Learn to Think Like a Clinical Pilates Practitioner
As Pilates has grown in popularity, it's easy to become focused on exercises, choreography and keeping classes flowing. 

While those skills are valuable, they are only part of the picture.

Great practitioners understand people before they understand exercises.

They know how to observe movement, recognise compensations, appreciate the impact of pain and pathology, and adapt Pilates to meet the needs of the individual. 

That clinical reasoning is what this programme has been designed to develop.

Testimonials

     

 "I had been keen to complete my reformer training, having taught Matwork for a number of years, but couldn’t make it work with the cost, travel needed and lack of access to a reformer. The Clinic Equilibrium course was amazing in solving all those barriers; providing classes to attend, classes across the week to observe and assist, alongside clients to undertake practice classes, all local to me. "Lindsey has a wealth of in-depth knowledge and experience which they were able to share in a friendly, relaxed small-group environment in an engaging and informative way. The time in the studio enabled me to focus and learn the practical skills required, observing a number of brilliant class instructors whose time, help and guidance has also been invaluable! It has been hard work and requires a lot of commitment but the ability to go at your own pace provides the flexibility needed to complete a very comprehensive course at your own speed. I have really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend to anyone interested in reformer teacher training!"

 "I had been looking at doing my reformer instructor training for a while. I have taught mat Pilates for a couple of years now, but knew I wanted a more in-depth course which is why I chose to do it at Clinic Equilibrium. The teacher Lindsey was so full of knowledge and so supportive. I can’t recommend the course enough!" 

Jessica Fisher
Pilates Teacher and Sports Therapist
     

 "Taught in a Physio-led manner with a passion for traditional Pilates at its absolute core. This course is extremely thorough and enjoyable. The practical sessions are taught by two highly-experienced and knowledgeable Pilates teachers. Able to offer modifications and techniques for various scenarios that arise when teaching. I would highly recommend." 

Hannah Griffiths

 "I had been considering training for a reformer qualification for some time and was delighted to see it being offered at Clinic Equilibrium. I have always admired Lindsey’s style of teaching and knowledge, so this was an easy decision to make. The course was interesting, very challenging and fun. I was also offered support from the Clinic Equilibrium team if needed. I highly recommend this course if you are looking to get a greater depth of knowledge, excellent teaching skills and learn from Lindsey and her amazing team." 

Sarah Nixon
Pilates Teacher
     

 "I have recently completed Pilates reformer teacher training with Lindsey. I highly recommend this course to any instructors wanting to expand and further their knowledge. I was very nervous about doing the training as I hadn’t done any courses for a long time. Lindsey has been fantastic at boosting my confidence and given me lots of support and encouragement when needed. Her knowledge is outstanding and I’m so glad I have met her. The course went really well and thoroughly enjoyed it." 

Sasha Horton
Pilates Teacher
     

 "I have really enjoyed the Pilates reformer training completed with Clinic Equilibrium. I had already attended online training, but felt I wanted further training that was more face to face. Lindsey is extremely knowledgeable. All of the things that you would expect are provided in a manual and for me the ability to attend Pilates reformer sessions as part of the training and to have the opportunity to have a studio to practice teach in was amazing. I liked the fact that the clinic also offers physio, rehab and sports massage too. As this was my background, I knew that the physiology side would be sound which it was. All-in-all I think the course is very good value and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to develop their skills to teach reformer Pilates." 

Emma Barwise
Pilates Teacher and Sports Massage Therapist
     

 "The reformer pilates course at Equilbrium with Lindsey may be longer than other courses in the market. It’s not one of those where you go for a few weekends, do a few hours of practice on the reformer and that’s it. No! The reformer pilates course with Lindsey will take you many hours attending classes, observing, practising and teaching. It takes time because it is thorough. But at the end, you finish with the knowledge and confidence to face any client and adapt or change any exercise to their specific needs. I do not regret having chosen the Clinic Equilibrium Pilates course with Lindsey at all. If you really want to learn you will not regret it either!" 

Amaia Basanez
Pilates Teacher
     

 "After over 40 years of teaching various forms of exercise, I joined Lindsey’s course to enhance and refresh my existing Mat Pilates teaching skills. Although I’m already qualified, I was feeling a little rusty and wanted to refine my technique and understanding — and Lindsey’s course was exactly what I needed. Lindsey’s depth of knowledge, both as a physiotherapist and an experienced Pilates teacher, truly shines through. The theory was thorough and insightful, and the practical sessions were supportive, engaging, and confidence-building. I came away feeling inspired, more skilled, and ready to bring renewed energy and precision to my classes. I’d highly recommend Lindsey’s course to anyone starting out on their Pilates instructor journey, or to qualified teachers wanting to update and strengthen their Pilates practice. In addition to completing Lindsey’s Mat Pilates course, I’ve already signed up for her Reformer training course — actions speak louder than words!"

 "As a student currently studying Sports Rehabilitation, I decided to book onto the Level 3 Matwork Pilates Teacher Training Course to learn how Pilates can be used to support client’s rehabilitation. I choose to go with Lindsey because of her experience both as a Pilates teacher but also as an experienced clinician. I found the course incredibly interesting and in-depth. It provided detailed understanding of different conditions and how to modify and tailor Pilates exercises specifically to different individuals. The course had a great balance of practical and theoretical learning and goes through the in-depth anatomy needed to understand how to get the best results through using Pilates to treat clients. The depth of knowledge Lindsey shares in her Pilates teacher training course has provided me with the confidence in my teaching skills and my ability to tailor and modify Pilates to the clients. This course is honestly the best thing I’ve ever signed up for. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Lindsey. Her personal experience and clinical insight are invaluable, and I have taken away so much from it. After researching many Pilates training providers, I found Lindsey’s course to be far more comprehensive and clinically informed than others, which was what I was looking for as I wanted to use Pilates from a more clinical and rehabilitation perspective. Her teaching and hands-on clinical experience makes this course truly stand out, and it’s something I aspire to replicate in my own practice. Having completed the Level 3 Matwork Pilates teacher training course, it has made me very keen to complete the reformer Pilates teacher training course in the future that Lindsey also offers. I cannot recommend signing up for this course enough!"
