Aoife is great—super knowledgeable but also very down to earth and easy to follow. The classes are challenging in a good way, but still really enjoyable. I like that there’s a big focus on doing things properly, so you actually feel the difference after each session. I’ve definitely noticed improvements in my strength and flexibility since starting. It’s also a really relaxed and welcoming vibe, so you never feel out of place no matter your level. Would definitely recommend giving it a go!Posted on Margaret M FlemingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ah Aoife I’m sorry to hear you don’t have enough bodies , it was great meeting you and I thought you were a fab teacher BerniePosted on Laura KalbagTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve recommended Aoife’s Pilates classes to everyone I know locally. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains the exercises really clearly, and her classes have loads of variety. Even though I’ve been doing Pilates for many years, I feel like I’ve made real progress since doing Aoife’s classes. I especially appreciate how much Aoife takes everyone’s individual needs into consideration when teaching the class. Whether you’re a complete beginner, more experienced, or have an injury or restriction, everyone is accommodated. And she’ll even recommend individual adjustments to help you get the most out of the exercises. She encourages you to test yourself, but never pushes you to go too hard. All her classes have a great energy, motivating yet calm, and not too serious!Posted on Emily NevinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
