Welcome to Kilkenny Pilates
Here, We Strive To Become Stronger. Not Perfect.
The Mission
We're on a mission to help more people in Kilkenny live and move well and delay ageing.
.
The Vision
To be a Pilates studio that people genuinely love coming to, because they feel seen, supported, and encouraged.
The North Star
To share our passion for mindful movement so you feel free, in your 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: Body-positive, safe space.
Consistent Quality: Thoughtful class planning
The Space
If you naturally gravitate towards small, intimate bars over large noisy ones, or cosy coffee shops (where the barista knows your name) over Starbucks, then Kilkenny Pilates is totally your vibe!
If you thrive in big fitness studios filled with distractions, we're probably not the place for you. Instead, we offer a little oasis of calm in the heart of Kilkenny City. You’ll get a mental reset and an effective workout, every time.
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 1-1 Pilates but don't want to spend that kind of money...
If you want to put a solid foundation in place before moving on to more dynamic exercises...
Then we'd love to welcome you to our body-positive community.
No stereotypes. No influencers.
Just normal people with a shared passion for moving well.
The Style
The Difference
The Promise
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.
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.
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.
Finding Your Why
Whether your bucket list includes climbing Machu Picchu or playing the top 20 golf courses in the world or you simply want to build bone density to maintain your mobility and independence in later
life, Pilates is the full-body workout focused on core strength that you need to be doing. Muscle loss begins as early as 30, making it critical to start preserving your muscle mass now.
