Sophie’s Studio

Fantastic experience: As someone who has never used weights to train I was apprehensive when I first contacted Sophie. I knew that improving my strength and general fitness would benefit me and trying to go solo was just not working despite lots of apps and u tube videos. With Sophie professional high standards focussing on technique first and foremost I’ve gradually gained my confidence and am even practising some maintenance exercises in between my sessions. I’ve opted to have 1-1 rather than classes but that’s mainly down to my lack of confidence. I really can’t recommend Sophie enough as she really does want to work with you to help you be the best you can be. I’m definitely getting there - no matter your age or ability working with Sophie and committing to the programme will give you the results. We are worth it!!!

Fantastic experience: Are you lacking the confidence to join a gym? It was a tough decision for me to start any form of exercise as I thought I was too old at 59 & that I’d left it too late to step foot in a gym for the first time in my adult life. I was completely lacking in self esteem & confidence, but knew I needed to find a safe space regain the strength & muscle mass I lost during the menopause (& lose my ‘meno-belly’ ) in order to prepare myself for a strong, independent older age, I began searching for options… then I came across Sophie’s Studio - it took me nearly 2 weeks just to pluck up the courage to message her, so when I tell you that this is the best decision I’ve ever made for myself & that Sophie runs the least intimidating gym you can imagine, I don’t say that lightly!!! Just 4 months in I’ve grown beyond my wildest expectations in strength, confidence & self belief. Sophie’s gorgeous little ‘boutique’ style gym is an absolute gem, as is Sophie herself … there’s only ever a maximum of 4 people training at a time so you feel completely safe & looked after. Sophie is extremely thorough with her explanations, attention & patience. Yes, she’ll drive you to your absolute limit, but she will help, support & encourage you every step of the way & make sure that you’re carrying out each exercise with proper form - you’re in safe hands here. She also makes each session fun & you’ll leave feeling completely uplifted. In fact, everyone I’ve shared a session with has been so welcoming & supportive. I’ve even been to a couple of fun social events organised by Sophie, such a lovely bonus. So my advice is this: it’s never too late to start - Sophie has shown me that strength training is for absolutely everyone (her grandmother is a prime example of this). As you grow in physical strength you also grow in confidence, your clothes fit better & everyday life (carrying heavy shopping/grandchildren, gardening etc) becomes easier - do it now, wether you’re 18 or 80, you won’t find a better place to start than at Sophie’s Studio!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy Sophie's classes. Each workout in the class is creative, and as the classes are small this allows an almost 1:1 feel you would get with a PT. Totally recommend her classes for anyone wanting to get fit and stronger

Fantastic experience: I love training with Sophie. It’s a small supportive environment where you train with at most three other people. Sophie has helped me improve drastically and I am seeing so many results from session to session and in my appearance and figure. I feel the fittest and healthiest I have ever been and owe it all to Sophie. She is so knowledgeable and this is evident in her sessions, cannot recommend enough!!

Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend Sophie's Studio. It's a lovely set up, small non intimidating space and she provides personal training and advice in group or 1:1/1:2 sessions. It's a positive experience and a really good alternative to a busy gym. Sophie makes sure you are comfortable with the workouts and constantly provides advice and support for you no matter what stage you are at. I'm seeing great results since I've been going regularly and I enjoy every session.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I signed up with Sophie and I can’t recommend it enough to other people. Sophie is knowledgable, supportive and patient. The sessions are always fun and challenging in a positive way. The physical and mental health benefits from exercising consistently in structured sessions has made such a big difference for me and I have definitely gained a lot more strength training with Sophie than I would have on my own!

Fantastic experience: I've been doing the small group classes for a few months now and I've loved every single one. I would absolutely recommend Sophie as a PT and find her super supportive and motivating. The classes are brilliant, adapted for ability and you get the immediate feedback on form to make sure you're doing things right! Even when I have no motivation to work out I know that one of these classes with such a friendly group will put me in a much better mood and make me feel stronger

Fantastic experience: Sophie is an experienced PT with loads of knowledge. I have trained with her for over two years in various formats such as 1-1 PT sessions, group coaching, online coaching and classes and could not recommend her enough. She has helped me loose over 10kg and transform my fitness & nutrition habits

Fantastic experience: Not ever going to a gym before I was really nervous about starting something new , but I needed not to worry sophie makes you feel welcome and encourags you all the way. I've not been going long but it has helped with my mental health and confidence she understand when I'm finding something hard and adapts the way or how I do it , gives guidance all the way, in a small group of lovely people it's not intimidated at all I love going and will keep going as I'm feeling better and losing weight .
