Leith Pilates is a very special place. From the library of movement books in the waiting area, to the annual Pilates photo competition, Andy and Ruth go above and beyond to make Pilates accessible and fun for everyone. There is a lovely feeling of community and comradery every time you come into the studio.

The classes here are welcoming, informative and challenging (in a good way!). The teachers clearly spend a lot of time thinking about how to address the needs of everyone in the room. Pilates strengthens and moves all parts of the body, so it is a great activity regardless of your lifestyle or hobbies. The teachers here give lots of personal attention and advice to make sure everyone feels the benefits.

One of the best parts of joining Leith Pilates has been learning from Andy and the other teachers how to apply Pilates principles to other parts of my life. Whether I'm sitting in my office or hiking in the hills, I’ve gained a better understanding of how to prevent injury through improved alignment and body awareness.
