Myth: You Have to Attend a Long Face-to-Face Course to Gain Your Level 3 Reformer Qualification
One of the biggest myths surrounding Reformer instructor training is:
“I can’t commit because I’ll need to attend several days of face-to-face training.”
The good news is…
That’s simply not true.
At Choreography To Go, we’ve designed our YMCA Level 3 Reformer Qualification to fit around busy fitness professionals, Pilates instructors and personal trainers.
The Reality
To complete the qualification, you only need to attend one live training day.
You can choose to complete this:
- Face-to-face in Nottingham, or
- Online, if that suits your schedule better.
After your live training day, the remainder of the qualification is completed through our structured online learning platform with the support of your dedicated tutor.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Once you’ve attended your live training day, you’ll have access to everything you need to successfully complete the qualification, including:
- Comprehensive online learning resources
- Step-by-step guidance
- Practical demonstrations
- Assessment support
- Tutor feedback
- Ongoing mentoring throughout your qualification
This flexible approach means you can continue studying around your work, family and existing teaching commitments.
Expert Tutor Support Every Step of the Way
You’re never left to work through the qualification on your own.
Our experienced tutor, Kelly Reed, provides dedicated support throughout your learning, helping you understand the requirements, prepare for your assessments and build confidence as a Reformer instructor.
Combined with Rachel Holmes’ practical teaching experience, you’ll be learning from one of the UK’s most experienced Pilates education teams.
Why Choose Flexible Learning?
Our learners love the flexibility because they can:
- Continue teaching while studying
- Avoid taking multiple days away from work
- Reduce travel and accommodation costs
- Learn at a pace that suits them
- Revisit online resources whenever they need to
It makes gaining a nationally recognised qualification far more accessible without compromising on quality.
