Beginner Reformer Pilates Class Plans for Instructors, 6 Week Course, Every Word Scripted, PDF

Your beginner course starts next week. You know the exercises. What takes the time is everything in between: what to say while eight new people find their springs, how to get them on the carriage, what to say when someone's foot slips out of a strap. This course has all of it written down, word for word, for six weeks.

The Beginner Reformer Course, Scripted is six 50-minute reformer classes for a closed group of people new to the machine, one class a week. Each week adds one new thing to the last: meet the machine, feet in the straps, sitting up on the box, kneeling and on your side, hands on the bar, standing. Every exercise is written as you would say it, and the words get shorter each week as the room learns them, so by week six you are teaching a whole class on a few words. It is written for any reformer instructor who teaches a beginner or intro course, from your first beginner block to the studio owner handing the course to a new teacher.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✔ 6 class scripts, 79 exercise blocks in all, each with the same six parts: Set it (the load, the footbar, the headrest, the box), Get there, Say (with the breath and the count), If you see and Say this (one correction), and Move on (the words into the next exercise)
✔ A welcome and a close for every class, and the line that books next week
✔ The week one machine tour and the health question, written out
✔ A ready check after every class: three things to look for before the next new thing, and what to say and do if one person is not there yet
✔ The words for 20 moments a beginner room throws up: the person who is lost, the one who says it hurts, the late arrival, the strap that slips, the phone that rings
✔ 25 exercise drawings, one beside every script block, plus a labelled diagram of the reformer for the tour and a map of the six weeks
✔ A notes page after every class, and a table of each exercise with the names other schools use
✔ 74 pages, A4 PDF
