The Kick Start 2018 Course, which is being hosted by Life Fit Wellness next weekend has been devised and taught by Michael himself with the objective of motivating and educating through the latest research and Pilates techniques.

Pilates is a system of exercise created by Joseph Hubertus Pilates in the 1920’s. A full body programme with a mind/ body emphasis. Focus is placed on controlled movements performed in a fluid and balanced way to improve strength, mobility, flexibility, and coordination when practiced regularly.

David Bowmaker, co-founder of Life Fit Wellness at The Falkirk Business Hub, said: “It’s a real privilege to welcome Michael. He’s an inspiration to the Pilates community worldwide and continues to pave the way with his revolutionary courses and workshops.”

Kenith Munro, Falkirk Business Hub manager, said: “This is a real coup for Life Fit Wellness and testament to their reputation as a leading physiotherapy and fitness Centre. Michael is a world-renowned Pilates instructor recognised for his techniques and this is an extremely unique opportunity for people to meet him and learn from his teachings.”
