You can do all the Reformer classes you want… but if you’re not breathing properly, you’re probably not fully engaging your lower abs.

One of the biggest things we talk about is fully breathing out right to the end of your exhale to activate those deeper lower tummy muscles.

It’s not just about the movement, it’s about the breath behind it.

And once you understand that connection properly, everything feels stronger 💪🏻

At some point in teaching, most instructors realise the thing that separates an average class from a really good one isn’t the exercise list.

It’s HOW the class is put together.

The pacing, the transitions, the way the intensity builds, the way you cue, the way clients move from one exercise to the next without it feeling clunky or disconnected.

That’s exactly what the Advanced Reformer Certification is designed to focus on 🙏🏻

This isn’t about repeating beginner training or just learning harder exercises for the sake of it. It’s about refining the way you teach so your classes feel stronger, more intentional and more memorable from start to finish.

We’ll be working through four key areas:
•Strength-focused Reformer programming
•HIIT-style training
•Advanced exercises and layering
•Seamless transitions and choreography

Everything is taught through the Kim Shipton Method, a results-driven, strength-based style of training that’s built around creating classes that actually challenge people and keep them coming back.

A lot of instructors leave training knowing the exercises, but still not fully confident in how to structure a class or coach a room properly. This is designed to bridge that gap.

The Advanced Reformer Certification:
June 3rd & 4th
June 17th & 18th

Spaces are extremely limited. DM me ADVANCED to reserve your spot.

If you haven’t heard already… The Kim Shipton Method is opening a brand-new strength-based Reformer Pilates studio in Hertford 💪🏻

After years of teaching and training instructors through the academy, it finally felt like the right time to bring everyone together under one roof.

The studio will offer morning, lunchtime, evening, and weekend classes, all taught by instructors trained directly in the Kim Shipton Method.

Keep an eye out, more details coming very soon 👀

Everyone talks about core engagement on the Reformer… but most people are completely missing the part that actually matters.

Your BREATH! 🌬️

When you learn how to properly breathe into movements (especially how to fully exhale with control and power) everything changes.

You connect deeper into the core, create more stability through the body, and get so much more out of every exercise.

It’s one of the first things we focus on inside the academy because breathing properly on the Reformer genuinely transforms the way you move.

The straps, the resistance, the connection to the machine, it all gives you the opportunity to access muscles far deeper than most people realise.

It’s not about rushing through reps.

It’s about learning how to move with intention.

Save this for your next Reformer session and try adding more power behind your exhale 🤍

Reformer clients want more than the same generic class repeated every week.

They want sessions that feel considered. Challenging. Well taught. The kind of class that keeps them engaged from start to finish and actually makes them want to come back.

That’s what THIS training is designed to help you create 🙌🏻

The Kim Shipton Method is a practical, strength-focused approach to Reformer Pilates that teaches you how to programme properly, coach confidently, and build classes with real variety and purpose.

You’ll learn how to use weights, props, sequencing, and layered choreography to create dynamic sessions, alongside around 150 exercises that can be adapted across different client abilities and styles of teaching.

We also cover areas many trainings leave out, including pre and postnatal, lower back pain, and how to teach clients who want a stronger, more athletic style of Reformer.

This is in-person training with real hands-on coaching, designed to help you leave feeling prepared to teach, not just qualified on paper.

📍 Hertford, UK:
11-15th June
Module 1: 11-12th
Module 2: 13-14th
Module 3: 15th

Payment plans available.

Being qualified is one thing.

Knowing how to create classes that genuinely flow, challenge clients properly, and keep people coming back is another.

That’s exactly what my Advanced Reformer Certification is designed for 💪🏻

We’ll be focusing on the details that elevate your teaching, stronger programming, smoother transitions, better sequencing, and more dynamic class structure.

There are dedicated sections on core, upper body, and lower body programming, alongside advanced exercises and HIIT-style Reformer training, so you leave with frameworks and sequences you can actually use in your own classes straight away.

If you’ve been teaching for a while but know there’s another level you want to reach, this is for you.

Taking place:
June 3rd & 4th
June 17th & 18th
