5 YEARS OF REFORMER TRAINING π
5 years ago today, PilatEASE Training School delivered our very first Foundation Level 1 Reformer Instructor course.
A course written by us.
A grand total of TWO students in the room (you know who you are Jayne and Jillates - Pilates with Jill).
And the beginning of something weβre incredibly proud of.
Fast forward five years and weβve now trained well over 100 future Reformer instructors, many of whom are out there teaching, building businesses, opening studios and absolutely smashing it.
To know that we've played even a small part in adding so many brilliant instructors to this thriving industry makes us VERY proud. π
And after five years of developing, delivering and continually improving our own Reformer training, it feels like the perfect time for the next chapter...
Weβve got some VERY exciting Reformer Training School news to share with you later today.
And trust us, this one's a biggie.
Watch this space... π

You do not need to be a personal trainer before you train as a Pilates teacher.
You do not need to have taught exercise.
You do not need to be the most flexible person in the room.
You do not need to know every exercise name before the first day.
Our Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Pilates Matwork is designed for people who are starting their Pilates teaching journey. That is why the course teaches the foundations: anatomy, client support, safety, Pilates principles, class planning and practical instruction.
What do you need?
A genuine love for Pilates. Time to practise between training days. And the willingness to receive feedback and keep improving.
Training is where you learn. Nobody expects you to arrive as the finished product.
The September course begins 11th -13th September, with Friday, Saturday and Sunday options (limited spots remaining).

Could this be the September you become a Pilates instructor? π
If you've been thinking about teaching Pilates, there's no better time to explore what it would actually take.
Our next Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Pilates Matwork starts this September, and we'd love to help you take that first step.
You don't need a fitness background. You don't need teaching experience. You just need a passion for Pilates and a willingness to learn.
Over 12 weeks, you'll receive six face-to-face training days at our Newcastle Training School, supported online learning, practical teaching experience and ongoing support from our tutors every step of the way.
Choose from a Friday, Saturday or Sunday cohort to fit around your life.
And here's something that makes training with PilatEASE Training School a little different...
If your goal is to teach Reformer Pilates too, you don't have to wait until you've completed your Mat Diploma.
Our Foundation Level 1 Reformer course has a new intake in November, and we'll allow you to complete it alongside your Diploma. You'll still need to finish your Level 3 before you can teach Reformer, but it means you'll be ready to start your career with both qualifications under your belt.
Even better, if you book both courses together, you'll receive 10% off.
By the end of November, you could have the knowledge, confidence and qualification to begin your career as a Pilates instructor.

Before you book any Pilates course, ask this:
π©΅ Is it accredited?
π©΅ Is it recognised by insurers?
π©΅ Will it allow me to work legally?
π©΅ Whoβs actually teaching me?
Pilates training isnβt regulated so standards vary wildly. We stick to proper qualifications, real assessment, and long-term careers.

Pilates is more than just the exercises.
You can do the same movement on a Reformer... but how you do it can completely change what you get from it.
That's where the fundamentals of Pilates come in.
Breathing
Concentration
Control
Centring
Precision
Flow
They're the principles that underpin Pilates and help you move with more awareness, control and purpose.
It's why you'll hear our instructors banging on about your breathing, your pelvis, your ribs, your alignment and approximately 847 other things while you're just trying to survive!
We're not being picky. Promise. Those little cues and adjustments are helping you get more from the movement.
So next time you're on the Reformer, don't just think about what you're doing.
Think about how you're doing it π
Feel Better. Move Better. Get Fitter.

"Am I too old to become a Pilates instructor?"
Honestly, it's one of the questions we hear most often.
And the answer is always the same:
Absolutely not π
Many of our students join us in their 40s, 50s and beyond. Some are looking for a complete career change, while others want a flexible side hustle, a new challenge or simply a way to share something they love with others.
The truth is, great Pilates instructors don't come with an age limit.
In fact, the skills you've developed through life - communication, empathy, confidence, patience and resilience - are often the things that make the biggest difference when teaching real people.
You don't need a fitness background.
You don't need to be able to do advanced exercises.
You don't need to be the fittest person in the room.
You just need a genuine passion for Pilates and a willingness to learn.
If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I'd love to teach Pilates one day..." maybe it's time to stop saying one day and start exploring what's possible.
