Mat training at The Works was one of the most impactful experiences of my life! This journey helped me grow not only physically, but mentally. I gained confidence in myself and it connected me with such an amazing and supportive community. 
Katie Freeman

The Works Mat Training 2026

The Works Mat Training truly transformed me as an instructor. I learned so much, not only about the Works Mat Method itself, but also about anatomy, cueing, and how to create an engaging and fun experience for clients. The training helped me become more dynamic and confident in my teaching style while deepening my understanding of movement and how to better connect with clients in class. What I love most is that the training challenged me to grow while still making the learning process enjoyable and supported.

”
Mat training was the absolute best 100 hours. It gave me confidence within myself I didn't know was there, deepened my knowledge of mat, elevated my love for the practice, and sparked more creativity in my sequencing. If you're having the slightest thought to do mat training, do it! Bonus- you're learning from the best! Maddy is a legend and a love.

The Works Mat teacher training has helped me grow into a more confident, grounded, and empowered version of myself. It challenged me to try new things while showing me how powerful movement can be for the body and the mind. It was definitely one of my favorite experiences ever!

”
Mat training taught me that consistency > perfection. It made me feel stronger physically, but honestly even more mentally too. I think having such a strong foundation and learning the basics first is so important — once you have the tools, you can really start making it your own.
