Lift: The Movement: Opinions
Fantastic experience: This is the best training I have ever experienced in my 50 years of living. Often struggled with aches and pains, but since training here been pain free. All the coaches are so knowledgeable and experienced. The classes are varied and tailored to different skill sets. Fully recommend!
Thanks for such a positive review! We can see you have left many before so to be ranked 5 stars by you is really appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Lift is an exceptional studio, built on sound principles of strength and mobility with benefits that carry over not into just other physical activities, but into daily life. Being physically fit and mobile all my life yet not being able to squat properly in 50 years, I was able to do so within two sessions and three weeks of steady application of movement drills, which is frankly just short of miraculous. The space is very friendly, very clean and instructors are all knowledgable, professional and consistent. It is a good place for any gender and ability and is especially beneficial for anyone recovering from injury (or not wanting to get one).
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a positive review Steph! We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Nice classes. Friendly place with lovely and knowledgeable instructors.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a good review. See you in the studio!
Fantastic experience: Awesome, challenging classes and great staff!
Thanks so much for the review Marites!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful movement space. All the right equipment you need to build a strong and functional body.
Thanks Claudia! So glad you enjoyed the space!
Fantastic experience: A great space, great staff and an all round great experience. Couldn’t recommend Lift more.
Thank Robert! Really appreciate you taking the time!
Fantastic experience: Very relaxed, friendly environment to train and build up skills. You can learn some gymnastics movements, they have rings, handstands, splits, pancakes, lower body classes. It's very good to increase strenght and mobility at the same time. Coaches are very nice and patient, they will tailor exercises based on your level, no pressure whatsoever. I have done a few classes and already seen massive improvements in exercise confidence and strenghts.
Thanks for the wonderful review! We’re so pleased that everything we stand for has come through during your experience. Good luck chasing those mobility, skill and strength goals!
Fantastic experience: Literally the best gym. Have been taking classes here for only 4 months and already feel so much stronger and healthier and, despite it not being the focus, have noticed visible difference in my physique. Their focus on flexibility and foundational core movements is such a nice change from the usual gym culture of just amping up the weight and intensity. The instructors are also all absolute gems, a pleasure to learn from, and I love their focus on steady and healthy progression. Just simply could not recommend this place more to anyone. The atmosphere is super welcoming and regardless of your age/physique/goals etc. I honestly believe that nothing but great can come from working out here!!
Alfie! You’re the man! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. See you for more gains next week!
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Lift highly enough. As a software engineer deeply immersed in BJJ, my journey with Lift began with a rebalance session, followed by private sessions with Fraser. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. I've witnessed significant improvements in my mobility, recovery, and overall quality of life. What sets Lift apart is its sustainable training approach, a stark contrast to my previous experiences with weightlifting-induced injuries. Their philosophy, starting from the ground up, addressing toes, ankles, core, and shoulders, has been a revelation. Rather than mindlessly pumping out reps of bicep curls, Ive found myself deeply engaged, gaining a profound understanding of my body and its intricate workings. Each session at Lift has been a journey towards appreciating how every body part contributes to the foundation of physical wellbeing. Integrating Lift sessions alongside my BJJ training has been a game changer. I urge anyone involved in martial arts or skill-based physical activities to explore what Lift has to offer. It's transformed my performance in ways I struggle to articulate fully.
Thanks so much for your kind words Tommy! We’re so pleased you’re seeing the value of what we do and applying it to your martial arts. Looking forward to seeing more progress!
Fantastic experience: Outstanding gym in London. Exactly what I needed. Was there for a week looking for strength and balance and they offer the best . Trainers are the just perfect, wish I had this back home
We’re so glad to have hosted you and look forward to your next visit. Thanks for the review.
Fantastic experience: I work in an office based job and over the years have developed tight hips and bad posture. Lift classes have been helping me with my shoulders and hips. Every time I finish one of their classes I feel refreshed. Atmosphere is lovely, people are so friendly and instructors are so knowledgeable. Keep the amazing work you guys are doing. What a great community!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a positive review Lax. We’re so glad our Regeneration programming is doing exactly what it’s designed to. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to develop good mobility
Thanks so much for your review Maxim. We're looking forward to working with you again when you return to London.
Fantastic experience: Great space, great people!
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
Fantastic experience: Mobility classes are brilliant, something I've been looking for for years!
Amazing - So glad we could fill that void!
Fantastic experience: Great studio with all the equipment needed. The instructors are really smart and know their stuff in my opinion, also really scalable classes!
Hi Andy, thank you for sharing your feedback.
Fantastic experience: These guys are changing people's lives. Coaches are very knowledgeable and truly care about each and every student, whatever their level of ability. Thank you Angus for creating this sanctuary!
Thank you for the kind words, we created Lift to help people achieve physical freedom and this kind of feedback means so much to us.
Fantastic experience: Amazing studio with super talented and experienced coaching staff. Definitely a must try! If I lived in London I would be there all the time! Jax was great!
Thanks for the review Jaime! We'll share your great feedback with Jax.
Fantastic experience: Joining Lift has been one of the most rewarding experiences and one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! The most dedicated group of elite trainers that invest so much time, energy and effort into your fitness journey. I’m so inspired every single time I step into this space The support that everyone offers and the community that they have built is truly unrivalled. All of this, set in a beautifully aesthetic space, with top notch programming and personalised plans for each member. These guys and gals are changing peoples lives. A massive thank-you to all the staff and trainers. Specifically Juan, Angus and Martin who have all individually given me confidence and continue to provide me with everything I could ever need to pursue my fitness goals. Truly the best investment to your health you will ever make!
Thom, thanks for trusting us with your training and providing your feedback. This is exactly the experience we’re trying to create and we couldn’t be happier with reviews like this. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Did two drop in HS classes whilst I was visiting London. Guillermo is an absolute weapon of a coach! Such an engaging teacher and despite the large class, he made the time for individual hands on cueing and direction throughout. Loved both classes & loved the set up of the space itself!
Hi Jess, thanks so much for this review. We'll let Guillermo know about your great feedback. We hope to see you again on your next visit to London.
Fantastic experience: At first look, it was a very challenging and hard, the exercises target your muscle core and your body strength. It is a great community to be in and motivated/ inspired me to get better everyday day! Last but not least, it is a very addictive exercises!
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to leave us a review. We really appreciate it and are super glad you've had such a positive experience at Lift!
Fantastic experience: I have been to Lift 3 times to try different classes, and so far, I have enjoyed it a lot and learned a lot. I intend to regularly visit the studio for some excellent coaching involving body movements. Drop in a visit to try it out folks
Vikas! Thanks so much for your positive review. We are so glad you've found our programme and teaching valuable. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I started in Lift only a couple of months ago and I knew from as soon as I stepped into the gym I would enjoy it. It’s a warm, friendly and welcoming environment that often times gyms lack - I came as a beginner to this type of training and felt everything was able to be adjusted to my ability. I started with a block of 1:1 with Fraser and learnt so much in a short space of time, and what aspects I needed to work on! I now attend the classes and have been loving them. I never really enjoyed classes I’ve tried before but this is different. It suits all skills and capabilities from beginner to advanced! The coaches there are so helpful, even within the class environment feels personalised as they are capped so they can help with form! Before I started I felt at a plateau with training because I didn’t know how to progress further, lift has thought me the fundamentals that I can now practice in and out of classes! Would definitely recommend Lift if you are interested in switching up your training and trying something new!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful review. We are so glad you're getting as much value as you are from your time with us. See you in the studio!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Lift. I work nearby and have attended three classes so far (rings, regeneration, and muscle ups), and I've genuinely enjoyed each one, feeling fantastic afterward. Whether you're looking to acquire a new skill or simply show some love to your body, I highly suggest paying Lift a visit. Juan and Fraser have been fantastic instructors, guiding me through various progression steps with patience and expertise. The entire team exudes friendliness, and the ambiance in the space is both inviting and serene.
Thanks for your review Layla, we really appreciate it! We’ll be sure to pass the feedback onto the guys. See you next time.
Fantastic experience: It is time to review now. Me and my wife have joined this gym about 6 weeks ago. Before we joined this gym, we have been training gym rings ourself since this January and my wife found Lift the movement. It has been the perfect place for us to train ring workout and handstand. All instructors are world class(you will agree if you see their performance!!!) and very professional and friendly. they are very happy to answer any questions about my forms and skills. I have done one ring muscle up properly(I was SO HAPPY!!!) and my wife has improved a lot in her handstand and ring workout. Personally I have been doing weight training and running marathons for long but I do really love this trainings and there are so many perpermances I love to learn.(Also you will gain very good muscle) Strongly recommend to anyone at any age(I am over 50)! You will love it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review. So glad that we were able to get you your muscle up and we look forward to seeing more success from you and your wife. See you in the studio :)
Fantastic experience: Lift is has a fresh approach to training in classes, with excellent coaches that have both a playful and disciplined teaching style. Their classes encourage greater self awareness whilst building strength, flexibility and mobility... Whilst challenging us by developing calisthenic skills. I love being part of the lift community and the movement that is happening here.
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a positive review Autumn. We’re glad you’re enjoying the journey so far!
Fantastic experience: Lovely location. Well situated. Well equipped for calisthenics
Thanks for the review Mairtin, we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Angus fixed my back when everyone else failed. Legend.
We couldn't be happier to hear that kind of progress. Thanks for the review Charlie
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and staff. Favourite gym in London, by far.
Lorina, thank you for the review
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with attentive instructors. Very clean and inviting.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
Fantastic experience: Amazing setup for the centre of London with high quality teachers, events and community.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Mike
Fantastic experience: Expert trainers who really know their stuff. Classes are unique and spot on
Thanks Chris, we really appreciate the positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: Awesome concept! Like having your own physio every day. Functional training made fun. I would highly recommend that you give it a go.
Thanks for the review Tim
Fantastic experience: Angus has been offering one to one coaching for me for some months now . His expertise and skill has really helped my mobility and strength .
Thanks so much for leaving us a review.
Fantastic experience: Recently started PT with Angus, 5 sessions in, I already feel more aware of my body and improvements are easily noticeable. Highly recommended.
Sinan, it's been great training with you and thank you for the positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: The best in London. As a professional this is the place to practice. Beautiful space, wonderful community, great vybe. Perfect to train / shoot quality videos. AND the coaches are amongst the most dedicated and knowledgeable out there. Top spot only getting better and better.
Harry, thanks so much for this review. It means a lot to have such great feedback from other professionals in our industry.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a challenge, Lift: The Movement is the place to go. The knowledge, the passion, the motivation and the energy are incredible. Friendly teams and very helpful. Angus has created a perfect place to support you to achieve your goals. Thank you again for all your help.
Philippe, thank you for this incredibly review and thank you for choosing to train with us. We're so glad we could help you in achieving your goals.
Fantastic experience: I bought one of the online tutorials to learn some basic gymnastics and was so impressed that I bought almost the entire library. As a fitness professional myself, I was very impressed with the technical aspect of the instructions but also the fact that a non-fitness professional could easily follow along too. Highly recommend
Hey Steven, thanks so much for trying out our video library and for leaving this review. It's incredible to hear such positive feedback about our videos.
Fantastic experience: I had my first class at Lift 6 weeks ago, like then, and still now, it feels like home - it's a nurturing and soul-nourishing space - trainers' guidance, support, and incredible knowledge, take you to new levels, alongside with their encouragement and humility. Each class is an experience of self-discovery. I go to Lift daily, and it's the highlight of my day. The last several weeks have been personally transformative for me, and my own motto is: "Lift is uplifting". Also, fellow members have the same positive spirit as the space. I'm connecting with my authenticity because of Lift! Heartfelt thank you to all : )
Reviews like this mean so much to us, this is the environment we're striving to create and it's fantastic to hear this kind of feedback. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, see you at the next class.
Fantastic experience: You have to try a workout at this place to understand why so many people have come in with a 5 star rating. While I don't mind going to the gym to lift weights every now and then, I don't find it particularly enjoyable. Lift, on the other hand teaches you to develop control and move your body - which is not only a great workout but it makes you feel good about yourself. I've taken 3 trial sessions so far with Kat, Jax and Mayoor and they have all been delightful! I recommend this place without hesitation.
Thanks so much for your review Pragun. We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I came to Lift just wanting to learn to handstand, but have continued to train here because I have gained more than I ever imagined! Training with Angus for the last few months has exceeded my expectations. He has given me the best support and personal attention to any needs, injuries, and weaknesses while helping me reach my goals. Combined with a Rebalance session with Shannon, I now feel stronger, more coordinated, more aligned, and better than ever before - I feel like my body has been put back together in the correct order and is beginning to move properly for the first time in my life. These benefits have majorly translated into my training outside of Lift, helping me to see improvements in any other physical activity I do. I am also so thankful to have found them now and for the knowledge I have gained, as I know these skills will help me prevent any injuries later on and benefit me for life! The beautiful space and positive vibe of the studio/all the teachers is refreshing and so welcoming! Finding Lift and training with Angus has been a life-changer. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!
Jessica, reviews like this are why we do what we do. Thanks for trusting us to guide you in your training.
Fantastic experience: This is a very special place. What they are teaching is what I wish I had learned long ago - the fundamentals of movement. They are granular in their approach and forensic in their attention to detail. And it works. I'm only in my first week and so my impressions are still new - but they're formed enough to know that I made the right choice. Instructors really know their stuff. Class sizes are small. The attention paid to you is enough to make sure you can't get away with poor form. It's really challenging - and really gentle at the same time. Can't recommend it enough.
Reviews like this are the reason we do what we do. Thank you for the detailed review and we look forward to seeing you in more classes!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful space with fantastic coaches.
Thank you Jacqueline for taking the time to leave us a review.
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful gyms I've ever stepped foot in
Thank you for the amazing feedback Kate
Fantastic experience: Really cool approach to fitness. high quality coaches & gym

Fantastic experience: So love this place . I love the atmosphere and the philosophy of this place and team . Definitely recommend it
Lucie, thanks so much for the great review. Lots of work has gone into creating the atmosphere and ethos at Lift and we're so pleased it is being well received.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place with nice amenities and modern looks
Thanks Rene, we're gad you enjoyed the space.
Fantastic experience: The best studio for those who are working on strength and mobility. Highly recommend to try handstand and splits classes.
Thank you Aleksei, we really appreciate the positive review and hope to see you in class soon.
Fantastic experience: All the teachers are great ! Mr Pep, Corrine, Victor and Angus!!
Thanks Kelsey, we’ll pass your great feedback on to the team.
Fantastic experience: I've been searching for somewhere like this for years! It felt like home the minute I walked in. It's a holistic and technical approach to movement that I don't think exists anywhere else. The teachers and team are incredible and the beautiful surroundings take it to the next level I'm already seeing progress and it's only been a few weeks. Couldn't recommend it more.
Damien, thank you for the kind words and taking the time to leave us a review. We're so glad you feel welcome in the space and are getting the results you want.
Fantastic experience: Top place. Beautiful space. Amazing teachers. They have put together a really smart approach to building strong and durable bodies.
Thank you for the review Richard
Fantastic experience: Lift is one of a kind! They've created a space where you're able to meet like minded individuals with a high level of expertise to help you achieve your goals. Whether that's learning skills with the rings, learning to do a handstand or just move better they've got something for everyone. Looking forward to the next class.
Thanks for the fantastic review.
Fantastic experience: Two weeks in and loving the attention to correct alignment and mobility. Lower body conditioning and shoulder regeneration w/ Viktor done with precision and focus! The classes they have here are sorely lacking at my usual gym. Great community feeling!
Reviews like this mean a lot to us, thank you Philip.
Fantastic experience: A special and amazing place! Exactly what I've been looking for - knowledgeable and inspirational trainers who explain things well and pay close attention to your movements and are passionate about helping you improve. All this in a beautiful, light and airy purpose-built space that has all you need for fixing (and moving) your body and building skills in a safe way.
Thanks for the review Rachel
Fantastic experience: Amazing, specialist training facility in Shoreditch. I’ve been training for 20 years but couldn’t believe how much I learned from Angus in just 1 hour. If you want to train in a way that is completely unique and be around good people I would throughly recommend.
Will, it's reviews like this that really motivate us to do what we do. Thank you for choosing Lift and for leaving such great feedback.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing space! Attended a pancake/hips class last week and I have never felt more mobile, open, and aligned with my body. Dan was an incredible instructor - so knowledgeable and passionate. Thoroughly enjoyed the session, learnt so much and I will 100% be back for more - I wish Bath had a Lift studio!!
Kiera, thanks so much for making the journey to try Lift and for leaving us such a great review. We can't wait to see you again and we will pass your feedback on to Dan.
Fantastic experience: A very delayed and very much deserved 5* review! After more than a year of training at Lift, I wanted to say a big thank you to Angus and the whole team, for creating such an amazing space, community and sharing their vast knowledge and energy! I learned my body, found a new way of training and passion and met unique people! Thank you!!!
Greg, thank you for supporting Lift this past year, we wouldn't be here without dedicated members like yourself.
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful that I found Lift's online classes during lockdown. They not only helped me see huge progress in my training but the classes gave me structure and focus during a tough time. The team are friendly and there is a welcoming family like vibe. All of the trainers have extensive knowledge and a true passion for what they do-they really want to see you progress and achieve your goals. Thank you to everyone at Lift and I hope to see you face to face one day soon!
Thank you so much for the positive review, we couldn't be happier to hear how the online classes have helped you during this past lockdown. We are re-opening the gym on April 12th and hope to see you there.
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing space and the classes are the best I have found in London
Thanks for the kind words Sam, we're stoked you're enjoying the classes and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, amazing clases and nice people.
Thank you for the review, we really appreciate that you took the time to share your experience.
Fantastic experience: one of the best gym I visited in London. Amazing staff and cool interior.
Thanks for the great feedback Junaid, it means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic space. Very humbling experience with expert coaches and a real focus on movement precision and proper technique. For anyone interest in Calisthenics or switching up their routine, I couldn't recommend more.
Thanks Tom, great to have you as part of Lift!
Fantastic experience: Im currently a trainer at Lift and could not be happiler with the space, the students and the atmosphere. It’s different from anywhere else in London and if you’re looking for a way to try something new and challenging I would absolutely recommend doing a trial class
Thanks James. You're an asset to the team!
Fantastic experience: Very good instructors and great facilities. Great to develop a very good technique for strength conditioning and mma skills
Thanks Gabi, we’re so glad our training is helping you develop your other skills.
Fantastic experience: Was a great experience, particularly as a beginner starting off into bodyweight related activities. The instructors are very relaxed, welcoming and motivating and the space is awesome. Will definitely be back!
Pano, we're so glad you enjoyed your first class and can't wait to train with you again.
Fantastic experience: Angus and the team have created a revolutionary approach to fitness. The focus is (correctly, in my opinion), not on lifting heavy weights with disregard for technique - it is the opposite. The majority of the exercises are bodyweight focussed and maximum attention is given to form. The result is a workout that is more demanding and better for you than any other gym class I have been to in London (I have been to many (15+) of the well known brands/studios in Central London). If you strip away the beautiful, peaceful aesthetic you're left with a studio that is committed to future proofing its clients' bodies. I imagine these classes would work well alongside your traditional HIIT / strongman / etc classes; they don't have to be a replacement, just a crucial addition. You'll feel muscles you forgot you ever had - the perfect antidote for days spent sitting down. The big benefit is small class sizes so you get individual attention - the concept wouldn't work otherwise due to the importance placed on technique. By learning how to do even well known exercises properly you get your biomechanics firing. I'm looking forward to getting more involved. Practical points: - only a handful of changing rooms / showers so most people I imagine come already changed. - towels / toiletries provided - large open space (with rings, plyo boxes, pull ups bars) to do your own training / warm ups (for members and immediately before or after a class). - attractive kit - design is obviously important to the brand!
Tom, thank you for leaving us such a positive and detailed review.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Beautiful studio, with great coaches. Even from distance with the on line classes Angus and Pep are giving precise details and personal attentions that you know how to correct yourself or what to work on to improve. Thanks guys!
Thanks Catia. Its a pleasure to coach you!
Fantastic experience: If you want to play, feel challenged and full of endorphins, this is your studio. Home to some of the best calisthenics/mobility teachers in LDN who excel at their craft. Sign up - you won’t regret it.
Thanks for the great review Georgina, we are so grateful for your support.
Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful space to learn from some of the most passionate and thoughtful trainers. Angus who runs the space is an absolute babe and makes sure his teachers are on point and delivering the best quality classes. His new teacher @mr__pep (insta) runs a re:gen class on weds 6pm which is perfect for anyone looking to improve their mobility ranges from someone who understands what they are doing and how to get the best out of his students. Looking forward to trying more classes!
Chandani thanks so much for your support, we're passionate about what we do and so glad you're enjoying the classes. We'll pass on your feedback to the team.
Fantastic experience: There’s a great vibe a Lift! All teachers are very attentive, and highly skilled. My particular favourites are Regen with Pep - who noticed immediately that as a hypermobile person I need so much more strength and not just flexibility, and Handstand with Angus - a tough class but he explains handstands in a really helpful way.
Thanks for the review Natasha, we're glad your finding the training both challenging and rewarding. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Such a nice online handstand class yesterday with Angus Martin. He is very knowledgeable and professional. We were quite a lot in the class, but he was correcting and checking in everyone. I found very useful to understand what I was doing wrong in my self practice . Now I know where I have to focus to keep improving. Thank you
Thank you for your kind words Rocio. We're glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic experience: Lift is a new generation studio where a great team of instructors lead a variety of classes to improve movement, posture and body awareness. Founders Angus and Elliot are extremely knowledgable and very passionate about educating people about precise training and correcting the defects our daily urban habits are causing. I would strongly advise to try any of the classes at Lift no matter what fitness level and age you are. These guys and their team will give you the best support and personal attention to any needs, injuries, weaknesses and help you achieve to be the best versions of yourselves.
Thanks for the positive feedback Izzet
Fantastic experience: Total awesomeness. If you want to try something different to yoga, and want to give the little muscles a run for the money this place is for you. Amazing coaches, and not some crazy testosterone fuelled environment. Good for all genders and levels. The hand stand class has been game changer for me. How to workout and have fun...
Yannick, thanks so much for his awesome review. We really appreciate it and it goes a long way to helping us grow as a business. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: A great studio with an awesome vibe. A unique and intimate environment that encourages self expression and fun. Angus and Pep both carry a wealth of knowledge, be sure to check out their hand stand class for an enjoyably challenging workout!
Thanks for the great feedback Josh! Welcome to the family.
Fantastic experience: Almost reluctantly telling the world how amazing this place as I want it all to myself. Not only does it look how I would design my ideal fitness space, the trainers are highly skilled and very knowledgeable. It is also really enjoyable to learn new skills as well as gaining strength and reversing out years of ‘desk damage’. This is not a get big quick place but somewhere to develop real deep all round flexibility and control....Book yourself in!
Thanks for your kind words Mark. The place wouldn't be what it is without people like you!
Fantastic experience: I've visited LIFT on numerous occasions and I can't say enough good things about it. Aside from the fact that Angus and the rest of the movement trainers are really passionate about what they do, they also really know what they're talking about. With an incredible attention to detail and a deep desire to educate, correct and improve, LIFT is the perfect place to become a better all around mover. LIFT is a very special place and I look forward to every session knowing that I'll come away feeling better, stronger and full of more amazing knowledge about moving better.
Thank you for your kind words Karima. We're glad that Lift has resonated so strongly with you. See you next time!
Fantastic experience: Lift: The Movement is hands down THE place to be in London with regards to handstand, rings, calisthenics, etc. Not only is the space beautifully designed but also the founder and all of his team are super cool people and they make you feel at home. Also, everyone is so passionate about teaching and you'll definitely improve your skills a lot at lift. Whenever I am in London, lift is where I'll be around. So much love for that place!
Anina, we can’t thank you enough for supporting us and leaving such a positive review.
Fantastic experience: Excellent studio and attention to detail. First of all the coaches are passionate, patient and fully prepared to coach the experienced and beginners. I found the classes very helpful to work on shoulder strength and overall mobility which can be combined with any sort of training routine you do (Crossfit in my case). Highly recommend signing up regardless of what you do. The studio is very clean and beautiful.
Thanks for the review Yasir, we appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: Amazing classes and an Amazing Angus. One of the best teachers I have come across in a very very long time! I was impressed within the first few minutes of my first class with Angus - his attention to detail is remarkable, his cues and passion are like no other in the market. I've tried various classes here and they are all great fun - you simply can't go wrong, for all levels of fitness - you wont want to leave this place.
Thank you for the kind words Mobina, we're passionate about what we do and reviews like yours mean so much to us.
Fantastic experience: Can't fault Lift. I've tried classes with both Angus and Pep and they've changed my gymnastics performance for the better. They have amazing tips and tricks for handstands and have so much knowledge when it comes to mobility too. Thank you guys for keeping me motivated and inspired during these times! Cannot recommend them enough.
Thanks for your kind words Kalia, you're an asset to the community!
Fantastic experience: LIFT: The Movement... where do i start!!! Luckily enough to have come across this gym as my Personal Trainer introduced me... First of all the gym, the space itself is clean and filled with beautiful natural light! I feel nostalgic training here having done gymnastics as a child, They have it all....Rings, paralettes, wall bar, free weights (Chalk for your hands :) if you need it ). Trying re-learn Gymnastics as a adult after a decade out is tough but having only attended 4 Handstand classes so far, I can honestly say I have learnt more in these four sessions than years of me attempting it by myself at home. Angus has so much passion for what he does, Sharing his technical expertise and the attention to detail is the best i have come across, this is no ordinary gym. Having spent years working hunched over a desk and day to day.. in this space i can truly move, focus on my mobilty.. strength and regeneration. There is plenty of other amazing people within this gym, all pushing there boundaries and working on themselves, great to watch and see some amazing Handstands, Calisthenics... ...certainly inspires you. Thank you guys for helping me improve and inspiring me each week. I have no doubt I will keep coming back.....I can only imagine what skills I will be able to achieve over the coming months.
Jade, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We love how passionate and enthusiastic all of our members our about the Lift vision. See you in the studio!
Fantastic experience: Lift is one of a kind and somewhere I would highly recommend to people. I have known Angus, the owner of Lift, for a couple of years and we have developed a good working professional relationship where we are confident to refer clients to one another knowing that they are in safe hands. He is much more than your standard personal trainer and looks at the body holistically and strives to get the most from your physical strengths. The handstand, rings and regen classes are brilliant and cater for all abilities and because they are small groups, you get attention to detail. My clients are firm believers in his methods and have seen good results in a short space of time and will be long term customers.
Thanks for supporting us Mark, we appreciate the referrals and your review.
Fantastic experience: Amazing classes that really focus on body awareness and being conscious of every specific body movement and muscle engaged. You really learn to listen to your body and be extremely patient - most of the skills taught require a lot of dedication and consistency. They are skills that could take months to achieve so it's best to be taught by experts like the coaches at Lift to make the process most effective! Did a few classes with Peppe, mainly handstand related - strongly suggest to try them! Great experience and great coaching. The process is very vocal, which is great because he really guides you step by step often giving also different progressions depending if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced.
Thank you for your kind words Leonardo! We're looking forward to welcoming you back.
Fantastic experience: After a bit of a search, and at the recommendation of a fellow martial artist, I have found the studio offering the perfect combination of classes to acquire strength, conditioning and functional movement skills. I hope more people get educated on the correct training before they get irreversible injuries/ physical limitations. No matter whether one does not participate in any sports, or does recreational sports, or is a professional athlete / instructor, this kind of training should be an essential part of the training and body maintenance regime. After a long time of high intensity high impact competitive training, and sustaining heavy injuries, one can easily recognise quality training and instructor's skills. LIFT MOVEMENT has got it! I think the Founders are passionate about their creation because they want to give their clients the support and the knowledge they themselves did not have access to during their own early engagement in sports activities. It is not about heavily stomping the ground for hours, repetitive movements with incorrect motion or posture, sweating buckets and feeling like you have been in the wars after completing training session - unfortunately this kind of training is offered by most commercial gym "trainers" and still makes most people feel "good" in a short term. It is about being guided by an instructor to acquire a certain skill and a correct technique, so your body serves you in whatever you wish to achieve on a daily basis and in the long run. It is about not feeling fragile after sustaining injuries, which are sometimes inevitable and part of many impact sports activities. And, as strange as it sounds, the way to achieve it is to "get off your feet" and practice gymnastic rings, handstand, ground work, core stability and functional movements of the hips. Angus and Elliot created the perfect combination. Instructors at LIFT definitely know what they are doing, deliver sessions in an effortless way, are supportive of personal needs, and are able to accommodate all levels. Very pleasant and friendly environment. Look forward to the next week training!!!
Elena, we can’t thank you enough for such a positive review, your support means a great deal to us.
Fantastic experience: Awesome Studio. Cannot recommend Lift Movement enough, coaching from the team is first class, they will highlight deficiencies and put you on a path to become a better version of you. The studio space is first rate with rings, stall bars [hard to find at most gyms], palettes, free weights...every thing you need. I achieved my first muscle up here so enough said.
David, we're so stoked you got your first muscle up with us and will pass on your great feedback to the team.
Fantastic experience: Gorgeous space, great instructors.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Lorna, we really appreciate it.

Thanks for your feedback Poppy.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful space offering the best classes and instructors I've found in London. Couldn't recommend it enough!
Thanks Jack, we appreciate the recommendation.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful studio and really knowledgable trainers. After just a few classes I’ve already made progress in both my handstand and general mobility. Challenging but also really fun!
Thanks for the review Jenny, it's awesome to see you progress in a short amount of time.
Fantastic experience: Spacious studio, knowledgeable teachers and a friendly environment. Pretty much the opposite to the mainstream fitness gyms. Awesome place were attention to detail and quality is more important than quantity!
Thanks for the positive feedback, that's exactly the environment we want to create.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing space to learn more about body movement! There are not enough places like this in London that offer classes on mobility, strength and flexibility. Staff are great and clearly know their stuff when it comes to teaching movement and fitness!
Thanks for the feedback Stefan, we try to be different and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, it really helps us grow.
Fantastic experience: To start off.. there is nowhere like this. Breaking it down: - Gym interior: It's impeccably finished down to the last T. The bathrooms/showers are spotless with a matt black finish. Hard clean flooring in the entrance with a lovely open gym space. It has floor to ceiling glass windows at the front and back so it feels light and spacious. Even the lettering on the windows creates a shadow saying LIFT on to the gym floor which is pretty cool- thought of everything. -Gym classes: There's a wide variety of classes and it's for all levels truly. From Ju jitsu, to body movement and flexibility. You can stay in shape, healthy and flexible. You'll learn new skills and I guarantee it will make you feel good about yourself. - Trainers: Lastly they're all incredibly friendly and down to earth. They know their stuff. They all have different skills to teach you so you won't get bored. Definitely the attention to detail that hits you immediately from the gym interior is reflected in the way they train you. Overall, I am not disappointed, I'd recommend it to anyone even if it's just to drop in.
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a positive review, we appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Angus and Elliot for being very welcoming everytime I visit your studio. I love training at Lift and I feel so good in my body after each session. I already told you that but I feel that more people need to know so I am giving you 5 stars on Google :) I will recommend Lift for sure!
Thanks for the recommendations Catherine, we really appreciate it and it helps us continue to grow. See you soon for another class.
Fantastic experience: Cool, aesthetic space which provides something different and unique to any of the gyms I’ve trained in before. Both Angus and Elliot know their stuff and within only a few sessions I was seeing massive improvements! If you're bored of the same old workout routine and want to develop skills you never knew you had... this is the place for you!
Thanks for the review Matt, means a lot to us.
