What to Expect

This intensive weekend is designed for qualified Pilates Teachers eager to enhance their skills and knowledge. We will delve into how to implement strength and hypertrophy training into your Reformer Pilates classes to better serve your clients and optimise their health.

The masterclass is divided into three components: The Why, The What, and The How. Prior to the in-person weekend, you will need to complete two online theory components: The Why and The What.

Online Component

·      Understanding client motivations and goals

·      Defining your purpose and clarity of your ‘why’
