Having completed a number of training courses and continuing professional development programmes over the years, the Balanced Body® Pilates Teacher Training with Radka Westerkamp – in my case, Mat, Reformer, Chair and Barrels – was by far the best.
From the very first day, Radka created an open, relaxed and supportive learning environment. Questions, discussions and critical thinking were always encouraged, making the learning experience both enjoyable and incredibly rewarding.
The programme is exceptionally well structured and delivered to the highest professional standard. Every exercise is explained clearly and taught with a wide range of thoughtful variations to accommodate different needs and abilities. This means you don’t simply learn the exercises – you gain a genuine understanding of the anatomical and biomechanical principles behind them.
Radka combines outstanding expertise with a warm and approachable teaching style. She motivates, encourages and explains everything calmly, clearly and precisely. Her demonstrations are elegant, easy to follow, and reflect her many years of experience and genuine passion for Pilates and teaching.
The assistant team is equally impressive. They are all highly experienced Pilates teachers with extensive expertise and support the training with the same professionalism, encouragement and care.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this programme to anyone looking for a comprehensive, high-quality and professional Pilates teacher training.

You can feel the enormous experience and passion for Pilates in every lesson. The explanations are clear, practical, and easy to understand. Even more complex content is conveyed in a way that is understandable and directly applicable. Absolutely competent and always motivating. Thanks.

Radka is a true master teacher, deeply knowledgeable, incredibly passionate, and so generous in the way she shares her expertise. She has a real gift for making complex concepts feel clear, grounded, and accessible. Her attention to detail is amazing, she notices even the smallest nuances in movement—but always offers guidance in a kind, supportive way.
What stood out to me was how inspired I felt throughout the whole weekend. Radka created a warm, safe space to learn and grow. You can feel how much she cares about her students, not just about what we learn, but how we feel along the way. I left the training feeling aligned, empowered, and excited for what’s ahead. Thank you to Balanced Body for offering such high-quality education and for having exceptional teachers like Radka guiding the way!
