Made for the person teaching the class
Knowing an exercise and building a whole class around it are two different skills. There’s the order, the transitions, the spring changes and the options you want ready when a client needs something different.
Follow a complete plan, borrow a section or build your own sequence from the exercise library.
Inside the edit
A balanced selection of base movements and clearly named variations for legs, glutes, arms, back, core and full-body work.
10 Foundation and 10 Progressive plans, with timings for both 45-minute and 50-minute classes.
Starting and movement positions to read alongside each exercise’s setup instructions.
10 of each, with easy-to-follow flows and timing options to bookend your session.
Muscles worked, spring guidance, footbar and headrest setup, suggested repetitions, holds, pulses and easier options.
Planning templates, class reflections and position-led adaptations to support your own professional judgement.
from one instructor to another.
Why we made it
At ÜRTH, our instructors are a huge part of how our studios feel. The thought they put into a class, the way they explain a movement and the care they give each client all matter.
We wanted to put that same care into something instructors could use beyond our studios. Something practical to reach for after qualifying, when planning starts to feel repetitive, or when you simply want a fresh starting point.
This is a resource for your teaching, wherever you teach. Keep your own style. Find the ideas that fit. Make the class yours.
Who it’s for
Designed for qualified reformer instructors who want clear, contemporary programming for Foundation and Progressive classes. You don’t need to teach at ÜRTH to use it.
Equipment covered: reformer, box, ring, ball and optional light hand weights. No jumpboard. Individual plans use different combinations, so every prop isn’t needed for every class.
Spring guidance describes the intended total resistance rather than universal spring colours or counts. Adapt it using your training, your clients’ needs and the manufacturer’s equipment guidance.
A few useful details
Yes. The language and exercise breakdowns are designed to be straightforward. You should already hold an appropriate reformer teaching qualification; this handbook supports your planning and doesn’t qualify you to teach.
Absolutely. It’s made for qualified instructors working in different studios and teaching in their own style.
The guide avoids model-specific spring colours and numbered settings. Because equipment differs, you’ll need to choose appropriate spring combinations and check each setup against your equipment guidance. Not every setup suits every machine.
Yes. Use whole plans, borrow sections or build your own sequences. Adjust the exercise choices, range, load and timing to suit your clients.

No. The Reformer Edit is a 107-page digital PDF. No physical book is included.
It includes position-led teaching adaptations and guidance on when to stop or refer. It isn’t an injury rehabilitation, prenatal or postnatal programme, and it doesn’t replace individual assessment or specialist training.
Your copy is for your own teaching use. You can adapt the class ideas for your clients, but sharing, reselling or including the pages or illustrations in another commercial manual or course requires permission from ÜRTH Pilates.
