What it is
Online Training
Strength training and Pilates share some similarities however they are primarily underpinned by a different set of principles.
These principles can be strategically inter-meshed to achieve specific, well reasoned strength outcomes for each client.
In this online workshop, I will provide the science, reasoning, strategies and repertoire applications to have Pilates, fitness and movement teachers able to easily implement real strength training within Pilates programming, and to understand and utilise Pilates concepts and principles integrated with a strength approach.
Useful for any movement or fitness teacher who works across modalities, this course provides a next level of understanding of how to increase strength for clients.
This workshop has been presented in its face-to-face format since 2021 nationally as a comprehensive and current approach to strength training in the Pilates environment. Now, it’s available online with six months access for participants to be able to review and reference for the extended time.
