The Pilates Programme 4+

I started the Pilates program in 2nd trimester of my pregnancy, having not done a whole lot of Pilates exercises prior. I wanted to keep up some form of exercise that I could do from the comfort of my own home, that wasn’t too strenuous and to ultimately help with my labour. Aoife’s classes are easy to follow and it is almost as if she is in the same room guiding us through the exercises. The exercises were highly adaptable for all trimesters, and there are several exercises with modifications to choose from depending on one’s energy levels throughout pregnancy. I particularly found the birth prep classes were of benefit for third trimester. Now that I am postpartum, I am throughly enjoying Aoife’s postnatal program and pelvic floor exercises. Again these are easily done from home, which is perfect for a new mom who finds it difficult to get out of the house. TPP allows for some gentle daily movement which I love! Overall TPP has been a highly worthwhile monthly investment and I would highly recommend :) well done Aoife on creating an incredible app!!

I signed up to TPP to keep fit during my pregnancy and having played ladies Gaelic for a long time and done a lot of running I thought the different classes would be ‘very doable’ but I find some of the classes I have done challenging both cardio and strength wise which I really enjoy as used to tough training. I am working my way through the 4 week prenatal programme at the moment but hope to incorporate some of the other classes to further challenge me and keep my fitness up. Classes are really well timed and you definitely get a work out no matter how long the class lasts. Looking forward to trying more classes.

Have been a TPP member since it started and love how convenient the programme is. It can be adapted to suit even the busiest lifestyle. Aoife’s instruction style is so clear and easy to follow you could do it with your eyes closed! The app has been a game changer for me. I was on holidays recently and just downloaded my favourite classes so no need for Wi-Fi while away. It was just a dream. I love the variety of classes TPP offers so even if you’re having an off day and don’t fancy pushing yourself there’s a class to suit and you always feel so good after no matter what class you do!
