It's kept me going during lockdown. I'm a yoga teacher and life long exerciser. I went to Headingley Pilates for something new and fun. Kath is incredibly knowledgeable and very professional even on zoom with the complications of tech, dogs and children! I love the way my body feels after a class - long, strong and light. Thanks Kath 😁

I attend the Somatic’s class. Kath is wonderful, to say I feel stretched and relaxed when I leave the class is an understatement. I also have one to classes with Kath and she truly understands where your body needs attention. Kath has embraced the awful pandemic we are going through right now and started online classes to keep us all calm but motivated. Thank you, you have been a motivation and a life line to many. Keep up your fantastic work. Alison 🤗

Through one to one sessions and attending gym and mat classes, I believe that I have improved my balance, strength and coordination. Last week, I returned to a garden abroad that I visited 3 years ago. On my first visit, I was concerned about walking on the uneven surfaces, steep paths and steps and the lack of handrails. On this visit, I realised that I wasn’t looking for handrails and wasn’t constantly looking down to check where I was walking. I moved around with much more confidence and ease and hence, more enjoyment. Thank you very much, Kath and team!

Just a thank you for the amazing Pilates that ended up helping me all the way through pregnancy but more so labour and active birth! Using the techniques learned in Pre Natal class I managed to stay at home then stay active through my labour which really helped! The midwife even commented on how truly active the brith was and the breathing helping so much. Looking forward to Post- Natal class.

A great place to do Pilates. All of the instructors cater to the needs of their clients and make sure to find the perfect exercises for them. I always feel super relaxed and stretched after class. Can only recommend it.

Kath is amazing and inspiring. I've been getting loads out of her classes, gyms and Hendrickson's massage 121s for a long time. I cycle to work (usually in a rush, running late) and sit at a computer all day feeling stressed, and I couldn't manage without Kath's Pilates to correct all my bad postural habits and tight neck and shoulder muscles. Not to mention keeping my core strong for larking around. I feel really uncomfortable in gyms and I feel completely at home at Leeds Pilates Place Headingley. Everyone I've met at classes has been really friendly and fun too. That's what Kath brings with her passion for the human body and how to help us make it work more effectively.

Kath is an amazing and inspirational instructor. She's made such a difference to my life since my stroke 3 years ago. I now have the confidence in my body to enjoy life and love myself! I can't imagine my life without my weekly Pilates gym sessions, somatic classes and Kath!

Kath is an awesome Pilates instructor. She is always learning new things about the human body, meaning classes stay fresh and challenging. The feeling at the end of each class isn't something I've experienced with any gym class. You arrive knowing you'll be having some fun, being taught expertly, making your body do things it's likely never done before. And you leave feeling taller, relaxed, enriched and ready for anything life throws at you. It has become a way of life. And I'm thankful to Kath for her advice. The complete mind body experience.

I've been doing Pilates with Kath for many years and I can honestly say that she has kept my body moving in a way that nothing and no-one else could have. She's a great teacher!

Since starting reformer classes in January I've noticed a massive improvement in my movement and posture (my friends and family have noticed too). I recently started doing a gym program as well. After years of back problems I feel like I've got control of my body back. Classes are great fun and the atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming.

I first met Kath for one on one appointments, a couple of years after my second back operation (anterior and posterior spinal fusion over ten vertebrae, on account of my scoliosis). I had some movement, but much of it was in pain, and it was far more limited than before my operations. I was quite weak too, relatively speaking. Over the last two years, my strength has increased, my movement has markedly improved, and I stand taller and straighter. I am more flexible than I was before my operations. The pain has decreased, and in some places, disappeared. Equally, at the same time, Kath educates, offering insight into the body and it’s movement, and the (elastic) interdependence between the two. I would recommend Kath to anyone and everyone, whatever their physical condition. She’s nice too!

If I could give 10 out of 5 I would. Kath, the proprietor, is so knowledgeable about all aspects of the human body, and how to make it work so that you can perform at your best. I have been working with Kath for over five years now, and she has helped me run, swim and bike faster so that I have been able to represent GB in triathlon. More importantly I have managed to remain injury free, through her expert care. The in-studio classes are great fun, and very supportive. The online videos are also great when I can't make it to class. In short, I recommend Kath to all of my friends to keep them supple and moving joyfully

I have known Kath for many years and attended her classes regularly when I lived in Leeds. Her team are very knowledgeable and the studio is very well equipped. The addition of online classes since the pandemic has meant that I can now access the high quality teaching from her team even now that I live far away. What a brilliant silver-lining!

I have been attending classes and 121 sessions with kath for 15 years. My fitness and posture are transformed. Kath is forever learning and very willing to share her learning. She has a unique offering based on all the disciplines she has trained in. The studio at Headingley is conveniently placed and well equipped.

Headingley Pilates is a friendly and welcoming studio with excellent tutors who cater for a range of different abilities and needs. Kath Nisbet is a very experienced practitioner who has an extensive knowledge of anatomy and is still constantly learning about how the body works and sharing this with clients. The classes moved online during the pandemic and they definitely contributed to keeping a lot of us us calm and sane! I've loved the Somatic and Oov classes and highly recommend this place.

My introduction to Kath Nisbet and Pilates began a few years ago, following a second stroke when the whole of my left side had taken a hit. I had great difficulty walking and maintaining balance without the use of a walking stick. Kath took me on, initially guiding me via her 1-2-1 sessions; as a result of her unique teaching skills, vast knowledge and remarkable insight, I soon saw improvements in my mobility. Not only could I attend a return to work interview without falling over, but within months I was able to complete a midnight walk – stickless. Since that time I have attended her gyms, workshops and various other sessions. As well as continuing to feel the benefit from these tailored sessions myself, I have witnessed the transformations in many others. I would definitely not hesitate to recommend Headingley Pilates to anyone, whatever age, background or condition.

Spacious, well equipped studio with comprehensive high quality apparatus & accessories. Staff are excellent and a variety of classes are offered. Proprietor Kath is delightfully personable; highly attentive; extremely knowledgeable; and brilliantly inventive -- every class she gives is different so you don't get bored. Brilliant, welcoming place that attracts people of all ages and levels of fitness. Highly recommended.

Have been attending Pilates class here regularly for about 4 years, in person before Covid (in the lovely airy studion) and the Zoom classes which Kath set up after lockdown. I've also had a couple of one to one sessions with Kath. She is a very inspiring teacher and the regular exercises have really solved my back problems. I've also really appreciated being able to buy recordings of classes to use at other times.

Amazing pilates studio with extremely knowledgeable instructors and super friendly clients. A real community feel, where everyone is welcome. All ages and abilities - everyone will benefit from attending classes. Highly recommend.

I have been coming to Kath’s gym classes for many years and she has helped enormously with my problems. I enjoy the sessions very much and she is very knowledgeable and very encouraging.
