LIFT STUDIO LDN: Opinions

5/5 (80 Opinions)
Lea Vee 1 year ago

Negative experience: For what they charge you would expect that their communication skills with their customers would be top notch but it's the absolute opposite. After constantly reducing their gym time, yet keep charging the same amount every 4 weeks I sent an email complaining about that matter and lack of communication I got an email straight away that they are cancelling my membership. After saying that that's not what I was asking for I had to wait for more than 24 hours to get a response from someone else who could handle the situation a lot better and slightly more professional and we made an agreement to at least extend my membership until the end of the month. Yet then they took off all the gym time from the schedule again without actually contacting their members so I had to find a different gym last minute that does day passes to fit in my trainings for that week. The only good thing about the studio are some of the well experienced PTs but I highly recommend booking them privately rather than paying insane money for a program that doesn't include any nutrition knowledge or cardio. The owners should care more about improving their customer service and communication rather than making instagram posts. Seems like all they care about is money.

Hey Lea thank you for sharing your feedback. We have to admit, as two women trying to navigate owning a business, we cant help but genuinely feel disappointed that one, you feel so let down and two, that you didn't feel you were able to come to us personally, when we pride our whole ethos in keeping the business personal where clients can whats app us and be open. We have always been available and open to feedback and conversation. We aren't a Corp company doing what Corp companies do, we are really, learning on the job and respectfully try to always put our clients first.There would be endless ways to make more money in this business by profiting off doing things that genuinely hurt women, like selling fat loss, "cardio" when people can walk for free, 45 min hiit without form checks in crowded sessions...So on a human level we are just super saddened that you feel the way you do, about a service that isn't our main service and an extra we wanted to try and provide as best we could. We genuinely value your input and would like to address your concerns as we had hoped we had done over email. As our only "Gym Time/studio hire" member, you expressed dissatisfaction with the limited availability of off-peak sessions that suited your schedule. We understood your frustration and took your feedback seriously.After careful consideration, we decided to discontinue this service to better align with our commitment to providing high-quality experiences for our members.To express our appreciation and for any inconvenience caused we offered the following:✔️A backdated refund of 2 months at £60 a month totalling £120✔️One month of free membership (£60) to give you ample time to find an alternative gym that better suits your needs✔️Option to book manually for the last 2 days as the system stopped all sessions on a 4 week basisWe apologise for the 24-hour delay in responding to your concerns. We wanted to take the time to give your dissatisfaction credence and offer you something we hoped would help. We now have an auto response to help with response expectations and although less personal we hope it helps with the delay it takes us as a two woman band, to respond. Regarding our small group PT sessions which the last we spoke you said you were really enjoying, albeit a different service to "gym time" you were at first upset about, we wanted to address this. We appreciate your feedback on the pricing, however find that starting at £17 per session for small group PT is rather competitive, especially in London and we always endeavour to offer more than "just exercise" Our goal is to provide a comprehensive experience that includes ✔️building strength✔️boosting confidence✔️developing new skills.Along with a an environment that feels like a community of strong women cheering each other on. We hoped this is what enabled you to move onto Gymtime training alone after doing a block of the small group PT with our amazing coaches. As a specialised strength training gym, our programs focus on structured training sessions without cardio equipment or open commercial gym vibes. But a more personal nuanced offering. Nutritional support is available through various resources at no additional cost including:✔️Workshops regularly on nutrition✔️Guides, zoom recordings✔️Weekly podcast ✔️1-on-1 check-ins with clients who need/want extra guidanceIn addition, we offer a separate personalised nutrition coaching service.We're glad you had positive experiences with our PTs. They're an integral part of our team, and we're proud of their expertise. We're continually working to maintain the same level of quality across all areas of our service which is why it made sense to cancel Gymtime.Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your feedback will help us grow and improve as we try to provide the best possible experience for our valued members

Fantastic experience: I’m in my tenth week with Lift and can safely say I’m hooked! It’s a brilliant space and everyone there is so supportive and welcoming. All of the trainers are really knowledgable and are your biggest cheerleaders. I know I’m going to leave every session feeling physically and mentally stronger, and can’t wait to continue learning more!

Jennifer C 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out with Lift for about 4 weeks. I’m really enjoying the programme. I’ve made lots of progress and have found all the trainers to be super attentive and knowledgeable.

Katie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve ever been to! Lift studio makes working out fun, I’ve seen great progress after being there for only 4 weeks! Would always struggle getting motivated to go to the gym, I’m so excited to tend my sessions it makes staying consistent easy

Stefanie Bartlog 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was only an active member for about 3 month as I left London after that, and if someone had told me before I joined that a gym and it's coaches and members would be one of the things I'd miss most when moving out of London, I wouldn't have believed it - but it's true. Lift is a very special place with amazing people who celebrate each others progress. The class sizes are perfect, the coaches so knowledgeable, the community is extremely strong, and the programmes are well thought out. It's just a wonderful place.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this gym for over a year and this is the longest I've committed to any gym. All the personal trainers are fantastic, offer amazing support and always push you to the best of your ability, taking into account any injuries you may have and always offer modifications. This is also a safe space as it's ladies only so you don't hear any jargon or 'mansplaining'. All the ladies have formed a lovely little community and are all so friendly.

Anna Louise Youngs 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It's the women that really make this place. The founders, the trainers AND the members. Everyone here has genuinely changed my life, I've never loved training more. My body and mind have never been this healthy and I'm incredibly grateful for this space. If you are anxious, nervous or scared this is the place for you because you'll be greeted with warmth, laughter and respect. Lifting, dancing and giggling — what a dream!

Meg Nosal 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The happiest fitness studio on the planet. If you're on the fence about joining or reaching out this is your sign to take the leap. Wish I could give this place more stars because its absolutely a 10/10

Kirsteen Cardno 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for over a year now and can say my experience here has been amazing! The coaches really make this place; they are super helpful and encourage you to push yourself beyond your own mindset. The community feel of this gym is what makes it special. When I first joined, it wasn't something that I thought I needed, but after being here for some time, I can't imagine not having it. All the women here cheer you on and lift you up when needed. I lifted weights for 9 years before joining this gym; however, I've never managed to achieve as many gains on my own. My strength and confidence have improved so much, couldn't recommend this gym enough!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym - love it. Amazing attention to form and teaching; confidence building to lift safely. Fun, kind, and a great place to connect with other women. What more can I say? Thanks #liftingover60

Nicky Bradbury 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I never expected to look forward to going to a gym and to miss it when I can’t go but that’s me now. I wanted to start strength training after a couple of years recovering from operations and injuries and this place has been a game changer. Run by two wonderfully committed owners with a team of amazing encouraging coaches I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Emily Sullivan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Lift Studio LDN just has something special. Many members join to learn how to strength train but stay for so much more. There is a real community vibe at this women's only gym and as much as we love weight lifting, we love chatting to. It's a great place for your physical and mental health. Whether you want to be pushed to pick up a heavier weight, perfect your technique or just fancy a natter, the coaches are great at meeting you where you are that session with no expectation or judgement. Danni and Mimi have done a fantastic job at creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and accepted, regardless of their fitness level or background.

Sharmin Laila Frehat 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've always found gyms difficult to attend but I really feel nurtured and supported at Lift Studio. The trainers are all so knowledgeable and they break down the technique so you get it right and the most out of the workouts. I feel stronger and healthier and there is always someone to ask questions. I'm so glad I joined and I feel really happy when I go to my class. Its worth every penny and has transformed my life. Really looking forward to making more progress! Thanks lift studio london!! ❤️

Vibrant Living Coaching 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Discovering Lift Studio Ldn has been a total joy. A women’s only lifting gym is a beautiful experience - the atmosphere is welcoming, community is strong and inclusive, it’s always clean and everything is well considered with a wide range of people in mind. Strength training is key to longevity and health at all ages and what better place to train.

Lauren Lewis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym owned and taught by even more fantastic women. Small sized classes for individual time and attention. Teachers meet you where you're at but encourage challenging yourself. I've been very pleasantly surprised by how much I can do and for the first time actually look forward to going to the gym. Much appreciated ladies.

Sophia Zeren 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've never felt safer and more supported than at Lift. All the coaches embody everything you'd hope for in a trainer—knowledgeable, positive, encouraging, supportive and amazing funny women!! The workouts are not only effective but also enjoyable... (I know .. enjoyable !!!!)—I never imagined I'd find working out fun, let alone lifting weights! If you've ever felt held back by the typical gym environment, this is the place for you. Personally, I used to be too anxious to even consider going to a gym, so much so, I brought a friend along for my first trial session. As we left, we were planning our next visit, her upcoming week was pretty packed, and what stopped us walking in the middle of the road was when I said "You know what? I'm comfortable scheduling my next session for when you're unavailable!" Now, I don't think I've ever missed a week... Except for a realllly bad hangover! I truly have gained from coming here and I never want to leaveeee! Ps the community of women here are an amazing bonus... Deadlifting with a side of life updates and stories, its the perfect match!

Rachel Gallimore 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym! Very welcoming and easy to get your head around (for the non-gymmers!!) for anyone who has been overwhelmed by an open commercial gym, this is the place for you! Sounds cheesy but it’s such a great sense of community and makes you actually look forward to working out because of the social side. It’s women only and there is absolutely no judgment! I love it

Dinisha Cherodian 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started at Lift thinking I just needed a kick start and some help learning to lift, and yes I definitely got that. But what I didn't realise I'd get so much more, a whole community of fun, intelligent, kind women. And so here I am still with Lift a year and 2 months later, I'm booked in for the hike and retreat and I look forward to every session because I know it will be fun and motivating.And there's a very real possibility of a dog joining the sessions

Mia Arciero 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love this women’s only gym so much! The owners, Mimi and Danni, are 2 of the nicest, coolest people you’ll ever meet, and what they have created here at Lift is amazing! All the trainers are so knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful. Plus listening to r&b/pop/garage when you work out makes everything way more fun! I am in awe and inspired by all the other strong, confident women who attend the classes, and feel lucky to be a part of this community.

Caroline Quinn 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Lift - if you want to feel stronger, more confident, supported by an amazing group of coaches and community of fellow members in a safe, welcoming and thoughtfully designed environment, you need to get yourself on the studio waitlist ASAP! I signed up for the 4 week kick-start programme having never lifted or really done any strength training before and after two weeks was loving it so much I signed up for another 16 weeks. I've been wanting to get into strength training for ages but always been put off by the "gymtimidation" factor of feeling like I'd be judged by a load of muscly gym bros, and worried about injuring myself. Training at Lift has made me feel for the first time in my life like strength training is for me, and for everyone, whatever size and shape you are and wherever you're starting from. Oh and the playlists are absolutely BANGING!

Felicity Garrard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joining lift london has honestly been life changing. The coaches are genuinely the best I’ve ever worked with and the community that they are cultivating truly is a beautiful thing. The studio has become my safe space (even at 6:45am) somewhere that I know we all have each other’s back whether it’s with life advice, recommending podcasts or celebrating a big lift! Danni and Mimi also run weekly zoom calls and IG lives to talk about all kinds of topics from 'what we wish we'd know before we started lifting' to nutrition and mindset. Lift is so much more than just a studio where badass women lift heavy weights, they really care about their members. I can say without doubt, I’m slowly becoming the best version of myself. Lift’s philosophy is to never ask what you’ve lost, only what you’ve gained - I’ve gained a network of wonderful women and new part of my identity ‘lifter’ and I couldn’t be happier. My bi-weekly check ins with Danni are more than just the icing on the already delicious Lift cake! They’ve become just as important to me as getting to the gym and picking up the weights. The opportunity to talk through nutrition, lifting goals and my mindset is a huge help. It’s not just the video calls, it’s the whatsapp’s checking in to make sure I’m still ok and the journaling prompts which, let’s be honest, I’d never commit to without a friendly push! It’s this 360 approach to coaching that makes Lift my happy place and it has made such a difference to me. I’m less competitive with myself, I listen to my body more and I’m seeing progression. Not just the obvious progression of lifting heavier but a better understanding of nutrition and a slow unlearning of the years of damage that, good old diet culture has taught me, plus a deeper amount of self awareness. I joined Lift because I wanted to make more time for me, check-ins help me continue to look after myself once the gym sessions are over.

Ava Gaffney 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really could not recommend Lift Studio LDN more! Genuinely such knowledgeable coaches who are also great fun making the whole experience such an enjoyable one and never ever a chore, really fab community atmosphere making exercise something you can truly enjoy:) So delighted I joined, Lift is a place everyone will feel welcome, benefit from and ultimately enjoy spending their valuable time at:)

Niamh MacFadden 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This might sound overly dramatic, but joining Lift was nothing short of life changing. Danni, Mimi and all their amazing coaches are so welcoming, incredibly knowledgable and just lovely to be around. Going for 3 days a week for 6 months changed my outlook completely on lifting weights. I was a completely newbie to lifting, I had never touched a barbell in my life, and now I feel I can walk into any gym and have the confidence to do (almost) anything! My body definitely saw physical and mental growth and all I want to do now is to continue to get strong and take everything I learnt with me wherever I go. I learnt so much and couldn’t be happier with the snap decision I made to join Lift right out of lockdown!

Susan Rossi 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joining Lift has been one of the best decisions I have made. The team is so positive and supportive but at the same time also encourage me to improve and progress. I feel stronger and more confident and capable. Highly recommended.

Claudia Vázquez 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Lift over one year ago now and I can only say wonderful things about it. All the trainers are fantastic and the space is gorgeous. Danni and Mimi have created a healthy and empowering community for women around lifting and I cannot be more greatful that I found them and I get to be a part of it!

Meg 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wish I could give this place and the wonderful trainers 100 stars. Truly the best part of my day. They have helped changed my health mentality in just 3 months and I am happy to watch myself heal. Not to mention I am seeing some stunning gains and major progress. This is not your typical CrossFit and thank god it is not. The progress I have made in 3 months at Lift Studio LDN is more than I ever saw in 6 months at CrossFit.

Helen Cranney 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is THE BEST! I have been a member for over 6 months now and its been so great to learn how to lift in a safe and supportive environment. You also get so much support with non lifting gains too such as evidence based nutritional information and mindset help. They are very individually focused as a collective team

Catherine Bryson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this gym so much. I have being going for 6 months and it’s such a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. I’m not a natural gym goer but I’ve been coming consistently and have seen myself getting stronger. The trainers are all really great and encouraging and always help make adjustments. I also love having a good chat with everyone in between sets.

Emily 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Lift Studio for over a year and cannot recommend it enough. I have always trained - both as part of sports clubs and generally as something I enjoy doing, but have never been fortunate enough to enjoy such carefully curated programmes that have seen me manage the after effects of a serious injury better than ever before (not through lack of trying over 10 years!) Although it is the perfect place for anyone looking to build confidence and start out in the gym, it is just as great for people who have previously trained and are looking for something to commit to that will keep pushing them and allow them to grow - all credit for this to the amazing trainers who really know what they are talking about! On top of all the above, the environment in the studio is unbelievably welcoming and filled with awesome women!

Eline Sibia 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this studio! It is a beautiful space filled with the most supportive women - from the coaches themselves to the community of women who train alongside you. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive. Lifting weights is something I had never done before and it is so much fun! I have enjoyed getting stronger, learning lifting techniques, making new friends and working out to ace playlists. If you want to exercise in a great environment and gain a sense of community, then I recommend that you take the plunge and book a trial session!

Rosie Tilson-Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joining Lift Studio was one of the best things I did this year - I cannot recommend it highly enough. I'm not someone who has ever been particularly active - certainly never a regular gym-goer - but the supportive coaches (and gorgeous studio) means I genuinely looked forward to every session. Potentially the first time I've ever looked forward to exercise! The community of like-minded women that Danni and Mimi have built is incredible, and it's such a warm, encouraging environment in which to learn a new skill.

Elizabeth Kane 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I wanted to weight train for years but, never had the courage. As I am now in my fifties I know that it is important to weight train for bone health so I took the plunge and joined Lift. As this is a women only gym it feels safe and welcoming (and happy). The trainers at Lift are so encouraging, knowledgeable and friendly. It is a proper lifting gym with heavy weights and no pink!! Or Burpees !! No Burpees !! No Burpees! After 5 weeks of training, my whole body feels better - stronger and more flexible. I wish there were more hours in the day so that I could fit in more sessions. This really is my happy place.

Lamia Diani 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lift is such a beautiful space for me for the following reasons: it’s owned by two wonderful hard working ladies that are truly great coaches that have so much knowledge and actually care about each and every client, the gym is a beautiful and intimate space , the location is great , the women that come to train there are all lovely , authentic and supportive which creates a beautiful energy around the session , it feels like a lovely community to be part of. being a member motivates me to stay consistent , I get excited about every program and look forward to the end of it purely to see progress in my strength :)

Nicada Drayton 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this Studio! I'm so much more consistent with my fitness since joining Lift and my technique has improved tremendously. I'm so much stronger than one year ago. The trainers are all friendly, sweet and so knowledgeable. They don't focus on weight and diet but overall health and wellbeing. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a great wholesome fitness community.

Harriet 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: LIFT is everything I didn't know I needed and joining is up there with my best ever decisions. Even putting aside all I have learnt and how much stronger I am as a result (and I can assure you I'm SO much stronger), it's 10/10 fun and - I'm fairly certain - impossible to leave without feeling uplifted.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place! For the first time in ages, I'm genuinely excited to go to the gym. All the trainers are amazing, so motivating, and make lifting really fun! Honestly couldn't recommend it higher - it will absolutely be worth the cost.

Shannon Gray 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a welcoming place to train! I've made numerous attempts to get into traditional strength training but no effort had ever lasted longer than a month at best. Typical reasons really... anxiety of being in the free weight section fighting burly men for dumbbells, insecurity in my form and just overall lack of motivation to keep going to the gym alone. I can truly say working out here has remedied all those fears that were holding me back on my previous attempts. Ive been working out here for almost a year now, and can whole heartly say it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my health, fitness and well-being. All the instructors are so patient and informative. Especially because the sessions are max 6 people, they're really attentive to all the girls. You never feel like your slacking behind or not putting in your all if you're not moving as much weight as the other girls in the session. They really push you to hold yourself accountable to your own pace and goals. I've gained so much knowledge and confidence, I can now walk into my local gym and not feel like I'm out of my depth, and just that change alone is worth all the time I've spent here.

emily casserly 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio that I have consistently gone to for almost a year. This is the first time I’ve enjoyed exercising, committed myself to regular classes and feel confident in my techniques. I couldn’t recommend this gym enough, all of the trainers are experts, really friendly, approachable and incredibly knowledgeable. Best investment I have made in myself!

Kate Manson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lift is simply the best gym I've ever been to - all the coaches are so supportive and encouraging and I have learnt so much about myself, my body and my mindset as well. I look forward to every single class (even at 6:45am) and honestly it is often the highlight of my day. I feel like I am gaining so much confidence in the gym and can already see progress after a few weeks.

Sunni Torgman 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The women that train here are amazing. If you are looking for somewhere to train with sensible programming and progressions, an encouraging and supportive environment and built-in accountability this is it. This gym has a big community vibe and it's so great to be a part of the team that are helping empower women through strength training ❤️

Tilly Johnston 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m completely brand new to weightlifting and have never previously enjoyed going to the gym, but Lift is absolutely incredible. The team are so supportive and helpful, and even though I’m still very new and a total beginner, they have already made me feel so much more confident. No other gym or activity has ever had me out of bed at 6am and excited for a 6.45am start! Im so excited to get back in January and have recommended Lift to all of my friends!

Elaine Gray 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my time as a lift member! The studio and instructors are so welcoming and knowledgeable, they each have their own style but are aligned on the lift ethos of providing a comfortable space for women to feel strong. I learnt a lot about how to lift weights and my confidence grew massively. Unfortunately due to my job I couldn’t continue with my membership but it was a great experience and I miss it heaps. In two months went from benching the bar (with great difficulty) to benching 40kg! And it could have been more if I had been able to attend more sessions. If I had to pick any improvements it would maybe be having slightly more classes as sometimes it was hard to book on whilst working full time as the later class gets booked early on, but I know they are a small growing business. Whilst I do find big gyms slightly intimidating still, I feel a lot more confident approaching the squat rack etc now!! And i am stronger. Thanks ladies!

Naomi Austin 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Words cannot do Lift studio justice. I’ve lifted at plenty of gyms in the past but none compare to the friendly, informative and safe space that Lift provides. I’ve learnt more about lifting, form and mindset in the last 4 months than years at other gyms. Everyone is so welcoming and I felt like part of a community instantly. The coaches are exceptional, all bringing something slightly different to their classes. The classes are challenging and allow you to scale up and down to suit your abilities. And with max 6 people in each class you really get the personal touch. The other lifters are amazing too and really help to create that safe space to be okay with failing when it happens and lifting you up (pun not intended) to achieve more than you thought you could. Solid lifting with lots of different levels of experience with a lovely sprinkling of rants and chats. It may seem like a lot to pay for the gym but the value for money is great with the WhatsApp chats, podcasts from the coaches, solid programming and unlimited classes with top-tier coaches. Hoping I never have to go back to a ‘normal’ gym! Thank you ladies.

Fantastic experience: Joining Lift is honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made. The energy is always so welcoming, fun and full of encouragement. As someone who knew nothing about lifting and had a lot of gym anxiety, I instantly felt at ease from the comfortable and positive environment created by the coaches. I always leave the sessions feeling accomplished, even when I'm having a bad day! I've made so much progress relative to where I started and would urge any woman to give it a go! Thank you Danni and Mimi xxx

Fantastic experience: Joining Lift was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. It was the perfect environment for learning how to lift while also having the most fun (I know crazy- a gym that’s fun!) The coaches are the most encouraging and supportive people and are there for you every step of the way. I never knew I had the ability to get so strong and lift such big weights but with lift I was able to exceed all my expectations and goals! They push you to do and be your best and listen to you when you’re not at your best.. It’s such a special place and would highly recommend to anyone looking to get into lifting who don’t know where to start! And let’s not forget how aesthetically pleasing it is and the regular visits from some four legged friends (Sally the sausage) Danni and Mimi have created a wonderful community full of strong women and was so proud to be part of it

Fantastic experience: Joining Lift Studio London was one of the best decisions I’ve made. As someone who has never really been physically active, Danni and Mimi have created an environment where I have gained knowledge, consistency, strength and confidence in the gym. The community at Lift is so uplifting and non-judgmental. I love every session and have never felt healthier or happier.

Fantastic experience: Lift is easily the best gym I’ve ever been to, everyone is so supportive & the sessions are so fun. I’ve genuinely never looked forward to a gym session before, but at Lift I never get that feeling, there’s no intimidating workout with 100 burpees in, just women supporting women & lifting weights! I cannot recommend it enough to anyone, even if you’re a complete beginner or have been to the gym a thousand times, everyone goes at their own pace and no one is ever left behind!

Fantastic experience: I have been at Lift for six months now and I have never been so dedicated to turning up to anything this much! The gym itself is such a lovely environment. Danni, Mimi and the coaches do such a great job of assisting you and guiding you through all the moves, encouraging you. It goes beyond just the physical aspect of working out, but also them mental improvement - really believing in yourself, practising consistency and using that outside the gym too! 100% recommend x

Fantastic experience: After attending a complementary 1:1 session with Mimi, I did a 4 session trial to see if this was something I wanted to commit to. It’s been great. Danni and Mimi have created a wonderful space where you are warmly welcomed each time. It’s a safe space, with no judgment from the trainers or the rest of the group. Everyone is really encouraging. It feels great that I’m finally learning how to lift and reassuring that my technique is being checked and refined by trainers who know what they’re talking about. The small groups allow this attention to detail. I can just about deadlift the weight of my boyfriend now, and I haven’t had to do a single burpee getting there!! Today, I did Bulgarian squats with a 20kg kettle bell, the equivalent of 2 full suitcases on a cheap airline in one hand!! That’s progress for sure. This studio is definitely one of my happy places. I just wish I could fit in more sessions!

Fantastic experience: Danni and Mimi have done the impossible: created a welcoming environment that has meant I turn up without fail every week. I am stronger not only physically but mentally. I am so grateful for this community and the joy it has brought to my life.

Fantastic experience: I am SO in love with Lift! I’ve always been a chopper and changer when it comes to exercise, trying out different things and never sticking. Which is great in some ways as I never get bored… but I was struggling a lot with my mental health and feeling a bit lost a few months ago and decided to pursue something I’d always been curious about - weight lifting. I wanted to make a commitment to myself and meet it, in order to strengthen my mental resilience. Lift has been PERFECT for this, I tend to go twice a week, early morning sessions, and have fallen in love with it. I always leave feeling ready to face the day. I’ve never known such a supportive environment before (I had horrible experiences with PE and sport when I was younger and have always felt a bit fat and out of place when working out) and they really encourage you to challenge yourself, not with a mean “if you don’t do this EVERYONE here has to plank” type attitude (which I hate) but by genuine encouragement, that makes me want to try hard to get a PB as they believe I can. It’s also really reassuring that the classes are so small as I know when pushing myself that their eyes are firmly on me, and I won’t be risking damaging or hurting myself. I have been going a couple of months now and genuinely want to carry on for years and years. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend this place more! Really welcoming, non-judgemental environment to work out in, completely different atmosphere to most gyms. Both Danni and Mimi are so knowledgeable and supportive, and will teach you everything you need to know, right from the beginning.

Fantastic experience: I love Lift Studio LDN! Mimi and Danni have created such a welcoming and nurturing space for women and since training with Mimi as my PT for the last year and a half I cannot WAIT to get stuck in with sessions here! I have learned so much about lifting weights and my body as well as gaining heaps of confidence and strength. Try it out, you won’t regret it! X

Rachel Cramond 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have NEVER done exercise before work before, and never managed to consistently go to the gym 3+ times per week, until now. Danni, Mimi and all the wonderful women at the gym make the classes so fun that it’s something I look forward to each day. I can feel myself getting stronger too. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I won a Lift Studio LDN membership through an Instagram giveaway when they first opened. Best. Prize. Ever. Each time you turn up, it's more than exercise. Every class you attend celebrates what you've previously achieved and pushes you to do more than you did before; whether it's a heavier lift, a more confident brace, or just an affirmation that you're gonna continue to try your best. Mimi and Danni are invested in every person that comes through their door, and that's what every woman needs; women that support them.

Laura Kim 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Mimi and Danni have curated an unbelievably welcoming, beautiful space. A place where I actually want to work out and lift! It's been so refreshing being in a supportive lifting community. The equipment is all new and Mimi and Danni are excellent coaches.

Fantastic experience: Coming from a yoga and Pilates background, I never thought I would be into the gym or strength training but something inside me told me to give Lift a go and I am so glad that I did! Lift has been the best investment I have ever made in my mental and physical health. I have never felt so strong, confident and happy in my body and in myself - and I owe it all to Lift. Mimi and Danni, and the other trainers, are highly experienced and have been so supportive with making sure my form is correct and ensuring that I move in a safe way as I have an ongoing lower back injury (which has actually improved since joining Lift). They have also busted so many myths for me and opened my eyes to a whole new way of working out - as a result, I have progressed 10x faster with my fitness goals than when I used ClassPass. Every session I leave feeling stronger, fitter and more capable and empowered than before - it is truly the best addiction. The community is also amazing! It is so wonderful to be surrounded by other women who want to feel strong, and I love that Mimi and Dani have created such an empowering environment that goes beyond the aesthetic benefits of working out. I couldn't recommend Lift enough and am truly so grateful to Mimi and Danni. If you're even slightly thinking about joining, then all I can say is do it now!

Fantastic experience: Literally the best gym i've ever been to! When you walk in not only does it look amazing the welcoming is just as good - zero judgment for girls who want to learn how to train and lift weights. I had no idea what i was doing before I started training with Mimi, now I'm confident and i can really see the results of us training together. Would 1000% recommend to everyone who is near Clapham

Fantastic experience: Lift Studio is a gorgeous, welcoming, safe space for women who want to learn to lift with the confidence of a mediocre white man! Dani and Mimi are incredible, personable and hilarious coaches. The community feeling space they have built is inspiring and joyful. The program they have devised makes it easy for anyone to join and progress quickly! PB week is so much fun, and I love being around other women who encourage and cheer each other on, no matter what level you’re at. I have never felt so strong and confident!

Fantastic experience: Lift Studio London is the place all us ladies have sought after for so long! Educational and motivational, Mimi & Dani are inspiring and have created a safe community that focuses on gaining confidence and building muscle. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having done Barre & Running for many years I wanted to try something new. After an encouraging consult with Mimi I went ahead with their x3 a week membership. I felt so lucky that majority of members classes there would be 2/3 ladies max - so it’s nearly 1-1 PT Sessions. Having done 3 months I feel so much more confident in my body. I have a peachier bum / stronger, defined arm, leg & back muscles. The community is fab - so many laughs during our workouts. It’s empowering. And it’s worth it! Mimi and Danni - thank you

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this gym more! Lift is unlike any other gym or class I have ever been to, it's such an encouraging, safe space to go to. I have never been more committed to fitness before and Lift has made me love working out and see it as a positive in life, rather than a punishment. The gym is excellently set up and is not intimidating in the slightest. Mimi & Danni are incredible woman and have created a community that I think all women deserve to be a part of. If I could only take one thing away from Lift, you are always stronger than you think you are!
