I am a health club owner and industry leader; I am also involved in group fitness instructors and group programming for other clubs globally. I have had an association with Marena and Chris Digby of Positive Action Health & Fitness since 2005. With the fitness industry proliferating and wellness studios growing just as fast, I can honestly say that I only recommend Positive Action as the go-to educators.

Chris and Marena’s wealth of knowledge and experience plus, passion and understanding of the history of Joseph Pilates and his legacy, plus the detail applied to the exercises, shows the course content stays true to Joseph Pilates’ authentic method.

I thoroughly enjoyed Positive Action Pilates, Mat Level 1 course. Chris was extremely knowledgeable, and the content was delivered in a clear and easy to follow manner. At the completion of the training I felt confident that I could successfully teach a beginner class. I look forward to completing more training with Positive Action Pilates and even hosting them at my centre.
