This fun-filled course is a fantastic way to become certified on three different pieces of equipment in just 2 days and an essential course for all Pilates instructors to complete!

COURSE FORMAT

  • 20 hours of online pre-course study then
  • 2 day practical course (via Zoom)

WHY THIS COURSE

  • Add variety to your classes to keep your clients happy and challenged while also stopping yourself from getting bored!
  • The extra resistance of the small equipment increases the toning and weight loss effects of your classes
  • The small equipment provides a fun all over body workout – while many of the matwork exercises are core related (buttocks, pelvis, abdominals, back), the small equipment works both the core and peripheral muscles!
  • Cater more effectively to different levels in a class by adding or removing the equipment – this means that you can more effectively cater to both injured clients and strong clients who are wanting to work hard
  • Learn even more exercises to use during pregnancy
  • The swiss ball challenges balance and coordination which is great for elderly clients
  • The small equipment exercises are more functional – the exercises require complex movements which mimic real life movements

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Learn over 107 Ball, Circle and Band exercises
  • Practice performing and teaching each of these exercises
  • In-depth analysis of the choreography/movements and how to break them down for easier instruction

    Gerri Quirke – Personal Trainer
  • 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.
