The training

An immersive, supported pathway

Our Reformer Teacher Training is designed for students who are ready to deepen their understanding of the Pilates Reformer and develop the practical skills, confidence and teaching eye required to guide intelligent, safe and considered classes.

The program begins in October with 4 in-person training days, supported by a complete 100-hour training pathway. Across the training, students explore foundational Reformer repertoire spanning both the Classical Pilates method and Contemporary Reformer practice — studying spring selection, equipment safety, class planning, cueing, modifications, progressions, contraindications, observation skills, and the art of teaching different bodies in a group setting.

It combines in-person learning, online study, observation, self-practice and ongoing mentorship, so students are supported beyond the initial training days and into real teaching experience.

Following the course, you'll be supported through our community class program — where you can go on to teach straight away, gaining the real-world experience and mentorship you need to step into the industry with confidence.

Who it's for

Ready to teach with care

This training is for students ready to take their Reformer practice further and begin the process of becoming a thoughtful, safe and capable Reformer teacher.

It's suited to those who value depth, mentorship, practical experience and a slower, more supported pathway into teaching — not a rushed weekend certification.

Prerequisite: Prior Pilates knowledge is required. Students must have completed a Matwork Teacher Training Certificate before commencing this Reformer training.
Real teaching experience

Our community class program

The training doesn't end in the studio. Through our community class program, you'll step in and teach real Reformer classes — gaining genuine, in-front-of-real-bodies teaching experience while you're still supported by our team.

It's the stepping stone that gets your career going: build confidence, find your teaching voice, and step into the industry with real experience behind you.
