“ I’ve been taking Pilates classes with Eilish for years and no two classes are alike. I love the variety and challenge of each new class and how inclusive it is, regardless of your fitness level, age or ability. ”
Eilish graduated with an honours degree in Physiotherapy from Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen in 2010. There were very few employment opportunities in Ireland for physiotherapists at the time and Eilish moved to Bristol where she worked as a physiotherapist in a health clinic, it was here she developed an interest in Pilates.
After two years in Bristol Eilish returned to her home town of Cork where she began working as a physiotherapist in a clinic in Ballincollig, and started teaching Physio Pilates classes in Cork. What started off as a small venture, one class a week in the waiting area of the clinic developed into six successful classes over three different locations around Cork city and county.
I find these classes really beneficial for lower back pain and general shoulder and upper back tension. The classes are varied so you don’t get bored and Eilish explains how particular exercises affect different muscles which I find really interesting. The exercises are graded so you can work at a level that suits you. The zoom classes etc can be watched again so great value for money. Eilish was great for keeping everything going during lockdown with online classes, starting off with youtube videos and then zoom and Facebook. Eilish is very professional but also somehow manages to be very patient and cheerful!
I have been doing Pilates with Eilish for the past six years and I just love her classes. Her love/ passion for Pilates is so evident in each class as she strives to make each class different, so never gets monotonous or boring. Eilish is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable and professional in her approach, gives the rationale for each exercise being undertaken and gives clear instruction on how far to go with progressing each exercise. I always leave her classes with a feel-good feeling.
I have been doing Pilates with Eilish for the last 4 yrs. After years of having a sore back I started pilates with Eilish and haven’t looked back since. It has made a huge difference to the quality of my life. No Pain! If I ever do have a problem Eilish gives me specific exercises for that area and that sorts me out. I find Eilish very personable and extremely professional at all times. I personally have benefited hugely from her classes and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

“I have been attending Eilish’s Classes the last three years and I love them. Each week there is a new pilates move which makes the class more varied. When I first started my neck was tight and I couldn’t stretch my hands to my toes,due to my scoliosis. Eilish’s classes have helped me feel looser around my neck area as well as help me stretch closer to my toes due to more flexibility on my lower back.
I honestly couldn’t imagine myself attending another Pilatees Teacher. Eilish is a true expert in the field of Physio and Pilates.”
