This has led Modern Pilates to be one of the most inspirational pilates and respected training organisations in the UK. Modern Pilates was created by leading UK teacher Cherry Baker. Cherry has an extensive background in Pilates and fitness and coupled this with her work with leading Physiotherapist Christopher Norris to create our courses.

Modern Pilates is based on the original works of German-born Joseph Pilates. His methods were used primarily by dancers, however,  recently these methods have been introduced into the health and fitness industry. Whilst Modern Pilates looks at the original works of Joseph Pilates, it takes Pilates into the 21st Century. We believe we have taken the best of Joseph Pilate’s techniques and combined them with recent research and knowledge we have about fitness, exercise and core stability. This has enabled Modern Pilates to create a scientific and educationally sound programme for health and fitness professionals.

All our programmes are taught by Physiotherapists and Pilates Practitioners and we believe our unique and inspirational approach will ensure you have the benefit of a wide range of teaching techniques and styles that will give you a solid foundation to be a successful Modern Pilates teacher.

Modern Pilates training programmes are ideal for personal trainers, physiotherapists, health professionals, experienced group exercise teachers and Pilates enthusiasts.

It is important that you choose the right training programme and one that is nationally respected and recognised. Modern Pilates are accredited by Central YMCA Qualifications, the Register of Exercise Professionals and Skills Active, which ensures you will get the highest quality training possible along with the best possible start to your new career.

Modern Pilates will support you before, during and after your course and offer you unrivalled support throughout your Pilates career.
