About the Pilates Instructor Training Program

Introduction

This Pilates Instructor training is The E.S.C.P. Level 1 Certification, which stands for Exercise Strength Core Pilates. This training focuses on using a workout machine, commonly known as a reformer or apparatus. Unlike traditional Pilates, it emphasizes evolved Pilates techniques, utilizing innovative reformers to create dynamic and challenging workouts.
Our reformer called Megacore is designed for high-intensity workouts with heavy spring resistance. Our reformer is specifically built to prioritize strength training and muscle fatigue through intense, resistance-based exercises.

What you will learn

Training Overview
The training covers a comprehensive range of exercises targeting the:

Abdominals
Core
Legs
Obliques
Upper body

What You’ll Learn

How to modify and intensify movements by adjusting springs and body positioning on the reformer
Proper form and technique for each exercise
How to use the timer effectively during sessions
How to build and structure complete workout routines
