Discover Our Three Levels of Pilates Reformer Training
At Invoke Studio, our Pilates Reformer program is built around the ‘Universal’ Reformer—Joseph Pilates’s cornerstone piece of equipment. Whether you’re a movement novice or an experienced instructor, our three-tiered curriculum guides you from fundamental mechanics all the way through advanced teaching skills.
Level 1
Balanced Body Reformer Training
This course introduces you to what Joseph Pilates called the ‘Universal’ Reformer, which is the centerpiece of the Pilates equipment studio and an invaluable training tool. Reformer 1 teaches you how to safely utilize the Reformer and many of the beginning and intermediate Pilates Reformer exercises. Reformer 1 also reviews common modifications and variations necessary for teaching the client in front of you and gives you the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’, empowering critical reasoning skills from the very start of your training.
