Application of Strength in the Pilates Studio

Strength Training in the Pilates Environment

While Pilates and strength training share similarities, they are built on different guiding principles. This course shows you how to intelligently integrate both to create safe, effective strength outcomes for every client.

Benjamin explores the science, reasoning, strategies and repertoire applications needed to embed real strength training within Pilates programming — while still honouring Pilates principles.

Ideal for movement and fitness teachers working across modalities, this course expands your understanding of how to genuinely build strength in your clients. Access the full online program for six months to learn, review and refine your practice.
