FAQ

How long does it take to become certified?
You’ll have 12 weeks after your final face-to-face day to complete theory, practice hours, and assessments. Most students need 6–9 hours per week if starting from that point, but enrolling early allows you to spread the load, complete theory in advance, and make practical days smoother.

What is the course structure?
Our program combines self-paced online theory (16 modules) with hands-on practical training (in person or via Zoom). You’ll also complete apprentice hours and submit final assessments to graduate fully prepared.

What is covered in the online modules?
You’ll study anatomy, biomechanics, cueing, injury modifications, prenatal/postnatal, programming, and professional practice everything you need to feel confident in the studio.

Why hybrid learning?
We blend online and in-person (or Zoom) training so you get the best of both worlds flexible, digestible theory plus live, hands-on teaching with direct feedback.

What makes this training different?
Unlike many providers, we’re physiotherapist-led and internationally recognised. We focus on the “why,” not just the “what,” preparing you for all clients — from athletes to rehab.

Is online training really as effective as in-person?
Yes. Zoom students receive the same level of coaching, interaction, and feedback as those who attend face-to-face.

What are apprentice teaching hours?
These are structured hours of self-practice, observation, and practice teaching designed to build your confidence and real teaching experience before graduating.

What assessments are required?
You’ll submit written plans and practical teaching videos. Assessments are marked by studio owners and educators, with detailed feedback and up to three attempts included.

Can I teach overseas after graduating?
Yes our qualifications are globally recognised. Many graduates go on to teach while travelling or relocating abroad.

What happens if I fail an assessment?
You’ll receive clear feedback and can resubmit up to three times at no cost. If more support is needed, you can book a 1:1 intensive session with an educator.

Do I get course access after I graduate?
Yes you’ll have access to all online content from enrolment through to 12 weeks post last practical day.

How much personal feedback will I get?
Plenty. Our max ratio is 1:10 in practical training, plus direct feedback during assessments and ongoing access to educators via email and portal messaging.

What tech do I need for Zoom practicals?
A stable internet connection, webcam, and a setup that clearly shows you and your apparatus. If your internet drops, you can rejoin immediately.

What is the refund policy?
All enrolments are final and non-refundable due to limited spots. Transfers may be possible only before course access begins, in genuine emergencies.

Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden costs. Optional extras include printed manuals, intensive coaching, or makeup sessions if you miss a practical day.

Can I switch between online and in-person?
Yes if there’s space in your preferred intake, you can change formats mid-course.

Felipe. D

"I’ve just completed my Pilates Equipment Instructor Course at Body Form and couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The physiotherapist-led trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about Pilates. The studio provides a professional and welcoming environment that made learning both effective and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to become a confident and well-prepared instructor.'

Alex. M

"After nearly four years in this industry, I was looking to upskill and this course was exactly what I needed.

The online delivery was a huge bonus, especially being based in South Australia. The content was laid out clearly and logically, with a great balance between structured video sessions and the freedom to work through the theory independently.

One of the standout aspects for me was how every exercise was presented with injury, prenatal, and postnatal modifications something I hadn’t seen in any of the other courses I’d looked into. Kira Leigh, the course facilitator, was incredible knowledgeable, approachable, and really engaging to learn from."

Jen. OC

"I completed my Reformer and Mat certification with Kira-Leigh as my Head Instructor.
Kira-Leigh is amazing at breaking down movement, making it very easy to learn how to teach. She knows the body so well that her teaching gives you the knowledge to vary exercises to fit the needs for different clients.
She was also extremely supportive and flexible when one of my parents became ill during the course.'

Olivia. G

"For both my mat and reformer course and honestly wouldn't have gone with anyone else. She created such a welcoming, non-judgemental environment where everyone felt like they belonged. There was never any sense of intimidation or pressure, just genuine support and encouragement.

She also explained things clearly - making sure you walk away with a proper understanding and not just a surface-level answer. No question ever felt silly or too much and she always took the time to ensure we felt confident in what we were learning.

So grateful to have been taught by her !!'

Kira. G

"I recently completed my studio equipment training with Kira-leigh at Body Form Physio. I have found this course the most informative training I’ve received in my Pilates career. Kira-leigh is supportive enthusiastic and has a keen eye for detail, being able to train with her has added so much knowledge to my teaching abilities. Not only am I now confident, teaching studio equipment Pilates, but I also have the knowledge and skills to be able to modify for injured clients or pre-and postnatal clients. If you’re looking for a sign to do your studio equipment training with Body Form take this as your sign.'

Grace. S

"I recently had the privilege of completing my Studio Equipment Pilates Teacher Training at Body Form with Kira-Leigh, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. It was the most comprehensive and valuable training I’ve undertaken, building on my physiotherapy background and equipping me to apply clinical equipment principles for both rehabilitation and functional movement training. Kira-Leigh is highly passionate, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, it was inspiring to learn from her. The small group setting, alongwith her support, insight, and teaching style made me feel confident to teach Studio Equipment Pilates. I highly recommend Body Form for anyone looking to upskill or further develop their pilates teaching in a hands on, empowering environment!'
