On March 13 & 14, 2010, we conducted our fifth ActivCore
FEX™ Basic Course for Pilates instructors, Physical Therapists and
fitness professionals. We had eight attendees in the course, and it
went fabulously! We were especially happy to have Tyler Joyce, a
Physical Therapist from Princeton Orthopaedic Association assisting the
course as well. Below is a testimonial from one of the students.
My first encounter with ActivCore FEX was
at Pilates on Fifth here in New York City. Being a former
competitive swimmer, professional trained dancer, and Pilates instructor
I assumed I would have enough core strength, flexibility, and muscle
control to tackle the ActivCore exercises - I was quickly humbled. I
began using ActivCore at Pilates on Fifth and since then
have experienced a significant change in my core strength, upper body
strength, balance, and overall control and awareness of my body. I also
had an adductor injury acquired from dancing and was working with
physical therapists as well as practicing Pilates to try and recover
from the injury. In doing the ActivCore exercises I was able to recover
fully from my injury as well as pinpoint the weaker muscles and
strengthen them to prevent a further occurrence. I decided without
hesitation to take the certification course. Since then I have been
using ActivCore with clients. I have found concepts that some clients
had a hard time finding, such as core engagement, with able to quickly
tap into with ActivCore. Not only this, but clients get excited with the
rapid improvement they see. ActivCore has truly influenced me
personally as a dancer, but has also made a significant impact on my
clients.
