About the method
Not Lagree™. Not classical Pilates.
The best of both.
The La Forme Method lives is slow, controlled, and deeply intentional - grounded in Pilates control and breath, but built to deliver strength-conditioning results on megacore reformers.
Our studio members feel it in the first class: the moves are deliberate, the cues are precise, and every instructor is fully present in the room. Eye contact, attentiveness, and making every person feel seen is not a nice-to-have - it's the method.
How We Lead at La Forme
Slow is the Work
Not modified. Not easy. Controlled movement at tempo is where the body changes.
Breath-led Precision
Every movement has purpose and is connected to breath and alignment.
Heart-Forward
Every person in every class feels seen, valued, and capable. That's non-negotiable.
What you'll learn
4 days. Everything you need to begin your reformer instructor chapter.
This is a reformer-only intensive. You'll leave with an internationally recognized certification, the curriculum, and the confidence to cue a room - La Forme style. And the opportunity to continue learning with our team and audition when you are ready.

Questions & Answers
Do I need prior teaching or Pilates experience to apply?
No prior teaching experience is required. If you have a passion for movement, an existing reformer practice, and the drive to learn - this training is built for you. We welcome fitness professionals looking to pivot and serious students ready to make the leap alike.
Is this mat Pilates or reformer?
This is a reformer-only training. We don't cover mat. Every hour of the 4 days is dedicated to the machine. This is where the studio jobs are and where The La Forme Method lives.
What certification will I walk away with?
You'll earn an internationally recognized The Core Collab Reformer Certification - included in your registration. If you have an existing certification, such as NASM, you can apply this training toward your CEUs. You'll also receive a certificate of completion in The La Forme Method, and a formal audition path for teaching at La Forme.
Does this guarantee me a job at La Forme?
Completing this training is not a guaranteed offer of employment. What it is: the clearest, most supported path to becoming a La Forme instructor. Every graduate receives an audition invitation, feedback on their teaching, and a personalized plan to help them get there. We want you to succeed — and we're opening our second studio with that in mind.
What's included in the price?
Your registration covers all 4 days of in-person training at the La Forme studio, your Core Collab online certification, La Forme Method training materials, and snacks throughout all 4 days. Please bring your lunch or you can order lunch from a nearby café (we LOVE The Wolf).
How many spots are available?
Spots are limited to keep this training small and personal. We want every participant to get real hands-on time, real feedback, and real face time with our instructors. Register early — early bird pricing closes August 15th and space will fill.
What is your cancellation or refund policy?
We have a tiered cancellation policy and your spot can also be transferred if needed. Text/call us with questions or check out the terms & conditions on the enrollment page, found here.
I have more questions — who can I contact?
