"Pilates Foundations warns that classes are potentially dangerous in the hands of someone who has had a short period of training, with documented cases of injuries already occurring."
"Nathan Benjamin-Smith stated, 'From my perspective, it's less about a shortage of instructors, and more about the rapid growth of the industry outpacing the availability of highly experienced, well-trained professionals.'"
"Rebecca Hosking believes that more should be done to regulate the industry, emphasizing that 'there is always evidence evolving and changing' in the field of exercise."
The Reformer Pilates industry in the UK has seen a nearly 1,000 percent increase in businesses from 2024 to 2025, leading to a shortage of qualified instructors. Intensive in-house training has become common, raising concerns from Pilates Foundations about the potential dangers of classes taught by inadequately trained individuals. Despite its popularity, the industry lacks formal regulation. Instructors emphasize the need for ongoing training and caution against the rise of short training courses that may compromise quality and safety.
