Welcome to The Brick Reformer Academy 2026
The Brick Reformer Academy welcomes all levels, whether you are interested in deepening your knowledge about Pilates on the reformer, or if you wish to become a reformer Pilates teacher.
All levels of The Brick Reformer Academy are taught by experienced contemporary trainer Oona De Vos and Classical Pilates Trainer Michiel Gysel. They have designed the program based on their extensive experience in teaching both private and group classes. This combination of classical and contemporary Pilates offers a wide range of exercises and provides you with all the tools you need to create well-structured and technically sound classes.
The course is divided into three levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) and concludes with a workshop on “How to Teach”. For each module, except the fourth, you will receive a handbook written in English. In the handbook, you will find detailed descriptions and objectives of the exercises, along with photos of each phase of the movement.
The price for the course is €3,500, which can be paid in up to eight installments. For more information or to register, please contact roy@thebrick.be

INFO THEORETICAL EXAM
To complete each level and get your certification for that level, you will have to pass an online theoretical multiple-choice exam. When you’ve scored a passing grade of 80%, you will receive a certification for that level from The Brick Reformer Academy.
After each training weekend, there will be 3 practice moments to integrate the material. Two of them will be guided by Oona and Michiel, One will be a self-practice moment.
