“More virtual live classes from Kirsten Roberts! Her classes are the best. They are so fun, challenging, and give me so many ideas to further my own teaching skills.  I feel more confident to teach a group class with effective communication skills using verbal cues and imagery. I look forward to applying these skills in a 1-1 setting with physiotherapy patients in a rehab setting as well as for Clients through preventative exercise and fitness training.”

–Clare A., Livestream Sept. 2020

“It is very relevant as most of PT patients will need to improve core stabilization, glut and abdominal strength and the exercises are nicely graded to provide a path for growth but not to discourage anyone from doing them due to difficulty level. I love the safety component built into it as the exercises are graded.”

–Agnieszka B., Livestream Sept. 2020

“I chose this course as I was looking for more education in the Pilates field and also another point of view. Since I have already taken the Level 1 and 2 with Kirsten, I would have to say she is the other reason I am choosing APPI. Kirsten Roberts did a great job of explaining the benefits of APPI. Her demeanor is very approachable. I noticed in the class, we were all comfortable asking questions and she was eager to answer them. She also explained why other methods are not for everyone without insult. You can tell Kirsten is a well-educated woman and because of that, she exudes confidence, not entitlement. I have trained through two other methods and this one is by far the best. Both had teachers that were not approachable and made you feel a little below them. Kirsten seems happy to bring you up to her level. I am so glad to add APPI to my resume.”

—Lisa S., Livestream Sept. 2020
