The studio itself is gorgeous too. You know whenever you go to a class you're in safe hands and will leave happier, stronger and more confident than you went in.
Alice Palmer - Google ReviewThis studio makes me feel lucky to live in Edinburgh. All of the instructors are very friendly, supportive and welcoming. I never get tired of coming to class. Even if I'm having an off day the instructors will give me alternatives to work on and really give me a boost. The environment in the studio is very inclusive. You are free to express yourself however you please without judgement. The student community at this studio really support each other. A safe space to be yourself and enjoy dancing. We are lucky to have so many opportunities to learn from the pole community, whether it's visiting instructors or photographers. I'm proud to be a pip.

A wonderful pole studio, all the instructors are very professional, enthusiastic and take the time to explain whenever you have questions. They've handled every stage of the pandemic with grace and I've always felt comfortable going. I had my first pole classes here and immediately fell in love with the sport!
Xenia Foe - Google ReviewThe BEST pole studio I've ever been to. Gwen and the team are amazing, the most friendly funny people with big hearts and excellent knowledge of all things pole. You will feel safe and secure and have the most fun - I'd recommend this watermelon to anyone !!
Jen Coyle - Google ReviewI have been atending The Watermelon Studio for classes since 2015, very shortly after it opened, and it has become my second hom.e It offers such a warm, welcoming environment, and you will not find better iinstructors or fellow students. The classes are structerd and based around safe training, but are also about having the most fun possibly. It's fair to say that Watermelon changed my life. From the time I walked into the studio for my first class almost seven years ago, I have never looked back.
Emma Wright - Google ReviewThis is a gorgeous space to build strength and confidence. The instructions care about your safety while guiding you through carefully thought out levels to build the fundamentals and progressions. I always leave with a smile on my face after years of coming here.
