New group Pilates reformer training launches

Balanced Body Education has launched a professional training programme to cater for the increasing demand for qualified group reformer Pilates instructors.

The new training aligns to Balanced Body’s incumbent Pilates reformer instructor programme and delivers certification equivalent to the completion of Levels 1 and 2 (out of 3). If instructors complete the new group reformer education and feel they want to extend their knowledge and learning, they can seamlessly join the reformer pilates instructor Level 3 to explore more creativity and put their own stamp on signature moves.

“Our new group reformer programme teaches all the fundamental Pilates techniques, skills and progressions needed to deliver engaging and results-driven group reformer classes, whilst also encouraging a degree of instructor creativity,” said Joy Puleo, Director of Education for Balanced Body. “Created with fitness professionals in mind, our aim was to develop an accessible and flexible education programme, without sacrificing the quality of movement, that would hold relevance to the instructor’s wider work with clients.

“Some Pilates education has a reputation of being long, expensive, rigid, and esoteric. We are breaking down those barriers whilst maintaining our exceptional education standards.”

The new Balanced Body Education offering was created in direct response to global market demand. As consumer interest in Pilates continues to rise, the availability of ‘oven-ready’ qualified instructors has lagged.
