He is a 15+ year veteran of the Pilates Method (over 30,000 hours of teaching experience) and continues to pursue his interests in the rehabilitative and pain management benefits of The Pilates Method, Gyrotonic® and other movement therapies.
Neil received his B.Sci., Geological Engineering in 1979, but it took the next five years to discover his passion and a career path better suited to his soul. He has since gone on to gain a variety of experience in the US and Australia.
Some of his professional qualifications include Fitness Instructor Certification from the American College of Sports Medicine; Grad. Cert in Pilates-based Movement Therapy, an internationally Certified Instructor and Pre-Trainer in Gyrotonic®; Certification in Polestar’s Pilates for Post- Acute Rehabilitation; and has been teaching practitioner workshops in applied Pilates Method throughout Australia since 1995.
Neil was a graduate of the inaugural Australian Pilates Method Association’s Level 1 (currently the Level 2) Pilates Instructor Course in 1996 and obtained a Grad. Cert. in Pilates-Based Movement Therapy in 2005. He has additional on-going training and interests in many areas such as Body-Mind Centering®, The Feldenkrais Method, the use of visualization, and the therapeutic/rehabilitative application of his experiences.
Neil was co-founder of Origin Fitness Alternatives in Melbourne, Victoria (1995-2001). In 2001, he established Revolution Pilates Studio in Leederville, WA. It’s popularity as a studio and teacher-training facility necessitated a move to the more spacious Mt Hawthorn location in 2003. Neil is a Registered Level 2 Instructor Course Provider for the APMA, teaching on the course since 1996. He is a Practitioner Level 4 Member of the Association, has been the APMA’s liaison in WA since 2001, and had the honour to sit as its Vice President (2005-2007).
