EMD UK congratulates Peak Pilates for achieving CPD recognition for their in-depth fusion pilates training programme.
Peak Pilates®, which provides Pilates education and equipment, has achieved official CPD recognition for its FitCore™ Group Reformer Speciality Education Programme, an innovative pilates fusion programme. Instructors who take the programme will now be awarded 10 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training.
FitCore™ is a pre-programmed, balanced workout that has a high sweat factor. It’s a dynamic and contemporary reformer-based certification, designed to fuse classical Pilates principles with modern functional movement. The training equips instructors with skills to deliver engaging, results-driven group classes, taught in a creative and unique way, and EMD UK are delighted to award CPD accreditation to the programme.
“Working with the team at EMD UK to gain recognition was a genuinely positive experience. They were supportive, approachable and highly professional throughout the process, making it straightforward from start to finish,” said Christie Braband, Master Instructor for FitCore™ powered by Peak Pilates®.
“This endorsement by EMD UK is a significant milestone. It confirms our commitment to excellence in reformer education and supports Peak Pilates’ mission to empower instructors with high-quality, recognised training.”
The programme is now being offered on timetables in both the boutique studio sector and major gym chains, seeing a growing demand for certification.
“In the first quarter of this year, we have already trained 100 instructors to lead FitCore™ Group Reformer.” advised Christie.
Group Exercise instructors looking to complete the training can do so at one of the 2 working showroom studios located in Cambridgeshire, or via bespoke arrangement for companies wishing to qualify a number of instructors.
EMD UK is the UK’s only national governing body for group exercise instructors, providing support, professional insurance and CPD-recognised qualifications to our members. Through our CPD accreditation scheme, we uphold the highest professional standards for training in the sector.
