The Rise of Reformer Pilates: Why Instructors Need More
Reformer Pilates has surged in popularity, captivating fitness enthusiasts with its dynamic and versatile workouts. However, as an instructor, focusing solely on the Reformer can limit your potential and the growth of your practice. Explore why expanding your expertise beyond the Reformer is essential for a comprehensive Pilates education.
The Reformer Pilates Trend:
Reformer Pilates is beloved for its moving carriage, adjustable springs, and various attachments. It offers a full-body workout that can be tailored to different fitness levels and goals. The novelty and effectiveness of Reformer Pilates have made it a go-to choice for many looking to strengthen and tone their bodies.
Why Instructors Need More:
While the Reformer is an incredible tool, the full spectrum of Pilates (and its various apparatus) offers unique benefits that the Reformer alone cannot provide. The Cadillac, Barrels, and Chairs (and more!) bring their strengths to a Pilates practice, helping to address different aspects of fitness, rehabilitation, mobility, and accessibility to this method.
In our Level 2: Advanced Apparatus course we teach you the WHY behind incorporating more apparatus into your client’s program.
The Tower and Cadillac: This versatile apparatus allows for a wide range of exercises and often is the best place for new clients to start because of its support and proprioceptive benefits.
The Barrels: Apparatus like the Spine Corrector and Ladder Barrel are excellent for enhancing spinal mobility and core strength. The supportive round shape is a perfect place for clients learning the different spinal shapes in Pilates, making the work accessible and effective.
The Chairs: The Wunda Chair and High Chair provide challenging balance and strength exercises. They are compact yet versatile, making them a valuable addition to any Pilates studio.
By mastering all Pilates apparatus, you can offer more specialized sessions, attract a diverse clientele, and command higher rates. This not only enhances your professional value but also significantly boosts your earnings.
Our Level 1 and Level 2 training programs equip graduates with a comprehensive 250-hour certification each. Completing both programs meets the industry standard of 500 hours, compared to some certifications that may not meet this benchmark. This thorough training ensures you are well-prepared to offer the highest quality Pilates instruction.
Upcoming Level 2 Training Dates (2024):
July 21 & 22: Advanced Mat and Reformer Systems
