Studios checked October 2026 · 8 min read
Reformer Pilates has taken off in Dublin, and the city now has everything from all-in-one training clubs with rooftop saunas to small studios in Rathmines where the instructors know every client by name. This guide covers six studios we rate, mostly in Dublin 2 and Dublin 6, with what each is best for and how to book.
Dublin, Ireland
Reformer studios from Dublin 2 to Rathmines and Rathfarnham
6 Studios · Curated & Verified
South William Street, Dublin 2
SAINT Studios is an all-in-one training space on South William Street combining HIIT, spin and reformer Pilates with rooftop recovery facilities, including three saunas and six cold plunges. It quickly became known for its reformer classes, which appear on its timetable as Signature 1 and Signature 2.
Worth knowing: a busy, premium city-centre club; expect a high-energy atmosphere rather than a quiet studio.
5-8 Camden Court, Camden Street Lower, Dublin 2
yogahub runs boutique yoga and reformer Pilates studios across Dublin, including Camden Court off Camden Street and Smithfield. Classes range from hot yoga to Reformer and Sculpt Pilates, and the Camden studio adds a sauna and ice bath. New clients can start with a Reformer Pilates Intro 8 Pack.
Worth knowing: a multi-site brand, so the feel varies a little by location.
29-30 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2
Luuma is a newer Pilates and yoga studio on Fitzwilliam Square South, in the Georgian heart of Dublin 2. Reviewers describe small, intimate classes, and the timetable mixes Pilates such as Tone & Sculpt with yoga flows.
Worth knowing: a small studio, so popular classes book out quickly.
First Floor, 3 Rathmines Road Upper, Dublin 6, D06 N5K3
Monday Studio is a first-floor studio on Rathmines Road Upper offering reformer Pilates, mat Pilates and barre. It is a convenient neighbourhood option for Rathmines and Ranelagh, with a timetable built around reformer classes.
Worth knowing: a neighbourhood studio with a smaller timetable than the big city-centre clubs.
302 Rathmines Road Lower, Dublin 6
Wunderform is a woman-owned contemporary Pilates and movement studio on Rathmines Road Lower. Its barre classes combine ballet, Pilates and strength training in a low-impact format, and the timetable includes Sculpt and Power Barre.
Worth knowing: barre-led rather than reformer-led; choose it for low-impact sculpting rather than machine work.
Unit 11, Grange Road Retail Park, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16
Pilates Performance Ireland runs reformer and mat classes from Grange Road Retail Park in Rathfarnham, with a clear progression from Reformer Beginners to Level 1 and 2. The studio says it has been named best Pilates studio in Ireland by the All Ireland Business Foundation for seven consecutive years.
Worth knowing: it is in the southern suburbs, so it suits locals more than visitors staying in the centre.
Reformer studios have a fixed number of machines, and evening and weekend classes in Dublin 2 and Rathmines fill first. Book as soon as you know your week.
Several Dublin studios offer intro packs for new clients, such as yogahub's Reformer Pilates Intro 8 Pack. They are the cheapest way to find the right fit before committing.
Many Dublin reformer studios list classes on ClassPass, which is handy if you want to sample studios across the city.
Even experienced mat practitioners benefit from a beginner reformer class to learn the springs, straps and footbar safely.
Grip socks are expected at almost every reformer studio. Owning a couple of pairs saves buying them at the desk.
Where to look depending on where you live, work or stay.
South William Street, Camden Street and Fitzwilliam Square cover the full range, from a high-energy training club with rooftop recovery to small Georgian studios. Ideal if you work in the centre.
Dublin 6 has a cluster of neighbourhood studios along Rathmines Road, offering reformer, mat and barre within walking distance of each other.
yogahub's Smithfield studio brings reformer and hot yoga north of the Liffey, a short walk from Stoneybatter.
Larger suburban studios with easier parking and structured reformer programmes, suited to regular locals rather than visitors.
Grip socks are required at most reformer studios in Dublin. These are our recommended picks, all available on Amazon. Affiliate disclosure.
