Editorial Reviews

Over 3 hours of exceptional educational content of the entire repertoire of Reformer exercises for the Pilates devotee, teacher-in-training or Pilates Professional. This program is also suitable for trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths. Perhaps the most renowned of all Pilates equipment, the Reformer and its sophisticated system of springs, straps and pulleys feature more than 100 exercises that can be performed on this surprisingly versatile apparatus. Learn the complete syllabus of Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced exercises on the Pilates reformer, the amazingly elegant machine that provides finely tuned exercise resistance allowing one to work very precisely to develop good alignment, core strength, and flexibility. **Every Single Exercise From The Classical Pilates Syllabus For The Reformer Is Named, Explained And Taught In The Master Trainer Series** While you are learning Jennifer's unique approach to mastering the physical aspects of working with the Reformer, you will also be shown how to refine the communication skills necessary to inspire and teach Pilates on the Reformer effectively, and develop your teaching skills so that you will become the kind of instructor that will help people feel confident and empowered. Learn strategic techniques that will empower you to assist people requiring rehabilitation of various injuries, how to treat scoliosis and how to safely design pre and post-natal conditioning programs, and gain the knowledge that enables you to work with people of all ages and different fitness levels. The Pilates Reformer helps one establish torso stability and postural alignment while working peripheral limbs in a range of motion. The adjustable springs allow for progressive resistance, which helps to lengthen and strengthen the muscles rather than building bulk. It makes for an effective, no-impact stretching and toning workout that is friendly to the joints.

This review is from: Jennifer Kries Pilates Master Trainer Series DVD - The Reformer (DVD)

I'm a Pilates Instructor I've been a fan of Jennifer Kries' Pilates video series for a long time. This master trainer series is just as excellent. Not only is she truly a master trainer but she seems like such a nice logical person. If I lived in New York I would absolutely train with her.

This review is from: Jennifer Kries Pilates Master Trainer Series DVD - The Reformer (DVD)

If you are a Pilates instructor or training to be one, this DVD is definitely worth the money. The video was shot while Jennifer was presenting to Pilates instructors on how to train a client on the reformer. In addition to verbal cues, Jennifer provides many good tactile cues to help your client move correctly and safely into the exercises. She also provides tips on how to keep yourself safe. She has a great presentation style and takes you through the entire classical reformer repertoire, beginning level through super-advanced. I was trained in STOTT PILATES, so it was nice to see the classical repertoire. This DVD has expanded my knowledge and teaching capabilities. You can pay much more money and attend a live workshop, but I think this DVD is just as good.

This review is from: Jennifer Kries Pilates Master Trainer Series DVD - The Reformer (DVD)

This DVD is perfect for someone interested in learning more of the details of pilates movements. Whether a pilates trainer or student looking to enhance your movements Jennifer Kries gives many helpful hints and explanations. She says in the beginning that this shouldn't replace a certification program, but this is a great place to start if you are interested in knowing more without paying $5000 for a certification course right away.
