Personalized exercise programs in Edinburgh

“After attending and loving a GRC competition trial run by Linnea, I signed up for Walk and Train’s shadow programme — and I’m so glad I did! Between both Linnea and Gregor, they were full of knowledge and genuine love for the work they do. Throughout the programme, I got to discuss my future and how to get into the dog training world as well as observe a wide range of training sessions, from puppy development and obedience work to behaviour modification and GRC training. Each session offered something new to learn, and both Linnea and Gregor took the time to explain methods, reasoning, and the “why” behind every technique! What I loved was how calm, patient, consistent and fun they were with every dog and client. The ability to tailor their approach to each individual dog was brilliant and made me reflect on how I can apply the same adaptability in my own work. The experience was educational, motivating and so much fun — I came away with a deeper understanding of canine behaviour, training structure and the importance of clear communication between handler and their dog. I’d highly recommend this shadow programme to anyone looking to grow their knowledge, gain hands-on experience, or simply spend time learning from passionate, and skilled trainers! I can’t wait to continue developing my training journey with everything I took away from this experience ❤️”

“My boy has a weekly football training class here. I've not been round the while building but what I have seen is pretty impressive. Everything looks very modern and clean.”

“I’ve been going there for adult swim lessons for over a year. Thomas is the best swim coach I’ve ever had. I’ve had many lessons for the past many years but nobody can match Thomas. I came from deep trauma of being in water. Thomas has helped me progress from zero to now capable of being confident in water (not deep water yet) by myself while learning techniques to swim. I consider myself the most difficult swim student. He’s very patient, resourceful, funny and 100% great in coaching non-swimmers. Their management also gave me a trial day pass for the gym and allowed me to use their gym one other day while my usual sports centre was closed for refurbishment. I have only great things to say about them. Fully recommend the centre.”

“I can thoroughly recommend Claire. I consulted her over several months for a sore shoulder. Claire helped it get better via hands on treatment and a suite of online excercises. The fact that they are online was good as it let you see how to do the exercises correctly. I would happily consult Claire again, should the need arise.”

“I booked 4 weeks 1-2-1 puppy training with Marion and it’s the best thing I could have done for my puppy Forrest. He’s learned so much in this time and loved every minute with Marion. She helped me with any questions I had and is such a lovely, kind woman to work with. I will be booking more sessions with her soon when we can get out walks as her knowledge has been invaluable and can’t wait to work with her again.”

“I started Kuk Sool Won in March as a way to take my mind of the stresses of work. I was quickly made to feel really welcome by everyone especially the instruction team. After a few months I decided to bring my 2 very different kids along which was a great move! They both love it! One is more athletic so loves that element of it while the other is more sensitive who really enjoys learning the techniques and forms. For us it has meant we can all share something positive and we even occasionally have kuk sool play fights so it's been great to bring us together. I struggled to get "the sensitive one" into any activity so the fact that he has taken to Kuk sool has been great from a parents point of view to see the development in him over the past few months has been really positive. I couldn't recommend highly enough from an individual, family or kids perspective there is something for everyone.”

“The team at the Mayfield branch has been fantastic in helping me recover from various injuries and general wear and tear. They have all been very warm and friendly with extensive knowledge in physiotherapy and massage. Their model compared to others is very refreshing, and I really appreciate their online booking system and late night and Saturday sessions which makes finding and booking a session, very easy. A great physio and I think you would struggle to find better, across Edinburgh.”

“Bryan and his team have been doing puppy visits for our golden retriever Banjo since he was just 11 weeks old whilst we are at work. So far they have been absolutely brilliant and Banjo seems very happy and comfortable with everyone. They all take great care of him, provide us with lots of photo updates and even go the extra mile by adhering to our weird and wonderful requests like putting scrambled eggs in his kibble! My partner and I have complete peace of mind whilst we are at work and we know our puppy is in great hands. I would definitely recommend We Love Pets Livingston to others and will continue to use them as Banjo grows up and can join the other big dogs on walks!”

“After alot of thought and hesitation. We took the plunge and contacted Kristie. So helpful, so understanding of our circumstances. Now our wee timid 'Fergus' cannot wait for his walkers Susan & Emma. He sits at the window waiting for the car and off he goes. Best decision we have made. We get regular updates on what the wee one has been up to, together with pictures. Cannot recommend enough!!!!”

“We had the pleasure of having Kimberley as our dog chaperone for our wedding, and she was absolutely amazing with our dog, Venus. Kimberley has an incredible ability to communicate with dogs, keeping Venus calm and engaged during the photos, and helping her confidently walk down the aisle all on her own—a truly unforgettable moment. She was patient, gentle, and professional throughout, and even took care of transporting Venus straight after our photos with her. Everything went perfectly, and Kimberley’s trustworthiness and skills are second to none. We would highly recommend her services to anyone!”

“We left our somewhat anxious old cat Misty at Alicats and he was completely at home and even made friends. More recently we boarded our rescue cat and were a little concerned he might think he’d been abandoned again but all our worries were unfounded and he settled well. We were very grateful for the photos and videos sent to us while we were on holiday which really set our minds at rest. Wonderful place and great care.”

“We have used Prime Pet Care for several years to look after our cats and they have always been reliable. We are very happy to continue using them in the future too. They have been flexible at short notice and their prices are reasonable. Can highly recommend using them.”

“Very nice, clean, modern leisure clean that’s part of the golf complex. Good sized sauna and steam room. The pool is really warm too. Can be busy just after school time but there are adults only times too. Friendly staff too”

“The gym is excellent. Equipment very high tech but easy to use. Changing rooms nice and clean and staff really lovely. Hairdryer button is hidden at the back. Not much space makes it difficult to get dressed in the shower cubicle. Quiet at lunch times.”

“Love this pool, me and my children come here often, the wave pool is great and the slide is fun. I like how it slopes from shallow to deep, suitable for babies and great swimmers. Showers are good and loads changing rooms. Kids area has little play parts in the pool.”
