Pilates Classes Courses Exercises in Dublin – North South West East Dublin and Dublin City Centre
We are restarting our In-Person Pilates and Fitness Classes early/mid July 2020.
During this unprecedented time, we and the local class venues aim to follow the Irish government and health authorities guidelines, in relation to Covid-19, as much as possible to ensure the safety and health of the venue employees, our instructors and our customers, the class participants.
This includes sticking to physical distancing guidelines, offering disinfecting hand gels or liquids in the class venues, regularly sanitising the class venues both before and after group classes or one-to-one coaching sessions. Feel free to wear a facemask when entered, leaving or during the group classes and to bring your own disinfecting gel or liquid.
(1) One the day or prior to the day of a group class:
If a class participant has experienced any of the following in the past 14 days, then we ask them **not to attend**:
Temperature higher than 38 degrees AND / OR
Symptoms of cough or shortness of breath AND one of
Travel to another country of high transmission rate or
Been in contact with somebody experiencing respiratory symptoms in the past 14 days.
Individuals with an underlying health condition or individuals who have been cocooning should only attend group classes if the individual believes that the benefit of attending these group Pilates or fitness classes outweigh the risk of leaving home.
(2) On the day of the group class or one-to-one coaching session:
Class participants are asked to bring their own exercise mat, ideally a towel to remove possible sweat to reduce the possibility of transmission and to help speed up the disinfection process between group classes. Class participants are asked to bring their own face mask, which they can wear during the class if they deem this to be relevant. If not, some community centre and parish centre may supply face masks.
(3) In the class venue (community centre, parish centre, sports hall, etc):
Class times between classes have been spread out so that no two groups of class participants should meet during changeover time. This additional time allows the venue staff to disinfect all relevant surfaces in the class venue.
Hand and arm washing are done by the instructor before and after each class. Hand sanitiser gel is also available for class participants usage in the venue. If possible please avoid using the toilet facilities in the clinic, unless urgent.
We accept the following forms of payment: Credit/Debit card on the website, Online Bank Transfer and cash.
In this Core Strength Video you are going to learn three Progression Core Stability & Core Strength Exercises >>> with a Foam Roller <<< that (1) Strengthen your global abdominal muscles, (2) challenge your waist (exercise no. 2) and lower abdomen (exercise no. 3), (3) focus a bit more on shoulder stability and shoulder placement. . Keep your core muscles, your TVA (Transverse Abdominis) slightly engaged throughout to keep these exercises safe for your lower back. Always consult a GP / physician before starting a new exercises regime, especially if you haven’t exercised for a long time on a regular basis.
(1) Foam Roller – Plank static: ( challenges your general / global core muscles, emphasizes shoulder stability and upper body strength a bit more than a normal straight arm plank) _
Place your hands shoulder distance apart on the foam roller, your palms are below your shoulders. On a breath out straighten one after the other leg, your feet are hip-distance apart.
Maintain a straight line from the top of your head, down to your ankles. Avoid dropping your hip, as this would most likely lead to an over arched lower back / lumbar spine, which would place unnecessary pressure on your lower back.
Keep your shoulders relaxed, draw your shoulder blades down your back towards your bottom.
Maintain a steady, continuous breath, avoid holding your breath.
Hold for 8-10 breath cycles, keep your TVA (Trans Versus Abdominis), your core muscle engaged throughout. Sit w. (2) Foam Roller – Plank & Straight Leg Side Kick) ( same as above, plus additional focus on your waist, “love-handles” 🙂 ) _ This is a “simple” variation of above mentioned Plank exercises. You start with the same set-up as above, but instead of holding the plank position you kick your straight leg from the hip to the side. .
Breath out as you kick your leg to the side, breath in as you switch sides.
The rest of your body stays ideally completely still and stable, you just move from your hip joint. .
Keep alternating sides, legs until you have done a maximum of 10 kick to the right and left.
Increase the number of repetition over time, allow your body to get used the exercise and challenge. .. (3) Foam Roller – Plank plus Knee Pull-In ( same as above, plus additional focus on your lower abdominal muscles / abs )
This is another “simple” 😉 variation of above mentioned Plank exercises. You start with the same set-up as above, but instead of holding the plank position you draw you knee straight underneath your chest and upper-body. The movement is controlled, steady, slow – this will challenge your core muscles more. .
Breath out as you draw one knee or leg in, breath in as you switch sides.
The rest of your body stays ideally completely still and stable, you just move from your hip joint. .
Keep alternating sides, legs until you have done a maximum of 10 kick to the right and left.
Increase the number of repetition gradually over time, allow your body to get used the exercise and challenge. ame as above, just crisscross your arms in front of your chest to intensify the movement..
Let me know how you get on and e-mail or facebook me your questions, comments or feedback.

A quick note for all out daytime – morning fitness class customers – from this week onwards cars parked on double yellow lines within the Nutgrove Office Park will be clamped – fee is €100 😮 – this wasn’t enforced before at least not since we run the Fitnecise Studio here South Dublin, Dublin 14/16.
I saw the first car being clamped a few minutes ago in front of the studio.
There are sufficient parking places available in the Office Park at the moment – just park at any parking bay that has:
1. no silver sign – business name __________or
2. “F1 – Fitnecise Coaching” on it.
Parking for the evening fitness classes will be ok as usual as most of the office workers have left and there a more than lots of parking spaces free.
