About Us

Founded in 2022, Excel Pilates is a mother & daughter duo, bringing the magic of Pilates home.

Alongside a career in Tech, Eimear trained as a Pilates instructor with Balanced Body and as a personal trainer in 2016 after experiencing the wonderful benefits of pilates over the previous 6 years, which negated the aches and pains that came hand in hand with her desk job.

Since then, she has continued her learning, and has completed further courses in both Mat & Reformer Pilates, Pilates for Women’s Health (focusing on the Pelvic Floor, Menopause and Pre/Post natal), Pilates for Kids and Mindfulness.

When Eimear returned to her native Donegal during the pandemic she brought with her that magic of Pilates, delivering classes to her friends and family initially and eventually delivering classes in the local community.

Demand grew quickly, and so, in March 2022, Excel Pilates was born!

In 2023, Sally gained her qualification as a Pilates Instructor and joined as the lead instructor, allowing us to expand our class timetable and bring that magic of Pilates to more and more people!

Our favourite part of the job? Hearing feedback from our members that see and feel improvements in themselves - whether it be touching their toes or moving pain-free for the first time - and celebrating with them!
