CARRIE CURLEY Pilates Instructor & Personal Trainer.                                                Carrie is a graduate of Athlone Institute of Technology; she holds a degree in Toxicology. While she enjoyed studying the sciences, she soon learned that a career in science was not for her.

Being naturally good with people she was drawn to the hospitality sector. Her talents were rapidly recognised and rewarded with roles of responsibility. The flexibility of this industry has enabled her to pursue a variety of courses and qualifications over the years. Most recently she trained in University College Dublin, Sport & Fitness where she qualified as a Pilates Teacher and a Personal Trainer.

Her passion for Pilates was fuelled out of necessity. She suffered frequent injuries as a result of her running and attended the local Physiotherapist to aid her recovery. It was her Physiotherapist who suggested that Carrie attend her Pilates classes. The more she practised Pilates under the nurturing eye of her instructor, the more it captivated her interest. She realised that she wanted to share this enthusiasm and passion with others and a new career was formed. She is patient in her approach to teaching Pilates and gets the best from her students; she insists they start slowly and work at their own pace. She promotes “Pilates is a Lifestyle choice”, not merely a weekly fitness class to attend. She is looking forward to encouraging the best in you.  Carrie teaches several classes in Naas, Staplestown and 1:1 sessions in Prosperous, Co Kildare.
