Welcome
About Stay Strong Pilates
Hi, my name is Kelley Harrington and I set up Stay Strong Pilates in 2020. Having practised Pilates for years, I finally bit the bullet and left my old life as a (stressed out!) solicitor and retrained as a Pilates instructor with the National Training Centre in Dublin. It was the number one best decision I could have made! Since then I have devoted my time to teaching group and one-to-one classes. My aim is for everyone to leave my classes feeling strong, motivated and energised. I look forward to seeing you on the mat!

Kelley’s face-to-face and online classes have a full body focus working to improve posture, core and muscle strength, muscle flexibility, joint mobility, balance and coordination. Modifications and progressions will be offered for each exercise allowing you to tailor the class to suit your own strength and ability. The class will start with a standing warm-up before taking it down to the mat. The class will end with some stretching to gently wind-down the body after the work-out.
