AFAA Pilates Workshop part 2
The workshop definitely met my expectations. Amy Marshall was the presenter, a master trainer from Massachusetts. She taught us the 27 AFFA exercises along with brilliant modifications and adjustments to use when correcting clients. We had fun, worked hard, and learned new ways of looking at the Pilates movements. I highly recommend AFAA workshops for continueing education credits as opportunities to keep up-to-date on fitness trends and to network with peers. AFAA gets 2 thumbs up!
The workshop was held at 24 Hour Fitness Ultra Sport/Derek Jeter Club on E53rd St and 3rd Ave. It's a large and beautiful, new facility with an excellent Group Fitness room, locker rooms, and a generally friendly staff. Though one guy I talked to gave a bit of attitude about having to help me. Come on, those fancy lockers with digital locks are tricky! Overall I give it a 3 star rating. I'd have to see what it's like on the weekday when I am certain it is full of stressed out office workers.
