YogaJo's is a beautiful dedicated yoga studio in Milngavie that runs yoga classes for pretty much…read moreeveryone. I prefer the gentler styles of yoga like hatha and yin, but they also run astanga and flow classes for those who prefer faster paced classes. They also run classes for kids and teens - my niece goes every week and loves it. The studio is bright, clean and spacious with tea, coffee and sometimes even cake, but best of all is the welcoming atmosphere they generate. All the teachers and students are just so friendly and as a regular participant you begin to feel part of the community there rather than just a random visitor. As a result you begin to deepen your yoga practice not just through the classes, but through your interaction with your fellow students. For me, this is what a yoga studio should really be all about, rather than just somewhere to go and work out.

From the owner: Yoga classes for the whole community. At YogaJo's we have classes to suit all ages and abilities.read more

When I first started attending Pilates at The Yoga & Pilates Place, it had been close to a decade…read moresince I had practiced. I felt right at home in the studio, and everyone made me feel welcome. Gail is a great instructor, always with an encouraging word and making sure that everyone is working to the best of their abilities. The Yoga/Mat room is brilliant when the sun is out; it really warms up the room. I've enjoyed the mat based classes so much, that I'll be starting reformer classes this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it!

I got into yoga about two years ago because I ran lots and was constantly always struggling to…read morestretch properly. I hear about hot yoga, and having lived most of my life in very warm places like Florida, I thought the combination of hot and yoga sounded ace. I got a Groupon deal, and generally they run a special for beginners to try for two weeks at £25. Normally classes are £12 a piece unless you get a block card, then they are less. I've take several classes there after I used up my initial block and love it! It is super warm, but I enjoy it and you feel like you work a lot harder to concentrate and focus on the moves. I don't go every week, but I have definitely noticed a progression in my flexibility and it is so thrilled to see progress! Their website has an easy booking system and apparently, they will soon have an app. I've taken classes from both Lynne and Alan, and they were super easy to follow and very helpful you to get the position and movements right. The standard class is 1.5 hours and gets right into it with an hour of positions, which you do several times to push yourself further each time. The last half hour is some mat work mostly working the back and doing some stretching combined with shavasana. You can bring your own mat or rent one for a £1, and if you forget a massive bottle of water, they also sell those for a £1. Bring a towel and wear light clothing, I generally wear shorts, but then your knees are hard to hold during some poses, so it is easier to wear longer tights. I would highly recommend the trip out to try it. My skin always feels really nice afterwards as well. They do offer an early bird class Friday's at 6:45 am for £6 and they have a 1 hour express class or a Power class, which I am still meaning to try. It is a great yoga workout and an even better stretch, I definitely feel like it is a treat to go and during the cold, grey days or rainy weather, it feels like a mini-vacation to be warm!

This studio is in between my home and work and yet it took me almost 10 months to go try it out…read more And oh how I wish I could turn back time! Wonderful teachers, all very different, so it's nice to try out different ones. Also getting the variety in advice is nice. Some are tough, others super sweet, go try a class with each to pick what you need/like! I love that they offer hot yoga and power yoga. The hot yoga is strongly based on Bikram but leaves out the Bikram poses that I dont like haha. But having also the power yoga option is perfect as you can have two totally different workouts at the same studio, and they complement each other very well. One day I wanted to cancel as I had been feeling very tired all day, but I went to hot yoga and got totally energised! I felt the most awake that I had been all day. I used their 14 days unlimited for 25 pounds and would recommend starting this way and going as often as possible. Your body really adapts and even starts craving it! Makes it easy to go exercise AND enjoy it that way! The atmosphere in and after classes is always different, often after class nobody says anything to each other, in others everyone is very friendly... But the class itself is consistently good. They are open to listen to you personally and give advised based on your goals and maybe injuries. This will be my go-to place for workout in the coming months/years, thankful I found it! Love how addictive it gets if you go often! And, being in a 40 degrees room is a lovely break from winter. When I come home I still am warm enough for 3 hours after not to need to turn on the heater in my flat :) I also like the carpeted floor who adds to the padding of your mat. And the fact there is a whole wall of mirrors so you can see and correct your pose! On the down side, mat rental and water costs extra, something other studios in the studio do provide sometimes. I still give it a 5 though because it makes me feel soooo good!

Although I have done enough yoga now to class myself no longer as a beginner (though not intermediate either... kinda in the middle), I'm enjoying the pace and length (90mins) which allows you to really spend time building up the movements before coming to final relaxation - sometimes an hour class just isn't long enough. What can I say? I am hooked on yoga... and having a class near my home makes it much more convenient than commuting into Edinburgh.

This is a well equipped gym for all shapes and sizes. You won't feel out of place here no matter…read morewhat age you are. There are regulars who are 70 years + and those at various stages in their journey to get fit/lose weight/be healthy. I have been a member now for over a year. The membership fee is extremely reasonable at £30 a month basic and £36 a month for 6 weekly reviews with a personal trainer. They have up-to-date exercise machines and use new technology such as the amazing and addictive vibro-gym to offer a wide variety of exercises to challenge your body. There are a number of different classes you can attend which are included in your membership fee. Non-members can attend these on a limited basis on a pay as you go basis. Classes such as body balance (yoga and pilates mixed together), spin, body combat, body attack, box a fit and many more are all there to give you a bit of everything. It's recently started opening at 6am so that people can get a full workout before a day's work. There are showers and locker facilities as well as a sauna in each gender's changing room. The staff are extremely friendly and supportive, always ready to give advice. The best thing is that this place has a good atmosphere. There are LCD screens on the walls and on some of the exercise machines which show different channels. You can plug your ear phones into the machine and watch eastenders whilst you run 5 miles if that's what takes your fancy. Definitely good value for your money.

I took some recommendations, Mike and the team at Club 300 continued to be top of peoples' lists. I met with Mike and started working with him and was immediately impressed by the ABC. A - The Attention to detail in preparing the sessions, giving appropriate nutritional advice, critiquing movement patterns and adapting both sessions and practices to suit my race schedule and abilities. B - Working with me to master the Basics and explaining the underpinning anatomy, physiology and biomechanics behind why and how we were going to achieve the aim. C - Continually adapting sessions to meet the aim and keep them Challenging but achievable. For me lastly it is the warm and welcoming atmosphere that Mike and the whole team have created that deserves mention. It is no way an intimidating place to train and I quite genuinely look forward to every session. I can't recommend Club 300 highly enough.
