We keep it real with a mix of Pilates exercises that target key muscles and joints, giving your heart a good workout and keeping those bones sturdy. Forget the fluff – our classes are focused on results and a practical, down-to-earth approach to fitness.
In our sessions, we work on the essentials: balance, stability, coordination, mobility, and strength. To add variety and challenge stability, balance and resistance, we makes use of a variety of small equipment like balls, stability cushions, dumbbells, and barres.
We keep things simple, effective, fun and enjoyable. All exercises will be clearly described and demonstrated. Modifications are given for all exercises depending on ability to ensure you get the most from your class.
We will be standing, sitting, kneeling, and lying down. This is an all fitness levels class. If you like, you can choose to do all your exercises in a seated position.
My name is Oonagh McDevitt, and I have extensive experience teaching all ages with fitness levels and am keen for you to get the most out of each class you atten. Full demo and description of all the exercises given including options to make the moves more accessible or more challenging depending on how you are on the day.
It is advisable to check with your GP or physio if you have a medical condition or injury to ensure Pilates is right for you at the moment. It may mean that some of your exercises need to be modified to enable you to get the benefit of them - that's okay, I am very flexible - we can easily take a different approach.
