Christmas is a mere few weeks away, yikes! Take the time to up the ante and get yourself to a class before we all hibernate for a few weeks. Our new booking system makes it easy for you to select the dates and times you want so you can schedule your work outs around your Christmas parties and nights out. Don’t let all that previous hard work slide before the big day!

We have lots of good news this month –  for starters we’ll be trying out new Saturday classes from January so you can get that extra weekend workout in to help shift any turkey and trifle excesses. We’re also helping with your Christmas shopping as we are offering Gift Vouchers for those in your life who love their Pilates (or for yourself too!). We have new stock in the studio – mats, spiky balls, flexbands, foam rollers and fitness circles – great stocking fillers one and all.

What an amazing summer we’ve had. Hopefully you’ve all been able to get outdoors to enjoy it. We’re making the most of it. Our picture this month is of the upper lake in Glendalough in Wicklow from the top of the Spink. It’s a great looped walk, about 12-13km and well worth the effort for the views.  Continue reading →
