I’ve been going to Kate for about 4 years now and she is a fantastic instructor! I first joined to build my strength back up after having a baby and she helped me do just that! I was having zero confidence that I’d be able to get myself back in shape but Kates Pilates class was perfect and she helped me trust that I would get there! Kate always makes sure we all know what we are doing properly so we can get what we need from Pilates and see/feel the results, whether it’s recovering from injuries or to strengthen & tone! I was keen to continue with Pilates while pregnant with my 2nd child then, and Kate was so helpful in adjusting the moves for me all throughout, which allowed me to return with ease again postpartum! I try to never miss one of Kates classes because going each week motivates me more to always stick with it as I can feel my core strength improving every week! Any general aches, pains, stiffness I might have during the week also, I always feel better after the class as I now know a good stretch for nearly everywhere thanks to Kate!

  Kate is such a skilled, knowledgeable, patient and kind instructor. She puts you instantly at ease, whatever your level of fitness or ability, and her classes are always highly enjoyable yet challenging. I have seen immense improvements in my core strength and have experienced relief of my back pain. I really can’t recommend Kate’s classes highly enough.

I’ve been with kate about 5 years now. Kates class has helped me work through tendinitis, bursitis and recovery from surgery. My strength and toning is at its best in years. My joint pain is so settled, i’m saving a fortune in both medication and physio. I can recommend kate highly enough…shes professional, thorough and her class is highly entertaining around topics of health only this group could laugh about🤣. The class takes you out of your head and away from your pain.

Kate’s Pilates Class has been an essential part of improving my core strength and fitness levels over the past two years. I first signed up on the recommendation of my chiropractor due to ongoing back issues – at age 50 it was time to fix it. I had no core strength at all but that has all changed thanks to Kate and the Thursday gang. My back is so much better and stronger now. Kate teaches in a very easy to understand manner, always ensuring that everyone is exercising in a safe and correct manner. This is so important and Kate takes her responsibility very seriously. But that is the only serious part of her class. The atmosphere is infectious and I have made some good pals in her class, including Kate herself. Since our changed world, Kate has seamlessly moved her classes to Zoom which works very well – and we all dial in a few minutes early for social chats before working hard and feeling great afterwards. Kate goes above and beyond to take care of her team members by suggesting edits to the exercise tailored to any injuries we may be currently carrying. Safety is clearly paramount for her during her teaching. Since joining Kate’s class I have become much fitter and leaner too. I feel so much more energised, allowing me to walk for longer, always with Kate’s voice in my head reminding me to pull in my abs! To me, Kate’s Pilates is not a class, it is a way of life and a gang of mates across all ages.

I have been attending Stott Pilates classes with Kate for 9 months now. I do 2 classes per week and it has totally changed my quality of life. I suffered terribly with my neck pain beforehand and now I only have the odd day when I’m slightly sore. I was even able to give up on pain injections. My waist shape, my core strength, my posture and how I move have all improved. I was able to start running again so I can exercise even more than Pilates by itself. Kate is an amazing instructor and really cares about her students. Her classes are very safe. There is no pressure whilst she also spurs you along to do the best you can. Since Covid 19 I have continued my classes via ZOOM. Everyone can stay safe while still accessing a proper class. I actually find these great as there is no travel time/babysitter needed.

I have been attending Kate’s classes for almost 2 years and have no plans to change this arrangement any time soon! I really look forward to my class each week. Kate is so supportive and encouraging and her instructions are clear, specific, and easy to follow. She is professional and committed to all her students. At the same time she is fun and the classes have a relaxed atmosphere. The transition to Zoom classes was exceptionally smooth and I love the flexibility of being able to do my class wherever I am.

I would highly recommend Kate. I’ve been doing pilates for a year with Kate. She made me feel so welcome to the class and we clicked straight away due to Kate’s lovely happy smiling personality. She is an amazing teacher. Her classes are friendly and fun. Pilates really helps to keep me strong and keep injuries at bay. It is also great to help lose weight but also one of the huge benefits to Pilates is de-stressing. The deep breathing and concentration is great for settling your mind which always helps in turn with sleep, my energy/ fitness levels are so much better when I’m doing Pilates. The zoom classes have been a godsend during lock down. I really enjoy them and so does my lovely big black lab who likes to sit and watch when I’m doing class. The zoom class is perfect also if people are unable to leave kids in the house and there is never any pressure on anybody if people need to nip out or kids/dogs feel the need to have a peek into the class. I’m so delighted to have met Kate and to be a part of her amazing class 5/ 5 stars in every area possible.

I have been attending Kate’s pilates classes for over eighteen months now and they are truly a God-send. I have joined Kate’s classes both in Rua Red in Tallaght and also in the Community Centre in Firhouse and more recently have participated in the Zoom classes (up to three times per week!). Kate is an excellent teacher and the classes have translated really well to Zoom. Kate is great at focusing on particular areas of concern and always happy to receive suggestions from the class – her classes are always fun and interactive and she is always upbeat and positive. Personally, pilates is a really important part of my routine. I have suffered from neck and upper back pain and due to working at a desk all day I really notice if I miss my weekly class. Attending the classes on-line during Covid-times has also been a much-needed mental / mood booster and has provided some much needed structure to the weeks. Well done Kate – I am really looking forward to continuing pilates with you in 2021 and thanks for keeping us all sane, fitter and leaner in 2020!

  Kate’s classes have been a lifesaver through COVID! They have become firm fixtures in my week, helping me to destress, stay mobile & unwind. Kate’s gentle manner & clear instructions bring you gently through each movement with a strong emphasis on listening to your body. The online classes are so convenient & flexible there is no excuse!

I have attended a number of Pilates Classes with Kate and more recently the classes have been on Zoom, which are just as good as physically attending a class. Kate is a very professional and friendly teacher. Her classes are structured to suit all stages of fitness and she is very tuned into what each person is capable of achieving. Pilates has increased my overall fitness and strength and because each class is made up of varied exercises which target different muscles in the body, you always feel you have had a good workout. Kate is always interested in feedback and classes are fun and varied. I would highly recommend Kate’s classes if you want to increase flexibility and your overall strength and fitness.

I have been doing pilates with Kate for about 18 months and haven taken part in previous pilates classes, Kate’s are by far the best. Her attention to detail on each and every person in the class is top notch, she will work with you in relation to any areas that you need to take care of or work on while doing the class. I have found that my back which I have had previous issues with is so much stronger and doesn’t give me as much trouble now as it did before starting the classes. There are a mix of ages, gender and fitness levels in the classes and there are always a few laughs, during the lockdown period classes started via zoom which has been a great success and so well run and managed by the ever patient Kate , I would, and have highly recommend Kate’s classes to everyone.

I joined Kate’s Thursday class in June 2019. I love my Pilates class, not always feeling like I have the energy for it, but do it & always feel a lot better after it. Kate covers exercise for the entire body. You can take the class at your own pace or keep up with her & push yourself, feeling the benefits & a sense of achievement when you’re finished. Exercising on my own I just wouldn’t push myself like that. Due to Covid Kate is running her classes online through Zoom, which is working out great. She watches us (corrects & encourages) as we go through the class, you can see & hear Kate very clearly. Zoom has another benefit, if we can’t attend on our particular night, Kate facilitates us by adding us into another class, so we don’t miss out. Kate is a lovely person, upbeat which is great to have in our class.

I started Pilates over a year ago doing 1 or 2 or classes a week. As a result, I feel better both physically and mentally, and notice changes in my strength, flexibility, and posture. The transition from studio classes via zoom over the past 6 months has been seamless. The instruction from Kate has been so clear that it feels like she is still in the room with you. I look forward to the warm welcome and great encouragement during each class. I never tire of the classes as each class is different and works different parts of the body. I praise Pilates by Kate for continuing to provide such high-quality classes during these challenging times.

Kate started Pilates classes in Newlands Golf Club in January 2019 and we are delighted that she has stayed the course with us. It was originally thought that the classes would be about golf fitness and core strength. The classes proved to be that and more, Kate is so knowledgeable about each part of the body that we know we are in safe hands. We are all really feeling the benefits, developing strength in mind and body. Since the middle of March 2020 we have continued with our classes online and the transition has been seamless. The instructions from Kate have been so clear that it feels like Kate is beside me! We have lived through some very challenging times over the last few months so I was absolutely delighted that Kate was able to continue our classes online.
