Below are a few of the comments we have had back from our students:

Dear Emma,

Thank you so much for your kind plaudits for my result.

Thank you to all the Active Pilates team for supporting me in achieving this result. There were times when I wondered what I had taken on but the support and attitude of the whole team with teaching led by Caroline was superb. I feel a great sense of reaching a worthwhile and high quality goal because the standard set at all times was so high and not compromised when my own energy was sometimes fading at the end of a long weekend.

I would be happy to recommend the course to anyone on request. I have already signed up with David Wells to focus on posture analysis and correction in the March course dates.

Please take this email as a simple expression of my thanks to all concerned at Active Pilates.

Best wishes,
Barry Green

The Injuries & Special Populations Course

The instructor trainer made the course extremely interesting. It was a really active course, in the sense that she made us all think and collaborate. She was just bouncing with information. We were also showed some of her own personal material that she had prepared for the course - videos, illustrations etc. The instructor went into great detail and was extremely professional. She demonstrated innumerable exercises of each specific issue. Obviously, in 4 days we cannot expect to discuss all physical disorders and the appropriate exercises, but we were given the tools to work it out for ourselves. We all learnt so much and very much enjoyed the process!

I am writing to let you both know that I passed my matwork exam! (93%!!) So thank you both (Alison and Brigitte) for all your hard work and enthusiasm - you really gave us great tuition, made it all very enjoyable and prepared us so well for the exam.

I was sooo nervous before that exam - but that was nothing to how I felt about taking a class. I was petrified at the very idea (which begs the question - why did I train to become a pilates teacher?!!), and had built it up more and more in my mind as time went on. So I'm thrilled to be able to tell you that I took my first class last week - second one tonight. And it went really well!! I'm really over the moon about it all and feel I have achieved something fantastic.

Thanks again for all your help - and look forward to seeing you for more pilates in the future!

Cheers

I just wanted to thank you for an amazing STOTT experience. I initially signed up for the STOTT reformer course to deepen my knowledge and for my own benefit and training, I really loved my day job and was considering packing all of my teaching in, but since the course I have done a complete 360!
 
I'm really excited and am actually looking forward to getting stuck in and working towards the exam and am already making enquiries about putting on my own classes.  Although I’ve done a fair bit of pilates training in the past, none of the courses I have done had the 'omph' of STOTT and that is what I have really enjoyed.
 
So, thank you for your belief and enthusiasm in the method and thank you STOTT for great IT's, great support material, and great 'omph'!!!

Thanks
