The Physio and Pilates Rehab Centre fully comprehensive course is the only Bristol based Pilates training course to be recognised globally. It is affiliated with Alan Herdman who is a world renowned Instructor and brought Pilates over to this country in the 1970’s.

The course covers all aspects of Pilates training, from beginners mat work to advanced equipment work (Reformer, Trapeze, Combo Chair and Ladder barrel), including knowledge of most conditions and special populations with a focus on rehabilitation.
The course usually takes between nine months to one year with one day per week (Thursdays 9.30am – 3pm) of in person structured training sessions and anatomy lectures. Trainees are also expected to put in as many extra hours as possible in attendance at either the Bristol, Clevedon or Taunton studio (at no extra charge), initially to practise and eventually to assist.
We usually run the course on term times which means we will break for a couple of weeks at Christmas, Easter and slightly longer for summer plus some half term holidays.
