Let’s list some of the benefits of personal trainer training:

< The instructor’s attention is directed only to you

< The exercise program is made especially for you, according to your physical condition

< Avoid the risk of injuries

< The hour goes at your pace, without being fragmented due to the needs of another student, or you miss the key features of an exercise because you did not understand it and the class carries on for the others

< The instructor can correct your every movement, teaching you to focus on the quality of the movement rather than on the quantity

< You will get maximum efficiency at each training hour

 

One of the most important qualities of a personal instructor is to be able to find the best way to communicate with each student. Do you agree that without communication, be it verbal or nonverbal, you cannot form a connection? At least, not one that you can build upon a process of understanding, knowledge and learning. This requires patience, spontaneity, inspiration and creativity.

Some people are more receptive to the verbal details given by the instructor; others understand better the language of the body. That’s why a good instructor needs to know how to explain each movement in detail by feeling the tone of the voice in order to attract the student’s attention, but also to illustrate precisely the exercise.

Another quality of the personal instructor is to feel the energy of the person he is working with and to give him the appropriate instruction and training to keep the energy in the desired direction. He will know when the student can be asked for more and when not. He will encourage him when he feels he cannot move on and motivate him when he needs it.

A good instructor must be creative, able to maintain the dynamics of classes, thus making the learning process always fresh. Such a teacher will always endear you come to his classes and, consequently, be a brilliant student!

 

The instructor teaches you:

< How to acquire a correct posture

< How to understand and listen to your body

< How to understand your own limits

< The importance of regular training

< The importance and the role of warming up before training

< How to get  the level of concentration that will help you control your movements and get precision in execution

< How to avoid the risk of injuries

< To be persevering  and patient because the results do not appear overnight

How do Pilates meetings take place with a personal instructor?

Pilates 1 on 1 means individual Pilates sessions, in which your personal trainer organizes a personalized workout depending on your body, health issues and your physical condition level. At the beginning, before starting the workout, the instructor will perform a brief visual analysis of your body, observing if you have any muscle asymmetry. You will discuss for a few minutes about any health problems you may have and you will be taught how to breathe during exercises.  After that, you will start training.

Although group Pilates achieves every goal set out, it takes significantly longer than 1 on 1 sessions, due to the fact that the instructor’s attention has to be divided between each participant. Therefore, we strongly recommend building up a secure Pilates base by utilizing 1 on 1 sessions and receiving a 100% of the instructor’s attention in a session specifically tailored for your wants and needs.

Choose the best for you, for your health!

Women began to be affected by cellulite in the ’70s when statistics show that 9 out of 10 women suffer from this condition. More than 40 years ago, pharmaceutical companies have begun to study the issue and market all kinds of creams and lotions to remove the well-known “orange peel”. Once out on the market, each woman has used at least one pharmaceutical product to remove cellulite. In fact, pharmaceuticals do not help 100% to remove cellulite.

In order to get rid of cellulite, you must harmoniously combine nutrition, physical activity and massage sessions done by experienced specialists. Anti-cellulite massage has been known for a very long time, but few are doing it correctly. There are many cases when, due to the technique used, the skin is traumatized, even destroyed. It is true that the technique used in cellulite massage is a tougher, deeper technique and is therefore recommended to be done by professionals, so to avoid the negative effects an anti-cellulite massage may have. Movements of kneading, friction, pressure and even hitting of the affected areas have the role of detoxifying the body and eliminating the surplus water in the body.

An anti-cellulite massage session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending also  on the degree of resistance of the client. Importantly, when using an anti-cellulite massage, you should consume at least 2l of water per day and have restrictions on your diet, especially fast food and processed and preserved foods.

Within the Movement Studio center you can benefit from anti-cellulite massage sessions and the results can be seen quite quickly. After 4-5 sessions, the appearance of “orange peel skin” diminishes, and the skin is much smoother and more hydrated.
