Training with polestar

February 18, 2025

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 course I have ever done..

February 1, 2025

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.

That's Polestar!

November 14, 2024

First of all, a huge thanks to everyone who has helped me a lot on my journey of Polestar, especially Maree, Emily, Jo, and Shanelle – our greatest educator group!

Then I would like to thank myself, I have put myself deeply diving into Polestar pilates during the past 3 years and gained a lot on a knowledge basis.

It is definitely a great choice for you if you want to know more about the body and the movement!

Mat Pilates!

November 11, 2024

Becoming a Mat Pilates instructor with Polestar Pilates has been a truly rewarding experience! The course offers in-depth learning with a strong focus on the science of movement, biomechanics, and anatomy. It’s not just about teaching exercises but understanding the why behind every movement, which has given me the confidence to guide clients effectively and safely.

Polestar’s approach is both scientific and holistic. They emphasise a client-centered method that integrates mindfulness and alignment, ensuring every session is tailored to individual needs. The educators and mentors are exceptional—passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive of your learning journey.

It took me a little time to grasp the Principles of Movement, however I now appreciate how essential that foundational knowledge is. Having completed the Mat certification, I feel it’s given me a real advantage as I continue my studies with the Comprehensive Studio course.

Overall, Polestar Pilates offers a comprehensive, inspiring, and high-quality training experience. I couldn’t recommend it more for anyone serious about becoming a Pilates instructor.

Training with Polestar NZ

November 8, 2024

When I decided to do my reformer pilates training I chose Polestar NZ because it was recommend to me by someone whose classes I loved attending. It was the best decision I made. I originally decided to do the training for ‘fun’ – to see if it was something I wanted to pursue. After the first weekend intensive I was hooked and am now on the journey to change careers. The mentors at Polestar NZ are not only experts in what they were teaching us but they were also so incredibly kind and helpful. Studying again can be daunting but they made it feel like it was achievable and that they were there to support every step of the way. I came out of my training with Polestar with a whole new view of what Pilates is and what it can do for people. I am so grateful for the mentors at Polestar NZ and I can’t wait to continue my education with Polestar.
