Created by a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and Professional Fitness Instructor, Pelacore is a powerful core strengthening program that fuses the science of physical therapy with core techniques from Pilates, yoga and barre.
ENROLL NOWAs a physical therapist and fitness instructor, I’ve used pelvic core fitness to help thousands of people reduce lower back pain, eliminate incontinence, increase muscular endurance, improve posture and resolve other problems caused by a weak pelvic core.
I created the Pelacore Training Course to teach this transformative core strengthening method to rehab and fitness professionals who want to expand their knowledge about the lumbopelvic anatomy (including the pelvic core and pelvic floor), grow their career opportunities and help their clients feel amazing again. Pelacore is especially beneficial for athletes, women who are pregnant, post-partum or menopausal, people who have had pelvic surgery, men who have had prostate surgery and people with sexual dysfunction.
Pelacore is trusted by trainers, physical therapists, physicians and chiropractors, and it’s accredited by the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

Pelacore is a unique fitness program that can help you attract new clients, grow your income and significantly improve your professional marketability. Many of our physical therapy and wellness center partners hire independent Certified Pelacore Instructors to teach classes or train patients one-on-one at their locations. If you are already an instructor, Pelacore can help you become even better at what you do by providing you with anatomical education and training techniques specific to the lumbopelvic anatomy so that you can better train clients and help them prevent injury.Remember, the Pelacore Training Course does not allow you to teach Pelacore Classes. To do so, you must submit a demo video for approval in order to become a Certified Pelacore Instructor. Completing the Pelacore Training Course and passing the multiple choice exam does allow you to receive 3 CEUs from NASM/AFAA.

You can submit your demo video to us through Dropbox or any other file sharing service. You can also post it as a private video on YouTube or Vimeo, and invite us to view it. We’ll review your demo video, and, upon approval, we’ll certify you to teach Pelacore classes and private sessions to the public. We’ll also send you a new certificate acknowledging that you are a Certified Pelacore Instructor. The $50 review fee will need to be submitted at the same time as the demo video. Please contact us for instructions on how to submit payment.

The incidence of pelvic floor dysfunction is expected to double over the next decade, resulting in positive implications for those who administer pelvic floor related fitness and training programs. Pelvic floor dysfunctions happen to people of all ages and is particularly predominant in athletes, pregnant women, women who have given birth, women with menopause, and people who have had back, pelvic or prostate surgery. With few available treatment options, many people have traditionally turned to potentially addictive pain medications or surgery. But now, thanks to Pelacore, more people are turning to pelvic core fitness, a safe and effective way to improve lower back pain, incontinence, poor endurance and other pelvic floor and core dysfunctions.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are needed for fitness instructors, personal trainers and medical professionals to keep current with accreditation and licensing.
Pelacore classes can be set up and taught almost anywhere with minimal cost. Everything you need should cost under $100 per person and can be reused for every class. These products are available at most fitness stores and can also be easily ordered on Amazon.com. Here’s what you’ll need:
Generally, you’ll need about 35 square feet per client, plus space for props and the Instructor. So, for a class of 10 people, including a Pelacore Instructor, you would need around 400 square feet or less, about the size of a large bedroom.
Group classes can be any size, depending on your facility size and equipment, but classes tend to be more intimate when limited to 10 to 12 people per instructor.
We recommend that clients attend Pelacore classes at least once per week to start. Beginner clients will need to develop a regular routine in order to get their body used to moving in a new way. After they acclimate, they should eventually transition to 3 classes per week.
Yes! In fact, many of our instructors only offer private lessons.
The average price for a one hour private session is $80, although this can range from $50 to $250, depending on location and your experience.
Like any physical therapy practice, wellness center, fitness professional or personal trainer, it is important to have liability insurance. If you already have an insurance policy or if you work at a physical therapy, practice, wellness center, gym or fitness studio, please check with your insurance agent or broker to see if you are covered for liability insurance.
