Frequently Asked Questions

Our course is 100% online and self-paced, so you can certify around your existing schedule, with no studio franchise or prior licence required.
How much does Pilates instructor training cost?
Reformer certification typically ranges from around US$1,000 to US$3,000 depending on depth and whether it's in-person or online. Our online reformer certification is priced to be career-friendly and includes lifetime access to the material — see pricing above.
Do I need experience or a mat Pilates certification first?
No. The course suits brand-new instructors as well as certified mat teachers adding reformer to their toolkit. We start with the fundamentals and build up to real-world class programming.
Is an online reformer Pilates certification recognised?
Yes — our certification is internationally recognised and studio-ready. Because we've run reformer studios ourselves for 25 years, the training is built around what actually works on the floor, not just theory.
How long does it take to get certified?
Because it's self-paced, most students finish in 4 to 8 weeks studying part-time — faster if you're focused, slower if you're fitting it around work.
What's the difference between a reformer and a mat Pilates certification?
A mat certification covers floor-based work; a reformer certification adds the machine — spring resistance, carriage safety, client setup and reformer-specific programming. Reformer-qualified instructors are in higher demand and can command higher class rates.
