About Ten Education
For rehabilitation, fitness and exercise professionals who understand the importance of quality of movement, a TenEducation Dynamic Reformer certification is a powerful addition to their repertoire of treatment and teaching tools.
Established in 2007, Ten has trained hundreds of health and fitness professionals to use the Pilates Reformer machine and help their clients and students to move better. Once certified, you too will able to use the Reformer effectively, safely and expertly in both group and 1:1 sessions.
Ten's Reformer Training course inspired me with new ideas and class plans that I have been using in my own studio. Joe and Neil were very professional and good at helping people from different backgrounds, dancers, PT’s and Pilates trainers. The course was fast flowing with an active learning process to ensure you get the most out of the time. The online portal was an excellent tool with great videos.
I would highly recommend this course to other trainers who have no reformer experience as well as existing Pilates Reformer instructors.
