Classes on Offer

  • Reformer Pilates

    Smart movement. Strong foundations.

    Our most sought after class.

    Our Reformer Pilates classes offer a modern take on the classical method, grounded in evidence-based teaching and intelligent programming. This full-body workout focuses on core strength, postural alignment, flexibility, and controlled movement — all performed on the Reformer machine to add resistance and support.

    Expect a targeted, dynamic session that hones in on key areas such as the core, glutes, and posture muscles. Classes are guided with a range of precise cues, including verbal, visual, and tactile prompts to help you move more effectively and safely.

    Perfect for all levels — whether you're building a solid foundation or looking to refine your technique, Reformer Pilates delivers results that go beyond the mat.

  • ReFARMER Pilates

    Build strength. Move better. Perform stronger.

    A Reformer Pilates class designed specifically for men.

    ReFARMER Pilates focuses on building functional strength, mobility, and control through intelligent, performance-driven programming. This full-body workout targets key areas such as the core, hips, glutes, and posterior chain — supporting better posture, improved movement efficiency, and reduced injury risk both in and out of the studio.

    Expect purposeful, athletic sequences that challenge strength and stability while maintaining precision and control. Guided with clear, practical cues, this class helps you move smarter, build resilience, and develop strength that translates into everyday life, sport, and training.

    Ideal for all levels — whether you’re new to Pilates or looking to complement your current training, ReFARMER Pilates delivers strength with intention.

  • Therapeutic Reformer

    Restore. Rebuild. Realign.

    A slower paced, supportive Reformer class designed for those requiring a more tailored approach to movement.

    Therapeutic Reformer focuses on restoring strength, stability, and mobility through mindful, low-impact exercises that prioritise control and alignment. Ideal for seniors, pre and postnatal clients, or anyone recovering from injury, this class bridges the gap between rehabilitation and traditional Pilates - offering a safe space to rebuild confidence in your body.

    With a focus on functional movement patterns and intelligent modification, every session is guided by a healthcare professional and clinical instructor who ensures your program meets your body’s needs and goals. Expect to move gently, intentionally, and effectively - regaining strength and ease at your own pace.

    Perfect for those seeking a restorative yet empowering approach to movement and long term wellness.

Clinically Accredited Instructor

Alison is a clinically trained, accredited Reformer Pilates instructor through the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI), with over 8 years of teaching experience. She is a CORU-registered Occupational Therapist with an extensive clinical background, specialising in hand and upper limb therapy — providing a strong, evidence-based foundation for her teaching.

Originally from the Irish midlands, Alison began her Pilates journey in 2018 and expanded her training and practice while living in Melbourne, Australia. There, she developed a strong focus on the clinical application of Pilates across the Reformer, Pilates Chair, and Trapeze Table, integrating rehabilitation principles with intelligent, functional movement.

Passionate about health through movement and inclusivity within the fitness industry, Alison is dedicated to creating a supportive, welcoming space at Éirigh Pilates — where every body is encouraged to move with confidence, care, and purpose.

Outside the studio, Alison can usually be found outdoors trying (with varying success) to spot red squirrels and badgers, learning the basics of woodworking, or experimenting with creative pursuits such as watercolour painting — with stained glass next on the list. She also has a soft spot for slow cooking and good music, both of which pair nicely with a slower pace of life.

  • "Just started reformer pilates and absolutely love it. Highly recommend it! Alison is so professional and knowledgable. You really know you worked out, I usually go early morning and its great to know you've done something for yourself before the day kicks off. Looking forward to feeling better and stronger over the next few weeks/months."

  • "I couldn’t recommend Alison’s classes enough, she’s a brilliant teacher with a real understanding of the body. Reformer is an amazing form of exercise but I struggled to find classes here that compared to ones I went to in Dublin. Éirigh Pilates has completely solved that issue, thank you Alison!"
