Introducing Mbodies Pilates Reformer Instructor Training to Hungary
Further to the development of online Pilates education in
the UK, Mbodies is gaining a strong international presence as a Pilates
Education Provider by introducing its video education content and assessment
programmes in countries and languages other than English.
Initial collaboration with TMSPilates studio, Budapest, introduces
Mbodies Pilates Reformer Machine Education to Hungary, in the Hungarian
language, and video content will be demonstrated alongside face-to-face practical interaction with students, in the studio. TMS is the established
regional distributor for Align-Pilates Reformers and as such, ideally placed to promote
Pilates equipment-based training in their dedicated studio.
The courses have been prepared for introduction in two
phases:
Phase 1 Initial training and assessment
Initial training of local Hungarian tutors will be performed by Mbodies in order to train students in Hungary and assess them.
TMSPilates use Mbodies tuition videos on screens in a studio
for face-to-face training by a Mbodies trained Hungarian mentor, who is capable,
but not yet at the full instructor trainer level.
During this initial period, all exams and assessments will be
performed by the Mbodies team in the UK which now also includes native-speaking Hungarian Pilates Instructors, Andrea, and Melinda. Students will be
assessed by a combination of submission of a video of them teaching a prescribed
workout, followed by a one-on-one, face-to-face, verbal and practical
assessment of repertoire safety and understanding.
Translation of video materials to the Hungarian Language.
In order to translate the video instructional materials, the
following process was performed:
·
English text annotated versions of the lessons
in the syllabus are filmed and edited using three camera angles to fully
demonstrate the various exercises or demonstrations.
Voiceovers are then recorded separately to explain the aim of the
exercise, starting positions and action (including breathing,) together with
anatomical target muscles and exercise watchpoints or contraindications for
effective and safe exercise. The
voiceovers are edited to synchronise with the demonstration video.
·
The voiceovers are then re-recorded in Hungarian
using the English videos as a guide for content.
·
The Videos are then re-edited creating new
graphics to match TMSPilates branding colours, fonts, and overall style. Written English text is translated to Hungarian
offline and then replaced on the video graphics, formatting the text for any
discrepancies in sentence length to the English versions.
·
Video durations are re-edited to synchronise or match the new
voiceover lengths, shortening or lengthening the footage by adjusting the
number of repetitions shown.

Workouts, set up of the reformer and safety
In addition to the lessons for individual exercises, there are additional safety and set-up videos for the reformer itself and entire workout demonstrations incorporating the previously learned exercises. These videos are re-filmed from scratch in the Hungarian language by Andrea, using live commentary and demonstration, then edited to TMSPilates style again.
Phase 2 Autonomous assessment in Hungary.
When the TMSPilates instructors in Hungary have progressed
to the required level, all assessments will then take place entirely in
Hungary.
Mbodies Pilates Reformer Machine Instructor training will subsequently be rolled out to other countries and languages in the near future.
