I've attended classes with Claire for years and I definitely feel the benefit. Claire is a fantastic teacher, very professional and knowledgeable - but always with a warm welcome and a smile. She offers a variety of classes, including Zoom - there's something for everyone, at all levels of experience. Highly recommended, the best there is!
I have attended Claire's classes in Beauly for many years and over this last year on Zoom. Claire is an excellent teacher. She is very professional, an expert in delivering clear instructios and always conscious of safety. Claire is a warm, friendly, caring person and she always adds interest and a touch of humour to her class. It is a delight to attend Claires classes and I am always the better for it.
I've been attending classes with Claire now for more years than I care to tot up. Lately, via Zoom and before that at mat classes in Beauly and Inverness. Without my weekly Pilates "fix" I reckon I would seize up totally. Claire is a great teacher, always clear in her instructions and is very understanding of our various limitations. Classes are interesting, new routines being dreamt up regularly it seems, so never boring , and the hour session just flashes by. If you are considering taking up Pilates , contact Claire, and give it a go.
Inverness Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
2 of 3 recent reviews mention the instructors in positive terms — words such as "knowledgeable", "attentive" and "encouraging" recur most frequently. Members citing specific cues, form corrections or named instructors is a strong sign of relationship-led teaching rather than transactional class delivery. If instructor depth matters for your decision (particularly for clinical or prenatal-focused pilates), this is a useful positive signal. One recent member put it this way: "Claire is a fantastic teacher, very professional and knowledgeable - but always with a warm welcome and a smile." — Sheila Endersby.
Most UK boutique reformers start newcomers with a beginner-tagged class or a 1-1 intro session rather than dropping them into a mixed-level group. Arrive 10-15 minutes early; you'll be shown carriage adjustment, spring tension and basic safety. Wear grip socks (mandatory at most studios — they sell pairs for £8-15 if you don't have them) and form-fitting clothing that lets the instructor see your alignment. The first class is the steepest learning curve — by your third session, the equipment feels much more intuitive.
