Accreditation

We offer 2 pricing options for our PFS PILATES course: 

Option 1 (STUDENTS PROFI FITNESS SCHOOL) is intended for students/graduates who have finished or are in the process of education with a PFS Personal Trainer. The price is much lower because our students only need to complete their Pilates knowledge. (5 days  Theoretical Practice)

Option 2 (FULL COURSE) (11 days of practical and theoretical classes) is intended for people who do not have the qualifications of a Personal Trainer. During the course, in addition to full knowledge of Pilates, they must master the knowledge of:

• PFS FUNCTIONAL BIOMECHANICS® ANATOMY, POSTURAL & PHYSIOLOGY
• PFS NUTRITION INTRODUCTION®
• PFS MINDSET & STRESS MANAGEMENT®
• PFS PRE & POST NATAL TRAINING
• PFS MOBILITY & FLEXIBILITY®
• PFS CLIENT MANAGEMENT®

Both variants include the obligatory days of the course (in the DURATION  tab, day numbers:  5, 6, 8, 10, 11), the omission of which will prevent you from taking the final exam. (You can make up for the missed days in the course in the next edition of the Pilates course or another city)
