About Kwor
Welcome to Kwor Pilates
based in London and led by Grainne Kearney.
With over 14 years of experience as a classically trained Pilates Instructor Grainne offers expert Mat and Reformer sessions tailored for small groups, private 1-2-1 sessions and corporate wellness programs.
Grainne's background started at the age of 7 years old at Sylvia Youngs prestigious school of theatre & dance and continued her journey into Performance and art where she studied at the International School of Circus & Performance Arts where she achieved a BA Honours distinction.
This is where her Pilates journey began.
Pilates was "life changing and body transforming" which was critical for her rehabilitation after a gruelling & physically demanding training program.
After years of performing professionally, she decided to become a Pilates Instructor.
Grainne's diverse background enriches her teaching approach making each session not only beneficial, but also engaging and enjoyable.
Over the years since Kwor Pilates was born, she has formed an extensive client base and along the way connected with a small team of equally passionate, fully accredited certified pilates instructors and wellness professionals.

The Benefits of Pilates
Clients and Testimonials
.jpeg)
I have been attending Grainne’s class for around 2 years (or is it longer..?!) and really have seen the benefits in terms of overall strength and posture. Grainne provides individual care and attention where required, keeps the class interesting and fun whilst still pushing us to reach optimal performance.
If you are looking for an interesting and varied class to tone and strengthen, I would highly recommend Kwor Pilates!
Rachel Carrington
I've been attending Pilates sessions with Grainne for a couple of years and I'm very happy with her classes. This is no bootcamp (thankfully), but sessions are always challenging and varied, often introducing various equipment to keep things interesting. Grainne takes us through the difficulty levels with clear instructions and allows us to find our own level. As a 50+ woman with MS, I feel very comfortable and not in the least bit intimidated in her classes, and the small class size ensures individual attention when required.
She is always cheerful and light hearted and is truly a joy. And she's not even paying me to say that.
Jane Chandler
Grainne is delightful, so as soon as you arrive at the class you are cheered up, and it all goes with a swing.
She is absolutely professional so each person is asked, on arrival, if they have any problems or injuries, and if so each is told not to do particular exercises, or to adapt them in a certain way. During the class each student is reminded how to do /change the particular exercise to avoid any problems. At the beginning of the next class Grainne will remember each problem/ injury, and ask if the student is better.
During the class, Grainne will seek to ensure that each of the students is doing the exercise correctly, and will assist them individually if not. She is very careful to check that no-one is risking injury while working.
Karolyn Farmer
I have been attending Grainne’s Pilates classes for three years at my local gym. She is a very competent and knowledgeable teacher, assessing each student’s needs and advising accordingly. She closely monitors the class, missing nothing, quietly adjusting posture or giving individual directions. Above all she’s motivating and good fun and the hour seems to fly by. Which I can’t say about an hour on my own in the gym or working out at home! I can thoroughly recommend Grainne as a great teacher and a breath of fresh air.
