Essie

After being a Pilates client for years, I finally took the plunge and completed my Pilates instructor training! I was supported and encouraged during the entire course. The manuals and face to face training are comprehensive and gave me a wonderful foundation for my own practice but more importantly once I started teaching I was able to use this knowledge to create balanced and creative classes for our clients. My passion for Pilates has grown as a result and I couldn't recommend a better place to do your training. LOVE LOVE LOVE PPF!!

I recently did my instructor training course through PPF and I cannot speak highly enough. The course was so informative and taught you absolutely everything there is to know. Plus the instructors were so supportive and made the experience super fun!

MATWORK COURSE GRADUATE

Mel

I completed my Pilates Instructor Training for both matwork and reformer through Premium Pilates and had such a great experience. The team were really thorough with the training and I felt very prepared, supported and inspired throughout the whole course. The course provides a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of pilates and it was clear that the instructors were very knowledgeable and experienced. I am so glad I chose PPF to complete my training as it's helped me be a more confident and educated instructor.
