Pilates Class / John Higgins
In preparation for the inevitable New Year’s resolutions, I just wanted to let you know (or remind you if you’ve been before!) about the exercise classes that we plan to run in ESB Head Office starting from Monday the 16th. The classes will run in batches of 6 weeks and the cost will be 35 Euro.
I’m responsible for organising a number of other classes (Circuits, Boot Camp and Pilates) in ESB. Please see the Gateway timetable. If you’re over in Gateway on a Wednesday please feel free to try a class.
It’s a great way to get fit (or stay fit), and the classes are designed to suit all levels of fitness.
