Want to Progress Further at TDR?

If you are already doing classes at TDR and want to do more, as more movement more frequently brings quicker and greater benefits - contact me (text or email) and I can get it set up for you and amend your current membership package to 2 or more classes per week. The more classes you do, the more the reduction in cost per class applies.


Pilates Reformer

  • 1:1 and 2:1 sessions are available on the Pilates Reformer.

  • Sessions can be booked as a 1 hour appointment.

The reformer is gaining even more notoriety in NI from when i first started teaching with it in 2014, despite being prolific around the world.


It is an amazing piece of equipment when used correctly which will work your body in an informative way, offering you assistance and challenges with resistance as needed to help you achieve the movements with good alignment.

Areas that need further strength and mobility can be identified from the feedback that working on the machine gives you.

I have 2 reformers at the studio, so you can book a 1:1 or a 2:1 and we can build your body up and challenge you in a supportive way to move better. It will leave you a bit shakey as it challenges the smaller muscles alongside the bigger ones - so you will feel a significant positive effect.

Pilates Equipment Studio


Are you having issues in your body, whether injuries or just through lack of movement or issues developing from strength imbalances or tightnesses in joints and muscles, and you want to start to move better and don’t know where to start?

I can assess you and create a specific plan to develop your body in the ways needed to really feel like a better version of yourself.

The large equipment in Pilates can offer a new and bespoke way of challenging exactly where your body needs it - ultimately to get you back to yourself, and a more improved version!

Within the Studio, there is a:

  • Pilates Reformer,

  • Springboard,

  • Wunda Chair,

  • Ladder Barrel,

  • Spine Corrector

  • and other small equipment.


Each piece of equipment brings its own repertoire of movements aimed at progressing and developing your body with support as needed or resistance to help you develop the body and feel the challenge.

Want to Book In?

  • Book a 1:1 appointment with me and we can get you assessed and started into a personalised program.

  • 6 x 1 hour sessions are recommended to progress through the program (a week apart in an ideal world), or for 3 x 1 hour.

  • Home exercises will also be provided to help you further develop and progress.
