Alternative Fitness Courses

Pilates
Pilates offers a whole body work out that will challenge you like no other exercise program. Pilates is unique in that it systematically exercises all the muscle groups in your body, the weak as well as the strong. Consisting of mat based exercises, it combines the focus on suppleness that you find in yoga with the emphasis on strength building found in the gym.

Tuesdays 8pm - 9pm

Next course starts Tuesday 22nd. January 2008.

Cost €80 for 10 week course or alternatively pay €12 per week, subject to availability. Early booking advisable.
