Intensive Mat-plus 2nd Edition 4-hour In-Person & Online Course

The 4-hour IMP Course 2nd Edition is designed to teach existing fitness instructors and others with the pre-requisite training how to program and instruct clients successfully the STOTT PILATES Essential and Intermediate Matwork. This Homework & Study Guide is used alongside your course and is an instrumental resource for you to prepare for your STOTT PILATES examination in Matwork.

note to students: Physical review of the Matwork material is very important to ensure full understanding within your own body first, before attempting to teach someone else. It is also very important to ensure your body is prepared for the increased challenge at each level of repertoire as you move through your STOTT PILATES Instructor Training.

Relevant hours completed during your Homework will count towards your overall required Observation, Practice Teaching & Physical Review hours needed to sit for your exam.

Requirements of certification:

40 hours of instruction and supervised teaching (course time) OVER 10 DAYS
Minimum of 10 hours of observation
Minimum of 30 hours of physical review

Note: Hours tracked in your Study Guide should be moved to your offcial log sheet prior to sitting for your exam. Observation

Observation hours can be logged during or after a STOTT PILATES® course and can be accrued by watching a STOTT PILATES
Certified Instructor/Instructor Trainer teach clients (in-person or online), as well as observing the relevant course videos on DVD
or through Merrithew ConnectTM. Please ensure you receive permission from the Merrithew Training Center and/or presenting Instructor well in advance, if you are observing in person.

Physical Review

Physical Review hours means physically performing the exercises learned in class. Taking a class with a STOTT PILATES Certified Instructor/Instructor Trainer or working out with relevant course videos on DVD or through Merrithew Connect can qualify as physical review hours, and can be completed individually or with other students.

You can participate in an online Pilates session or join an online group Pilates class that teaches STOTT PILATES repertoire with a STOTT PILATES Certified Instructor/Instructor Trainer. You can also attend a Merrithew Online Workshop (offered by Merrithew

Training Centers worldwide or the Corporate Training Center).

Practice Teaching

Practice Teaching hours can be fulfilled by teaching STOTT PILATES course repertoire to family, fellow students, friends or clients, cueing and correcting them through a workout. Practice Teaching can be done in-person or by using a video conferencing pro-gram, such as Skype or Zoom.

The study guide is broken down into areas of focus.

These include:

1. Video Prep. This should be done before the next day’s class in order to prepare you for the material that being covered.

2. Video Review. This should be done between classes as a review of the material that was previously taught.

3. Session Focus. This gives you an idea of the focus of that day’s class. As you work through the material, you will be able to identify any areas that need further review or clarification.

4. Homework Questions. These questions are designed to ensure you have a clear understanding of the material that is being covered.
