Entrepreneur opens new reformer Pilates studio in Aberdeen
Aberdeen entrepreneur Jonathan Harper has jumped headfirst into the global wellness wave, investing £60,000 to transform his west end fitness space into a high-end reformer Pilates studio. StudioBe, based at 13 Carden Place, has relaunched with a luxury fit-out and mission to bring reformer Pilates, hot yoga, barre classes and more to the city. Just two days in, the studio had already notched up over 500 class bookings and a host of influencer visits. The launch comes as interest in reformer Pilates continues to surge nationally, fuelled by celebrity endorsements from the likes of Ed Sheeran and Margot Robbie. With six state-of-the-art reformers, two mat studios, barre classes and new heaters going in for hot yoga, StudioBe has hit the ground running and is now working to keep up with demand. 'We've gone from old-school PT and heavy lifting to something completely different – calm, holistic, wellness-led,' says Jonathan. 'Such is the power of these reformers and all this mat Pilates now, we've got to the point where it is such a hype and such a big vibe, that everyone's talking about it. 'We thought 'let's embrace it' and that's what we're doing'.' Jonathan says there are currently seven full-time trainers working at StudioBe, with plans to buy more reformer machines to meet growing interest. 'Everything has been fully booked,' he adds. 'We have had all the influencers round and it has gone crazy on socials.' While the fit-out is high-end, Jonathan says prices remain competitive, with an inclusive, community feel central to the vision. 'We want to be a destination – a one-stop wellness hub,' he adds. 'You can come for Pilates and then head upstairs to Pink Lily for hair, make-up or beauty treatments. It's about making wellness easy and accessible. Pilates and a pamper.' StudioBe is also keen to team up with neighbouring west end businesses to offer bespoke classes for the workers on its doorstep. 'That's our target for the next few months, connecting with businesses nearby,' says Jonathan. 'There are real benefits for companies and from an employee point of view it creates a sense of belonging and camaraderie.' And the target audience for reformer Pilates? 'Younger women are obsessed with it, but I'm a real advocate for us men getting into it as well,' he adds. 'It's great for golfers, swimmers, anyone wanting to improve their core. We are getting a lot of early enquiries from guys.' Business-wise, Jonathan has big ambitions beyond the Carden Place studio, with discussions already under way on expanding into clothing and equipment. Jonathan, who also works in commercial property, said the shift to wellness was not just about capitalising on a trend. He said it is part of a broader rethink on how former office space in Aberdeen could be repurposed – especially in light of the downturn in oil and gas. 'It's about sweating your assets,' says Jonathan, who owns the building and masterminded the transformation. 'There are so many great spaces and people need to be creative. 'We have great community and it's a good city to do business in. 'I'm committed. I'm born and bred in Aberdeen and we have to have a bit of self-belief.'

The German grocer is charging full steam ahead with its expansion plans, splashing out £650million this year alone to bring its famously low prices to more shoppers. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Aldi has revealed ten new store locations Credit: Getty Over the next 14 weeks, ten brand new branches will open across the UK and they'll bring with them around 400 new jobs. Aldi now has more than 1,050 stores across Britain and has set its sights on 1,500 as part of its long-term plan. Each of the 10 new sites will create around 40 jobs, with staff earning at least £12.75 an hour, and even more inside the M25 at £14.05. That's before a planned pay bump this September that'll push starting pay up again. All Aldi staff also get paid breaks, worth around £1,370 a year to the average store colleague. Alongside the new sites, Aldi will also give 30 of its existing stores a fresh new look. These will include popular locations in Manchester, Liverpool, Kent, Dorset and Scotland. The chain's managing director of national real estate, Jonathan Neale, revealed why the company was expanding rapidly, in a statement released today. He said: "We strongly believe that everyone in Britain should have access to high quality food at our unbeatable Aldi prices. "But we know that there are still thousands of shoppers in the capital that don't yet have access to an Aldi nearby." Full list of new Aldi supermarkets OVER the next 14 weeks, ten brand new branches will open in: Brighouse, West Yorkshire Oldbury, West Midlands Caterham, Surrey Sheffield, South Yorkshire Deeside, Wales Fulham Broadway, London Diss, Norfolk Hilton, Derbyshire West Denton, Newcastle Market Harborough, Leicestershire Aldi is selling a cheap $4.49 item that will transform your garden into a colorful summer paradise The budget chain has tossed £55million at its capital city stores alone, with four of the new branches being in London. These include the Wimbledon, Fulham Broadway, Orpington and Caterham (Surrey) branches. Aldi also wants to open another 100 stores in London, which would mean 3,500 new jobs in the capital. Jonathan said: "There are still thousands of shoppers – especially in London - who don't yet have an Aldi nearby. "That's not fair, and we're working hard to change that.' So if there's not an Aldi near you now, chances are there will be soon and your weekly shop might just get a whole lot cheaper. Which Aldi stores are getting a makeover THE following stores are set to be 'refreshed' in coming months: Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire Herne Bay, Kent Aigburth, Liverpool Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent Southampton, Hampshire St Marys Gate, Sheffield Weymouth, Dorset Ancoats, Manchester Ayr, Scotland Northampton, East Midlands Nuneaton, Warwickshire Lye, Dudley Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear Inverness, Scotland Norwich, Norfolk Horwich, Greater Manchester Glastonbury, Somerset Darlington, County Durham Sandbach, Cheshire Bingley, West Yorkshire Cowdenbeath, Scotland Salisbury, Wiltshire Murdishaw, Cheshire Romiley, Greater Manchester Clevedon, North Somerset Hexham, Northumberland Louth, Lincolnshire Cupar, Scotland Burton On Trent, Staffordshire Chelmsford, Essex Popular Aldi finds this week Bargain hunters have plenty to be excited about right now. This week, shoppers are racing to their nearest branch to snap up a Baileys dupe, scanning for a third of the price with a host of new flavours launching just in time for summer. The popular supermarket chain is launching three new dessert-inspired Ballycastles (70cl) - each scanning at the tills for just £7.49. Its comes just days after Brits across the country were flocking to the budget supermarket for its summer garden furniture range. The collection included a Belavi folding chair, which was deemed the perfect budget buy for making sure you can kick back and relax in style.
