Strength-based contemporary Reformer education designed to develop confident, knowledgeable instructors through technique, flow, breath, and purposeful cueing.
NASM & AFAA approval is our professional recognition. These four pillars are what actually define how an ERA instructor teaches — in every certification, every level, every country.
Alignment and mechanics that are correct for every body, not just the demo body.
Programming that connects exercises into a class, not a list of moves.
Breath as a cueing tool and a safety check, built into every rep, not an afterthought.
Verbal, visual and tactile cueing, so instructors can reach every learner in the room.
We believe
The Elevate Method™ is our strength-based Reformer Fitness Method™ — cueing-forward, result-driven and built on progressions, not perfection. Two certifications, one method, so you can teach every body in the room.
The Elevate Method™ reimagines the reformer as a tool for building functional strength, endurance and flow — rooted in classical Pilates principles, infused with the athletic mechanics of modern fitness.
The integrity
of Pilates
Alignment, core engagement and the classical principles that make Pilates work.
The boldness

Our signature method. It’s technical, yes — but it’s also alive. There’s room for play here.
She didn’t just build a program — she built a new ERA of Reformer Fitness.
When Jenn Cueto began her reformer education, she asked the questions others weren’t asking: How can we elevate this? How can we make it stronger, smarter, and more connected to real-world movement? That curiosity became the foundation of Elevate Reformer Academy.
