Return to Life Pilates

Fantastic experience: Pilates at this studio transformed my posture and core strength. Viktoria is incredibly knowledgeable and her classes are both enjoyable and challenging. The atmosphere is so welcoming. You really feel part of a community here. I had no Pilates experience before joining but gained so much confidence in both the mat and reformer classes. I can’t recommend Return to Life enough.

Fantastic experience: I recently was in Cork for a few weeks on business and was SO lucky to find Return to Life Pilates and Viktoria, specifically. I have practiced pilates for years but have been recovering from an injury. I was looking for help to navigate some significant physical challenges, while still promoting strength and flexibility. I could not have been more impressed and pleased with my experience with Viktoria. I was able to take 2 private sessions which proved invaluable both in short term while traveling and long term lessons that I have taken home with me to continue my healing & recovery. It was a truly remarkable experience and gift to find such a dedicated and talented pilates instructor. Viktoria is a gem and I am so grateful for my experience at Return to Life Pilates!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this studio for almost 3 years now, and I just love it. Viktoria and the Return to Life Pilates team are amazing professionals, delivering engaging, fun and effective classes - from beginner to more advanced Pilates practitioners, anybody can feel confident and empowered by their encouragement and expert guidance. If you're looking for a Pilates studio in the heart of Cork city where you'll be seen, supported, and challenged in all the right ways, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending pilate classes at Return to life for just over six months. I can't believe the difference it has made to my overall physical health and fitness levels. My posture, balance and sense of co-ordination seem to have improved considerably. The level of expertise and professionalism demonstrated by the instructors is outstanding. I can not recommend it enough. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I've been doing classes with Viktoria for a few months now and couldn't be happier. Classes have really helped my back pain and overall mobility. Viktoria is engaged to help you improve and really caters to your level

Fantastic experience: I've been doing weekly mat classes for close to 2 years, as I had lower back & shoulder pain from time to time. I love the classes with all the instructors. I recently started some reformer classes & love these too. I find it addictive. The variety of excercise in each class, attention to detail & overall professionalism stand out for me. I have no pain now & enjoy being fitter & stronger, thank you Viktoria, Elaine & Barbara. I highly recommend Return to Life Pilates.

Fantastic experience: I have been enjoying my beginner reformer pilates sessions weekly. Viktoria is a good instructor, very patient & encouraging (which is important for a beginner like me) and also keen in ensuring you are executing the exercises correctly. I feel I have gained some strength since I started. I hope to continue to improve some more this coming new year. ❤️

Fantastic experience: The best Pilates studio in Cork! Victoria and her team are exceptional. Each coach brings a unique approach that constantly challenges and motivates you to improve. They're incredibly caring and supportive, making you feel welcomed and encouraged every step of the way. I've seen amazing progress in my fitness journey thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to build strength, flexibility, and confidence!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending reformer pilates classes with Viktoria and Bárbara at Return To Life Pilates for a year and a half and I couldn't be happier with my experience or recommend them enough!! I started with no experience or fitness level, having never had an exercise that I stuck with. But they have given me a love of pilates and I am committed now! I have felt such an improvement in my strength and fitness, and also mindset. They are excellent instructors - very encouraging, and diligent in correcting my form to make sure I am performing correctly. This is enhanced by the small class size, which gives each student a lot of attention to really improve. The classes are fun and just the right amount of difficult to be really rewarding! The studio is also beautiful and in the centre of Cork city, and the reformer machines are really high quality. I couldn't be more grateful for the gift of reformer pilates that Viktoria and Bárbara have given me and I will continue my improvement! ♥️

Fantastic experience: I did some beginner classes using the reformer machine and I really enjoyed the exercises. Viky expertise made the entire experience enjoyable as she guided us with attention during the session. If you are in Cork looking for pilates classes, this is the go-to place!

Fantastic experience: Vicktoria has been nothing less than life-changing for me and I can't recommend Return to Life Pilates for reformer enough (although I try). Each reformer class has max 3 people which allows Viktoria to tailor it accordingly to everyone's limitations, it's dynamic and really enjoyable. I feel so much stronger, my lower back pain has become a lot more manageable and my posture noticeably better thanks to her knowledge and patience. Best exercise I have ever done! Thanks Vicktoria :)

Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience I had at Return to Life Pilates. As someone who suffered from chronic pain, I was desperately seeking a solution. Thankfully, Vicktoria was the only one who responded to my message, taking the time to understand my concerns and limitations. Her compassionate approach gave me the confidence to embark on this journey. Throughout my time at Return to Life Pilates, Vicktoria was absolute increduble. She guided me every step of the way, showing unwavering support and kindness. Her classes were not only enjoyable but also tailored to my specific needs, always taking my pain into consideration. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I have now become pain-free. :) I firmly believe that Vicktoria played a significant role in my recovery, and I will forever be grateful to her. Her commitment to helping me improve day by day was truly remarkable. If you're looking for a Pilates instructor who genuinely cares about your well-being, I highly recommend Vicktoria and Return to Life Pilates.

Fantastic experience: The place is fantastic, with wonderful reformer and lots of space. My Pilates instructor is super pro and incredibly patient. She's been a game-changer for my progress, paying attention to all the little things that make each session awesome. I really value her dedication and know-how. If you're after a top-notch Pilates instructor who's also chill, she's the one. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Return to Life Pilates has changed me in so many ways, particularly my flexibility and posture. Viktoria takes each of us at our own level, gently and with quiet persistence, encouraging us to stretch ourselves

Fantastic experience: Super instructor who provides a great range of classes, my go to classes are Lunch time express (great way to spend lunch time) and the New Beginner Reformer. Each class is so different, I like the variety of movement, the use of Pilates rings, foam rollers etc, never going to be bored in one of these classes. I recently worked with Viktoria on how to achieve some personal fitness goals, after which I successfully completed the Comeragh Challenge all 22 kms! My overall range of movement has increased as has my confidence in my own physical abilities. Definitely recommending this studio and Viktoria.

Fantastic experience: Viktoria is a very good and sweet teacher. I took two classes there while in Cork and will absolutely recommend you to go there.

Fantastic experience: I started as a beginner in Sept 2022, excellent classes, really good for body of course, but also for mind, would recommend to anyone, especially if you are sitting down a lot during the day.

Fantastic experience: Viky is excellent at what she does and the studio is a lovely space too. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Return to Life Pilates has changed my life as I suffer from Sciatica and over the last 3 months I have worked with Viktoria on areas that reduce my nerve pain. At no time does Viktoria push too hard and always asks while doing one of the many Pilates exercises if I am feeling any back pain. I have no hesitation in recommending the classes and the thorough and professional way that Viktoria teaches the classes. Definitely worth it.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! This is the Pilates studio to go for a personalised experience. The atmosphere is very welcoming and energetic; the exercises can be adjusted according to your needs and Viktoria is always making sure they’re performed correctly. I’ve been attending classes for the past couple of months and the improvement is easily noticeable, but also I have fewer lower back problems and posture has improved. Personally, I like the feel of a smaller class, which allows for supervision and quick corrections. It’s one of my favourite places to be — conveniently located near the city centre, next to a bus stop, and with the Union Quay Car Park close by.

Fantastic experience: I have never practiced pilates in my life and it was great to start with Viky. She is very professional, kind and so passionate about her job! The Studio is so welcoming and every time I finish her lessons I feel really good. I cannot recommend enough Viky and her Studio. You will not regret!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place! Viky is very professional, skilled and passionate about what she does. You will be in very good hands! The studio is also equipped with last technology reformer! I really recommend this studio to everyone

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio in a great location, very close to the city center but not too difficult to park close to the area. Vicky’s classes are great and she is always dedicated and attentive to each one limits and abilities. Either you are a Pilates expert or a novice I would definitely recommend it!
