New Balanced Body Education® Fitness Instructors endorsed by Active IQ
Balanced Body®, global leaders in PiIates equipment and education, have received Active IQ endorsement for its newly launched professional education programme specifically designed to upskill fitness instructors with a Group Reformer Pilates qualification in direct response to global market demand.
The Active IQ Professional Recognition Service has now confirmed that both the Balanced Body ‘Reformer 1 For the Fitness Professional’ and the ‘Reformer 2 For the Fitness Professional’ programmes have received a Silver License, covering both courses.
Active IQ’s Professional Recognition service complements its suite of regulated certificates and organisations to enhance the status of their own non-regulated training programmes by gaining the Active IQ professional kite mark of quality.
Regarding the courses, Joy Puleo, Director of Education explains: “Created for fitness professionals, our aim was to develop an accessible, flexible education program that holds relevance to the instructor’s wider work with clients. Our “Group Reformer for the Fitness” curriculum meets the instructor where they are, upskilling them in the Pilates method with strong emphasis on quality of movement, proper breathing technique and the connection of mind and body in motion.”
“Some Pilates education has a reputation of being long, expensive, rigid, and esoteric. We are breaking down those barriers whilst maintaining our exceptional education standards.”
The program fully aligns to Balanced Body’s incumbent Pilates Reformer Instructor program. If instructors complete the new Group Reformer education and feel they want to extend their knowledge and learning, they can seamlessly join the Reformer Pilates Instructor training.
In the UK, the Group Reformer education program can be delivered as an onsite developed to meet a customer’s specific needs, at one of our partner venues or at the Balanced Body Training Centre.
The Group Reformer education program is available for booking now. For more information, contact program manager Christine Crooks at Christine.crooks@pilates.com or for information on Balanced Body® equipment, please contact Mark.mailhot@pilates.com
