Every instructor you have ever taken a class from started somewhere. At La Forme, that somewhere is an Instructor-in-Training class - a full 50-minute session on the mega, taught by the people currently working through our instructor program, and open to anyone who wants to take it. You get the same class you always get. They get the one thing no certification can hand them: a real room, on real reformers, with real people in front of them.

Our instructor-in-training program is how La Forme grows its own bench. We train from within our own community - members who fell in love with modern reformer Pilates here and decided to learn how to teach it. Each trainee works through their certification alongside our lead instructors, and these classes are the final stretch, where the cueing, the pacing and the personality that make someone a La Forme instructor.

These classes run on the regular schedule at our Des Peres studio in the Colonnade Center. Look for "Instructor in Training" on the class list and book it the way you would book anything else. There is no charge and nothing different to prepare for - come as you are, take the class, and know that your presence in the room is doing real work for someone. If you are new to the reformer, this is a genuinely good place to start. The room tends to be a little warmer and a little more generous than usual.
