This past April, I had the privilege of leading demonstrations and working with attendees at our Peak Pilates booth at FIBO. FIBO is one of the world’s largest fitness trade shows and this year it was held in Essen, Germany. I was also very honored to work along side our International Peak Pilates Teacher Trainers. It was a heart-warming and incredible cultural experience.
We had a great response and a great showing at our booth. I have never been surrounded by so many languages at one time! I worked with people from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, India, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Russia and the list goes on… Wow!
It’s amazing how the international Pilates market is catching momentum and growing. We spoke to an Arabian customer who said he had resisted Pilates for years, and now, he says, “Here I am asking you for a demonstration on the equipment.” He spent about forty-five minutes at our booth asking all the right questions. People are realizing that Pilates is here to stay!
As many of you know, Peak Pilates offers Classical Pilates and our fitness line, MVe Fitness Fusion. It is so smart to offer both because the reality is that both are in demand. The market demands the ingenuity of our equipment and the clarity of our education. Because we have upheld the integrity of the traditions of Joseph Pilates, we are the single source solution for any studio owner or any club franchise entrepreneur. The positive response we received at FIBO provides evidence that there is a need for all we have to offer.
I encourage all Pilates professionals to experience both the “Classical” and “Fitness World” of Pilates. Be smart and expose yourself to all the Pilates industry has to offer.
