About Us

Shape N Tone Pilates is a small company run by myself. When I was teaching fitness and studying various disciplines of exercise classes and Personal Training, I undertook research about exercise and the body systems and I discovered Pilates. The Joseph Pilates Method of exercises known as movements intrigued me. I studied and completed my training and achieved various qualifications in teaching Pilates, and I have been taking classes for many years. I continued my studies of Pilates and I was very lucky to also become a Tutor/Lecturer, Assessor and an Internal Verifier, teaching others to become qualified as Pilates Teachers. 

My passion is meeting and working with people and supporting them to become fitter and healthier and be part of a group as a social network as well as exercising. Over the past seven years I have been taking various group fitness classes in Rostrevor, Kilkeel, Warrenpoint and Newry, in which individuals attend and feel the benefits of working with others as part of a team and build a social aspect whilst exercising.

I love working directly with people, and want to cater to each individual as much as possible helping them fulfill their goals. As a professional trainer, I have worked and trained, footbal teams and various individuals to achieve marathons, weight loss management, muscle building, rehabilitation and back strengthening. I have been on the judging panel of the NIFMA 2011 (Northern Ireland Fitness Model Association) event.

I enjoy the buzz of exercise, motivating others, assisting and devising various exercise sessions and routines, promoting enjoyment a healthy lifestyle and help my clients reach their goals and aims as well as keeping myself fit.
