Cadillac Course

 

The Cadillac (or Trapeze) is possibly the most versatile piece of Pilates equipment in the sheer range of exercises you are able to perform (from gentle spring-assisted abdominal curls to advanced acrobatics) and the wide variety of positions you are able to put clients in. There are so many unique elements to the Cadillac. It has leg springs, arm springs, fuzzy straps to hang from, a push through bar, and even a trapeze bar! In fact, Joseph Pilates called his invention the Cadillac because it had all the bells and whistles you could want, while being synonymous with luxury and comfort! 

The Cadillac is an invaluable piece of Pilates equipment for both rehabilitation and challenging or adding variety for clients. In the Cadillac Course, you will learn the complete repertoire of beginner to advanced Cadillac exercises. This course contains the largest number of exercises out of any Studio Pilates course and you benefit from learning a total of 140 exercises during the training!

    Anna Hill – Massage Therapist
  • The course was excellent - the instruction was very clear, concise and thorough and the facilities were good. Enjoyable and fun yet learned so much at the same time. I would certainly recommend this course to other PTs as an essential course to do not only to learn to teach Pilates but also about body, injuries and core stability.
    Cheryl Turner – Fitness Trainer

  • This course is amazing. A very intelligent concept that honours Joseph Pilates' foresight and a revolutionary way of exercising.
    Gail Hedley
  • I found this course so informative, practical and functional. I had done a Pilates course previously with another physiotherapy specific Pilates company, and feel like this course was much more comprehensive. It taught more exercises and went into more detail about each exercise. It contained more information about specific injuries and exercise prescription for injuries, and it also taught me how to actually instruct and teach the exercises.
