I found the Aleenta Reformer Pilates course interesting, challenging, and rewarding. The content had a lovely flow through the different topics, was easy to work through with both written and practical assignments. The comments from my tutor were always very encouraging and positive, I especially enjoyed the face-to-face Training days.

I really enjoyed the Aleenta Reformer Training. We had a 3 day intensive with Alicia, who is so knowledgeable. We learnt how the reformers work and compared different models, as there are many different kinds and it's handy to know the differences and similarities. She also taught us the wide range of Pilates exercises possible on the reformer, including using jumpboards and boxes in many different ways. I learnt so much in these three days and throughout the rest of the course. We completed our own research on the history of Pilates, and Joseph Pilates himself, and how he developed the reformer and his other apparatuses. By the end of this course I really noticed myself becoming a much better instructor. I am still wanting to learn more and will keep doing so through my teaching.
