Pathway to Pilates was an excellent introduction to Pilates. As a physiotherapy student, I feel that everything I learned over the weekend workshop will be very useful in my future professional practice, including protection of my own back during treatments! Staff were wonderful and the whole process was flawless. Thank you!  Alison Fisher ~ Physiotherapy Student (soon to be graduate!)

Thanks for a really interesting and thought provoking weekend. Group number was excellent and worked really well together. The analogies used, to describe movements, were very helpful (even for a man with a science background like myself!) This will help when working with patients/clients in future. This weekend has provided lots of useful information, especially regarding "proper" movement during exercises.          Colin MacPherson ~ Physiotherapy Graduate & Triathlete

The workshop was a fabulous experience and addition to my existing teaching skills. It increased my confidence in teaching safe and correct movement and posture.    Mike Hall ~ Tai-Chi, Golf Fitness & Squash Instructor

Informative, fun, friendly and relaxed. Plenty of time for questions and everyone was encouraged to participate. I found the workshop extremely valuable and will be back for "Less is More"                                     Lisbeth Dick~ Fitness Instructor

Very friendly~ made the workshop fun and so I took more in. Very "hands on" and everyone was included and listened to. Emails and phone conversations very friendly and good information and help given. The small group was good, everyone was made to feel important. I am very much looking forward to the full course in February and maybe meeting some of the students again. I will use what I have learned and take it into everyday living.  Very FUN!                                         Ruth Martin ~ Gymnastic Coach

If you have an open mind and are open to change, then Pathway to Pilates can "open up" a challenge and insight to how your core can improve your health and performance.                                                 Gordon MacPherson ~ PE Teacher & Triathlete

Testimonials - Realistic Pilates Basic Instructor Course

I am surprised at the knowledge I have gained since starting this course despite the fact that I have been teaching for 10 years and have a fair number of teaching qualifications to my name.                          The tutors really bring to life anatomy and physiology, together with biomechanics, in a way that helps to apply to real life. The name says it all...Real Pilates for real people with real lifestyles and posture. I highly recommend  the EnergyWise Academy and wish them all the best for the future. Scotland needs them!          Tom Lowe ~ Fitness Instructor, Edinburgh

I found the course to be intelligently presented, with a degree of difficulty, in keeping with a serious and meaningful certificate as a goal. I had a great time... Thank you all!                                                   Fiona Fleming ~ Dance Instructor, Scottish Borders

I thought the course was very well structured and informative. Although I've been a teacher for quite a while, I felt that I got an immense amount from the feedback from the observational teaching sessions. It was an intense course, but at the same time managed to be a lot of fun. A very practical course for a subject which requires this approach. I felt very supported and encouraged at each step of the way. I feel very appreciative of Fiona's patience and kind qualities that enabled me to complete the course successfully.     Clare Evitt ~ Yoga Teacher, Edinburgh

I found Energywise Academy on the whole very friendly, supportive and approachable, and hopefully just the beginning of a friendship and professional relationship. Adele Gallacher ~ Personal Trainer, Edinburgh

I found the course very helpful and informative. It will come in very useful for helping my Osteopathic patients.                                                              Ailis McClelland ~ Registered Osteopath, Edinburgh

I think the course has given me an excellent foundation for teaching Pilates. Very thorough. I have learnt a lot about using visual cues and props and use them in my classes. I have certainly gained confidence in being able to teach the movements and exercises without joining in myself! This as you identify, sets us apart from any other teachers. I think more analytically now about the exercises, what we are aiming to do. Thank you for your expert feedback on the practical sessions - very helpful.                                                      Stephanie Bain ~ Chi Ball / Pilates Instructor, Kelso
