My journey with Polestar began in 2022, at a time when my life had just undergone a significant change during COVID. Seeking stability amid the confusion and uncertainty, I decided to pursue something I could truly focus on and continually explore. That’s when I found Polestar Pilates.

I participated in the training courses of Mat, Reformer and Comprehensive, and got to meet the excellent and professional education team in Auckland. During the process of guidance by the unique mentoring of Polestar system, my body and mind changed greatly. In 2023 and 2024, I successfully passed the Reformer and Comprehensive exams.

I have owned my Pilates home studio, met many lovely clients and gained a lot of recognition and sense of accomplishment in the process of teaching them Pilates.

During the Pilates teacher‘s development, Polestar NZ also provides training opportunities on a variety of topics, including master classes and workshops brought to New Zealand by the founders of the entire system, Brent Anderson and Shelly Power themselves, which are amazing experiences.

I am grateful to Maree, Jo, Emily, Shanelle in Auckland, and Andrew as the system technical support, for their guidance and support throughout my process. This year, I joined the Mentor training program, hoping to become an excellent Polestar mentor like them, who can help more people in a more professional way.

除此之外，我用我的母语中文来表达：所有看到这条反馈的华人朋友，我们新西兰培训中心的所有教育者导师团队非常友好，语言不会成为学习障碍，我今年加入了这个团队 预备成为其中的华人导师，希望将来可以帮到大家，期待！

I recently finished studying Mat Pilates with Polestar. It was a great experience! The course was in depth, comprehensive, informative and incredibly worth while. Although I had done a lot of Mat Pilates before, there was SO MUCH MORE to learn! Emily and the other instructors are highly knowledgeable, passionate and approachable.

I currently have lots of people who come to my classes with injuries or limitations and I now feel well equipped to know how to best modify exercises for them, so they can still progress without doing anything detrimental.

I’m a huge fan of Mat Pilates. The exercises helped me gain strength, mobility, flexibility and balance after giving birth to 3 big babies.

Working with a mentor was highlight for me! Ann Michelle was brilliant in every way, she helped me understand the exercises in depth, answered my endless questions and gave me heaps of encouragement.

Would highly recommend this course.

I am currently completing the Polestar Reformer and Mat courses, and I am beyond impressed with the experience! The courses have deepened my understanding of Pilates and given me the skills to both practice and teach it effectively.

What stood out the most was the attention to understanding the anatomy and biomechanics behind the exercises, while also offering plenty of opportunities to practice teaching and receiving feedback.

The team at Polestar are knowledgeable, passionate and approachable, always ready to answer questions

I highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their Pilates knowledge or to become a certified instructor.

I have completed the Reformer and Mat Polestar Pilates courses and they were both amazing!

The in-person weekends were so well organized, covering all aspects of the material in great detail. The educators were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also friendly, supportive, and super thorough in their teaching.

Throughout my mentoring journey leading up to the exam, my mentors made me feel more than prepared for both the practical and theory exams.

Both courses have provided me with extensive knowledge of the anatomy and confidence that I can manage any body that may come into my classes.

As a graduate from a couple years ago I continue to feel supported by the ongoing education and resources we get as a Polestar graduate.

Polestar Pilates Comprehensive Course is one of the best fitness training courses I have ever done.

The format of the course caters for anybody of any learning ability. You get 6 weekends of in person training. Where you get to experience the exercises and see them in different bodies. Maree, Jo and Emily have so much knowledge and experience, it is world class and you learn so much from them.

The online platform with all the teaching and demonstration videos is amazing. I still refer back to this platform when setting up my classes.

Once the course is done it all comes together with the mentoring session. Being held accountable to get the exercise signed off, means that you can feel what each exercise is meant to feel like in your body and it ensures that you can teach the exercise to different client of different abilities. This really helps to elevate your teaching. The mentoring is truly when everything comes together. The mentors are so supportive and amazing to work with. My two mentors Mijin Jones and Karyn Mills were so nurturing, kind, caring and i could not have done it without there help and support.

I would highly recommend Polestar Pilates training to anyone wanting to invest in there future.
