" This workshop was amazing. Adam's ability to blend the principles with the movement while demonstrating the relevance to our client's needs was excellent. I fully appreciated the idea of bringing a 'gym goer' to the forum and translating the Pilates work at a functional level. "

Liza A

" I loved this course. Lots of practical ideas that can be implemented into my teaching straight away, in fact I've been using some of them for over a week now. I love learning about what the research says in regards to pain and injury and how to apply exercise science principles to Pilates. Thanks for making this course! "

" Thank you so much for this informative class! It was great to see the strength training blended into the pilates repertoire. I'll definitely be trying some of these techniques with my clients! "

Dylan P

" The workshop has made me aware of over cuing my clients. I also found the internal and external focus of attention interesting and that the internal focus can cause tension and the external uses less energy. It seems that Pilates is a lot of internal focus. I am looking forward to applying this principle in my sessions. "

Jamie S

" I really enjoyed the information regarding external cues and form/feedback for the clients! "

Becca P

" Loved the explanation of internal/external cues. "

Julie T

" Great explanations, examples, and cuing. Love the ideas! "

Julia M

" Thank you. It was really interesting, especially the internal and external cueing. I like to do something center before to do the other side. "
