Frequently Asked Questions

  • We hope to meet you on the mat one day, but we are launching with a reformer pilates course.

    Reformer pilates tends to be in higher demand, so it sets up our instructors well for training assessment and post-course employment. It is also commonly utilised clinically in a rehab setting.

  • Yes! But you’ll need to take out your own insurance (Don’t fret! It’s only about $200 annually - we can link you with a few providers) and a valid CPR certification too.

    Here’s the thing with reformer pilates in Australia - it is not formally regulated. Unlike obtaining a university degree for APHRA or a CERT III from TAFE (or another nationally recognised training institute) required for personal training, a reformer pilates certification does not to be a certified VET (Vocational Education and Training) Qualification.

    Do VET Qualifications for Pilates exist? Yes and they cost $10,000 minimum. They do train you in all of Joesph Pilates’ classical apparatuses like the Wunda chair, but you won’t see them in a contemporary studio, and most contemporary instructors do not hold a VET diploma.

    Our training addresses what is outlined by pilates bodies as appropriate for a group pilates instructor. It is industry recognised as reputable training developed and facilitated by clinicians, exclusively offered to clinical university students or other qualified clinicians.

    You will receive a certificate that states you have undergone the necessary theory, training and assessment to completed the Acuity Pilates Reformer Instructor Course.
