My anchor has always been body movement and I love meeting people who do not know how or what to do - this has been my real breakthrough. Working with people with challenges (everyone!) whether mental or physical - is my real passion. What works for one client won’t suit another - we are complex individuals and the one size fits all doesn’t work - so I spend a lot of time getting to know people and working within their limitations and expectations. …….

Not All Pilates Studios Are Created Equal

Most studios chase trends—loud music, athletic reformer, Instagram-worthy poses. We don't.

At The PilateScene, you'll find classical Pilates in its purest form, rooted in Joe and Clara Pilates' original method—with a contemporary twist when it serves your body.

Here's what that means for you:

✅ Small classes (max 9/11 people) – You're not a number. Every session is tailored to your body, your limitations, your goals.

✅ No music, no distractions – Just mindful, curated movement that retrains your body to move with control and confidence.

✅ Specialized expertise – Whether you're managing osteoporosis, navigating pregnancy, or starting from scratch, we meet you where you are.

✅ Top-tier equipment – Merrithew reformers, towers, and wunda chairs—the gold standard in Pilates apparatus.

✅ Taught by certified instructors – Every teacher is classically trained by Suzie herself through our accredited Teacher Training school.

This isn't fitness. It's rehabilitation. It's returning to health.

Meet Suzie

20+ Years. Two Studios. One Mission.

Hi, I'm Suzie. I've been teaching Pilates in Galway for over 20 years—long before reformer classes were trendy.

I started in a shed with a concrete floor. Now I run two studios (Clarinbridge and Briarhill), train Pilates teachers across Ireland, and host the Irish Pilates Convention.

But here's what matters most:

I love working with people who don't know where to start. The ones with back pain, tight hamstrings, pelvic floor issues, or bodies that feel like they've forgotten how to move. My breakthrough has always been this: What works for one person won't work for another. We're complex. One-size-fits-all doesn't cut it. So I spend time getting to know you—your limitations, your expectations, your body. Then we build a program that works for you.

Whether you're 23 or 80, a beginner or a seasoned mover, pregnant or managing osteoporosis—you belong here.

What Clients Say…

Thanks Lisa….
”Suzie came highly recommended by a close friend who I had confided in. She was everything that I needed. Suzie is not only good at teaching pilates but she connects with the fear and the reluctance. Physically I improved my deportment and found my body in shapes I would not have believed possible, for me. Suzie is an excellent teacher with a huge heart.”

Thanks Yayoi……

“I have been attending for a year now and I love it. All staff are lovel, facilities are very clean and I really enjoy it. I always had back pain but it has disappeared ever since starting Pilates with the Pilatescene. “
