Welcome to The Pilates Studio.
We have been teaching Pilates classes at the Finaghy studio for almost 15 years and have earned a reputation throughout the South Belfast area – and beyond – for delivering Pilates classes of the highest standard in a friendly and relaxed environment.
We offer a wide range of Pilates classes – both Mat & Reformer – to suit all levels of Pilates experience.
We are also one of only a handful of Pilates studios in Northern Ireland that can offer you the opportunity to work on the full range of Pilates large equipment – including the Cadillac, Chair and Ladder Barrel. We also offer private tuition for a completely personalised Pilates session.
We teach a style of Pilates that is more traditional and refers back to the principles of Pilates laid down by its creator, Joseph Pilates –
CONCENTRATION
CONTROL
PRECISION OF MOVEMENT
BREATHING
CENTRING
FLOW
Mat classes are perfect for those who want to enjoy Pilates in a group setting. Class sizes are small – maximum 12 – to ensure good client/teacher interaction. We aim to provide fun and varied classes that will provide you with a good workout. They will help to increase your body strength, improve your flexibility and leave you feeling fabulous.
Matwork classes often use small pieces of Pilates equipment to add something different to the classes – small balls, bands and foam rollers are among our favourites! Every prop will help challenge you a little further and keep the classes interesting!
Reformers are probably the best known of the pieces of large equipment invented by Joseph Pilates. The basic design has not changed dramatically from the early versions used by Joseph Pilates in his New York Studio in the 1950s and 1960s, and still uses a system of springs and ropes to bring challenge by adding resistance while providing support.
Reformer Classes are limited to six people in a class – each person working on their own reformer. The classes are challenging and fun, and the results they deliver in terms of increased strength and muscle tone can be seen very quickly.
Private Tuition is the perfect way to have a Pilates session tailored specifically to your needs. Whether you have a specific injury or condition that requires one-to-one attention, or a defined goal you want to aim for, or you simply want the luxury of a session devoted entirely to you – private lessons can offer all of this.
Your teacher will discuss the details of what you want from your private session and will design a Pilates programme to suit your needs. You will also have access to all the large equipment available at the studio (Reformer, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel, Wunda-Chair) to further enhance your workout.
