Pilates prevention course on the Tower at Classical Pilates Berlin in Kreuzberg

What is a Pilates prevention course?

Our prevention courses comprise 8 or 10 units of 55 to 60 minutes each, depending on the model. In the course you learn the foundational Pilates exercises and their sequences, build stability and postural awareness, and so help prevent back problems caused by poor posture. You train in a small group: at most 8 participants in the mat and Tower courses, at most 7 on the Reformer courses. That leaves plenty of room for individual corrections.

Our five certified prevention courses:

  • Mat course — 10 units · €180
  • Reformer — 8 units · €199 or 10 units · €219
  • Reformer & Tower — 10 units · €219
  • Tower Pilates — 10 units · €219
  • Mami Pilates (pre- & postnatal) — 10 units · €219

The three equipment courses differ in what you train on and where: the Reformer course takes place on the Reformer in the Reformer room, Tower Pilates on the Wall Unit. Reformer & Tower uses both rooms and both pieces of apparatus. All three equipment courses also include a mat component.

For all courses you must attend at least 80% of the units to receive a certificate of attendance for your health insurance fund.

Subsidy from the health insurance funds (§20 SGB V)

The statutory health insurance funds subsidise our certified mat and equipment classes (Reformer, Reformer & Tower and Tower Pilates) and Mami Pilates (pre- & postnatal) as primary prevention under §20 SGB V. The requirement for reimbursement is that you attend at least 80% of the course units. You then receive a certificate of attendance that you can submit to your health insurance fund.

The size of the subsidy is set by each health insurance fund. It’s best to check with your insurer directly before you start.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I register for a prevention course?

We offer several certified prevention courses. They are run exclusively by Ute Böcker and Sachiko Ito-Weber.

Option 1: Book the complete course series. Via our booking page (where you will also find the schedule) you can book the entire course series under “Activities → Courses”. With a single booking you automatically secure all sessions of the course.

Option 2: Book via the classes. Under “Classes” you’ll also find our certified prevention courses. All courses marked “Prävention” (Prevention) belong to our prevention programme. In this case, please proceed as follows:

  1. First buy the 10-class Prevention card. It covers all 10-unit courses (mat course, Reformer & Tower, Tower Pilates and the 10-unit Reformer course). The 8-unit Reformer course can only be booked as a complete course series (option 1).
  2. Choose the prevention course you want, with its respective start date (you can ask us for the start date by email any time).
  3. Then book yourself into all sessions before the course begins.

Important note: Our prevention courses are closed courses. This means the group of participants is fixed once the course starts and no ongoing entries are possible during the course. If you book via the “Classes” section, your place in the whole series is only secured if you book into all sessions immediately after buying the Prevention card. We therefore recommend reserving the complete course series right away.

Please note that our 24-hour cancellation policy applies to all bookings.

Certificate of attendance for your health insurance: Regardless of the booking method chosen, the following applies: to receive a certificate of attendance you must have taken part in at least 80% of the sessions. After the course ends, you can simply request the certificate from us by email. We then issue you a certificate of attendance to submit to your health insurance fund. Please note that the amount reimbursed can vary depending on your health insurance fund.

If you have any further questions, we’re happy to help by email.

What are the requirements for reimbursement?
You must attend at least 80% of the course units. You then receive a certificate of attendance to submit to your health insurance fund for reimbursement.
