It's training isn't JUST about learning exercises and memorizing levels and orders of exercises. They really get to the heart of HOW to be a TEACHER. How to communicate the method to your clients and students. There are a LOT of training programs out there that teach you about the history and origins and classical system of Pilates, but Peak is the ONLY program I've found that teaches to the TEACHER in all of us! They also require you put in the time. This is not a crash course, one weekend workshop. You have to work and it takes time. There are no short cuts to becoming a certified Pilates instructor. I like how they have roots in the classical style too. Amazing teachers and supportive community too!

The BioMechanics Method (TBMM)
Excellent and thorough materials. Take the time to truly learn it. It takes practice, but the guidance through the course with video and text is superb.

Job: Graduate student, fitness instructor on the side
Review Level 1: Level 1 was wonderful--lots of instructors, lots of basic poses to go through. The class focused on safety. Most students had been taking yoga for a while and so the class went well.
Review Level 2: Focus was communication. Level 2 was good especially how to give verbal adjustments and how to look to bad poses. Reviewing the yamas and niyamas was good bc the other instructors had insightful comments. The best part was learning how to teach to visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners.
Review Level 3: Focus was on the self. Some new material taught including the chakras and some advanced poses like crow. Best part was for some of us who don't believe in chakras, Yogafit is accepting of all views. Exceptional part was physical adjustments--we learned many but I only use the ones for final relaxation.

I was in constant chronic pain & felt like such a fraud while training my clients & telling them that they need to listen to & look after their bodies.
I tried everything I could to regain back my movement but to no avail. I started to think that this is how I was going to feel for the rest of my life & I started to wonder how other people with chronic pain coped for years with their infliction. I scoured for courses in Australia to help me to learn more about chronic conditions, but had to go out on a wider scope. That is when I came across TBMM...
It was easy to understand, informative & most importantly it worked! I am pain free & have already helped many clients to overcome & take control of their own malalignment issues. Word is spreading like wildfire! This is definatley a course that will revolutionise the way that you train clients & increase your business!

Finally, NASM delivered. There's no regrets about my decision to take PES and I feel more confident now in my fitness career that I could help more people with the knowledge I gained from NASM and be one of the best fitness pros in the market. Thanks NASM, you ROCK!

The program now consists of 600 hours of education including 350 hours in the classroom consisting of anatomy and physiology, nutrition, fitness programing, legal considerations, business concepts, fitness assessments and more. In addition the other 250 hours are spent on practical application in a fitness facility, 50 of which is a required internship outside of the regular class time. The material presented includes theories from NPTI, NSCA, and NASM. Upon graduation you Diploma in Personal Training, a Diploma in Nutrition, and CPR/AED certification. In addition each student is also eligible to sit for the NASM CPT exam.
After attending this program I was absolutely ready to hit the ground running. My classmates and I are in high demand by many of the corporate fitness facilities in the area. About half of my graduating class had jobs ready to go prior to graduation. The ones who didn't were the ones who didn't want to go to work right away.
The instructors are amazing and I can't thank them enough for the education.

Every time I called in, the people were always professional and helpful.The material was challenging and thorough. I studied my @#$ off for the test but passed it on the first go around. I got picked up as a trainer less then two months later. Totally worth it.

“Nia is like a two sided coin… on one side it is this amazing physical fitness program, on the other side, it is so fun and full of opportunity to learn about living fully in the body, you kind of forget your working out.

Nia doesn’t have to be something that replaces your current workout…it simply has the capacity to make what ever you love doing, even better!”
First and foremost Nia is a physical fitness program. Nia is often compared to Jazzersize or Zumba because we dance and move our bodies. What makes a Nia experience stand apart? First, we dance bare foot, every experience can be adapted to individual needs and abilities; and second, Nia is low impact. We work with the body's design. Every Nia class has 7 Cycles beginning with a focus and intent. Setting a focus and intent for your workout will give faster, better, and longer lasting results.
Every class offers a unique combination of 52 moves that correspond with the main areas of the body: base, core and upper extremities. Stiff beginners and highly fit athletes alike can adapt Nia to meet their needs by choosing from three intensity levels. Nia is low impact, but impeccable with how we condition the body. Since we do not wear shoes, we can allow our bare feet to become our sensory receptors. NO fancy sneakers required!
Nia is a fusion fitness program, which means we draw on several modalities of movement to create a unique multifaceted exercise experience. Nia integrates principles from three martial arts (Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, Aikido), three dance arts (Jazz, Modern Dance, Duncan Dance), and three healing arts (The Work of Moshe Feldenkrais, Yoga, Alexander Technique). These movement forms add energy and variety to your movements and allow you to explore all of the diverse aspects of yourself. Nia is designed to deliver physical fitness and conditioning and just happens to fill the more therapeutic needs of life by not divorcing fitness from our mind, emotions and spirit.
A lot of folks have never heard about Nia, but 2013 marks Nia’s 30th anniversary.
Nia has a simple philosophy: through movement we find health! The body itself reveals the body’s way. Nia cultivates health, fitness, and well-being by choosing pleasure over pain. Through Nia, one can learn to listen to their body’s sensations and utilize the gift of sensory intelligence as a way to live and be present and strong in the body.
Step into your own joyful journey with Nia, and positively shape the way you feel, look, think and live.
