Founding Studio Programme

Become part of the first international IRPSA studio cohort.

The Founding Studio Programme is for professional Reformer studios willing to take part in IRPSA's initial accreditation phase and contribute practical feedback before wider international rollout.

This is the Founding Studio Programme interest form. For a formal accreditation application and Studio account, apply for accreditation.

What Founding Studios should expect

We are looking for a diverse cohort across different countries, studio sizes and models — including comprehensive Pilates studios and Reformer Fitness businesses.

  • A structured initial studio profile and suitability review
  • Clear information about the applicable accreditation pathway
  • The full pilot accreditation process and evidence requirements
  • Direct communication with IRPSA during implementation
  • An opportunity to provide structured feedback on the process
  • Accreditation only where the required standard is met
  • Recognition as an IRPSA Founding Studio following successful accreditation, subject to final programme terms

Who should apply

Studios that take professional standards seriously, are open to independent review and want to help shape a practical international accreditation framework.

You do not need to claim that everything is perfect. You do need to be willing to evidence your systems, address identified gaps and participate constructively in the pilot.
