Private Reformer Pilates Dundalk
“In 10 sessions you will feel the difference,
in 20 you will see the difference and
in 30 you will have a whole new body.”
A quote from Joseph H. Pilates, the creator of the Pilates method.
I am so pleased to be offering Private Bespoke Sessions on the Pilates apparatus including the Pilates Reformer, Wunda Chair and Tower. At first glance, a Reformer Pilates studio looks like a medieval torture chamber, but once you begin to use each piece of equipment, your perception will change, with the odd flashback when your muscles protest certain exercises!
The Pilates apparatus is adjusted for each individual using it. This allows me to set it up to suit your body perfectly, meaning that all the work you do on it will be extremely effective, providing enough resistance to build strength while increasing flexibility. And while the Pilates apparatus is absolutely genius, there is a huge difference between doing the Pilates method on the apparatus and doing general exercises on the Pilates apparatus.
I earned my Pilates credentials through BASI Pilates, a highly respected 500 hour college-level Pilates teacher training programme which aim is to create and maintain professional standards for the teaching of the Pilates Method to the highest calibre. I have been teaching Pilates since 2011 and Reformer since 2015.
In addition, I hold the BASI Pilates for Injuries and Pathologies Certification, a Physical Therapy approach to working with clients who have injuries, physical limitations, or movement dysfunctions.
I also hold the Burrell Education Pre and Postnatal certifications which are designed to educate and support Women’s Health Professionals, Physiotherapists and Fitness Professionals in the creation of offerings that have the potential to transform the lives of the women they serve.
My philosophy is to teach the body that is in front of me. Even if you’ve never stepped on a Pilates mat, my goal is for you to perform the Pilates Method to the very best of your ability. Whether you are rehabbing an injury, an athlete wanting to prevent injury, pregnant/postpartum or an older adult wanting a low impact workout, your Pilates session will be tailored to your individual needs and goals.
For those of you who work out with me, I want you to feel good about your body and your body to feel good. Your back will be less tight; your hips will be less tight; you’ll be open in your upper body; you’re going to feel toned; you’re going to feel more relaxed. You’re going to feel amazing!
Bespoke Programme
Private training elevates the experience of Reformer Pilates by focusing exclusively on your personal goals.
All packages include an initial email consultation where we will talk through your goals such as weight loss, increased strength and flexibility or simply wanting to feel fitter and healthier.
I pride myself on the highest level of support for each of my clients. At each session, I watch your form and provide objective feedback on performance and give hands-on instruction. Your sessions will be continually tailored to your specific needs, goals and body type to get you into your best shape with as much life balance as possible. I will challenge you to work through your barriers but I will keep it fun and interesting!
How to get started:
If you’re just getting started out with Reformer Pilates or the apparatus, I recommend booking a single session here. During your session I introduce you to the Pilates equipment while leading you through a full body workout which is appropriate for your needs.
Afterwards, I’ll recommend the best options for you to meet your goals. You can avail of my various packages to save on your sessions.
Need some help before booking anything? You can contact me here and ask me any questions.
