This past weekend, we welcomed our newest cohort of Polestar Trainees for their very first course weekend – and what a start it was! With a full intake of 20 enthusiastic trainees, the energy was buzzing from the get-go.
The weekend opened with a dynamic mat-based exercise circuit – the perfect way to wake up the body and mind! Under the expert guidance of Polestar Educator Michele and supported by a team of wonderful Polestar Mentors, the trainees jumped straight into learning, questioning, and exploring.
Throughout the two days, the group tackled their Gateway Mat exercises. The matwork is the cornerstone of the Polestar Pilates repertoire, laying the foundation of movement skills that will seamlessly carry over to the studio equipment later on. Our trainees not only practiced these exercises but also took turns teaching them to one another and learning how to assess each other using Polestar Fitness Screening tools.
The level of curiosity and dedication on display was truly inspiring – there were plenty of lively discussions, thoughtful questions, and moments of collaborative problem-solving that showed just how committed this group is to growing as future movement professionals.
Next up, the adventure continues as the trainees progress to foundational exercises on the Pilates apparatus – including the Reformer, Barrels, Wunda chair, and Trapeze Table. We can’t wait to see how they build on these mat foundations and deepen their skills further!
Stay tuned for more updates from this passionate and hardworking group – we’re excited to be a part of their journey.
