LEVEL 3 CYQ

Feedback from our CYQ 6 day course.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to both Claire and Belinda for developing and running such a brilliant Pilates course.  When I decided to up-date my Pilates skills, I looked at quite a few Pilates courses, before deciding to do my course with Pilates Training Solutions.  From the start, I found both Claire and Belinda friendly, knowledgeable and genuine, and the fact that they are both from an academic background in Sports Science and Osteopathy reassured me that this was definitely a genuine course - with no gimmicks! 
I joined Claire and Belinda at Club LaSanta, in Lanzarote to do my Level 3 in February 2007 and what a brilliant week that was.  There I was, in very pleasant, sunny surroundings, on a Pilates course in Lanzarote, with a 12 other like-minded people, and I found the course content informative, educational and really enjoyable.   The course has increased my knowledge and awareness of the body and the muscles that are used in Pilates - and I feel that my confidence in my teaching skills has also improved as a result of the training I've received (all of which I will pass on to my class participants).  I can honestly say that PTS is definitely one of the best couses I have done in a long time, and I would recommend this course to anyone who is serious about training to become a Pilates Instructor - this course is a MUST!  I'm already looking forward to doing more training courses with you in the future.

"As ever Pilates Training Solutions have met and exceeded expectations.  Belinda and Claire understand the needs of each student - we all learn in a very individual way and this is reflected in the delivery of their work.  The level 3 course is well written and comprehensive, exceeding the requirements laid down by CYQ/Skills active.  The depth of knowledge reinforces the principles of Pilates and truly makes sense of the why and how of what we do."

Claire Barker-Hemings


The course was very informative, lots of spine, CNS & Postural Analysis info which was very interesting and is already proving to be useful with my clients. Although there is a huge amount of work, time & effort required to complete the post-course work but the end result is well worth it!

LEVEL 2 OCR

Feedback from our OCR 5 day course.

This course is excellent. It has helped to fill some large holes in my exercise rehabilitation knowledge. And will also bring a very welcome break from the usual daily routine in practice. Belinda and Claire are both quailifed to the highest level in both theory and practice. They are professional, knowledgeable and above all FUN! I would recomend this course to anyone.

Dear Claire and Belinda
 
I just wanted to let you know that, thanks to your effective training, I have done my first paid work as a Pilates Instructor!
 My local leisure centre asked if I could cover 4 classes this week. - I did it but it still feels a bit unreal.
 As it has been something I have wanted to do for quite a long time now it's hard to believe it's actually happened!
 The classes presented quite a few challenges - newcomers, veterans, injuries all in one hit and, as you know, 15 is too many people to try and keep an eye on but I think I did a reasonable job. 
 Of course I didn't let on that I was newly qualified but I received quite a few positive comments from the participants afterwards and some left me their contact details as they wanted to know about my own classes (which I have yet to get organised).
 I'm really thrilled I have made it this far but am keen to keep practicing and learning as I want to get really proficient.
 So thank you both for providing me with my 'training solution'.
 
Regards
 
Frances

"Pilates Training Solutions courses provide a solid foundation for anyone desiring to teach Pilates.  It has empowered me to not only understand, but also properly feel the moves and to teach them in such a way that client’s age 15 to 50 have been able to embrace and benefit from my classes.  I have been very successful marketing my one-to-one sessions as postural realignment to media staff at the private gym I manage.   The instructors, Claire and Belinda, have been extremely helpful from the beginning and continue to provide assistance months later with any questions and concerns I have working with clients.  I did my training in Spain and appreciated the extra time we had to relax and absorb the material.  I would highly recommend it!"
