Helping Corkonians feel better since 2008, see our reviews here

I attended the Movement Revolution class with in the Clayton hotel with Patrick as I had started to develop lower back pains/strains...

I found the class extremely beneficial. All the movements were explained very well as to how to them and why we were doing them. The class touched on strength training, flexibility and mobility along with a few practical yoga flows....

Patrick was able to provide corrective feedback very quickly and was always enthusiastic and encouraged you to progress. I found this class perfect as it not only addressed my back issues but also engaged all the muscles around my back so I felt noticeably stronger and flexible in general after a few weeks. The mobility exercises were always fun and the atmosphere of the class was friendly and informal.

The class was a perfect balance of being just challenging enough but at the same time it flew by each week. Which is a good sign. After being inactive for 12 months I feel as though this class was the perfect springboard to getting me back on track as it helped establish a very solid foundation. Would highly recommend, especially to any new fathers.

I took the APC Thursday class in The Clayton each Thursday and I would thoroughly recommend it. I am at my desk during my working day and these classes were really valuable. They incorporate Pilates, Strength Work and Flow. They go at a really nice pace and the environment is very relaxed. The leader of the class is very thoughtful in his approach and explains each exercise and what part of the body it impacts. Nice bunch of people in the class also.

David Owens

I really enjoyed pilates classes, Patrick really loves his job and knows a lot about the different muscles etc. I will most likely join again next year 🙂

Elena Infante Rodriguez

Great trainer, very engaging. Classes are also very active and effective. Would definitely recommend to people looking to increase their flexibility.
