Tipp hurling legend and his wife Aoife Hannon are looking to expand their already successful business The Pilates Programme.

The online businesses which the couple co-founded almost four years ago, has grown from strength to strength with live online classes delivered by Aoife who is a qualified physiotherapist.

With over 23,000 followers online, the business has always been a passion of Aoife's, who has always loved to find different ways to keep fit.

This passion saw her completing a degree in Sport and Excercise Science at UL where she then went on to complete an MSc in Physiotherapy.

She then spent 4 years working as a Physiotherapist in an acute hospital and in a rehab setting.
