Here at Unite Health, our mission is to train Pilates instructors with the highest level of knowledge and competence in the industry.
"I completed my Pilates instructor certification through Unite Health and absolutely loved it! Being from the country, the flexibility and different course modes made it so accessible, allowing me to still create connections with others while learning. My in person reformer training with Jess and Katie was valuable as they provided us with feedback to make us the best instructors we could be!"
"I loved doing my mat and reformer training through Unite Health! All the team were so incredible at delivering the course and super knowledgeable. I loved my in person training with Jess in Adelaide who made the course so much fun and engaging and I came away ready to step straight into teaching. Can't wait to continue further training through them."
"Unite Health training was the best decision I've made. I feel so comfortable now taking and practicing teaching pilates and understanding movements myself when taking classes is a lot easier. Highly recommend!"
"Had such a great experience completing my APPI instructor certification! All members of the Unite Health community were super supportive and friendly. They had great communication if there were any concerns or questions. I would definitely recommend Unite Health if you are wanting to become a certified Pilates instructor!"

We offer intensive weekday in-person training in Adelaide, part-time weekend sessions blending Zoom and in-person over 7 weekends, a hybrid online and in-person option over 3 months, and 100% online self-paced study. All formats lead to the same internationally recognised APPI Pilates instructor certification.
How much can I earn as a Pilates instructor in Adelaide? +

Can I teach reformer Pilates in Adelaide with this certification? +
Yes. The APPI Pilates Instructor Certification includes the full reformer repertoire - setup, safety, programming and progressions across beginner to advanced levels. Reformer is currently the dominant format in Adelaide's boutique studio market, and APPI certification is accepted at studios, gyms, and allied health clinics across the city. The majority of our Adelaide graduates go straight into reformer teaching roles after qualifying.
Is the APPI Pilates certification better than a TAFE course or Cert IV in Adelaide? +
APPI and TAFE qualifications serve different purposes. A Cert IV in Fitness from TAFE is a government-accredited qualification covering general fitness instruction. The APPI Pilates Instructor Certification is a specialist Pilates qualification developed by physiotherapists, internationally recognised in 24+ countries, and is what Adelaide's leading boutique studios and allied health clinics specifically look for when hiring Pilates instructors. You do not need a Cert IV or Diploma to teach Pilates in Adelaide - APPI certification is all you need to obtain professional insurance and begin teaching at studios, wellness centres, and allied health practices.
Can I complete the course while working full-time in Adelaide? +
Yes - the Part-Time and Hybrid formats are designed specifically for working adults. The Part-Time option runs across 7 weekends in Adelaide, keeping your weekdays completely free. The Hybrid format spreads the commitment across approximately 3 months with a mix of online and in-person weekends. If you need complete schedule flexibility, the 100% online option has no fixed start dates and no live sessions - study entirely at your own pace from anywhere.
