Mat and Reformer Pilates Tutors and Assessors - Glasgow
Passionate about Pilates?
We're looking for experienced Mat and Reformer Pilates teachers based in Glasgow who want to inspire the next generation of Pilates teachers.
We’re HFE, an award-winning training provider specialising in qualifications for the active leisure sector.
We deliver a wide range of health, fitness and wellbeing programmes across the UK, with our Pilates teacher training programmes recognised for setting a particularly high standard in both matwork and reformer Pilates education.
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to delivering outstanding learning experiences, maintaining high professional standards and continually looking for ways to do things better.
That’s why we’re looking for people who share the same mindset. If you’re passionate about Pilates, take pride in your teaching and are committed to delivering excellence, we want to hear from you.
We believe in people and their potential. Our mission is to create a learning environment where our Pilates students can deepen their knowledge, develop their skills, and become the best Pilates teachers that they can be.
We live and breath the philosophy that ‘excellence isn’t an outcome – it’s a habit’. That’s why we’re constantly striving to improve our Pilates teacher training programmes, pushing beyond “the status quo” to deliver a truly world-class training and assessment experience for our students.
While our Pilates programmes lead to fully regulated and internationally recognised qualifications, our focus is on helping each and every one of our students to grow personally and professionally. The goal of our programmes isn’t just to get the qualification, it’s to become more in the process.
Our mat and reformer Pilates tutors and assessors are among the best in the industry. Joining the team means sharing their commitment to exceptional teaching, technical accuracy and high standards.
You’ll deliver our mat and reformer Pilates courses in line with our timetables and programme structure, while bringing your own expertise and personality to create engaging, interactive learning experiences. We’re looking for tutors who are organised, reliable and technically strong, but above all, passionate about helping students develop their knowledge, confidence and teaching skills.
You’ll be supported by our experienced senior tutor team, with hands-on guidance to help you deliver both theory and practical sessions effectively and get the very best from your students.
This is an opportunity for professional Pilates teachers looking to make a meaningful, long-term contribution. If you’re only looking for occasional work, this probably isn’t the role for you.
A typical reformer training course will be delivered over 4 days (two weekends) and the course will run between 12:00-20:00, although it is important to stress that some venues the hours are slightly later due to studio access. A full day of training is 8 hours, which is inclusive of two short comfort breaks (15 mins), and a slightly longer meal break (30 mins).
Mat Pilates course are usually delivered between 09:00-17:00, over 6 days (three weekends).
The current rate of pay for our reformer teacher training programmes is £200.00 per day.
We also have a number of our tutors who get involved with other training programmes and/or development projects and the rates of pay according to these vary. Suffice to say there is plenty of opportunity for skilled and competent tutors to secure a regular pattern of interesting and rewarding work.
On application, you must be able to demonstrate that you have extensive qualifications and experience with teaching Pilates, both matwork and reformer. As a minimum, you should have:
*We may consider exceptional applicants who are working towards these qualifications as long as there is a firm commitment to achieve these within 12 months.
We deliver our mat and reformer Pilates training courses from multiple venues across Glasgow. If you are keen to join our team, then you must be able to commute to our regional reformer Pilates venues, some of which are listed below.

To join the HFE team, you’ll need to commit to working exclusively with us in a commercial training capacity. We don’t engage Pilates tutors who also work for competing commercial training providers.
We’re happy to consider applications from professionals working with fitness operators or educational organisations that don’t directly compete with HFE, such as colleges and universities.
In return, you’ll benefit from a regular pattern of work, unlimited training opportunities, collaboration with experienced Pilates professionals, and the opportunity to help shape the next generation of mat and Reformer Pilates teachers.
We are one of the largest reformer Pilates training providers in the UK and we often have multiple courses running simultaneously at the same venues. If you are able to meet our high standards for quality and customer service, you could expect to be working as many weekends as you like. Most courses run alternative weekends so most tutors prefer to work one weekend on, and one off. But it really is up to you…
Once appointed, there are a few onboarding steps that must be taken. Initially, you’ll receive a welcome call from our operations and quality assurance team. Here, we’ll iron out any training needs, qualification gaps, and/or concerns that you have about getting started. Once we’ve got your signed contracts back, you’ll then be required to shadow at least one full course where you will observe one of our senior tutors delivering the programme. You’ll also get the opportunity to get involved if you like. Shadowing isn’t paid, although we will cover any expenses you incur. So, there is a small upfront investment from you and this helps us to weed out those who are serious, and those who aren’t. From here, you’ll start to receive paid tutoring dates. Initially, you’ll support other tutors with the delivery, and then when you feel ready, you’ll be able to lead your own courses.
We’re adding new venues to our portfolio all of the time and so it’s possible that the physical venue that the reformer courses are delivered from will change. We do try to regionalise tutors to limit the need for travel, so you can expect to be working throughout Leeds and surrounding areas. We do however have courses running in other areas of the country so if you are open to travel, there is likely to be some opportunity there also.
We do get a lot of applications and so it’s not always possible to respond to every one that we get. If after receiving your CV we think that you might be suitable, we will get in touch. If you are concerned that something may have gone wrong, you can always call the office to check that we have received your application, but our team won’t be able to give you any indication or feedback about your application. It is also worth noting that we do recruit in short and intensive sprints to maximise our efficiency. You may experience a short delay if we don’t have a recruitment sprint on right now.
We’re looking for experienced Pilates teachers to deliver and assess the practical elements of our mat and reformer Pilates training courses. This role offers opportunities at multiple training venues in Glasgow.
You’ll be responsible for delivering courses in line with our provided timetables, lesson plans, and resources. However, we also encourage you to bring your expertise and professional insights to enhance the learning experience for our students.
New tutors will initially work alongside our senior instructors, receiving hands-on training and mentorship to ensure they feel confident teaching independently.
This is a freelance, self-employed role, with work assigned based on availability and expertise. The majority of our courses run on weekends, though there may be some mid-week opportunities as well.
