Leo

Our Pilates Pooch

You may have met Leo at the studio already, he is normally behind the desk, however we wanted to let you know a little bit more about him.
Leo is a Bishon Frise, he is hypoallergenic and therefore does not shed and should not trigger any allergies. Leo is a little dog with a big personality and a bit moody at times. He likes mostly to sleep behind the reception desk. We are happy for you to approach him to say ‘hello’, he may also welcome you with a woof.
