FitCore™ Group Mat Specialty Certification

Description

What is FitCore™ Mat?

FitCore™ Mat is an innovative fitness fusion program that offers an awesome blend of Pilates mat-based exercises with body weight exercise and stretches for a total mind/body workout experience!
Pilates exercise can be complicated and takes a long time to learn to teach well, and instructors often end up slowing it down and reducing the workout value. Additionally, traditional mat doesn’t include much standing work or provide a chance to rev the heart rate up. We make it simple for teachers by providing a pre-programmed, balanced workout that has a high sweat factor. We give the instructor all the tools they need to keep students safe, moving, and smiling.


Course Includes:


  • A comprehensive online digital exercise library that details out the essentials for each Pilates exercise.
  • The downloadable workbook manual to take you through the steps of prepping to safely and effectively lead the class.
  • Teaching tips and choreography notes


Course Prerequisites
This training is designed for movement professionals who are eager to expand their skills on the reformer. While there are no formal prerequisites, it is strongly encouraged that participants have prior experience teaching in a group or fitness setting (such as yoga, Pilates, barre, group exercise, or personal training).
