Why did you open TT Pilates? What were your reasons?
I opened my studio because no one knew about Pilates at the time and I thought it was a great form of exercise that should be shared with others. My goal was and is to raise the awareness of Pilates in China.

你为什么开工作室?        为了让更多人体验到普拉提的好处


What services do you offer in your studio?
We offer private and group classes for all different kinds of people: athletes, kids, elderly, people rehabilitation from injury, as well as offering both prenatal and postnatal Pilates classes for new and expectant moms.

How do you feel about the Pilates market in China? Is it growing?
The Pilates market in China is exploding like a volcano! I strongly believe that in the next five to ten years there will be more and more people learning about and studying Pilates.

你怎么看中国的普拉提市场? 它在发展吗?                   它是个神奇的市场,有一个词叫“中国速度”,普拉提在这里发展是极其迅速的,如果说,前面的10年是他的童年,那么接下来的10将是他的少年时期,他会迅速长大,有思想,有活力。


How long has TT Pilates been a Polestar host centre?
I believe we first started hosting in 2014, but it may have been 2015. It feels like a long time, and it’s such an amazing experience to educate and enrich the lives of our students.

Why did you choose to work with Polestar?
I studied with Polestar myself, and I found it to be a systematic, safe, and effective form of movement.

你为什么选择北极星?       它是一个最权威的培训机构,有历史,有深刻的理论体系,适合培养有开放思维的优秀老师,他的家庭试的支持体系也是最特别的地方。


It must be fun to train future Pilates instructors. What makes it so special for you?
In the past 5 years we have cultivated many great teachers, who have gone on to share their knowledge and be a part of building awareness about Pilates in China.  I feel a great sense of accomplishment to be a part of making this contribution to the Pilates industry. In addition, because of these great trainers more people have learned about the correct way to exercise. I feel like this is a meaningful contribution to people’s health.

培训未来的普拉提教练应该很好玩? 你为什么选择做/对你来说有什么特别?             是的,不但好玩还特别有意义,看到正确的训练知识被传播,很多人因此得到帮助,是一件很幸福的事。

Keep sharing accurate information about Pilates concepts and philosophes.
