Reformer Pilates
At Finesse Movement, our Reformer Pilates classes are designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and live more comfortably in your body. Pilates is a method of slow, controlled movements that focus on precision and alignment. It’s not about powering through exercises—it’s about tuning into your body in detail. This makes Pilates ideal for improving performance in everyday life, preventing injuries, and even enhancing performance in elite sports.
We offer four progressive levels to suit every ability and experience level:
Beginners
Our Beginners classes are the perfect starting point for everyone, regardless of fitness level or experience. Here, you’ll learn the fundamental movements of Reformer Pilates, focusing on technique and control to build a solid foundation.
Beginners Plus
Once you’ve gained confidence in the basics, Beginners Plus takes it up a notch. These classes introduce slightly more complex exercises to challenge your strength and coordination while reinforcing proper form.
Improvers
Ready for a greater challenge? Improvers classes are designed for those who have a solid understanding of the basics and want to build strength, mobility, and endurance with more dynamic sequences.
Improvers Plus
Our most advanced level, Improvers Plus, is perfect for experienced Pilates practitioners looking to refine their skills and push their limits. These classes incorporate challenging exercises that demand focus, strength, and control.
Tower Pilates
Tower Pilates is a dynamic, supportive style of Pilates that uses a vertical frame (the Tower) with springs, bars, and straps attached. It blends the control and precision of matwork with the resistance and assistance of springs, making it brilliant for building strength, improving posture, and increasing mobility without high impact.
Because the springs can both support and challenge the body, Tower Pilates is suitable for a wide range of people, from those managing pain or recovering from injury to those looking to deepen their Pilates practice in a more controlled, strength-focused way.
✨ Tower Pilates is currently available exclusively at our Sallins studio.

Pre Natal Pilates
Pregnancy is a time of joy and anticipation, but it can also bring physical challenges. Engaging in exercise during pregnancy is not only safe but highly beneficial for both mom and baby. Here are some specific benefits of Reformer Pilates for pregnant clients:
Improved Core Strength
As your body changes during pregnancy, maintaining core strength becomes vital for stability and support. Reformer Pilates focuses on strengthening the deep abdominal muscles, which helps to support your growing belly and reduce back pain.
Enhanced Posture
As your baby grows, your centre of gravity shifts, often leading to changes in posture. Reformer Pilates emphasizes proper alignment and posture, helping you maintain a strong and stable stance as your body changes.
Pelvic Floor Support
Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles is essential for preventing issues like incontinence and supporting the weight of your growing baby. Reformer Pilates includes exercises specifically designed to target the pelvic floor, promoting strength and stability in this area.
Low-Impact and Gentle
Pregnancy can make high-impact exercises uncomfortable or even risky. Reformer Pilates offers a low-impact workout that is gentle on your joints while still providing a challenging and effective workout.
Mind-Body Connection
Pregnancy can be a time of heightened emotions and stress. Reformer Pilates encourages mindfulness and body awareness, helping you connect with your changing body and find moments of peace and relaxation.
How It Works:
We run a beginners Reformer Pilates Class on a Wednesday at 5pm for expectant Mam’s.
You can buy 8 classes at a time and use them over your pregnancy.
Any classes not used can be redeemed after your baby has arrived – please call us to arrange this.

Post Natal Clinical Pilates
Every postnatal recovery is different. That's why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.Instead of a group postnatal course, we begin with a comprehensive assessment with our CORU Registered Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Gabi.
During your assessment, Gabi will:
• Assess your recovery following pregnancy and birth.
• Screen for abdominal separation (Diastasis Recti), pelvic floor function and core strength.
• Identify any pain, weakness or movement limitations.
• Discuss your goals and previous exercise experience.
• Recommend the most appropriate starting point for your recovery.
Following your assessment, Gabi will advise whether you are ready to join one of our Beginner Reformer Pilates classes or whether you would benefit from a short course of one-to-one Clinical Pilates sessions before progressing into a group class.
Our priority is ensuring you return to exercise safely, confidently and at the right pace for your body.
Clinical Pilates & Health Insurance
Your assessment and one-to-one Clinical Pilates sessions are provided by a CORU Registered Physiotherapist and may be covered under all major Irish health insurance providers, depending on your policy.
Pricing
As everyone’s recovery plan is different, we tailor our recommendations to your individual needs.
Please call us on 01 505 4584 to discuss pricing or to book your Postnatal Clinical Pilates Assessment.

Tower Reformer Pilates
Tower Reformer Pilates is a dynamic combination of the traditional Reformer and the Tower. By adding springs, bars, and straps to the Reformer carriage, the Tower expands the range of exercises you can do — giving you more variety, more challenge, and more support when you need it.
With the Tower, you can:
- Build strength and tone using adjustable spring resistance
- Improve posture and spinal mobility with supportive stretch work
- Train balance and coordination with both assisted and resisted movements
- Add variety to your Pilates practice so no two classes feel the same
Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, Tower Reformer Pilates offers endless options to progress at your own pace. It’s especially loved for its mix of support + challenge — you feel guided and safe, while still working muscles in brand-new ways.
