HEALTH & FITNESS: Pilates Unlimited
Pilates Unlimited Training Centre for New Zealand
Last month the team at Pilates Unlimited were not only busy teaching clients, but the studio also hosted the Basic Seminar for six new apprentices and Continuing Pilates Education for all Romana’s Pilates Certified Instructors in New Zealand.
In 2008, Pilates Unlimited was made the Training Centre for New Zealand. This is the third intake of apprentices to start their training. Four of the new trainees are from Auckland and two from Christchurch.
Cynthia Lochard from Sydney is a very experienced Teacher Trainer. She visits Pilates Unlimited several times a year to run seminars, workshops and continuing education, and tests the apprentices at each level as they go through their training. On this visit Harriette Blackman completed her final test which includes three case study written exams and a two-hour practical test. Congratulations Harriette.
At Pilates Unlimited, the studio is dedicated to the preservation of the authentic teachings. Instruction is conducted with 80% of the clients taking one-on-one sessions and 20% partaking in duo and small classes.
“The system we teach is a system of exercises designed to increase strength and flexibility without adding bulk,” says Pilates Unlimited owner says Carole Fraser. “The technique relies upon resistance rather than impact, focusing on the ‘Powerhouse’ which is the core of the body including abdominals, inner thigh, lower back, hips and buttock muscles.”
Next month we will be featuring two clients who can tell you about what Authentic Pilates means to them.
