Island misses out on one Pilates world record, breaks another

Monday, 20 July 2026 06:59

The Island missed out on breaking the record for the world's biggest Pilates class, but did break a separate record.

The world record for the largest class stands at 3,486, while around 2,800 took part in the attempt at Knockaloe Farm in Patrick on Sunday, July 19.

However, the thousands gathered at the wellness festival did manage to break the record for the most people simultaneously performing a standing rollout exercise.

The two attempts were adjudicated by visiting officials from the Guinness Book of World Records.
