Why Train Reformer with Lab Studios in Singapore?
What Makes Reformer Academy Different?
Reformer Academy does one thing exceptionally well: prepare you to teach group reformer Pilates classes confidently and competently from the moment you graduate.
While most reformer trainings focused heavily on private sessions, we focus on what studios truly need: skilled, structured instructors who can hold space and lead dynamic group classes.
We blend traditional Pilates concepts with modern, accessible group class methodology — and back you with post-training mentorship and teaching opportunities that truly set you up for success.
