2019 IDEA World Convention highlights
1. Pre-convention STOTT PILATES® workshop
Master Instructor Trainer Laureen DuBeau will be presenting STOTT PILATES Pilates with Props, Levels 1 & 2 at a pre-convention session on June 26. This CEC-qualified workshop will teach you how to increase the intensity and challenge of your Matwork routines using small props, like the Flex-Band®, Fitness Circle® and Toning Balls™, to create fun and invigorating workouts for clients.
2. Find some new exercise ideas for your clients
For the first time, Merrithew will be participating in the IDEA World MEGA Circuit. The sweat-inducing, DJ-thumping event will see participants spend six minutes at each station where they’ll get to try out new pieces of equipment and learn new programming techniques. Merrithew Lead Instructor Trainer Adriana Rotella has designed a fast-paced interval session using the Halo® Trainer Plus with Stability Ball™ and the weighted Halo Trainer Plus 4 to get your heart pumping.
3. Test out some of our new equipment!
Come by booth 1105 in the Expo Hall to try out some of our newest equipment, including the Stability Barrel™ Lite and Mini Stability Barrel™ Lite.
