1. Get a nationally accredited qualification

To teach professionally, you’ll need a recognised Reformer Pilates certification. Our course is accredited by Physical Activity Australia, giving you the maximum 6 professional development points (PDPs) and internationally recognised by ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association), also with the maximum number of 20 continuing education credits (CEUs). This ensures your training is respected not only across Australia, but worldwide as well.

Why Accreditation Matters

In a world where online and in-person courses are popping up everywhere, not all Pilates certifications are created equal. Here’s why choosing an accredited course is essential:

It ensures quality education

Accredited courses must meet high standards in safety, anatomy, programming and teaching methodology. You’re not just learning “how” to teach – you’re learning why movement matters and how to teach it safely and confidently.

It opens career doors

Studios, gyms, wellness retreats, corporations, etc., will often only hire instructors with recognised qualifications. Accreditation gives you credibility – and a big green tick when applying for teaching roles.

You earn professional development points

Our course gives you the maximum 6 PDPs from Physical Activity Australia and 20 CEUs from ISSA. Some companies require these points for you to stay up-to-date and registered as an instructor. You’re showing the industry that you’re committed to ongoing learning and excellence.

It’s internationally transferable

Our course is also accredited by ISSA, meaning you can teach Pilates internationally with confidence – whether you’re moving, travelling or just dreaming big!

2. Study theory and anatomy

Our training includes in-depth anatomy modules led by a physiotherapist. You’ll understand how the body moves, how muscles work and how to adapt movement safely for different clients. This knowledge underpins everything you’ll do as an instructor.

3. Master Reformer exercises

You’ll be guided through beginner to advanced exercises using the Reformer, learning how to create full-body flows, teach with clarity and adjust for different bodies.

4. Practice teaching in studio

When you attend the face-to-face sessions at our Sydney studio, you’ll practice teaching with support from experienced trainers. We also offer complimentary practice teaching sessions, where you get real-world experience and guidance before you’re officially qualified.

5. Complete assessments & case studies

You’ll complete written quizzes, class plans and teach mini-sessions – so you’re confident in both the classroom and studio. We’re with you every step of the way.

6. Access ongoing support

We know that learning doesn’t stop when the course ends. That’s why you get access to our online content library for 12 months, plus our instructor community for connection and continued growth.
