Pilates Reformer Instructor Training Course - Foundation Course

This exciting new Pilates Reformer Instructor training course will give you all the tools you need to safely and effectively teach through the MK Pilates repertoire (stage 01 to stage 02) to all levels on the Studio Reformer. You can also combine this training with your Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Mat Pilates and take the option of the extended diploma to enhance your repertoire of exercises both for the mat and the reformer.

We give you all you need to safely and effectively teach your client through the MK Pilates repertoire to all levels in a One to One personal training environment and in group reformer sessions with sample progressive programmes provided.

Final Assessment: to gain your certification in the Pilates Reformer Instructor Training – Foundation Certificate you must pass all parts.

• A period of self-practice with an appropriate repertoire for your personal physical needs followed by a video submission of a self-practice session of 45 minutes covering the appropriate use of all areas of the Reformer with box-work.  This will be accompanied by a written programme with movement selection goals and a personal critique of your own technique.
• You will also attend an assessment day and be observed taking a client through a movement assessment and teach a client an appropriate repertoire of Studio Reformer exercises for one hour. If you can not attend an assessment day you can also submit this by video.
