Vi som driver med Pilates som noe mer enn fitness. Vi som tar metoden videre slik Joseph Pilates skapte den. Vi som tar kundene våre og deres helse på alvor. Vi som tenker at vi har et samfunnsansvar og ser det hele mennesket. Nå trenger vi å spre kunnskap om Pilatesmetoden. Derfor bygger vi en solid utdanning. Ikke tro du kan lære Pilates på en helg eller ved å se på video. Det handler om mennesker, ikke maskiner og ikke om å håve inn penger. Pilates er lidenskap og er dypt ønske om å hjelpe andre til et bedre liv.
What is pilates today, in my mind, its pretty clear, but for the general public, I am not so sure…
Joe Pilates signed his clients up for 3 sessions a week for their first month, he wasn’t into “jumping on the popular bandwagon, and making money out of what people wanted, or giving them what was popular”, no, he passionately believed in his system, yes system of exercises that if people committed themselves to his methodology that they would feel the change in their bodies.
Those of us who have spent years training and learning about the “how” and “why” his system works, and are still learning from experienced professionals in the industry with more experience than our own, and passing on the benefits to our clients.
And believe me, no one knows anything after 5 days of training in “pilates” no matter how glossy the cover looks.
So use the pilates name and make your money, whilst the rest of us continue his legacy of pilates, which is not instagram exercises to be interesting, nor just exercises on one piece of his equipment.
I am so tired of my industry of nearly 30 years being downgraded to just fitness on pilates equipment. This is not “pilates” and people should seek out the difference.
