During your 1to1 fitness assessment and goal setting session we carry out minimum fitness tests. We use the tests developed by Sport Ireland for RTE's Operation Transformation. They cover balance, upper body strength, lower body strength, and overall fitness. We also discuss your personal fitness goals and choose one to work on over the course of the 10 weeks. The picture above shows the range of personal fitness goals for our members of the current 10 week course.
Our Older Adult classes are done either standing, sitting or leaning on a chair or a wall. No kneeling on getting onto or off the floor - although the exercises we will be doing may make it easier for you to get on and off the floor.Choose to join the class in person in Ballyshannon, or via zoom.
Our Older Adult classes are fun and engaging. Over the 10 week course we work on maintaining or increasing your performance of the minimum fitness tests, plus any personal goals you have. You will be able to see your progress when the minimum fitness tests are repeated at our week 10 class.
Having a medical condition or injuries will require you to check with your GP to ensure Pilates is right for you at the moment. It may mean that some of your exercises need to be modified to ensure you get the benefit of them - that's okay, we are very flexible - we can easily take a different approach.
