We're not about getting you "bikini-ready". We're about getting you ready to explore the world at 65, live independently at 75 and have no fear of falling at 85.
The Mission
We're on a mission to help more people in Kilkenny City live and move well and postpone ageing.
.
The Vision
To be a Pilates studio that people genuinely enjoy working out in, because they feel seen, supported, and encouraged.
The North Star
To share our passion for mindful movement so you'll feel free, in mind and body.
If moving better, feeling better and clearing niggling pains are more important to you than looking cute in pastel-coloured matching gym sets, you'll feel right at home here!
The Values
Genuine Empowerment: You'll get stronger, we promise!
Personal Attention: With a maximum of four per class, there’s no place to hide!
Positive Vibes: Feel lighter, in mind and body.
Supportive Community: Forget the"Pilates Body" stereotypes. Our studio is a truly inclusive space where we focus on how you feel—strong and connected—and not on outward appearance.
Consistent Quality: Thoughtful class planning and strong teaching skills.
Your Privacy is Paramount: As a small, client-first studio, we promise never to film or photograph you in our classes for social media or promotional purposes. Our focus is always on you, not on growing our Instagram account.
The Space
If you naturally gravitate towards small, intimate bars over large noisy ones, or cosy coffee shops (where you're on first names terms with the friendly guy working there) over the impersonal vibe at Starbucks, then Kilkenny Pilates is for you!
If you thrive in big fitness studios filled with distractions, we're probably not a good fit. Instead, we offer a little oasis of calm in the heart of Kilkenny City. You’ll get a mental reset and an effective workout, at every visit.
The Tribe
If you're tired of packed reformer classes where you strain to hear the instructor's cues over loud music...
If you'd love weekly private or duet classes but don't have that kind of money to invest...
If you want to put a solid foundation in place before moving on to more advanced exercises...
Then we'd love you to join us!
The Style
We believe if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
That's why we take the time to truly focus on you. We carefully check your alignment and guide you to tweak it just right.
Your feet will be positioned precisely on the footbar to activate the specific muscles we want to target.
That's not so easy to do if you've got ten (or more!) pairs of feet to keep an eye on.
Little Adjustments, Big Difference
When your alignment is slightly off, an exercise may feel easier but won't effectively target the specific muscle group you need to be working.
Without your teacher's adjustments, you might not even realise this and think you're doing it right!
We focus on those seemingly small corrections because they lead to significant improvements in muscle activation.
The Difference
You've probably heard the term "boutique studio" a lot in the fitness world, suggesting exclusivity and personalised attention. But here's the thing: "boutique" has become a bit of a buzzword. We've seen studios with as many as 13 reformers call themselves "boutique," which is a bit of a stretch!
Why "Semi-Private" Is Different
This is where "semi-private" comes in, and it's a term we stand by. "Semi-private" isn't a marketing buzzword; it has a clear meaning: personalised attention in a very small group setting.
In our studio, "semi-private" means just that: four people or less in a class. This intimate setting allows us to focus on you. We can properly observe your form, offer immediate adjustments, and tailor exercises to your specific needs and goals. It's about getting the most out of every movement and progressing at your own pace.
When you choose semi-private, you're opting for genuine individual attention over a packed class. Here, your progress is everything.
The Promise
You’ll fit better in your jeans. And that’s certainly nice! But we go deeper than that: we promise that you’ll move and feel better for years to come.
Mental Clarity
Those 50 minutes of “me-time” on the reformer? They're a mental reset. You'll leave our studio feeling clearer, calmer, and happier.
Functional Strength
You may not get your twentysomething figure back, but those aches and pains that have been bothering you will be a thing of the past . Long hikes and climbing flights of stairs won’t tire you out like they once did. That's the real-world strength that makes all the difference to your quality of life.
Mind-Body Awareness
You'll move differently — more connected, more graceful. This reduces the risk of injuries and falls and deepens your mind-body connection, both on and off the reformer.
Find Your Why
Whether your bucket list includes exploring South East Asia or playing the top 20 golf courses in the world when you retire or you're simply looking to build bone density to maintain your mobility and independence in later life, Pilates is the full-body workout focused on enhancing core strength that you need.
Muscle loss begins as early as 30, making it critical to start preserving muscle mass now. Pilates can help restore what ageing takes away.
