Allegro Certification Program

Allegro Reformer

The Allegro by Balanced Body is the ideal reformer for small group training of 2-10 clients. The principles learned in PF will be applied throughout the series of courses.

You will learn the following:
1. Allegro exercises for beginning through advanced levels
2. Dynamics of group training
3. Exercise progression from lying supine to standing
4. Advanced cueing skills
5. Program design and exercise sequencing
6. Exercise modifications for a variety of populations


A-1 through A-3: Allegro Reformer

After the Pilates Principles for Fitness course (PF), Principle of Movement, the Pilates Allegro program continues with three 2-day courses scheduled approximately one month apart. The time between courses allows you to practice and become comfortable with the material before continuing to the next course.

In addition to attending courses, we recommend that you complete at your own expense, 25 hours of observation, 50 hours of self mastery practice and 50 hours of apprentice teaching.
