Why Pilates? Why Now?
Pilates is officially the UK’s most popular workout right now. As the world shifts toward mindful, functional movement, the demand for high-quality instructors has never been higher.
Beyond being a stand-alone career, a Level 3 Pilates qualification is the ultimate professional springboard. It provides the anatomical foundation and movement vocabulary you need to easily transition into allied disciplines such as:
- Reformer Pilates
- Barre
- Sculpt
- Functional Fitness
- Pre & Post-Natal Specialisms

TESTIMONIALS
“R1SE’s YTT was fantastic. Whilst other courses put me off by talking about the intensity of YTT, Rosie and Jen broke it down into bite-sized portions that made it super manageable to fit around real life, full time jobs, kids, a pandemic and other hobbies. I loved the R1SE YTT and learnt so much from it.”
"Have really enjoyed the YTT from start to finish. At first, I started it just to deepen my understanding and hobby but as time has gone on, I’ve gotten a lot more confident and maybe I will do something with it. I feel so good practicing on my own now because I know I am doing it right. R1SE have been so accommodating and helpful and any question was answered thoroughly. They have also allowed for us to maintain our own personalities. From those who approach yoga in more of a workout sense to those who approach it in a more spiritual way - they have let us be our own teacher! Would highly highly recommend".
