Online Reformer Academy
The Online Equivalent of the Power Pilates Reformer Intensive 1
The Power Pilates Online Reformer Academy is an 18-module combined mat and Reformer teacher certification - the online delivery of the same curriculum taught in the Reformer Intensive 1 in-person program. The lineage is the same. The classical standard is the same. The certification credential is the same.
The program covers the full beginner classical Reformer repertoire alongside the mat exercises that form its foundation - because in classical Pilates, mat and apparatus training are not separate disciplines. A classical Reformer class begins on a mat. The program reflects this structure across both its content and its two full class formats: Option 1 (Classical: Mat + Reformer) and Option 2 (Contemporary: all on the carriage).
Why This Program Requires Studio Practice
The Reformer is a mechanical apparatus. Spring tension, carriage weight, gear height, footbar position - these are physical variables you can't fully understand through video alone. Before you sit your final examination, you'll complete 20 hours of structured studio practice - whether at a Power Pilates partner studio, your own studio, or another studio you have access to. This isn't optional enrichment. It's a requirement for your certificate - and the reason this credential means something.
The curriculum follows the Power Pilates pedagogical sequence across both blocks: stop-motion technique breakdowns before full-flow demonstrations, technique practice before full-class practice. You'll also attend weekly live study hall sessions with Teacher Trainers for Q&A, feedback, and discussion - the closest online equivalent to the guided learning that happens in the room during in-person intensives.
For existing Core Mat I (CM1) graduates, the mat block auto-completes at enrollment. Your prior training is recognized, Modules 5–8 are credited, and your enrollment price reflects the overlap. You move directly to the Reformer content at a $150 discount.
