Meet The Team
Charlann Battle
Charlann began her health and fitness journey in the UK 25 years ago, leaving school with a clear vision to make a significant impact in the industry. She first studied Health and Fitness and Leisure Management, then gained valuable experience working with some of the largest health clubs in Scotland. This foundation not only taught her about the industry but also, and more importantly, about the people within it—YOU! She learned what you wanted and needed to succeed. Realising that it was the people who motivated her, she decided to open a studio where clients and employees were the number one priority and so her vision grew of fostering a supportive and motivating environment for everyone involved. She opened the doors to her first studio in Scotland, navigating through a journey of ups and downs, learning as she went. Eventually, she moved to Australia and opened her first "Aussie Studio" Spirit Pilates where she hopes that you can 100% feel her vision as soon as you walk through the doors. Thank you for coming to our studio xx

Marjorie Julien
Marjorie’s love for sport began at just three years old, with a passion for gymnastics and trampoline that led her to compete on the French National team. Her dedication paid off when she became the French Champion, representing her country at the Junior European Championships and the World Championships by age group. She shone in the synchronized event, winning a silver medal, and placed 5th in the individual event.
After years as an elite athlete, Marjorie took her skills to the Cirque du Soleil as a professional trampolinist. However, due to an unfortunate ankle injury, she had to bid farewell to her circus career.
Pilates became a lifeline for Marjorie, aiding her recovery and reigniting her passion for movement. Inspired by its transformative power, she decided to train as a Pilates instructor to help others improve their body awareness and well-being. Yoga soon followed, enhancing her strength and mindfulness. Together, Pilates and Yoga became her ideal combination for promoting strength, flexibility, serenity, and body awareness.
Since beginning her Pilates teaching career in 2012, Marjorie has loved sharing her passion for movement, both in the studio and online, helping others feel empowered in their bodies.
