Pinehill Studios are about to launch a new ‘Be Kind To Your Mind’ Piloxing programme for adults on Monday 7th January. Rachel from Donegal Daily joined a class at the studio to find out what that means – and to experience the fun of it!
It’s hard to think about anything else when you’re in a Piloxing class. The beats are blaring, your heart is racing and you’re thinking about the moves – you’re not thinking about emails, appointments, or everyday worries.
Piloxing is a non-stop dance-based exercise class that blends boxing with standing pilates. You don’t have to be able to dance (I should know), and if you’re moving at all, then you’re doing it right.
Piloxing has expanded into a number of different workouts. At Pinehill Studios, they offer classes in Piloxing SSP, Piloxing Knockout and THE MIX by Piloxing.
Piloxing at Pinehill Studios
Sarah-Marie McDevitt at Pinehill Studios has designed the perfect way for adults to mix and match weekly Piloxing classes over the month.
The new ‘Be Kind To Your Mind’ means that you pay for a block of one, two or unlimited classes per week and you can join any of the evening classes between Monday and Thursday.
In this way, people with busy lives and families can pop in on a day that suits and never miss their workout. If you go unlimited, the classes work out at just over €3 each.
Sarah-Marie explains: “I never promote my classes as being for weight loss. They are fun, inclusive, non-intimidating and non-competitive. When you are dancing you are switched off from everything else. This is your ‘me-time’ and it’s so important for your mental health.”
The classes may not be all about serious fitness, but they really pack a punch.
In regular SSP and Knockout classes we wear 250g weighted gloves to build arm strength.
THE MIX is glove-free and all about the dancing. I joined this session last week for a taster.
THE MIX is the newest addition to the Piloxing world. It combines fast and slow-paced pop and hip-hop songs for a 45 minute class where your mind and body are completely engaged.
Most of all, Sarah-Marie makes it great craic and brings everyone together to let go and enjoy the music.
You’re guaranteed to leave a Piloxing class with a smile on your face, and a little sweaty!
If you struggle to commit to a gym membership or to do a 1 hour workout on your own, then the ‘Be Kind To Your Mind’ block of classes is a great option to ensure you’re keeping up with your exercise throughout the week.
New classes begin Monday 7th January and continue weekly throughout the year. Make 2019 the year you create healthy habits for you & your family, dedicate some me-time and feel great.

1 class a week – €30
