Reformer Pilates Faults Corrections Guide, 93 Teaching Cues (PDF)

You can see something is off. The knees are falling in, the shoulders are creeping up, the carriage is running away. You just need the word, or the spring change, or the hand, and you need it now while the room is waiting. This reference gives you the fix in seconds.

The Reformer Faults & Corrections Reference is a look-it-up tool for instructors. 93 of the faults you actually see on the reformer, each with what it looks like, the most likely cause, the exact cue to say out loud, the spring or set-up change that fixes it, and a hands-off touch or easier option to offer. Indexed by what you see, so you find the correction the way your eye works.

It is the third tool in the set. The Cueing Library gives you what to say. The Modifications & Options Library gives you what to offer instead. This one is the eyes.

DISCLAIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is a professional teaching reference for qualified Pilates instructors. The faults and corrections here are about movement quality on the reformer for healthy clients working at different levels. They are about teaching, not assessment, diagnosis, or treatment. Where a client has an injury, a medical condition, or is pregnant or postnatal, refer to a suitably qualified professional and work within your own scope of practice. Reformer springs are not standardised, so every load reference here is relative. Always check your own machine.
