### Without people to "deliver" it, Pilates will not reach people
The demand for Pilates is expanding year by year. However, the supply of instructors cannot keep up with the growing demand. Especially in Hokkaido, options for training institutions are limited, and it is not uncommon for people to have to travel to Honshu (the main island) to obtain qualifications.
Our company has a hypothesis regarding this structural issue.
What is needed most to deliver Pilates to society is not the number of studios, but a system where high-quality instructors can be nurtured within the region and continue their activities.
### Our Business Structure - The reason for designing studio operation and education integrally
"Watashi no Pilates" is a fully private Pilates studio that opened in the Sapporo Odori area in 2023 and currently expanding into the Maruyama area. We offer one-on-one personal lessons centered around machine Pilates.
Since its opening, we have designed our studio operations and education business as an integrated structure, without separating them.
The reason is clear. The training of instructors and on-site teaching experience cannot be separated. The process in which the knowledge learned in the training course is established and polished during actual client interactions is indispensable.
This is exactly the significance of our company operating the training course as .fonv Academy Sapporo.
