Pilates Training Courses
If you are interested in undertaking pilates training courses, Melbourne offers an ideal location with plenty of courses available at all levels and also a vibrant and interesting city to explore and live in.
When choosing pilates training courses, you need to consider many factors, including how well suited the course is to your current level of experience and ability. For example, if this is your very first pilates training course, it’s probably not sensible to choose to study at the instructor level, or you’d be quickly left behind.
Pilates training in Australia
It’s best to start off gradually and learn as much as you can on the practical side before delving into the complex theories and learning how to train others. When it comes to pilates training, Australia is one of the highest rated countries where you could choose to study. With a pilates training certificate from Australia, you know that it will be respected anywhere in the world.
This is true because Australia has a long-standing reputation for excellence in training, particularly at the technical education level. There is a system known as the Australian Qualifications Framework that indexes and categorises courses according to the skill level required to successfully pass them. These range all the way from an ordinary school-leaving certificate to the realm of doctorates. Because the system is very logical and easy to understand, Australian graduates are highly sought in technical occupations and trades where high levels of skill are required.
Pilates is often viewed as a “new age” fitness system, but actually it was simply a logical system of exercise physiology that developed from a fusion of Eastern and Western exercise forms, combining elements of the systematic exercise regimes used by gymnasts and athletes in Germany during the early 20th century plus elements of yoga.
Perhaps the strangest thing about pilates as a “movement” is that it first rose to popularity in a prison camp. Germans were quite obsessed with physical fitness starting from at least as early as the 1880s, and of course this craze had reached a peak by the 1930s when Hitler was stridently promoting physical fitness and health as signs of German superiority. Therefore a wartime prison camp filled with Germans was an ideal petri dish for a new exercise culture to develop.
Although while interned in the prison camp Joseph Pilates gave away his methods for free, he very quickly set about publishing them and making money from them. Pilates grew in popularity and it continues to do so today.
Learning about pilates is a fun and rewarding endeavour. One of Melbourne’s best pilates training centres is Breathe Education, which offers courses geared towards those seeking a career as a pilates instructor.
Pilates Teacher Training
If you are ready to commence pilates teacher training, Melbourne offers one of Australia’s most respected pilates teacher training courses provided by Breathe Education.
With our Layered Teaching Framework we’ll help you learn the Pilates exercises to a high standard regardless of your age, shape, current level of fitness or flexibility.
By the time you graduate after 20 weeks you’ll be skilled, and confident to help anyone who walks into your sessions.
How to Become a Pilates Teacher
So if you’ve been wondering how to become a pilates teacher, there’s your answer. Pilates teaching courses are not a cakewalk. You do need to have some grit and determination to successfully complete the course, not least because it is one of the most physically demanding training courses around. That’s only to be expected of course.
How could you be expected to train and motivate your own students if you’re not motivated yourself? So courses are typically designed to test your mettle. Of course they’ll also teach you everything you need to know to be a great instructor.
You’ll learn to teach pilates, but you’ll also be doing pilates. The best teachers are those who have solid practical experience backed up by a good foundation of theory. Consider also that a good pilates teacher training course doesn’t just teach you about only pilates. It should also involve some understanding of learning theory and how students learn, how they can be motivated, and how you can apply your knowledge in a clinical setting as well.
Pilates is immensely popular throughout Australia and the rest of the world, and there will always be plenty of work available for qualified pilates teachers. Personal fitness coaching and instructor-led fitness sessions are a solid growth industry in Australia at the moment, and the rate of pay on offer is generally very attractive.
At the top end of the market, assuming that you later become very experienced and talented, you could end up being a personal pilates instructor to wealthy and famous people, in which case you could name your own price.
Of course not everyone is going to achieve that level of success, but it’s always good to keep your options open, and certainly to have your head in the clouds and dream big dreams. Without people willing to do that, nothing worthwhile would ever get done, and the world wouldn’t be half such an interesting place.
Those who do dare to dream are likely to make the best teachers, because an indisputable truth is that enthusiasm is contagious. When you can inspire and motivate people to be all they can be, and to go beyond what they think they are capable of, you can then truly consider yourself to be a teacher.
