalpilatescertificationprogram.org/NPCP/NPCP/Get_Certified/Requirements.aspx?hkey=bc71aa1f-d2b5-4c7a-a3ba-f12b51e6a6c6 -
It depends on the school.
Each program sets its own rules for what qualifies.
Some accept external video-based hours, while others require hours learned only within their system.Always confirm directly with your instructor trainer or program administrator.
-
Yes — Pilates & Fitness TV offers a large video collection created specifically for students enrolled in STOTT PILATES® Instructor Training. These workouts and teaching-focused sessions may count toward observation and physical review hours as required within the instructor training pathway. All approved content has been reviewed by the STOTT PILATES® Academy to ensure alignment with the program curriculum and to support exam preparation.
Students can use this collection to observe class structure, cueing, pacing, and programming demonstrated by STOTT PILATES Certified Instructors as they progress through their training.
Classes that do NOT qualify:
Classes taught by any instructor not currently STOTT certified
-
Merrithew’s eligibility rules are based solely on the current certification status of the instructor.
Eligible hours may be completed with:
A current STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructor, or
A current STOTT PILATES® Instructor Trainer
Hours completed with instructors who are not current in their STOTT PILATES® certifications cannot be counted.
-
Absolutely.
Many trainees use P&FTV to support:
Movement refinement
Additional practice
Learning different cueing strategies
Exercise review
Conditioning
Exposure to multiple teaching lineages
It complements formal training across many methods.
-
P&FTV features a dynamic team of experienced instructors, including:
NPCP Certified instructors (all P&FTV instructors hold this credential)
Current STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructors & Instructor Trainers
Professionals trained through Balanced Body, classical lineages, BASI, Club Pilates, Peak and other respected schools
This multi-lineage approach reflects the breadth of today’s Pilates industry.
-
Your school or training program determines which hours qualify, not NPCP and not P&FTV.
Proprietary schools (e.g., STOTT PILATES®, BASI, Balanced Body, Peak, classical programs) each have unique guidelines.
NPCP only defines how many hours are required—not where they must be completed.
Always confirm with your instructor trainer or program coordinator.
