As a result of growth and demand, the Studio is looking for teachers who are experienced and qualified to a high standard to join their existing teaching team.

If you are looking to work within the Warrington area then there are immediate opportunities for you.

We are looking for talented and experienced teachers who can deliver pilates sessions at a variety of levels and in various formats. They are as follows:

• Groups of 12 on the mat or reformer
• Small groups on the apparatus
• 1:3
• 1:1
• Rehab/ therapeutic sessions
• Sessions that are multi-level teach (mixed ability)

The studio has an existing timetable that offers Pilates sessions to a range of abilities from the very injured person to the elite athlete and with everything between! So, we are looking for teachers who can, once they have understood our set up and way of delivering pilates, hit the ground running!

The type of person we are looking for must have the following:

• Pilates enthusiast
• Want to be part of a team
• Permanent learner
• Open to the various schools of teaching
• Incredibly personable
• Utterly client focused (you will be expected to know every clients name and associated issues)
• Able to take leadership
• Adaptable
• Enjoy working with a wide range of people.
• Able to work at least one evening (3 sessions back to back) a week and one shift at the weekend.

If you are at all interested and would like to be considered then we would love to hear from you.

Please send an up to date CV with a clear outline of your current teaching experience with sample lesson plans from sessions you are currently teaching - ideally beginners and intermediate level. This will provide us with an understanding of your planning skills regarding the level of teaching and content.

We would be grateful if you would clearly define your aspirations in the industry and availability for work.

In addition, please give an overview of the plans you have for your own progression to achieve your stated goals.

Whilst we are interested at this point in teachers who can more or less 'hit the ground running', we are also interested in taking on newly qualified but talented teachers who we can train within our brand.

The process to follow the submission of your CV should we think you could fit within our team will be firstly an interview, secondly, we will observe you teaching a sample session and thirdly, if you are successful at that point, we will make you a temporary offer for a trial period of time.

If you believe you are the person we are looking for please send your CV and sample lesson plans to: tanya@pilatesnorthwest.co.uk with all your relevant contact details. We look forward to hearing from you.

One to One and small group classes are available for everyone! They can taken as a one-off introduction to the technique or as a series. Although it is not mandatory, we would encourage all new students to do a One to One session before joining a 5x5 course and progressing into larger groups as it greatly helps make sense of what you will be trying to achieve.

We very strongly recommend a One to One for anyone referred to Pilates by an orthopedic consultant or a physiotherapist. During this session we can work to understand your needs, modifying any exercise before you join the group. One to One sessions cost £40 for the hour.

5x5's are designed to provide an ideal beginners introduction to Pilates techniques. 5 clients form a small group and spend 5 weeks learning the principles of Pilates. You will be guided thoroughly through the different elements of Pilates, including Reformers, laying the foundations for you to continue into our range of mainstream classes. 5x5 series classes costs £15 per week, which is £75 for the course.

Assisted places allow you to join in with a standard group class while having a dedicated teacher assistant with you throughout the session. This can be booked for several weeks until your confidence in the technique builds up. Assisted places cost £18 per hour long session.

Posture analysis is an extremely useful session completed on a one to one basis. Your presenting posture is explored and muscle balance testing carried out to work out where your specific weaknesses are.

During your analysis you will discover which of the four posture categories you fit into. You will then be prescribed specific exercises to alter the imbalance therefore improving your posture towards a more optimal alignment where the body is strongest.
