Pilates studios in south Dublin and north Wicklow fall into two groups: reformer studios with machines and small group classes, and mat studios or teachers who run floor-based classes in halls, gyms and clinics. Some physio clinics also run clinical Pilates, led by a physiotherapist.
Reformer classes usually cost more per session than mat classes because of the equipment and smaller class sizes. Many studios sell class packs or monthly memberships and offer a cheaper first class.
Questions people ask
What is the difference between reformer and mat Pilates?
Mat Pilates uses your body weight on the floor. Reformer Pilates uses a sprung sliding machine that adds resistance and support. Both train core strength and control.
How much is a Pilates class in south Dublin and north Wicklow?
It depends on class type and size. We show the lowest price each studio publishes on its website, with the date we checked it.
Do I need experience to start?
No. Most studios run beginner classes, and many ask you to book an introductory class first. Check the studio's page for what it publishes.
Can I do Pilates if I am pregnant or injured?
Many studios offer pre- and post-natal and rehab classes. Tell the instructor about any injury or pregnancy before you start, and check with your doctor if you are unsure.
