Jess Horgan - Founder, MSc Physio & Pilates Instructor

If you want to practice Pilates knowing you’re in safe hands, look no further.

I grew up with a passion for health and fitness was there from a young age, leading me to study a Bachelor’s degree in nutritional science and also studying to become a personal trainer.. which quickly grew into a passion for Pilates!

The world of Pilates and its use in rehabilitation brought me to building on my Pilates skills and studying a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy. Now with more than 11 years of teaching Pilates and many more qualifications under my belt, I bring an extensive amount of Pilates knowledge and teaching experience to each and every class. As the first few years of my career have been focused on improving the service I provide, there came a time where I decided to combine my expertise with an unforgettable client experience and bringing a new standard of reformer Pilates classes to Cork.. and so, my first reformer studio under The Pilates BEAT brand was born.

After more than three wonderful years in the Ballinlough studio, the time came to move away from Cork for a short while and saying goodbye to The Pilates BEAT Reformer Studio. A bitter-sweet time closing the doors after many amazing memories and the best team and clients.. which led to building The Better Back Method, a solution to the lower back pain cycle I had been helping clients and patients with for years. With over a decade of specialising in lower back pain, along with my own experience and client experiences made for a condensed version of what I have been teaching those with lower back pain for years.

Now, with my focus being on providing education and knowledge online for a while.. the brand is continuing to build and maybe another studio is in the works in the background? You’ll have to wait and see!

I believe that exercise should be enjoyed, and as a true Pilates advocate, she aims to help people discover a way to move in a way that feels GOOD for their body. The Pilates BEAT is all about the physical and mental benefits of exercise. With a focus on mindful movement and self-care, we aim to help you rediscover your me-time and bring you some balance to your busy life. The goal of The Pilates BEAT reformer Pilates is simply to make you feel amazing. To provide you with something that you look forward to doing, something you enjoy throughout and feel even better afterwards!

Giving you a Body, Energy, Attitude Transformation… B.E.A.T!
