Strength & Power on the Reformer

This workshop is designed for Pilates instructors looking to expand their teaching toolkit and offer a more vigorous, results-driven experience for their clients.

Description:

Elevate your teaching and help clients build real, functional strength with the “Strength & Power on the Reformer” workshop. This intensive session dives deep into programming principles that blend classical Pilates precision with dynamic, fitness-forward resistance training.

You will learn to leverage the Reformer's spring system to increase load and intensity, how to apply tactile and verbal cues to teach clients how to increase muscular strengthening using isometric, concentric, eccentric contractions and props, taking the muscles to fatigue. Learn how to use classical and contemporary Pilates exercises to create a full body strengthening class for your participants.  The focus is on muscular endurance and strength, power, and stability, without sacrificing form or the core principles of control and alignment.
