Modern Pilates, based in Glossop and part of the Northern Fitness and Education Ltd group of companies, has become the first UK Pilates training organisation approved to run Central YMCA’s new Level 3 Matwork Pilates qualification.

Under the directorship of renowned fitness expert Cherry Baker the company has been delivering and teaching Modern Pilates in the UK since 1999, helping to raise teaching standards by supporting Central YMCA Qualifications in the setting up of this new qualification.  Cherry also owns and runs her own Pilates Studio in Glossop with her Husband John.  The Studio offers a wide range of Modern Pilates classes along with Yoga and other ‘holistic’ classes.

Modern Pilates training programmes are based on the original works of Joseph Pilates and bring the best of his techniques into the 21st Century.  The programmes have been specifically designed for fitness instructors and health professionals to teach a scientific and educationally sound programme of Pilates to class participants and one to one clients. This unique approach to teaching delivers the benefits of a wide range of teaching techniques and styles that will give instructors a sound and solid foundation to become a successful Modern Pilates teacher.  

The concept for Modern Pilates was developed by Cherry Baker, one of the most respected UK presenters with over 20 years experience of teaching, delivering and presenting. Cherry is the author of Total Core Strength on the Ball and Exercise in Pregnancy. Christopher Norris MCSP one of the UK’s leading sports physiotherapists has also contributed to the content and original development of the Modern Pilates training programmes. His extensive knowledge of core stability and back care has been invaluable and he has helped to further enhance Modern Pilates’ programmes.  

Modern Pilates is now running a ‘conversion course’ specifically for students who have already undertaken the initial training and who wish to up-grade to a formal qualification in Matwork Pilates.  These conversion courses are being run by Cherry Baker and her team at the Modern Pilates Studio in Glossop .  

Modern Pilates has also received many enquires from Pilates teachers who have trained with other organisations and who are keen to gain the prestigious Matwork Pilates with Modern Pilates.

Cherry Baker comments, ‘We recognise that students have already invested in their training and that they now wish to up-date their knowledge and skills to gain the CYQ Matwork Pilates qualification. To support these teachers we will be offering the new Matwork Pilates course for a period of 12 months at a generous discount, and this will enable teachers to gain a vocational qualification at Level 3  with CYQ that will also place them on the Register of Exercise Professionals at Level 3’.  

Commenting specifically on the YMCA Award Cherry says: ‘We are very proud and delighted to bring our students the ‘gold standard’ in Pilates education. The hard work that Central YMCA Qualifications and Modern Pilates have put into this ensures students will have the best foundation possible to develop careers in Pilates teaching’.
