Reformer Instructor Training Weekend | Zurich

📅 Saturday 26 September & Sunday 27 September
🕧 12:30 pm – 6:30 pm (both days)
📍 Rare Street Pilates, Zurich

Master cueing, programming, hands-on coaching and class design to become a more confident Reformer Pilates instructor.

Whether you’re newly qualified or looking to strengthen your teaching foundations, this two-day Reformer Instructor Training is designed to help you become a more confident, effective Pilates teacher.

This isn’t about learning hundreds of new exercises.

It’s about learning how to teach.

Across two practical days, you’ll develop the skills that separate good instructors from great ones—clear cueing, purposeful programming, confident coaching, effective hands-on corrections, and the ability to adapt your teaching to every client in the room.

You’ll begin each day by taking a full Reformer class before we break down exactly what happened—from the programming and sequencing to cueing, layering, coaching and class flow.

By the end of the weekend, you’ll leave with practical systems you can apply immediately in every class you teach.

• Build confidence as an instructor
• Improve your cueing and communication
• Learn safe and effective hands-on cueing
