OUR FAQ’S
-
Our clients often come to us after trying other studios and wanting something different.
They stay because they find:
a more considered pace
clear, supportive instruction
a welcoming, community-focused environment
movement that feels sustainable and aligned with their lifestyle
-
We sit somewhere in between — intentionally.
Our classes are effective and thoughtfully programmed, while also offering a sense of calm and reset. Many of our clients come not just for the physical benefits, but for how they feel when they leave.
It’s movement that fits into your life -not something that takes from it.
-
At Pilates Principles, we take a more considered approach to movement. Our classes are designed to feel calm, intentional and supportive - without the noise, or trend-pressure that can sometimes be experienced elsewhere.
We focus on quality movement, guiding you through each repertoire with precision and care so you can build a sustainable, long-term practice.
-
Not at all.
Pilates Principles is designed for real bodies and real lives. Whether you’re completely new to Pilates, returning after time away, or simply looking for a more supportive environment, our classes meet you where you are.
-
As a boutique Reformer Pilates studio, we intentionally keep class sizes smaller so our instructors can offer hands-on guidance, tailored cues and support throughout your session.
You’re never just another body in the room. However, the classes are still group classes and as such are not personalised to Individual goals.
-
Our studios in Ardross and Claremont are designed to feel calm, welcoming and energising.
We keep our class sizes small (8 pax) to ensure our classes feel more connected and a community-focused experience
Many of our clients tell us it feels like a space where they feel at home.
-
Our classes can be challenging, but not in a rushed or overwhelming way.
Rather than intensity for the sake of it, we focus on depth of movement - creating sessions that feel engaging, strengthening and supportive of your body over time.
It’s a different kind of challenge — one that prioritises how you move, not just how fast.
-
While many Reformer Pilates studios focus on fast transitions and high-intensity workouts, our approach is more refined.
We emphasise:
controlled, purposeful movement
breath-led transitions
alignment and technique
a steady, considered pace
The result is a class that feels both grounding and effective - without the need to rush.
