Your trainers MARENA & CHRIS DIGBY have a combined 25 years of Pilates training experience and over 30 years of fitness leadership. They are highly qualified trainers, who have studied both within Australia and have travelled to America on several occasions to learn from the original teachers, and their students to gain insight into the original, authentic Pilates method.
Positive Action Pilates courses have the personal support of many of Australia’s’ leading gyms and fitness centres, with a number of Group Fitness Managers using our “Find an Instructor” web site search to find their Pilates teachers.
Positive Action Pilates courses align with the new Physical Activity Australia Pilates Instructor Registration Categories. We also offer Bridging courses as a pathway to these Pilates Categories.
