Fitness Soul Reviews

I'll have to thank Celia(my physio) first that recommended me to try Fitness Soul. I had constant pain in my back and neck, a tendinitis in my wrist and very sore knees. It was 3 years ago that I started doing Zumba classes and thought it was fun!! Joanna's energy and smile are always encouraging and contagious. Then I found myself lifting weights attending Lezcec's classes. I always thought this was not for me. Now I've realized it is for everyone, of any fitness shape or age and that we all really need that. And I even like it! I've never been a gym person, I found it boring and struggle to be constant. But I can say now that Fitness Soul has completely changed my perspective. It's a small and nice community here always willing to help. And that also matters. The rest of the team are also very kind and helpful. So many things learnt in this time. My pains are mainly gone and that is thanks to exercising and the strenght training. I've also used Joanna as PT in the Small Group and she's been great, always cheerful, resourceful and knowledgeable guiding us in different aspect of exercising, nutrition, injuries etc She knows to read the room and adapt to the group and to every individual helping us to progress to reach our own goals. We also share healthy receipts, ideas and some laughs! (Some will say turmeric shots after the sessions too :) ) These guys at Fitness Soul know very well what they do and they do it with a lot of passion for helping people of any kind and age in their own journeys. Whole team will make you feel welcomed. They share everything possible with clients and are always bringing new ideas to improve and keep people interested in doing more. They put their best on it and they care, you can sense that and it is very engaging. So it's just not about working out but also learning and sharing experiences with beautiful humans that want to give you a hand. And sometimes some cute doggies too! What a journey, one that I never thought I could accomplish! Now I feel I can't stop it and I hope to keep all the good habits for a lifetime and also continue improving. Thanks Fitness Soul. I'd say to anyone to try it, you won't regret it :)

Could not love the fitmamas classes at Fitness Soul more! It's so good to be able to get a work out with the kids in such a friendly environment. They have been great extending classes to online and not just in person during covid helping keep us all motivated and sane. The coaches are all fabulous and great motivators no two classes are the same so there's always something to enjoy!

I have been having myofascial pain for many years and I started PT to recover and get stronger. It was scary at first, but Joanna was understanding about where I was coming from with having past injuries and with time, I started feeling confident to exercise again. I was amazed by how much I could accomplish in just 3 months after thinking that 'lifting is not for me'. After strength training, I am now stronger and more active in my life. The gym has a fantastic atmosphere with knowledgeable trainers who also love what they do

I have been coming to FS on/off since 2017. Started doing the first bootcamp that Richard did (killing but loads of fun!!), and continued for over a year doing classes with Joanna, Leszek, Roz & the rest of the gang. The thing about this gym is that isn't your normal type of gym where you go, exercise and go home having little to 0 interaction with the people in the class or the instructor. This gym is a place where you go and exercise having fun with a great bunch of people that are (and treat you) like a friend/family. If you're looking for a place to exercise where no-one cares or bothers you, don't come here, but if you're looking for a place where you can exercise, feel happy, feel like you're partying (Zumba & Konga) and....even cure your hungover, FS is your place!! For the past 12 weeks I've been doing a Small PT group class with Joanna and I have managed to not only achieve my goals (Loss fat/volume + gain muscle strength (my knees are happier now). Develop healthy habits: healthier meals and weekly exercising - gym, hillwalking, cycling, running,... anything that requires a bit of an effort- & Stick to all the above without losing motivation after the 12 weeks)!!! Joanna has managed not only to keep me motivated, but also made it so much fun that even on days that I felt like no motivation/energy or had to "take it easy", I went, exercised, gave it all (got told to remember to take it easy ...haha), had fun and left with a big smile in my face!! As well as PT, I started going back to Zumba (with Joanna), Social Strength (with Leszek) & Konga (with Roz) and can't recommend this guys enough!! They're the happiest, funniest, inspiring people you can find on your fitness journey!!! I can't recommend enough this bunch!! And the rest of the FS family are as GREAT as this 3!!! They'll inspire you to push your limits and you'll be surprised on how much more of what you think you can do you will do if you join them!!

What a great gym! Everyone’s so supportive and friendly. No egos, just encouragement to be your best self.

Great place to work out if you like group exercise, especially if you don't normally feel comfortable in gym environments. Everyone is very supportive and friendly. The trainers are fantastic.

I just completed my eighth training session with Joanna from FitnessSoul and the small PT group. These are female-only training sessions, and the atmosphere is fantastic. Joanna is an incredible fitness trainer. She is very supportive and always takes the time to answer any questions. There’s always a lot of fun, and everyone leaves the training with a smile, even if we are sweaty and have sore muscles🤭 The workouts are varied, including everything from warm-ups with muscle rolling to light and intensive cardio, weight exercises, and stretching. In addition to fitness, there are plenty of discussions about the menstrual cycle and how to eat and exercise to support our hormones. After just four weeks, I've lost 6 cm from my waist and 2 cm from my hips. Under my "couch potato" skin, I can finally feel my abdominal muscles and I love this! Additionally, I sleep like a log, and I've never been more motivated in my entire life to lose weight.

I've been doing bootcamp 3 times a week for over a year. It's not easy but it's great fun, we all see our progress over time and the bottom line is that unlike any other gym I attended in the past, I keep coming back, 3 times a week, every week. This means something.

Tucked away in Tennant Street this club is the nirvana of exercise addicts. I'm one of them.

I was part of the Bootcamp group for 6 months. I had a wonderful time under Richard and the amazing group of people that he leads, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday @ 6.30am. Always a cheerful bunch despite the early hours, the program consists in cardio work, HIIT, Strength Training. I was very lucky to find them back then, and I am very grateful that I met them. Fitness Soul, is not only bootcamp, as you might be well aware. Have a look at their social media because they have a lot to offer, from Zumba classes or Kettlebells, to Open Gym Sessions.

I’m only about 2 weeks in and this gym has made me feel like exercising is fun for the first time in YEARS after an ACL injury. I am also new to Scotland and have found it to be such a friendly supportive community. Thank you 💛

Been doing small group PT with Joanne and loved it. Not used to doing lots of exercise but Joanne is a great motivator and there's always a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Have improved strength ,fitness and confidence so I highly recommend.

Joanna has helped me significantly with my weight loss and strength. I initially joined a small personal training group called Fitmamas and now attend classes with Fitness Soul. She has also assisted me with nutrition, providing the best advice throughout my journey and helping me reach my targets. She’s also super supportive and friendly 🙌🏻 Lez has also been absolutely brilliant; he has helped me build my confidence in lifting more than ever. Additionally, he provides the best advice and facts about training and lifestyle. Lez is attentive to helping you use the best technique in classes. I particularly enjoy his strength and hyrox classes—they are super fun. Fitness Soul itself is a great gym with an amazing group of people from different backgrounds. The supportive community fosters motivation among everyone. 🫶🏻

Joanna is amazing, she is extremely dedicated, always with the most beautiful smile, full of energy and happiness!!! My favourite Personal Trainer!

Lean and Strong Challenge has been an excellent and cost effective way of getting to join in with fitness soul (one of the best fitness gyms ever!) whilst living too far away to be in person. It is a group put together with an app, WhatsApp and the care of Joanna and Leszek. There are habits to learn to follow and 3 workouts a week that you can do at home with no equipment or in a gym. It’s an encouraging group and has really helped so far! Love it 💕 Thanks for the opportunity to be part of the fitness soul family remotely xxx

Enjoying the "Lean +Strong Challenge" as it's giving me a real fitness focus, pushing me out of my comfort zone in the run up to Christmas. Changing habits for 4 weeks and 🤞🏻some for longer. Great encouragement and support from Joannna, Leszek and the 'whatsapp' group. Excellent value for money and accessible from anywhere in the world🤗 Fitness Soul💪❤️🙏

Known about this place from long time, always encouraging and so positive! Signed up for Lean & Strong Challenge, workouts loaded on app, with no regrets, accessible to do at home whenever you can, and you can track your progressions , they also provide a support and motivation group! Highly recommend !:)
