Ellen Leishman Pilates

I did a Google search for a beginner Pilates class local to me. I have chronic back and neck pain and felt put off by some of the other classes, which seemed focused on body image and the kind of flexibility I will never achieve. Ellens classes, both in-person and online, have been transformative for me - I can manage my pain better and I am feeling stronger and more positive. She is exceptional and I cannot recommend her enough. Give one of her classes a go!

I have been going to Ellen's class for about 3 years and I love it. Its the best thing about Mondays! Ellen is a lovely, friendly person, very knowledgeable and will tailor any exercise to suit your body's needs. The class has a relaxed friendly atmosphere with a good amount of work! I've really noticed a change in my body since I started. Thanks Ellen.

Highly recommend Ellen's classes! She is a brilliant, fun teacher and very knowledgable. At the beginning of each class, she asks all of us individually if there's anything she needs to be aware of in terms of injuries etc. and customises the class if needed. I always feel great when leaving her class and my back feels so much better since I started Pilates.

I've done Pilates quite a few years now in a few places; really like Ellen's classes. I've done both beginner and intermediate with her. It's a friendly & chilled-out vibe with the right amount of challenge thrown in. She's really good at adapting the class so it's suitable for everyone. Great class!

I love Ellens classes, shes absolutely brilliant! I came in after serious lower back pains and I'm now back to my previous levels of activity. Shes extremely knowledgeable and explains the exercises very well. She will give personal feedback to individuals and will adapt and tailor exercises to suit different skill levels. On top of that, shes the nicest person and her positivity is infectious! Ive now been a regular to her classes for almost 3 years and Ive recently started to attend her reformer classes as well. Highly recommended!
