Classical Pilates isn’t a trend — and neither is the reformer.
We’ve been teaching on the classical reformer in Troon for over 20 years, long before the new “reformer studios” appeared. The difference is simple:
We teach the full classical system — strength, stretch, control — not just one part of it.
That’s why our clients feel stronger, stand taller, and move better, fast.
Whether you’re active, sitting at a desk, training hard, or just feeling a bit tight…
This is your sign to start.

Saturday 10.00 a.m.

There are so many classes and gyms named “Pilates”’ - how can you tell the difference?

Firstly, visit the studio and chat with the teachers. Look at what apparatus is there. 6 plus reformers/towers and no other equipment- it’s a reformer studio.
No large apparatus at all - could be based or something else. Training for “pilates” can be short, often online with no prior knowledge required.

A Pilates Teacher in a full Pilates studio is a specialist teacher (Comprehensive Pilates) who has trained for at least 12 months to get their “P”plates and continues education in Pilates throughout their career. Often they have been students of Pilates for years before becoming teachers. At Classical Pilates UK all our teachers are Comprehensive Pilates specialists with a minimum of 10 years Pilates experience. We train the Comprehensive teachers of the future
If you are looking for the best in Pilates or have been recommended to try Pilates by a medical professional, come up and see us at 9 Church Street Troon . We offer exercise referral packages.

Classical Pilates UK has been offering teacher training at our premises in Troon Scotland since 2005. In 2015 we started our own programme based on traditional apprentice style methods. No flashy manuals, no mass social media posts, and no mass marketing for crowded courses.
We like nothing better than seeing our student teachers start as excited new learners, watch as they deepen their understanding and skills, relish the "Aha" moments, guide them when learning and practice is tough, permit them to take their time to breathe and develop into a competent teacher.
One of our overriding aims is that we want our students to achieve beyond us - as any good parent wants for their kids. Most students keep in touch in various ways a check in, a chat, a question - our door is always open to former students who value the method and have integrity in life and practice.
One of those students is the awesome Angela Green Classical Pilates who started with us back in 2018 completing in late 2020 as lockdown permitted. She was driven, detailed and determined. Angela went on to bridge to the New York Pilates Teacher Training programme as Don, Director of Classical Pilates UK did before her.
It has been great to watch Angela build and grow her business during lockdown, into a home studio and now the dedicated studio in Pontypridd. We wish you every success Angela in growing and building your already successful business. Our door is always open.

YOU'LL FIND THE LARGEST MOST FULLY EQUIPPED CLASSICAL PILATES STUDIO IN WALES IN THE HEART OF PONTYPRIDD TOWN CENTRE 💚
Just leaving work after my first month of my Pilates Studio being open downstairs at 😀 It's been a great month of welcoming new people & having my existing students venture in & compliment how they love the new bigger studio space! I teach the full Authentic Pilates Method in here; private lessons for ones & two's, a full timetable of Group Pilates Sessions to include; Apparatus Classes (Reformer, Tower, Chairs & Barrels) for up to 4 people, Barrel Classes for up to 8 people & Mat Classes for up to 10 people, with 2 Classes offered as Hybrid delivery with both Zoom & In-person spaces. Beginners are welcome to my studio... i'm so pleased that I have attracted conscientious clients with most wanting to take private lessons first to build their confidence & foundation with the view to joining groups thereafter. More group classes will be added as confidence grows 😀 Group Classes are cost effective & once you know the basics of what you're doing you'll be flying 😀
