If you’re training in-person or online, you can expect personalised guidance, hands-on support where needed and an educational experience built with exceptional care.
Why REFORM Is Different
REFORM Teacher Training was built to be the opposite of the rushed, surface-level, high-volume certifications that are common in the industry.
Here, your education is personal, thorough and thoughtfully designed.
-
Our training goes beyond exercise lists. You will learn:
How the body moves
How to cue safely and effectively
How to design meaningful classes
How to modify for injuries and individual needs
This is the kind of education that sets you apart as a teacher.
-
Your training doesn’t end when the modules do.
We provide guidance at every stage, from your first question to your first class, so you feel confident, prepared and supported. -
In-person training is capped at small numbers to ensure real attention, hands-on correction and strong teaching foundations.
-
Our online programs are designed to mirror the depth and structure of our in-person training, providing clarity, flexibility and real-world application.
-
Studios consistently seek out REFORM graduates because they arrive with:
Strong anatomical knowledge
Clear cueing
Safe and intelligent sequencing
Professionalism and confidence
Your training gives you the skills studios trust.
Accreditations and Industry Recognition
REFORM certifications are internationally recognised and approved through CANFITPRO, NASM & AFAA.
Our in person Reformer course is additionally recognised by AUSActive, offering further credibility within Australia.
These accreditations allow you to teach confidently in:
Pilates and Barre studios
Gyms and fitness centres
Corporate wellness settings
Retreats and events
Private sessions
Online environments
We believe great teachers are created through clear education, strong foundations, meaningful practice and mentorship, and a deep understanding of the why behind movement. We value an environment that encourages growth, curiosity and thoughtful questioning.
At REFORM, you are never just a student number. You are guided, supported and encouraged at every stage of your learning journey.
Your Teaching Journey Starts Here
If you choose an online course, an in-person training or a combination of both, you will graduate with the skills, confidence and clarity to teach safely and professionally.
REFORM Teacher Training is here to give you the best possible start and a pathway that leads to a career you truly love.
