The Real Pilates Standards of Training are distinguished by our focus on 4 key elements. Your weekly assignments are designed to develop your skill in each of these areas as well as your Anatomy, History and more.

WEEK 20 INDEPENDENT WORK

LINK: WEEK 20 MEETINGS

LINK: WEEK 20 ANATOMY ASSIGNMENT

POST ANSWERS IN CANVAS: 

ON THE FLOOR ASSIGNMENT

Reminder - you should be prepared to demonstrate your Full Intermediate Workout this week if asked.

Q. Make a schedule for the next 9 weeks that gets you to the finish line (or close). Map out the hours you need according to what you have accomplished and what you might be missing according to your individual requirements. Share where you are and how you plan to finish.

Tracking is key to your progress. If you hold your calendar and hours due against the material you have learned you may find correlations between the percentage of time you have spent.

HISTORY

The Elders: Eve Gentry

Pilates Anytime: Eve Gentry

Joe Pilates teaching Eve Gentry

Q. Eve says that “Pilates is a concept”. What do you feel about this statement at this point in your training?

COMMUNICATION ASSIGNMENT

Q:  A local reporter calls you and wants to talk Pilates. She says that she heard it’s great for stretching tight muscles and that the new Mega-former (click here) and here sounds like it’s the best workout for women.  How do you respond?

PROGRAM DESIGN ASSIGNMENT

Read the research review on the Elderly and exercise. Share your reactions in the Assignment Board. Does this influence your teaching or your planning with any of your existing clients?

INDUSTRY NOTE

Please be aware that your RPTT Trainee contract expressly prohibits primary trainees from accepting employment prior to completion of the program. We understand the desire to seek employment, however accepting employment before you have completed and passed your final testing puts you at risk of violating your contractual agreement. We would hate to have to dismiss a trainee from the program for breaking the rules.

We encourage all apprentices to stay on track and complete your training before accepting any offers of employment.

The spirit of Pilates is it’s most profound gift. The feeling that you can do anything is the most important sentiment to deliver to your clients. Focus on what they can do. Bring them to the edge of their potential. Celebrate their triumphs and their sweat. Honor their bodies and this body of work every day.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
