Recent Student Feedback

After a long time searching for the right place to begin a diploma in Exercise Referral, I was very fortunate to have found London Pilates Academy and its expert team of Pilates teacher trainers.

The course is very interesting, most of it was completed at home, at my own pace: research, reading, and coursework. The coursework is lengthy, detailed and intense but it is what helped acquire the knowledge I was seeking.

The tutors were very effective in their communication, every time I had questions or needed help. I really enjoyed the time spent in the studio learning, sharing ideas and professional practice. Neil and his team of instructors were all very knowledgeable and experienced, helping me to gain better knowledge and understanding.

I will definitely be back again to London Pilates Academy to continue to learn and enhance my teaching practice.

Thank you LPA.
