ONLINE COURSES
For Functional Movement
Master Your Foundation. Move with Purpose. Build Real Strength.
Stop Wasting Time on Movement That Doesn't Work
You've tried the generic online Pilates videos. You've followed along with instructors who look great but can't tell you why you're doing each movement or how it connects to real life.
Most Pilates instruction focuses on looking good, not moving well.
Beginners Pilates for Functional Movement
Stop compensating. Stop settling for 40% or less of your potential. Start building the foundation that everything else depends on.

1. Principles Of Pilates
Before you start moving, you need to understand why you're moving. This isn't just another exercise video—it's your movement education. Chris breaks down the science behind why Pilates works for everyone from footballers to postnatal mothers, and why it's the foundation that everything else builds on.
-
2. Pilates Warm Up
This 10-minute Pilates warm up isn't just stretching, it's movement reprogramming that addresses the root causes of restriction and compensation patterns, giving you the foundation everything else builds on.
-
3. Beginners Pilates
This comprehensive session builds the deep core stability and spinal control that forms your movement foundation. From the signature "Hundred" to dynamic rolling patterns, every exercise develops the neuromuscular control that prevents compensation and transfers to all your daily activities.
The Functional Power Difference
This isn't about perfect form for Instagram. This is movement correction with purpose.
Chris’s Approach:
✓ Movement Assessment Principles - Learn to identify your own compensation patterns
✓ Functional Application - Every exercise connects to real-world movement
✓ Progressive Structure - Each video builds systematically on the last
✓ Expert Guidance - From a qualified S&C coach, not just a fitness influencer
"Pilates really grew my body awareness, which allowed me then to do the strength training exercises in a much safer way. I understand the rationale now. He was right."

FAQs
-
Absolutely not! This series is specifically designed for beginners. The first video covers all the fundamental principles you need to know, and we progress slowly and systematically. Unlike generic online videos, Chris explains the why behind each movement, so you'll understand what you're doing from day one.
-
Most online Pilates focuses on following along without understanding. This series is education-first. Chris explains the movement science, shows you how to self-assess, and connects every exercise to real-world function. You're learning a skill, not just copying movements.
-
No equipment required! All exercises use bodyweight only and can be done on a yoga mat or carpeted floor. This makes it perfect for home practice and removes any barriers to getting started.
-
Start with 2-3 times per week, focusing on quality over quantity. The warm-up (Video 2) can be done daily and works perfectly before other workouts. Consistency matters more than intensity at this stage.
-
Fitness and movement quality are different things. As Paudi (Kerry footballer) discovered, even elite athletes can be moving at only 40% of their potential. This isn't about fitness—it's about movement correction and body awareness that will enhance everything else you do.
-
The beauty of this approach is that it's corrective by nature. However, always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program. Chris's method focuses on working with your body's natural patterns, not forcing positions.
-
Body awareness changes can happen immediately—many clients notice better posture and core engagement within the first week. Physical changes in strength and mobility typically develop over 4-6 weeks of consistent practice.
-
This series builds the perfect foundation for the Intermediate Series (coming soon). You'll also have the movement awareness to progress more safely into strength training, sports, or other fitness activities.
