The iconic Pilates Reformer is the most well known and recognizable piece of Pilates equipment.  It is a very versatile and universal exercise machine that allows for a wide range of exercises.
 
Our Reformer Teacher Training course is delivered on site at Elite Pilates Studio, here in Devon.   Some home-study is recommended prior to attending the 2-day intensive practical face-to-face training.   Home study can include gaining practical experience at a local studio (if possible) and watching our specifically made reformer videos that go hand in hand with your Reformer Course Workbook.
 
We only take 4 on every course so that you have ample playing time on the reformer! (Yay!)
 
The Elite Reformer Teacher Training course will cover basic and intermediate exercise, specifically selected because although they are challenging the are still accessible to the general population.   There is no point learning all the advanced reformer movements if you won’t be able to use them because they are too challenging and dangerous!
