Course Prerequisites

  • There are no specific or formal entry requirements to enrol in this course, however, it will require a considerable investment in time and effort from you, so a passion for Reformer Pilates is essential.

  • I would certainly advise that you have completed a couple of months of Reformer Sessions before committing to this course... but if you're reading this, it's already too late, because you are obviously on the course!

  • Any prior fitness or Pilates knowledge or training will undoubtedly help to accelerate your learning experience, however on competition of this course you will have to demonstrate over 100 hours of self-practice and we will ensure you will be more than ready to deliver safe, fun and effective Reformer sessions without any ongoing supervision.

  • At the same time, please acknowledge that this course should be considered the foundation of your Reformer learning experience and ongoing study will only help to improve your skills.
