I took a Reformer course with the Pilates Programme in July 2024 and never felt so supported in my learning journey as with Sarah and Georgie. Both are absolutely incredible and gifted teachers and coaches, so if you are thinking of taking Pilates Instructor course - The Pilates Programme is the best choice. The training itself is challenging and gives you an extensive amount of information in a short period of time. Not only Georgie and Sarah created an amazing book with everything you need in your Pilates journey, they also created friendly atmosphere during the training and decreased the level of inevitable anxiety for the whole group. I personally started very anxious, but ended the course full of optimism and encouragement. In my case, in parallel with the instructor training I was also opening my own reformer studio and at times I felt lost and alone. But, Sarah and Georgie were always there for me to help with experience sharing, giving advice and even lifting me up with their support words. If you are thinking about taking a course, I recommend choosing The Pilates Programme as you are getting quality training and partners for life!

Sarah & Georgie are amazing teachers. The course is super informative & also really inspiring to be taught alongside amazing ladies & teachers! With Sarah & Georgie’s help I managed to become qualified in 6 months. They have a wealth of knowledge and deliver it in such an exciting & inspiring way & are super useful post taking my exam with any questions I have about getting started. Sooo glad I chose the Pilates programme for my reformer qualification!!

What you can practice at The Pilates Programme
The Pilates Programme offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat Pilates
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
