I have just completed the Strength in Pilates Level 3 Reformer Course with Alissa and I can honestly say it has been incredible from start to finish. The course was engaging, thorough and structured. It covered all the fundamentals and has given me a much stronger understanding of Reformer Pilates. I enjoyed Alissa’s teaching style as she blends theory and practical learning whilst ensuring that every concept is fully understood and applied. Her passion for her work is clear as she is enthusiastic, encouraging and invested in the success of her students. Alissa is hands on, approachable and always willing to answer any questions. The depth of knowledge and attention to detail she provides have left me feeling truly inspired and confident to go on and teach my own clients safely and effectively ❤️

Have just completed the Pilates Reformer Teaching Training. The course was a great blend of practicals & theory with excellent course material to support the learning. The course pace was spot on. Alissa is a very knowledgeable Trainer who explains everything & encourages individual & group input-a great way of learning. I have learnt so much in my Training, Alissa was very supportive throughout, encouraged us to practice together, using her Studio to do so. I definitely recommend this course with Alissa for anyone considering to become a Pilates Reformer Teacher. Training at weekends also means it suits those who work Monday-Friday. 🙏

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better teacher for my Level 3 Reformer training. Alissa made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. Her knowledge is incredible, but what really sets her apart is how she teaches. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, makes sure you truly understand the why behind the movements, and always encourages questions. She is patient, supportive, and so passionate about Pilates, which made learning feel very enjoyable. I always felt confident, supported, and inspired in her sessions. If you’re looking for a Reformer Pilates teacher who genuinely cares about your development and wants you to succeed, I couldn’t recommend Alissa enough. An absolute 5-star experience.

What you can practice at Strength In Pilates Training Academy

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.
