Reformer is a dynamic and strengthening method of Pilates with similar fundamentals as Matwork. A comprehensive understanding of the two is highly beneficial to your teaching, deepening your understanding of the human body, the fundamental movements, layering techniques and programming.
Reformer Pilates has taken over the world with various methods and techniques available to practise, study and teach. With all the knowledge circulating, it can feel daunting to embark on your own journey within this growing space.
This journal will take a closer look at the barriers to becoming a Reformer instructor and how to overcome these.
Have you completed your matwork or reformer training and feel overwhelmed by all the information?
The Pilates industry is rapidly growing and evolving, making your career path both enviable, enjoyable and highly sought after. There are various training courses available, from traditional Pilates methods to modern forms of training and techniques. You might be experiencing information overload, or on the other hand, confusion about how to streamline your teaching with the right advice and resources.
Fluidform Training offers a comprehensive course, combining Kirsten King’s effective and technical method with her warm and approachable teaching style. The course includes online learning workshops with practical learning – focusing on programming for each individual client and evolving your own self-mastery.
If you are looking to further your knowledge as an instructor or revisit your teaching career after a few years off, Fluidform Training provides a personalised and supportive approach to a well-established, sophisticated training platform.
Don’t own a reformer?
Whether you are wanting to start your career as an instructor, or evolve your previous training repertoire, our Fluidform Reformer Training is available for everyone. We know not everyone has access to a reformer at home, or free access to a reformer studio. This is why we created our Fluidform Reformer training, so you can complete your training in any location.
Interested in purchasing an at-home Reformer machine?
We recommend the Balance Body model through HF Industries. The Metro IQ Reformer by Balanced Body has all the features of our studio Reformers, designed to be set up in seconds and neatly stored away. Making it the ultimate home-use Reformer for your personal Fluidform at Home studio. It is light and easily transportable, making it a great addition to your Fluidform at home workouts.
Do you live close to a Fluidform Studio?
We have studios located in Surry Hills, Clovelly, Bondi Beach, Rosebery and Newcastle in New South Wales, and Malvern, Victoria and Brisbane, Ascot. Get in touch to book a Reformer class or spend some time in the studio putting your teaching to practice. You are more than welcome to email your local Fluidform studio to enquire if you can complete some observation hours there, nothing is more beneficial to your training than watching our amazing instructors!
Do you live close to a Reformer Pilates studio?
The online learning component, including each digital workshop, your manual and handbook will provide a comprehensive understanding of the Reformer fundamental movements, layering techniques, programming, integration of small equipment and pre & postnatal teaching. This learning combined with your own practice (frequent reformer classes) will help to put your knowledge into action. Anyone with access to Reformer Pilates classes will be able to evolve their learning through this physical experience.
We recommend speaking to your studio owner or instructor about spending some time after your class, familiarising yourself with the machine and practising your learnings. Just 20 minutes, a few times a week will be enough to support your online training.
Our Fluidform Reformer training has 5 workshops with roughly 6-8 weeks allocated for each. This includes online theory, self-mastery practice, observation and teaching hours. We have students from all around the world, creating a warm and vibrant international community of students and instructors. Our Fluidform instructors not only have the ability to enhance their own lives, but the lives of their clients.
If expanding your Pilates knowledge is something that interests you, we are very excitingly launching our Reformer training this April. We would love to hear from you, email us any questions you may have at training@fluidform.com.au.
