Fanova Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kyosuke Funakubo) will open "FLATTE Instructor College Shinagawa Campus," a training hub for Pilates instructors, on May 1, 2026.
FLATTE Instructor College is a Pilates instructor training program currently operating at a studio in the Setagaya area. The newly opened Shinagawa campus will utilize "FLATTE Pilates Oimachi Store," which grand opened on May 1, 2026, as its school venue. In addition to knowledge and techniques for machine Pilates, it will foster instructional skills, customer service skills, and continuous support capabilities required in actual studio environments.
Through meticulous one-on-one and small-group instruction, and an unlimited practice environment at the studio, the college aims to train instructors who can be active in the field, even those without prior experience.
**Rising Demand for Pilates and Challenges in Instructor Training**
In recent years, with increasing interest in posture improvement, body sculpting, and establishing exercise habits, more people are incorporating machine Pilates into their daily lives. On the other hand, to expand an environment where people can continue Pilates with peace of mind, it is essential not only to increase the number of studios but also to train high-quality instructors.
Especially for machine Pilates, instruction tailored to each individual's physical condition and goals is crucial. It requires not only learning knowledge and techniques but also the ability to observe changes in clients in real-world settings and accompany them to ensure they can continue without overexertion.
Through the operation of personal machine Pilates studios, FLATTE has pursued service designs that are easy for beginners to attend and continue. The FLATTE Instructor College, opening this time, will leverage the expertise cultivated in these real-world settings to focus on training instructors who are strong in practical application.
**Practical Curriculum and Practice Environment for Success in the Field**
FLATTE Instructor College systematically teaches fundamental knowledge of machine Pilates, understanding of the body, instruction methods using reformers, as well as essential communication, posture assessment, program design, and customer service required in actual lessons.
At the Shinagawa campus, "FLATTE Pilates Oimachi Store," scheduled for its grand opening on May 1, 2026, will be used as the school venue. Students can repeatedly practice what they have learned while interacting with reformers in an actual studio space, allowing for practical training that is learned through physical experience, not just classroom study.
A key feature is that the goal is not merely to acquire qualifications, but to enable graduates to take charge of clients in a studio setting immediately after graduation. The philosophy of "ease of continuation" and "individualized support," which FLATTE emphasizes in its store operations, is also reflected in the curriculum, allowing students to learn how to provide lessons that clients can continue with confidence.
**Expansion to Shinagawa Area After Opening in Setagaya Area**
FLATTE Instructor College currently operates at a studio in the Setagaya area. Through its past operations, it has focused on developing instructional skills and customer service required in the field, and creating an environment where students can learn with peace of mind.
By newly opening "FLATTE Instructor College Shinagawa Campus" in the Shinagawa area, FLATTE will expand its training bases and further strengthen its human resource development system to support future store expansion.
**Human Resource Development to Support FLATTE Brand Store Expansion**
FLATTE currently operates three business formats: semi-personal gyms, personal Pilates, and women-only 24-hour gyms, and is promoting store expansion through both directly managed and franchise models. For future expansion, it is crucial not only to increase the number of stores but also to develop human resources who can provide stable lesson quality at each store.
FLATTE Instructor College will serve as a training foundation supporting the growth of the FLATTE brand, assisting aspiring instructors in their career development and strengthening the system for providing community-based Pilates.
Fanova Inc. will continue to promote the creation of an environment where people who want to start or continue exercising can attend with peace of mind, by linking store expansion with human resource development.
