APM I covers the first three tiers of the PAI 5-Tier Progressive System on the Mat — the Beginner, Advanced Beginner, and Intermediate repertoire that prepares you to confidently teach the vast majority of clients who walk into a real studio.

Most PAI students take APM I as their first apparatus course because Mat work underlies everything else you’ll teach. Every course includes substantial practice teaching under Master Trainer guidance — because PAI graduates leave training ready to teach, not just ready to demonstrate.

Available live at PAI satellite centers worldwide, virtually, or in hybrid format. ABC is a prerequisite for all All Populations I courses.
