What students loved about PPF's Reformer Fundamentals Course

Can’t thank your team enough for the incredibly high standard of training, encouragement and support! I only wish you had a studio on the Sunshine Coast so I could continue to learn from you.

Reformer Fundamentals Graduate

I completed my Reformer Pilates Instructor Training at Premium Pilates and Fitness and it was such a fantastic course! The course delivery was an excellent balance of practical and theoretical work, with so many hands on learning experiences, progressive teaching and feedback opportunities and well-planned learning blocks/ breaks. The course was delivered by several different instructors, each who were all so knowledgeable, approachable, supportive, professional and positive. The courses design, the instructors, supportive environment and the resources made for such an excellent experience. I loved this course!

Chloe Lees

Reformer Fundamentals Graduate

This studio and training layout is exceptional! I recently completed my Reformer Pilates training at PPF and I was so impressed with the course design, the expertise of the instructors/trainers, and the studio. The delivery of the course has clearly been well thought through - with a great mix of theory and practical experiences throughout each day. The very experienced, positive and approachable instructors created a very safe learning environment. They provided individualised, constructive feedback to all and subsequently established confidence in their learners. The course design and manual provides all necessary information to ensure competency in starting to instruct. I absolutely loved this course!

Georgina Cole

Reformer Fundamentals Graduate

I completed both my matwork and reformer training with PPF almost 12 months ago after doing a lot of research on courses that are out there. I travelled from NSW to complete the course. I loved the face to face days which gave me a great foundation and the confidence to continue and complete the rest of my certification. I’ve recommended and will continue to recommend PPF training to others wanting to complete Pilates instructor training whether local to brisbane or interstate.
