WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?

There are a lot of Pilates training courses out there! So, what makes us different?

Many of these courses are run by traditional pilates studios, running traditional pilates mat courses and marketing them to the fitness industry. These courses are great if you want to work in a traditional pilates studio, however much of the course in contraindicated for OUR industry. That’s why in 2003 we invented FITNESS PILATES in our course “Fitness Pilates – Mat” which received FULL ACCREDITATION from Fitness Australia, Kinect Australia and REPs New Zealand.

Our courses are not Traditional pilates training and repertoire ‘rebadged’ as fitness. They are Traditional pilates re-designed from the ground up to be safe for the Fitness environment and to meet ALL the contraindications for OUR fantastic industry.

The Positive Action – Global Training System Pilates Certification Courses have been designed SPECIFICALLY FOR THE FITNESS INDUSTRY in consultation with leading Osteopaths and Physiotherapists.
