Leigh O'Brien Wellness

Her professional yet approachable and patient manner make her both an excellent student and instructor. Her ability to verbally and physically teach the material is excellent and refreshing.

She is a disciplined instructor who knows her clients strengths and weaknesses well and how to address their issues. She has good knowledge and understanding of the Stott repertoire and combined with her experience makes her a successful instructor.

She challenges one but never pushes you beyond your abilities and is always very aware of any injury to or pain in the body. We would highly recommend Leigh to anyone no matter what level of experience they have had of Pilates.

I have quite bad osteoarthritis in my hands and wrists in addition to my lower back issues, which can complicate the exercises I can do… Leigh is a fantastic teacher, pushing me to extend myself in my exercises and always finding ways to adapt to my physical limitations.  I very rarely have any sciatica at all these days, and very rarely have any of the lower back issues that used to plague me all the time.

I have had two lumber laminectomies and an ankle heel fusion. I started Pilates about three years ago at a time that I was experiencing significant lower back pain…My back pain disappeared within a month of starting Pilates and has never returned. I am a keen golfer and feel as though I have a stronger swing now than before…I would unconditionally recommend Pilates with Leigh.

Leigh O’Brien has been my guide, coach, instructor, therapist and friend through the most recent chapter of my pilates story since 2016. Her serene and caring approach is layered on top of deep technical knowledge about human anatomy and science, and a steely will to help each client succeed in achieving their personal health and fitness goals…I will miss Leigh and her gentle ruthlessness terribly when I move to a new job that involves an overseas posting. I am sure it will be almost impossible to find another studio that makes me so happy and healthy.

I was competing in Latin American dancing at the time and training for hours every day. Pilates helped me to perfect the difficult dance moves and to prevent injuring myself. My dance trainer was so impressed with the improvement in my dancing that he made it compulsory for all his dancers to do Pilates…I give full credit to Leigh for giving me the foundations of everything that I know about Pilates. I have been so inspired by her teaching skills that my own teaching style has been hugely influenced by Leigh.
