Intro
In the words of founder Joseph Pilates: “We retire too early… Our prime of life should be in the 70s and old age should not come until we are almost 100.” For those who practice Pilates, this popular form of exercise can be used to reduce stress levels, improve balance and strengthen the core. When it comes to age-related conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis, Pilates has been proven to be incredibly effective in alleviating the symptoms.
Our Level 3 Pilates for Older Adults course is designed to upskill current Pilates teachers, enabling them to safely and effectively work with this rapidly growing special population. It’s also incredibly useful for other fitness professionals wishing to expand their client base.
While on course, you’ll receive individually-tailored support from our expert team of tutors and assessors. This is also unlimited with no caveats, so you’ll be able to access as much help as you need.

Level 2 Gym Instructor
2015-11-14I've had a nice time and met some very nice people during this course and I would recommend it to anyone interested. The online learning and tutor were a great help so even though English is not my mother tongue, which made it sometimes a little bit more complicated, I managed to finish my course successfully. I'm glad that I chose HFE.
