Pilates Coach Reformer Certification

Pilates Coach Reformer Certification

NAFC Certification - Preferred at these fine Clubs

why NAFC Pilates Coach Reformer Certification

When the reformer is used in our method of training it becomes functional. You will learn much more than being supine and primarily working in one plane of movement. Tri-plane Reformer training utilizes all three planes of movement in positions of the body that translate into daily activities. As an instructor, every student is unique therefore memorizing a manual does not allow you to expand your mind. Our program thinks outside the box and requires you to view each student uniquely.

You will not be required to memorize exercises but understand them, their purpose and for whom they are appropriate.
