STARTING PILATES

At tfallon.com we strongly recommend you participate in an introductory private class, before joining a group class. This will give you the fundamental skills needed to perform the series of Pilate’s exercises. You will be one on one with your instructor. She/He will focus on the principals of core engagement and shoulder stabilization along with your personal goals.

PRIVATE ONE TO ONE

This 1 hour/45min class works on a one to one basis. The benefit of a private class is YOU gain all the RESULTS YOU WANT. The instructor will design a balanced programme for YOUR body. This will involve both mat and equipment based exercises.

GROUP CLASSES (SEMI PRIVATE)

A group class is made up of 5 people. We pride ourselves on small specific classes, allowing us to give expertise training to EACH person in the class. We can communicate and educate with ALL our members on a personal level.

TYPES OF PILATES at TFALLON.COM

• Matwork

This is Pilates exercises performed on a mat. We cater for one to one private classes as well as group classes. See Pilates timetable for times, days & costs below.

• Reformer ( Practised by Madonna, Jennifer Aniston & Gwyneth Pathrow )

The Pilates Reformer is a machine, using springs and straps to add resistance to all exercises. This increases the impact of the exercise and creates a more intense workout.

The Pilates Reformer is especially helpful for first-time Pilates users because the machine supports your movements and body weight throughout while the springs create challenge allowing you to reap the benefits of a all over toned body. Group courses of two people and individual sessions are available at tfallon.com.

• Pre /Post natal Pilates

During this exciting time a regular supervised exercise programme is hugely beneficial to the new mum to be. There are constant changes happening through-out your body during each trimester. We focus on teaching you how to exercise safely, improve posture and breathing during your pregnancy.

• Mens core conditioning

At tfallon.com we also run Men only Pilates classes. This allows us to create a workout specific to the needs of the male anatomy. Many footballers & rugby players attend these courses. See timetable below for class dates & times
