"In ten sessions you'll feel the difference, in twenty you'll see the difference and in thirty you'll have a new body"
Joseph Pilates
Body Control Pilates is based on the work of Joseph Pilates. The 'classical' exercises that he developed may take many years to perfect and may be beyond the capability of the average person.
Body Control Pilates breaks down those exercises so that clients can enjoy the benefits of Pilates whilst working safely and effectively towards the more advanced exercises. In this way Body Control Pilates teachers are able to work with first time exercisers or those needing rehabilitation after an injury or operation, as well as challenge the skills and stamina of elite athletes.
Body Control Pilates has been training teachers since 1996 with the goal of bringing the benefits of Pilates to all by creating an international network of fully qualified teachers. The Body Control Pilates training course that its teachers must successfully complete to gain their matwork certification is one of the most comprehensive of its kind in the world.
Body Control Pilates teaches good movement skills step-by-step, which will ultimately give you the strength and flexibility you need to perform the more advanced classical Pilates exercises.
All Body Control Pilates teachers work to a maximum group class size of 12, ensuring close supervision and support from your teacher.
Body Control Pilates teachers work to a Code of Practice that governs teaching standards and professional ethics. All teachers hold valid insurance and CPR certification
Body Control Pilates Association (BCPA), the membership body for all Body Control Pilates teachers, is Europe's largest professional body for Pilates teachers and its members have all, as a minimum, completed a comprehensive training course in Body Control Pilates matwork. All undertake to further professional development courses with Body Control Pilates.
