Myerson Solicitors has advised Ellie Downie MBE, founder of Embrace Wellness Studio, on securing a new lease for her second wellness studio in the centre of Stockport.
Ellie, a former Olympic gymnast turned wellness entrepreneur, has taken a further step in growing her health and fitness brand by opening a new Embrace Wellness Studio on 24th January 2026.
The new site follows the successful opening of her first studio in Old Trafford and marks an exciting expansion for the business.
Myerson’s Commercial Property Team acted for Ellie in securing a three-year lease, supporting her throughout the transaction to ensure a smooth and timely completion.
The letting agents involved were MBRE.
Embrace Wellness is one of the newest reformer Pilates studios to open in Greater Manchester, offering a wide range of classes suitable for all abilities, including Control and Basics for beginners, SLT (Strength, Length and Tone) for intermediate clients, Burn for intermediate to advanced levels, and Flexibility classes open to all.
Ellie Downie MBE, Founder of Embrace Wellness Studio, said:
“I’m so excited for this next chapter and to keep growing Embrace with all of you.
This community has become something I’m truly proud of and deeply passionate about. Being surrounded by people who share the same energy, vision and love for movement is the greatest gift, and I’m so grateful to be on this journey.
Here’s to growth, connection and our little studio in Stockport.”
