Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates is an extremely popular method of Pilates, using a reformer machine. It works with spring resistance for a dynamic load, making it one of the most efficient ways to tone your body, increase flexibility, relieve back pain & build bone density. Our reformer classes are semi-private personal training sessions within a small group (maximum of 5 clients).
Sessions are available in packs of 5, 10 or 20 and have a 6 month expiry.
New clients who have not used the machine before must attend a group introductory session. These sessions take place on Thursday 11:00 , Friday 11:00 and Saturday 11.30 by appointment - please contact the studio to reserve your introductory session place. Clients who are rehabilitating from an injury or have postural issues may require a private intro & assessment before attending group sessions. If so, this is charged at €30 for a 30 minute one to one session. Please contact the studio to schedule this if required.
Mat Pilates
Our most popular classes are our mat Pilates classes. Taught across 4 levels, from beginners to intermediate we have a class to suit everyone’s ability. We teach mainly STOTT Pilates with modifications, regressions & progressions depending on our clients ability. We use small equipment such as toning balls, flexi bands & foam rollers to add resistance & to challenge coordination. We change our programs every term to keep our classes interesting & to optimize the results of your training.
