As someone with years in the group fitness industry, I’m quite particular about the training I invest in, and Move Academy exceeded my expectations. Jan’s depth of knowledge and calm, encouraging delivery created a professional and welcoming learning environment. The course offered a great balance of theory and hands-on practice, and I’ve finished feeling confident and ready to step into teaching Reformer Pilates. I highly recommend Move Academy to anyone looking for high-quality, supportive education.

MOVE training provided me with the first stepping stones into the teaching world of Pilates. Im so glad I took the leap when I did otherwise I wouldnt be where I am today. I teach at numerous studios along the Sunshine Coast. I currently work full-time and teach casually. Being an instructor is truly one of the most rewarding roles. I get to share something I genuinely love and help others experience that same feeling for themselves. Watching people move with joy, grow stronger, build confidence, and connect with both their bodies and the community. It’s the most cup-filling feeling there is.

My experience with Move Pilates Academy has been truly incredible. Over this past month I have participated in 2 in-person practicals, taught firstly by Tayla and then followed by Jan, for both matwork essentials and reformer essentials respectively. I have left these courses feeling supported, encouraged and prepared to begin not only my assessments, but my entry into the pilates industry as a whole. Tayla's calm and kind nature made the space relaxed but fun, and I felt immediately comfortable. I loved learning from her and she made sure I spent the four days building confidence in both my physical and communication skills. She was a wonderful teacher and I can't wait to begin my assessment hours and gain even more knowledge from her. By the time I had finished my Matwork sessions, I was feeling so ready to start the Reformer Essentials with Jan. I felt so happy and thankful the whole time I was Jan's student. She was dedicated and inspiring, making it clear that she wanted us to gain as much as we could from her/this course, before we began our Pilates careers. She provided important feedback/critiques when needed, that were never harsh, but were always helpful and valued. I felt as though our wins were hers too. I feel so incredibly lucky to have been able to learn from and get to know Jan and Tayla, and their combined knowledge, experience and passion in/for Pilates have assured me that I've made the right decision becoming Certified through MPA.
