Pilates Reformer Repertoire Module CPD

Master 239 Contemporary Reformer Exercises

This intensive online CPD module is designed for Pilates instructors and physiotherapists who want to expand their teaching repertoire on the Pilates Reformer. Building on the foundational skills taught in the Reformer Induction course, this programme focuses exclusively on repertoire — covering 239 contemporary Reformer exercises across beginner, intermediate, and selected advanced levels.

Delivered fully online, the course combines structured video lessons, guided practice, and assessment via video submission and virtual tutor review. By the end, you’ll be equipped to deliver safe, effective, and varied Reformer programming for both individual clients and group classes.
