TEACHER TRAINING
What Our customers say about our training
This is the best training ever. I've never had an empty Barre class. It's standing so can get more in than mat and live online classes are so easy for your clients, they just need a chair. 100% recommend this course to increase your revenue and to have a really peachy bottom.
Nicci Rowlands
I attended Claire's Reformer Teacher training course after trying the Reformer out at a convention. Claire made the 2 day course affordable and relatable for me (and my team) as Mat Work Instructors to transition our understanding and experience off the mat onto the Reformer. We launched our Reformer classes straight after the training course and were (and still are) fully booked within weeks. Thank you.

Active IQ endorsed Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Pilates Mat Work
This three month course set over four weekends is your entry level qualification to become a Pilates teacher. I recommend taking part in at least six month of Pilates classes before starting the course. All the training is endorsed by Active IQ so you will receive a nationally recognised certification meaning you can get comprehensive insurance to teach, and know your learning is quality assured.
Claire’s experience of Pilates is built on over 25000 hours of teaching one to one and group classes as well as training and working with some of the pioneers of Pilates in the UK – Michael King, Nuala Coombs, Malcolm Muirhead and Cherry Baker.
One of the first teachers to have a fully equipped Pilates studio in the North, Claire is still a student of the method and is always looking to improve her own practice, teaching and tutoring. With Claire you will get a personal tutor and a friendly studio. You will have full ongoing support after the course in her Facebook teachers group where she gives free daily class content and ideas plus weekly Technique Camp for your continued development.

New - Pilates for Osteoporosis!
16th September 2022 12:30-2:15pm
The facts on Osteoporosis are devastating –
- 50% of women and 12% of men will suffer an osteoporosis-related break after the age of 50
- The likelihood of a women suffering a hip fracture is more than that of breast cancer and ovarian cancer combined
- Of hip fractures patients over 50, approx. one in four die in the year following the break.Twice as many men than women die after a hip fracture
- Almost 25% of people who fracture their hip must give up their homes for long-term care
Not all exercises are appropriate for the condition and some classical Pilates exercises can actually increase the risk of compression fractures of the spine.
In this Zoom workshop Claire will explain the risk factors and how to reduce them, the exercises to avoid and the “Fountain of Youth” exercises for your spine PLUS give you a workout designed to build bone density.

NEW! Spine Corrector Workshop
Price includes cost of your own spine corrector to take away!
The Spine Corrector is a classical piece of Pilates equipment. More compact than a ladder it can be used in a reformer or mat class or as its own speciality class or one to one!
This is for obvious reasons: in contrast to the large ladder barrel, the spine corrector is compact and so a studio can fit a lot more of these in at once!
The spine corrector has similar properties to the barrel, with a large curved surface being its main feature. This means you can perform most of the ladder barrel exercises on it.
There are obvious differences between these two pieces of kit, though. Aside from missing the “ladder” aspect of the ladder barrel, the spine corrector also has a less dramatic curve than the barrel. This gentle curve of the spine corrector can be a good thing when it is used on a beginner or someone with an injury. Like the ladder barrel, the spine corrector is primarily used to assist spinal movements and for abdominal exercises.
In this one day workshop Claire uses the original repertoire as its base and builds in functional, practical movement that can be adapted for all clients. You get your very own Spine Corrector to take away (included in the price of the workshop) plus digital manual!
Only 8 places available on each course and demand is high so book NOW!

NEW Spine Corrector Workshop!
This Spine Corrector workshop is intended for qualified Pilates teachers.
Join Claire at her studio in Leeds for Spine Corrector on the Mat and Reformer! The Spine Corrector is one of Joseph Pilates original pieces of equipment and a tool that can be used to strengthen the torso, shoulders, back and legs while correcting or restoring the spine’s natural curvature. It offers several movements to let gravity work with us instead of against us to assist stretch and spinal extension.
The barrel helps to maintain and adjust the curvature of the spine and can reduce any tightness in the breast muscle and tissue. This in turn can help increase lung capacity and improve thoracic extension.
Modern Spine Correctors are made of environmentally friendly PPE light weight material and can be bought at a fraction of the cost of the original studio equipment, around £60.
They are designed to fit onto a Reformer so as well as learning the Mat work repertoire you’ll discover the amazing variety this cost-effective piece of equipment adds to your Reformer classes!
This half day workshop is run at Claire’s Pilates Studio in Leeds and includes your PDF manual.
Price – £139 – Limited spaces available! Saturday 8th March – 12.30pm
