Essential Winter Workshops

We believe The EnergyWise Academy has set the new standard for training courses and workshops.

After 21 years of being at the receiving end of: vending machine coffee, inedible food, unsuitable venues or sitting on draughty floors in impersonal groups, we have re-written 'the rules' to offer you:

  • Exclusive use of dedicated training studios in Edinburgh
  • A warm, welcoming and supportive environment
  • Highly experienced tutors who are still out there doing it... where theory meets reality head-on!
  • Smaller, friendly groups... more effective coaching and better opportunity for informal sharing of ideas and experiences
  • Quality refreshments included in the workshop price
  • Comfortable surroundings (with real chairs!)
  • Topical workshops to inspire and motivate
  • Easily located venue with ample free parking

We guarantee you’ll keep coming back for more!

In preparation for a busy and successful 2008, we have devised a variety of exciting topics aimed at four different areas of the fitness industry. To help keep you educated and motivated throughout the year, we’ve packaged them into full day workshops:

Personal Trainers One day - four workshops
Pilates Instructors One day - four workshops
'Seniors' Instructors One day - four workshops

New Instructors

One day - four workshops

Personal Trainers: A Day of Workshops

Why do we need a gym? The sky’s the limit with a bit of imagination and a few pieces of portable equipment.
These tried and tested workshops each last 90 minutes:

  1. Shoulder Blades Are Us ~ have you spotted the link between shoulder stabilisation and fantastic abdominals?
  2. Body Bar Rules ~ learn how this versatile piece of kit can provide hours of fun…and also get great results
  3. Personality Types ~ identifying the personality of your client can often be more important than the actual workout. The clue is in the word 'personal'
  4. Floor Work That Works ~ a mat, block, cushion and body weight…job done! (*)

Who is it for? Personal Trainers with an existing client list, looking for inspiration or newly qualified trainers still finding their feet.

What is the cost? £75.00 including tea/coffee/mineral water with course notes and certificate of attendance

Please phone 0131 661 2636 for Workshop Dates

Pilates Instructors: A Day of Workshops

It’s too easy to get stuck in a rut, your course seems a lifetime ago and you just can’t think of new ideas? Four 90-minute workshops later ………

  1. Optimum Posture ~ alignment is everything, use props and visualisation to help your clients get the picture. Balloons, a bell and a corkscrew are our favourites
  2. 36 Moves Can’t Last Forever ~ learn how to break down the original Pilates moves into component parts and discover a raft of new ideas
  3. Fitness Meets Pilates ~ incorporate stretches and exercises you were using long before you became a Pilates Instructor. Add the 'Gideon(*) Stretch' for corporate clients who travel a lot
  4. Less Is More ~ this could have been written with Pilates in mind! The simpler the move the better the challenge… it’s all about lever lengths

Who is it for? Pilates Instructors with teaching experience, looking for further inspiration or those newly qualified needing a confidence boost.

What is the cost? £75.00 including tea/coffee/mineral water with course notes and certificate of attendance

Please phone 0131 661 2636 for Workshop Dates

'Seniors' Instructors: A Day of Workshops

There is more to teaching this ever-increasing number of class participants than slowing things down and shouting louder! After these four 90 minute workshops you will be all fired up and raring to go:

  1. Ballroom Blitz ~ this generation knows how to dance. The right music selection and style will make all the difference to attendance levels
  2. Use It or Lose It ~ mobility & flexibility are as important as aerobic fitness. By this stage the desire to be a size 10 is no longer the issue
  3. Functional Exercise ~ it’s not just this year’s buzzword. To get up off the floor with dignity is(*) one of the most repeated requests we hear from our clients
  4. Gain Inches, Don’t Lose Them ~ 'Mrs Overall’s' dowager’s hump and loss of height can be overcome with the right tools and lots of practice.  Standing tall increases strength and confidence

Who is it for? Instructors who have found themselves suddenly teaching the '50+' class and are looking for inspiration. Instructors and Personal Trainers who would like to retain their mature clients and feel they need extra help.

What is the cost? £75.00 including tea/coffee/mineral water with course notes and certificate of attendance

Please phone 0131 661 2636 for Workshop Dates

New  Instructors: A Day of Workshops

  1. 101 Moves or Your Money Back ~ this is your opportunity to become skilled at re-inventing your trusty routines that got you through the practical component of your exam(*)
  2. Create a Library of Moves ~ this workshop is part two of '101 Moves'
  3. Get off the Bench! ~ Substituting for an experienced teacher is the best way to raise your profile AARGH! ... Scary or what? There are a few guidelines to follow guaranteeing that you shine, securing you a regular class on that timetable
  4. Advanced Teaching Skills ~ communicate your increased confidence and create a fantastic atmosphere, to make sure your class returns again and again. Find out why, amongst other things, we are taught to count backwards? 4321!
