This week, an article in The Guardian highlighted the rise in Reformer Pilates and the current lack of regulation in the UK. While it’s fantastic to see Pilates growing in popularity, it also raises important questions about how easily instructors can become certified.
At The Pilates Room, we’re committed to the highest standards of training and client care. All of our instructors have completed a minimum of 500 hours of training with BASI to qualify. Our studio owner, Catherine, has advanced to Honours level with BASI and is a member of The Pilates Teacher Association.
Our team also regularly undertakes continued professional development across a range of specialist areas, including pre- and postnatal Pilates, injury rehabilitation, menopause, scoliosis, biomechanics and osteoporosis. Collectively the team have 1000s of hours of experience and knowledge.
Creating a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment is at the heart of what we do. That’s why we require every client to complete either a 1:1 induction or a 4-week beginners course before joining regular sessions.
Our focus is simple: to help you move better, prevent injury, and build strength and mobility through precise, mindful movement.
