𝗦𝗢... 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢 𝗪𝗘 𝗗𝗢 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦?
First week back, and we are steadily working through our new timetable.

The Thursday lineup is all in the evening one - three classes, each offering something a little different.

𝟱.𝟭𝟬𝗽𝗺: 𝗠𝗔𝗧 𝗣𝗜𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦
Fifty minutes on the mat with a bit of everything - strength, mobility, balance and plenty of movement. You'd be surprised how much Pilates you can do with just a mat.

𝟲.𝟭𝟬𝗽𝗺: 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗛 & 𝗠𝗢𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬
Want to get stronger and keep your body moving well? This class gives you a good mix of both - plenty of strength work alongside exercises that keep you mobile and moving freely.

𝟳.𝟭𝟬𝗽𝗺: 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗥
Never tried Reformer? This one's for you. I'll show you what all the springs, straps and moving bits are for - and then we'll put them to work. No previous experience needed.

So that's Thursday: 𝗠𝗮𝘁, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, or your very first go on a Reformer.

There are spaces tomorrow evening. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗻. You might surprise yourself.

Not sure which one? DM me and I'll help you choose - or I'll save you a space.

It was great to see familiar faces coming through the door again - and to welcome some new people to the studio for the first day of our September term.

And tonight we have two very different classes:

𝟲.𝟭𝟬𝗽𝗺 - 𝗠𝗲𝗻 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀
For men who want to get stronger, work on mobility and keep themselves moving well.
No Pilates experience needed.

𝟳.𝟭𝟬𝗽𝗺 - 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 & 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 is back.
Already active? This class is about looking after your body - building strength, stability, mobility, and control to support whatever you do outside the studio.

No Pilates experience needed for this one either.

Coming for the first time? Wear socks and trousers/shorts and a top you can move easily in. Everything else you need is here.

Mat €16. Reformer €24.

There’s room this evening if you’d like to join us.

Book through Gymcatch or at www.pilatesdonegal.ie⁠ or DM me and I’ll save you a space.

If you know someone who might enjoy either class, like and share.

Starting Pilates can feel frustrating at first.
You may look around the room and think everyone else has it worked out while you are still trying to remember which leg is doing what.
That is completely normal.
I have recently started filming little videos for the studio — and let’s just say, getting one right has involved rather more takes than expected.
You do not need to be good at Pilates before you start. You come to class to learn, practise and improve.
Start where you are.

A lot of people are nervous before their first Reformer Pilates class.

Many arrive convinced they won’t be fit enough or able to keep up.

Most are surprised by how welcoming and supportive classes actually feel.
You start at your own level, work at your own pace, and build from there.

Real People. Real Lives.

“Pilates is just for girls…”
That is what one of our newer clients thought when he started classes 6 weeks ago.
Yesterday he told me his golf is now the best it has been in years - and that he is very glad he stuck with it.
At Pilates Donegal we have people of all ages and abilities coming to classes each week - people wanting to move better, feel stronger, improve flexibility, work on balance, or simply do something positive for themselves.
Thinking about getting started?
Our START HERE classes are designed for beginners and those returning after a break.

A lot of people think Reformer Pilates looks much harder than it actually is.
We often hear: “I could never do that.” “I wouldn’t be fit enough.” “That machine looks terrifying.”
Most people are surprised by how supported the reformer actually feels.
Classes are adapted to suit different ages and fitness levels.
That’s what we gently work on in class.
