lose the illusion that you’re already working hard enough
If you’re tired of gyms where you can hide in the back and pretend you’re working hard, this place is a terrible choice. The intimate group training means there’s nowhere to disappear, and the two coaches seem personally committed to discovering limits you didn’t know you had. Somehow they make being challenged feel motivating instead of mildly offensive.
The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and possess the rare talent of smiling while assigning exercises that make you question every life decision that led you to that moment. I’m fairly certain they consider your comfort a personal obstacle to overcome.
Small groups, great energy, and just enough suffering to keep you coming back. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get fitter and lose the illusion that you’re already working hard enough.
It’s a must!
Varied, fun, great people, great coaches!! Building WFS into your routine is a must. Thanks Vito and Harry!!
No waking up and dreading to go..
have been going to Weights for soul now for nearly two years, and the best decision I have ever made! Vito, Harry and the tribe really do make it feel a family - no clicky behaviour that you would see at the standard gym - we all lift each other up and encourage. I’ve never stuck at any form of exercise for this long, and that’s a testament to Weights for soul!
Weights 4 Soul - best gym experience
The coaches really care about the members of this gym. They are always on hand to help with the exercises, to make sure you don’t hurt yourself and to ensure you make the most of your time exercising.
I have never felt out of place at this gym, despite being an older lady carrying some excess weight!
All the members help and encourage each other, it’s a great place to come.
Personally I never leave the gym unhappy I always feel like I have let of something me steam from my day.
Best gym I have ever been to.
Back in February I decided I needed to…
Back in February I decided I needed to do something for me. I hadn’t really done much exercise since before my little one was born and I felt I needed someone to help me get back on track and take accountability. That’s when I came across weights for soul. I booked in for a video call and by the end of it I was really excited to start my 6 week challenge. There is an app which is easy to use where you can book sessions, track progress and you get weekly check ins and support as much or as little as you like. Vito and Harry were amazing and supported me to get to my goal by the end of the 6 weeks. Every one there is really friendly and it’s such a great community to be apart of ❤️
Fantastic sessions
Fantastic team, with an amazing group of people. The sessions are rotated often, with a mixture of Strength and Conditioning blocks built to push you to your limits.
You often work in pairs or groups, which can help keep you motivated to push harder and stronger 💪
Weights for Soul
I signed up for the Weights for Soul 6-week transformation programme. After not having done any exercise or set foot in the gym for 4 years due to a knee injury, I was very nervous about getting back into exercise. From my first session, Vito and the WFS tribe were so welcoming, everyone is very friendly and supportive taking into account my injury whilst training and listening to my concerns helping me to train correctly and not cause any further injuries. After 6 weeks I felt so much fitter, stronger and healthier. My relationship with exercise and nutrition changed. I continued my membership and now 2 years in, I've never felt better. My goal was never to lose weight but to gain the strength and health back that I lost during the time I didn't exercise. I look forward to many more years with WFS.
Thank you Vito, Harry & the WFS tribe!
I joined Weights for Soul in November…
I joined Weights for Soul in November 2024. It was the best decision I made for my health & fitness, I have seen so much progress with the help of Vito and his team. I started with the 6 week program and this was so helpful in getting a better understanding of the right nutrition and understanding how to fuel my body properly. There's so much misinformation out there and Vito's program really helps to give practical advice based on facts rather than diet trends.
I have never been able to stay consistent with my fitness and I wouldn't have believed a year ago that I would be turning up to the gym every week and staying consistent. This is all a testament to Vito, Harry & the rest of the team. They are super supportive, as are all the members, and everyone makes you feel welcome from the start. I would recommend this gym to anyone, but particularly those who have never felt comfortable in a traditional gym environment.
Highly recommend Weights for Soul!!
I cannot recommend Vito’s fitness programme enough! When I joined the 6 week challenge, I was heavier than ever, extremely unfit and unhealthy and my confidence/self esteem was pretty poor. Working from home since COVID created rubbish habits and then adding in hitting my 40’s sent me down even further. The hardest part was walking in the front door for my first gym session, but I needn’t have worried at all! Everyone is so welcoming, zero judgement and Vito is absolutely fantastic. It’s hard work but so much fun with it. The guidance you have on the 6 week challenge is great, every day there is more pointers to learn and ways to hold yourself accountable. I’ve lost 11lb and so many centimetres around my body, and I feel great! I am so much more confident already, and I’m just at the start of my journey with Vito and the rest of the crew! I’ve now joined the “tribe” and signed up to a year membership- who knew you could look forward to getting up at 5am multiple times a week! Thank you so much Vito, you total legend! 💪🏼
Become your best self!
Weights for Soul is all about community, we lift each other up, we inspire each other, we take the time to understand each other’s challenges, we encourage each other. Getting fitter and stronger is a by product of an environment that truly encourages us to be our best selves, both physically and mentally. I’ve lost count of the number of people who say “I’ve never stuck at any exercise routine before now”. Put your trust in Vito and Harry to help you be the best person you can be. Do yourself a favour and join us now.
It’s not just a gym, it’s a community
When I signed up for the six-week programme at Weights for Soul, I just wanted to get a bit stronger. This program ended up being a complete game-changer. It taught me about better habits in a way a quick diet never could.
A big win for me, was choosing to go first thing in the morning, a few times a week. That one hour, right before my day got crazy, became my reset button, no excuses. Getting it done early gave me an immediate "I did the thing" feeling and that carried through the rest of the day. It replaced that morning dread with real, solid energy and gave me the mental clarity I needed. And the longer I went, the more my confidence grew.
Weights for Soul is so much more than a gym. The support system is incredible. The instructors are the best—they coach you perfectly and always cheer you on without making you feel judged. But, the whole community is the true magic. There’s a very positive vibe that makes Weights for Soul a special place to train.
Joined Weights for Soul back in…
Joined Weights for Soul back in November 2024. I always struggled with accountability and hated going to the gym alone, unsure of what to do each day. Weights for Soul has been amazing; I’ve never stuck with a gym longer than two months before. Now, I find myself motivated, and Vito makes me feel so comfortable, transforming the gym from an intimidating place to a welcoming environment.
I love this place
I love this place. The people are great and like-minded. There is zero judgement just loads of encouragement and Vito is a fantastic coach.
Forming new habits for long term strength and fitness
When I signed up for the six-week body transformation program at Weights For Soul, I wasn't chasing a number on the scale, despite being overweight because I've always focused on that and this time needed to be different. With two children, a husband, and a demanding job that often takes me to London, my life is already a whirlwind. What I truly craved was to feel stronger, fitter, and to embed exercise as a non-negotiable part of my routine.
Now, I'm in week eight, and I haven't missed a single session (3x per week)! It hasn't always been easy – there are definitely mornings I arrive half-asleep, those early weeks where I could barely walk and hated Vito every time I had to lift a leg to climb the stairs to the tube – but I've made the time, adjusted my schedule, and I show up and get it done. It's incredible how the motivation grows as the habit forms. Those incremental differences, like better sleep, feeling more energised, and improved flexibility, truly make all the effort worthwhile and yes I did lose weight but many more inches!
The nutritional element of the program has also been a revelation. While I'm no angel and my love for often unhealthy food isn't going anywhere, I've found a sustainable balance. We now consciously eat cleaner during the week, and surprisingly, my need to snack has practically vanished! The best part is that there's no judgment for enjoying those less healthy options on the weekends. This program truly understands that it's my journey, and that acceptance has been key to my continued success. Oh! and 'we' I dragged hubby along too - its not gym just for ladies!
I can honestly and hole heartedly say…
I can honestly and hole heartedly say this tribe is one of the most amazing motivational and inspiring gyms I have ever been a part of. 9 months In i feel stronger, more confident in my own skin, and like I am on the path to an amazing journey ahead. My relationship with food and the gym has always been a struggle but Vito has show me that there is nothing scary you just have to want it to push for it and give it all you got. Every single person that steps through that door wither it be on the first day or the 1000th day is cheered on supported physically and emotionally, and brought together by one amazing coach.
I can't recommend WFS and Vito enough!
I can't recommend WFS and Vito enough! I just wish I had found this gym sooner. Before COVID, I used to go to the gym a few times a week, but for the past 4+ years, I've struggled to stay motivated, leading to weight gain and that constant feeling that I know I should be exercising, but couldn't break out of the rut.
Since joining six weeks ago, I actually look forward to working out and hate to miss a session when I'm away —something I haven't felt in a long time. Vito not only ensures you’re using the right form and challenges you to lift heavier, but he's also incredibly funny. We have a great time while getting stronger!
I've lost 8lbs (I probably would have lost more, but the six weeks fell during the Summer holidays, and weekend plans did slow me down a bit). The 6-week transformation program not only includes gym sessions but also offers online videos and nutritional support, which is really helpful when making lifestyle changes; this is done at a steady pace over the 6 weeks so as not to overwhelm you all at once.
Everyone at the gym is so welcoming and shares similar goals. After my transformation program ended, I didn’t hesitate to sign up as a Member.
If you're a complete beginner, or feeling stuck and want to make positive lifestyle changes, sign up—you won’t regret it!
Weights for Soul is the best!!
Vito, Holly and the team at WFS are incredible! I’ve never had any confidence going into a gym and always feel stupid, NOT at WFS, from the warm welcome, support and friendly people there, you never feel out of place, everyone helps everyone and I’ve never found myself working harder! If you want results, to feel better about yourself and be more confident in and out of the gym then look no further!!
Vito is the best!!
Personal trainer Vito from Weights for Soul has come to be the best trainer I could ever have found. He is going so far beyond my speciations in the quality of his training, his care for my personal training, his knowledge, the contagious enthusiasm of his training, and many more things. Joining Vito Tribe is the best thing I have done in 2023 and 2024!!!
I have became more confident in pushing my limits as I learned techniques from Vito that were customized for my conditions. I would recommend Vito to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall well-being with a dedicated and experienced trainer.
Absolutely brilliant trainer
