suitable exercises for beginners and deconditioned clientele, through to high level athletes
and seasoned Pilates devotees.
This course is for any exercise professional taking a job in a Group Reformer studio through
to a health professional wanting to establish their own studio and to deliver programs that
are well founded and involve some “clinical reasoning” We deliver a course that will give
you a deeper understanding of exercise delivery, planning and specificity and the confidence
and understand of the dynamics of what you are delivering.
