While researching the many possibilities for Pilates Certification, the recommendations to participate in Peak Pilates System Level I Training, taught
by Cameron Macdonald were overwhelming. My experience in this program has proved each recommendation true.
Cameron’s knowledge, experience, and passion for The Pilates Method is contagious. Her expertise and unique ability to educate is unmatched in
the area. “PPS-I” has given me the necessary tools to become a confident Pilates instructor and has provided me with incredible insight of my own
practice.
“ Cam’s spirit and teaching abilities embody the essence of Pilates. She truly embraces the Method, not just as a teacher, but also as a practitioner.
Being part of the Peak program and having her as an instructor has enabled me to not only gain a better understanding of Pilates as a way of moving,
but also improve my life by understanding Pilates as a way of BEING. Cam creates a classroom environment filled with encouragement, aspirations
and knowledge. She recognizes her students as individuals and allows us to see the Method through our own eyes, all the while giving us more
insight and understanding by seeing it through hers. I am more confident about my teaching skills and knowledge because of Cam’s ability to
encourage me and help me succeed. I will forever smile every time I say pantyline and think of her !”
With my Type A personality fully engaged, I researched every Pilates certification program available, and decided on Peak. Under the expert
tutelage of Cameron, I used my body and mind in ways I had never done before. When I was notified I had passed PPS1 (which by the way, was
more grueling than the Maryland State Bar Exam), I was ecstatic and thankful that my record of never having failed anything was still intact. What
started as a project to ensure that I hired competent instructors, has turned into a quest to truly have “Pilates in my body.” I continue to study
with Cameron and look forward to PPSII, III, 1V…
Peak PPS1 Training $2200.00

Training with Cameron Priceless
My training with Peak Pilates and specifically Cameron Macdonald at Precision Pilates has made all the difference in my confidence and competence
levels when it comes to really being able to embody and communicate/teach classical Pilates in a wide variety of venues and with a very wide range
of individuals. The learning format and pace were exactly what I needed to spend ample time with the material and still complete the various
components in a timely manner.
I cannot say enough about Cameron’s ability, experience, and teaching techniques. I could not imagine feeling this confident with anyone else or any
other school of Pilates training. She really expects the best of her students and accepts nothing less when helping them achieve this. She seems to
do this by showing them that Pilates can be a vehicle for them to grow not only as Fitness/Wellness professionals but as individuals who embody a
better way of doing things. She is amazing on so many levels.
