Welcome to Complementary Fitness, I’m Susan, a Fitness Instructor with over 30 years teaching experience and I specialise & love teaching all-level Fitness Pilates, Fitness Yoga, (or a fitness Pilates/Yoga combo) as well as resistance, strength & toning classes for men & women.  I’m motivated, enthusiastic and committed to helping you achieve your fitness, health & lifestyle goals.  I look forward to working out with outdoors at Thistle Padel Court (an outdoor covered space) at 10am on Wednesdays & Fridays and at Paties Road Recreation Grounds on a Tue & Thurs 6.15pm (weather dependent).  If the weather’s not great on a Tue/Thurs, we can still enjoy a recorded class.

I hope that you’ll continue to join us to work on strengthening core & overall muscles, improve flexibility, posture, balance & co-ordination.

Please sign up to & check out the latest fitness Newsletter (News page) and Classes page for the latest info.

According to Scottish Government & Sport Scotland, our outdoor non-contact group exercise numbers have increased to max 30 again.

Classes are £5 each per person/per class payable by bank transfer, card machine or cash.

Complementary Fitness classes are more than ‘just fitness’ – our all-level classes are effective, friendly and fun with lots of options and variations to suit all.

I hope that you remain one of our ‘regulars’ – some class participants have been with us for almost 30 years!!

Did you know that exercise can improve your posture, build strength, flexibility, confidence and also affect your mindset: regulating your mood and helping you feel positive too? It’s a great stress-buster and can help you clear your mind, feel more focused and happier.

We hope you’ll be part of our journey to feeling amazing and having more energy. All classes are for women (except pregnancy) and they’re for all levels including beginners.
