Reformer is booming. Be the one studios want.

Reformer studios are opening everywhere, and quality instructors are in short supply. We don't just teach you a set of exercises, we build the judgement to run a room, adapt on the fly and keep clients safe. You'll graduate as the trainer owners trust to take a class from day one.

What you'll master

Everything you need to coach the machine with authority.

01

Springs and setups

Choose spring tension with intention and set up every exercise safely.

02

Flow and transitions

Move a class through the reformer smoothly, with no clunky stops.

03

Progressions and regressions

Scale any movement up or down for the bodies in front of you.

04

Coaching groups

Confidently run mixed-level reformer classes and keep everyone safe.

05

Programming that lands

Build sessions with purpose, a clear theme and a strong finish.

06

Cueing and correcting

Guide clients clearly with your voice and your presence.
