Yasemin is a personal trainer at HBS. She specialises in female health, working with women who want to train in a way that actually fits their body and their life.

At HBS, you’re not just working with one person, you’re backed by a team that talks to each other, challenges each other, and stays sharp so you don’t have to guess whether what you’re getting is evidence-based.

Come say hi, we’re at 98–100 Giles Street in Leith.

Massage helps. Heat helps. But if that’s all you’re doing, you’re managing the symptom, not solving the problem.

Read our Fix Your Own Neck Pain guide, link in bio. 15 minutes, clear plan, no commitment.

That’s not a small thing.

A lot of people try classes, PT, or rehab and drift away. Not because they don’t want results but because they don’t feel confident in what they’re doing or why.

Karl comes regularly because the guidance makes the difference. Knowing what to do, why you’re doing it, and that someone is watching and adjusting, that’s what makes it sustainable.

That’s what every session at HBS is built around. Not just putting people through their paces, but making sure they understand and trust the process.

If you want that kind of support, book a free online physio assessment. Link in bio.

We see it all the time. Someone comes in and says they’ve had it for a few weeks. Then we ask a few more questions and it turns out it’s been going on since last summer.

It’s not that people ignore it, it’s that they manage it. Rest when it flares, push through when it settles. And the months add up.

Physio isn’t about waiting until you can’t cope. It’s about getting clear on what’s actually happening and building a plan before it starts running your life.

Initial assessment is £70. You’ll leave with a diagnosis in plain English and a structured plan from day one.

Book via the link in bio or DM us, no pressure, no long-term commitment needed.

Bradley is a personal trainer at HBS. His focus is building science-based habits that actually stick, so clients make progress that lasts beyond the sessions.

One of the most common things we hear: “I didn’t want to waste your time, it’s not that bad.”

But a Movement MOT isn’t just for people who are struggling. It’s for anyone who wants to know where they actually are — before a ni**le becomes a problem, or before months of training in the wrong direction.

Pain is a late signal. Movement quality, strength gaps, and loading issues show up long before pain does. That’s what an assessment finds.

If you’ve been putting it off because you thought you weren’t bad enough, you’re exactly who it’s for.

Keith had a stroke. His wife went looking for stroke rehab classes and found us. He’s now fitter and stronger than he was before it happened.

That’s not a line we throw around lightly.

When Keith came to Thrive, the goal was straightforward, structured, supported rehabilitation after a stroke. Something that would help him get back to moving well and feeling capable again.

What happened over time was more than that. The consistency, the progression, the right environment, it added up. Keith didn’t just recover. He came out the other side in better shape than before.

Thrive runs Monday to Friday. Small groups. Supervised. Built around where you actually are.

If you or someone you know is looking for structured rehab support, start with a free online physio assessment. Link in bio.

Avoiding movement because it hurts? That instinct might be the thing keeping your neck pain going.

Most people don’t let things get bad on purpose. Life gets busy, it settles down enough to manage, and sorting it properly keeps getting pushed back.

But persistent ni**les don’t usually go away on their own. They just get better at hiding until something tips them over.

If there’s something you’ve been quietly working around — a hip, a knee, a shoulder, this week is as good a time as any to get some clarity.

Online PT at HBS works the same way our in-person coaching does a personalised programme built around you, regular check-ins, and someone in your corner who actually knows what they’re talking about.

No commute. No fixed schedule constraints. No starting from scratch every few months with a new app or a new plan that doesn’t fit your life.

It’s designed for people who are serious about making progress but can’t, or don’t want to, train in person. Busy professionals, people outside Edinburgh, clients who’ve moved away and still want continuity.

If you want structure, accountability, and coaching that travels with you, book a free online physio assessment and we’ll take it from there. Link in bio.

Being lean, agile and commercially sustainable isn’t at odds with having a social mission. For us, it’s the foundation of it.

We set HBS up as a social enterprise because health isn’t optional. It’s a necessity and we believe that in an industry like this, social impact and commercial success should sit alongside each other, not compete.

Health is wealth. The healthier Edinburgh is, the better everything else gets. That’s the version of growth we’re building towards.

In practice that means things like 10% of our Thrive rehab class spaces being offered free to people experiencing financial difficulty. It means we make decisions about services, pricing, and access with the community in mind as well as the bottom line.

Profit with purpose, rooted in Leith.

Come say hi, you’ll find us on Giles Street.

We see it constantly. Someone’s been managing a ni**le for six months, resting when it flares, pushing through when it settles, Googling symptoms at midnight.

By the time they book in, they’ve often tried three different approaches, spent money on things that didn’t stick, and lost time they didn’t need to lose.

A proper assessment at the start changes all of that. You know what you’re dealing with. You know what to do. You stop guessing.

That’s the Movement MOT. Sixty minutes. Six movement patterns. A clear picture of where you are and exactly what to do next.

Who We Are

We are Scotland’s first Personal Training/Physiotherapy Social Enterprise, and we strongly believe that our social enterprise model could offer a new paradigm for physiotherapy and personal training in the UK.

The profit we make goes towards our social purpose, which is helping people who have been discharged from the NHS but still have rehab potential.

We are a team of university graduates passionate about highlighting the importance of science and changing lifestyles to help maximise people’s wellbeing and minimise the risk of preventable illness. You can meet the team here.

We believe in science. Believing is easy. Being sceptical is hard. As healthy sceptics, we do the research before helping our clients to apply the evidence using the principles of sustainable behaviour change.
