Pilates Performance Ireland

Starting the Pilates Movement in Ireland

In 2011, Sarah MacLachlann and Paul Hickey opened their first studio Pilates Performance in Ireland.

Sarah knew that by opening a studio in a property that had 3 rooms and was too big for her to manage on her own, she would need staff and systems to support bookings and multiple classes.

An engine for growth

Sarah notes that the biggest benefit she gets from Mindbody the cost-savings she gets from decreasing the reception desk hours from full-time to a couple of hours and evenings a week.

As Pilates Performance grew, Sarah added more Mindbody products to support her growing needs, like a branded app and branded web tools. These tools allow clients to self-manage their accounts and book classes online, as opposed to calling the studio.

At their studio, Sarah and Paul also see over 200 students per year becoming certified Pilates teachers through their unique Teacher Training Mentorship Programme.
