Weights for Soul

Fantastic experience: At a crossroads I either jumped aboard the Mounjaro train or found an independent gym (I'm not a fan of busy commercial ones) and I will never look back. In the last 6 weeks I've gone from wearing my jeans only whilst out the house to wearing them as I get dressed in the morning until I go to bed in the evening, why? Because they now fit comfortably and I have Vito & Harry to thank for that. Even when I enthusiastically tripped through a door and broke my foot they were able to make reasonable adjustments so I could continue going to classes and progress each week for which I will be forever grateful for. If I can do it then anyone can, all it takes is a leap of faith.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed the 6 weeks challenge at WfS, in those 6 weeks I have lost just under 10kg. Before I started this challenge I had no idea how much bad stuff was in food the nutrition benefits that learn here is truly life changing. The workouts can be tough at times but you don't feel as sore the next day as you would going to a normal gym. I would definitely recommend WfS especially if you have tried and failed like I have many times before. Lastly Vito and Harry are great coaches that really want you to do well and are with you every step of journey. Thank you guys really appreciate you

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Weights for Soul highly enough! I have just joined as a full member having completed the 6 week challenge run by Harry and Vito. I had looked at this challenge for a little while, stuck in a running injury rut; gaining weight and feeling stiff, unfit and like I was suddenly aging. But I took the plunge. I will say this first, in case anybody doesn’t get through this review: this gym is a shining example of why we should support small businesses. Chain gyms may be open 24hrs and charge you £1.50 to be a member but it’s not the same. Aside from everything, this gym is a community where nobody ever feels judged: everyone lifts each other up and celebrates each others wins. There is no jealously, no hierarchy: it doesn’t matter what the person next to you is lifting or how many reps they can do. Everyone is welcome and everyone is supported in progressing. I had never properly weight trained before: I had copied a few YouTube videos, bought some dust catcher dumbbells which lived under my stairs, but never been brave enough to lift weights in a gym. I have fallen in Iove with it since joining WfS. I have lost weight, dropped inches from everywhere on my body but, most importantly, completely reprogrammed my psychology. The weekly check ins during the challenge kept me accountable but the patient and thoughtful feedback from Harry also allowed me to to reframe my whole approach. Rather than just focusing on weight, I got even more joy from being strong, stable, more flexible and feeling great about exercise. Both Harry and Vito are superb coaches. Vito is exceptionally knowledgeable on form and proper technique; this isn’t about just throwing heavy things around, it’s about becoming genuinely stronger and feeling amazing. His wisdom is to take time and trust the process, and he is right. Harry is the undisputed king of conditioning: delivering workouts that work you hard but leave you feeling like you can conquer anything (after a little sit down). The first couple of weeks were tough: my brain didn’t have a clue which limb was where during workouts and the first one left me aching for 3 days. But as I got better, I saw results: the inflammation calmed, the muscles appeared and the motivation to get better and better kept coming. Now 8 weeks from my start date, I am running again: the old injury that had plagued me for months was gone after 3 and my power and recovery in running is better than ever. If, like me, you have lurked online unsure if it’s for you then I would just urge you to give it a go!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend WFS, I've never enjoyed previous gym experiences and found lots of excuses not go to but decided to try WFS. It's friendly and welcoming with excellent support from both Vito & Harry plus fellow members. So glad that I got over my gym phobia as feeling stronger and fitter each week!

Fantastic experience: Before COVID, exercise was my anchor, a way to manage the pressure of a demanding job and stay mentally balanced. But during the pandemic, working for the NHS without access to my usual gym routine left me feeling mentally and physically broken. I eventually changed careers completely, but the need for movement never left me. I missed the stress relief, the strength, the clarity. Yet I didn’t have the confidence to return to the gym. Eventually, I joined Weights for Soul feeling very stiff, unsure, and completely out of practice. I knew the theory, but my body and mindset weren’t where they used to be. That’s where this programme truly shines. The group strength and conditioning sessions are thoughtfully designed, and the coaching is exceptional. Vito and Harry don’t just lead - they listen. They tailor every exercise to your ability, meet you where you are, and guide you forward with patience, encouragement, and zero judgment. Whether you're rebuilding from scratch or chasing new goals, they make progress feel possible. They’re always on hand to answer questions, offer reassurance, and help you reconnect with your body and your confidence. In just six weeks, I’ve already felt a shift. Yes, fat loss is a beneficial natural side effect, but what I’m really chasing is to feel fitter, stronger, and more stable, physically and mentally. And I’m finally getting there. Weights for Soul isn’t just about lifting weights. It’s about rebuilding your resilience. If you’re looking for a personal, holistic approach to health and fitness, I can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: The first gym that's keep me coming back. Love the friendly atmosphere, everyone is so supportive. After 6 short weeks I went from lifting 5kg, to 20kg!!! I feel so much stronger and can't wait to see what else I can accomplish with continued support from coaches Vito & Harry.

Fantastic experience: 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 a gym just for ladies!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Vito and Hollie at weights for soul 6 weeks ago, I started because nothing else was working, I was feeling overweight and not very energetic and had no idea what to do about it. Vito and Hollie were both very kind and informative about how to get the best out of me, and the other ladies in my session were welcoming and after a few sessions you feel like you belong. I’ve always dreaded going to the gym but I actually look forward to it now. Don’t get me wrong it’s hard work, but weirdly I don’t mind doing it. I’ve lost 4kg in 6 weeks, but more importantly I feel healthier and stronger. I recommend giving it a try if you’re thinking about it, at the very least you’ll meet some great people, but if you end up loving it like me then you’ll be healthier and happier.

Fantastic experience: I signed up to the 6 week Weights for Soul programme having previously tried other weight loss methods, even a personal coach. I committed to 05:30 workouts and although the wake up is TOUGH, I leave the gym feeling energized and revitalised for the rest of the day! If you listen to Vito, you will feel physically stronger and leaner in no time at all. I am now a member and still attend the sessions because I love them!

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Weights for Soul and Vito to anyone who is even considering signing up! I joined a little over 2 months ago, and the amount of support and kindness from not only the team, but the other class members has been overwhelming! The 6 week challenge is perfect for anyone who needs a kick-start as it has so much help with nutrition, wellbeing, and all sorts of tips to keep you on track. It's not dieting, or some crazy regimen that gets exhausting after a few weeks, but a solid and helpful plan to really help you learn good habits and work towards your goals. I have already achieved more than I thought possible and I promise, if I can do it then anyone can!

Fantastic experience: 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, Hollie & 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.

Fantastic experience: I joined Weights for Soul back in November. 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.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the Weights for Soul classes - they're really challenging while still offering flexibility for different levels of fitness and strength. The community has been a huge help to get me out of a slump and back enjoying exercise, especially the encouraging reminder messages which help to battle my night before feelings of I can't or I don't want to. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone, regardless of your starting point

Fantastic experience: Thank you Vito! The 6 week programme was really excellent and just what I needed to get back into exercise and tracking my food after taking a break due to some some surgery. The workouts were challenging but varied so they never got boring. As a bonus I also lost 5kg in the 6 weeks! I'd highly recommend this programme to anyone else who needs a kickstart.

Fantastic experience: Did the 6 week transformation programme with Vito and Hollie. Didn’t really need to lose weight, but as an older lady (57) wanted to build muscle, strength and stamina. I can definitely feel and see the difference. This has set me up for a couple of big charity challenges I have this year (26 mile trek and 3 peaks) Fantastic programme, tailored to your ability. Such a welcoming and fun group… the 6 week programme is not just about fitness but there is nutrition support also and daily tasks/check ins. It really keeps you motivated. I loved it so much I’m staying with the gym to continue my journey to a stronger, healthier me!

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the Weights for Soul 6-week transformation programme, after having not done any exercise or stepped foot in the gym for 4 years due to a knee injury, I was very nervous to get 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 10 months in, I've never felt better. My goal was never to loose weight but to gain the strength and health back that I lost in the time I didn't excercise. I look forward to continuing my journey with WFS. Thank you Vito, Hollie & the WFS tribe!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Life changing! I started in August on the 6 week plan and was made to feel completely comfortable and welcome from day 1. Starting was the hardest thing to do, I had no idea what I was doing. The Tribe is welcoming, supportive, fun and inclusive, it’s not competitive and all at your own pace. There’s great flexibility around class times and Vito is excellent at knowing each person as an individual. I go 3x a week, have changed my diet, am stronger, have energy to run around after my grandchildren, sleep better and have lost over 2 stone Sign up, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Joining Weights for Soul has been a transformative journey for me over the past 2.5 years. The unwavering support and guidance I've received here have been invaluable. I've connected with an amazing community and exceptional trainers. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: 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!!

Fantastic experience: 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! 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.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant trainer. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I’m not normally one for writing reviews but in this case I’ll make an exception for Vito. What he has built here is truly amazing, I absolutely love it!! After three children and several knee and shoulder surgeries I felt so out of shape and so broken in many ways. I’d get up in pain either from my knees or back, and everything was a challenge. I wanted to lose weight and become stronger for my family but didn’t have the confidence to take myself off to the gym, and a personal trainer wasn’t really my thing. I found weights for soul and loved the idea of the small group and tried the 6 week program with all the intention of finishing there. The first week was brutal but all the people that were there were so supportive (men and women) and was so much fun. The weight started coming off and my strength increased immensely. 5 months later I’m still getting up at 5am 4 times a week and I still love it. I have had a few setbacks due to my broken body but Vito has adapted exercises for me and is so encouraging. I’d recommend this to absolutely everyone.

Fantastic experience: Love training with Vito and his team! Great classes and always willing to go further with you, Highly recommend ! Great atmosphere, small classes really motivational. Love it.

Fantastic experience: Vito is incredibly motivating. All the training is circuit based in small friendly groups. Every session consists of new interesting exercises. He gives a lot of helpful and personal feedback and is clearly an experienced and excellent personal trainer. The sessions are conveniently timed throughout the day ( the early morning sessions are especially useful to fit in with busy days). The booking process is easy. The classes are filled with all sorts of shapes and sizes, so it is not too intimidating even for someone new to gyms. I have really enjoyed getting stronger and would really recommend this programme.

Fantastic experience: Weights for Soul is more than just a gym. It's a community, and a group of friends you haven't made yet. Regardless of your reason for working out, you are welcomed. All sizes, shapes and fitness levels. Vito knows every member and how to get the best from everyone, when to push or provide that bit of extra support. I never thought I'd be someone who would look forward to getting up for a 6.30 am class, but 6 months in I now notice more if I don't go! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have never met a more kind, uplifting, helpful and inspiring bunch of people. Weights for soul isn’t just about whipping your ar*e in the gym, it’s about consistently being a pillar of support on your weight loss journey and beyond. I will never look back now! Thank you to Vito for being the daily push I need and for bringing the humour to the sessions and thank you to all the members who have welcomed me ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've just done my first four weeks at Weights For Soul and it's been great. I hadn't done any significant exercise for 4-5 years and needed something to get me going again. The spirit of the group and Vito's energy during the classes really spurs you on. It's the usual story of dreading a session before you go but then really enjoying it when you're there... and afterwards you come out buzzing and so glad you went. Vito is great at tailoring exercises to you as an individual (I have a lower back problem so at the beginning did less-stressful varieties of exercises... but now I'm keeping up with the rest of the group). I've shed some weight, I'm feeling fitter, and I'm achieving more with every session. Will definitely keep going beyond the 6-Week block of classes that I originally booked in for. Highly recommend this to everyone looking for a great exercise experience.

Fantastic experience: I joined the 6 week program and have gone down a jeans size in that time. The app is brilliant, keeping me on track to achieve my goals and see the progress. Lovely group of people, and great coaches helping us do all the exercises correctly. I wish I had more spare time to do more than 3 classes a week!

Fantastic experience: I joined Weights for Soul at the end of July. I had been going to my local gym for 3 years and having personal training sessions and not seeing the results I wanted. I came across an advert on Instagram and decided to try the 6 week challenge. I'm not overweight but felt my weight had crept up and I was unhappy. Vito was friendly and explained everything clearly. I attended 3 sessions a week and planned my meals better. With a better understanding of nutrition and consistency I managed to lose half a stone in 6 weeks. After the 6 weeks I signed up for good. I love the sessions. Each one pushes me, my technique is corrected if I'm wrong and the support coach Vito gives is great. He is professional and dedicated to the tribe. Definitely recommend trying Weights for Soul, it has changed my mindset with exercise and nutrition and I'm much fitter and stronger than ever before.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic classes with a great recipes to help you loose or maintain your weight. Came for a 6 week challenge thinking I would just do this and stop but loved the exercises and the people who train. Everyone is so friendly and no one is judges.

Fantastic experience: I joined Weights for Soul as I have reached the age where my usual fitness and weight loss methods don’t work any more. My goal was to find an exercise class which kick started my metabolism and made me accountable for my own health and wellbeing. I have found that - and much more. I enjoy my sessions which means I go willingly and the group camaraderie and support is lovely. Add in Vito who is the master of one liners and the new friends I have made and I can honestly say I feel that I have found a group that will enable me to succeed long term in all of my wellbeing goals for the future.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my 6 week transformation programme with Weights for Soul and I couldn’t sing their praises enough. I lost weight, gained muscle but more importantly I feel so much more confident, not only in myself but also my capability of walking into a gym and knowing what I am doing. I found all the advice about nutrition so valuable and it’s changed my relationship with food and exercise completely. Everyone is so incredible supportive and inclusive and I generally enjoyed every single session I attended. I can’t thank Vito and Hollie enough and cant recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: My experience with W4S could not be better, I always feel welcome in the class and all the support that Vito provides is perfect, the support is brilliant too thank you for all. Maria Lima

Fantastic experience: I’m a 50 year old women who has never been to a gym in her life. Always to nervous due to the unknown and a life long breathing problem. Well I was surprised. I absolutely love it! Vito and Holly are great trainers, the people that go are lovely and helpful. I’ve finished my 6 week challenge and have re joined as getting fit has never been so much fun thanks to all at Weights for Soul.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Vito and weights for Soul enough. I lost interest in the gym, self motivation was low and time was a factor. That was until I signed up for the six week challenge. You cannot go wrong. So much information, things to do, support hubs from other members and crew. The 6 weeks have flown by and I have found my mo jo finally! Vito supports you every step of the way, even at 5.30am! Over the weeks you realise you have built up on your own a powerful hub of information regarding nutrition. The drip feed effect has you monitoring everyday life. The classes well there are plenty to choose from, and everyone is so friendly. All in the same boat, and everyone is catered for. For someone who hates the mornings 4.45am is not so bad anymore. Lots of motivation from Vito and his knowledge is fabulous. Your not joining a gym but a family.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Weights for Soul for the last 6 months and I can’t believe the positive impact it has had on both my physical and mental wellbeing. As someone who has always hated exercise and felt totally out of place in a gym, I now try to get to 4 classes a week and feel rubbish if I don’t. Vito is so knowledgeable about both fitness and nutrition and has helped me to make achievable and sustainable lifestyle changes to my diet and fitness. The rest of the gym family are incredibly supportive and I always leave the class having had a good workout and an even better laugh! I can’t recommend weights for soul enough. If you’re thinking about giving it a go - do it!!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Vito enough! i came to the gym not knowing anything, Vito has supported me throughout the workouts and pushed me to my limits. I couldn’t be happier with my body and progress that i have made. I feel stronger and healthier since joining weights for soul. Being in Vitos classes has made me feel confident and part of a community. It is a great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: One of the most fantastic gyms I think I’ve ever been to. Tough, exhilarating, fun and rewarding all at the same time. I used to be a big gym freak and then had a baby 6 months ago and lost some confidence. I needed someone to guide and discipline me. When I reached out to Vito after an advert on social media he was very friendly and put all my nerves aside. Training with others in the small groups definitely helps and everyone is so lovely and friendly. Honestly could not recommend weights for soul enough! I originally joined the 6 week challenge but definitely intend to stay longer and become a member as enjoy is so much! ♥️

Fantastic experience: After completing the six week fitness programme. I can honestly say I have never felt so amazing. I started at 121.9kg and finished at 114.1kg. I have always been up and down with the gym it's been love hate relationship, but finding Vito has completely changed my view of fitness, I love the classes they are up beat and fun the tribe are amazing and so supportive, your little wins are celebrated. I know that personally I would not be able to go back to a regular gym.

Fantastic experience: If you are struggling with fitness and looking to loose some pounds I can’t recommend Vito at Weights for Soul enough! I recently had a baby where I was struggling for the motivation to get back into it so I decided to take part in the 6 week body transformation programme. Vito has been nothing but encouraging and supportive to push me and motivate me to loose those pounds. I am now 4 months PP and I have not only lost 4kg, I’ve doubled the weights I can lift and have never felt stronger or fitter. The weights for soul community are nothing but encouraging and supportive so if you are looking for friendly banter, support and to train hard this is the place to come. Thank you Vito!!!

Fantastic experience: I’m only about to finish my first six weeks at weights for soul. For someone who never really participated in any sort of gym due to being worried about not knowing the proper form etc, I have found real progress and confidence with Vito and the really friendly tribe. Vito is really funny, friendly but professional in terms of your personal progression. I have decided to now commit long term as the last few weeks have resulted in feeling stronger, fitter, more energised and more positive overall. For anyone wondering if they should take the plunge, give it a go, you really won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Weights for soul is a Game changer! The 6 week program has not just help me gain strength & Muscle but has helped me with a healthy lifestyle. It is helped me mentally to adopt a can-do attitude. Vito has helped me achieve goals and shown me Technique and how to train in a Safe & Secure environment. Now I have finished my six week program I have signed to become a full member to continue my Journey. I can’t recommend Vito Enough. If you’re looking for a professional environment to push you in the right direction to succeeded, Vito and weights for soul is the place to Achieve this. You will see guaranteed results. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Weights for Soul enough! I started this journey 6 weeks ago, unfit, unmotivated and lacking energy. In that time not only have I improved on all these things I have also managed to lose 7kg and a total of 30cms! I could never have achieved this without the amazing Vito and the rest of the tribe. I am so pleased I found Weights for Soul and gave it a go. I honestly cannot wait to continue my journey.

Fantastic experience: I signed up to the Weights for Soul 6 week transformation programme. The main reason I signed up was to motivate myself to get back to exercising consistently after starting the peri-menopause and giving up on any form of exercise for nearly 2 years. Weights for Soul and Vito have helped me to fall back in love with exercise again. I have now completed the 6 week programme and I am stronger, fitter, sleeping better, eating healthier and my mental health has improved massively. As a bonus I am wearing clothes that I have not fit into for 3 years. I have carried on training with Weights for Soul and continue to get fitter and stronger with each session…… Thank you Vito

Fantastic experience: Weights for Soul is genuinely awesome! Vitto has the capacity to care and consider everyones personal fitness journey. You feel supported and looked after and encouraged to progress and push yourself further in a way I know I could not do if I wasn’t in such a friendly and focused group environment. I am definitely the strongest and most toned I have been since I can remember! I feel so much healthier! Joining Weights for soul has enabled me to reconnected with my fitness and my body, which in turn has eased my back pain and just upped my happiness levels in general - If you are thinking of joining ,do it! Its the best thing I’ve done this past year!:)

Fantastic experience: Joining this tribe has been the best thing for me. Since having my kids I suffered with lower back pain almost daily. Since working out with Vito: Gone! I have become stronger physically. As a dog walker, a 10 mile day would wreck me with joint pain and foot pain. Now I can do similar again the next day, pain free. I have become stronger mentally. More resilient, better sleep. Now, I am the type of person that could own a subscription to the fanciest gym in the country. I would not go. Vito uses a booking system. I commit to a session, I will go. From the start the atmosphere was welcoming and helpful, from Vito as well as all tribe members. I can only recommend this type of training with Vito, as it made me feel younger than I actually am! ;-)

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Weights for Soul for just over 7 months now. The classes are challenging but Fun and everyone is really Friendly. I like that the classes are small group sessions. I had been struggling to get motivated to start exercising again, but Vito really pushes you and encourages you to try your best and lift heavier if you don't believe you can. Classes are always varied, mostly weights and then a little 'lung burner' just to finish you off! I would highly recommend Weights for Soul if you have lost your motivation in exercise. Vito is a great coach and has a great sense of humour. Always come away from a classes absolutely exhausted but so glad I went.

Fantastic experience: Vito is such an amazing trainer/coach, if you're looking to get fit and strong/stronger then weights for soul is the place for you. Vito pays attention to your needs/ worries and ensures you achieve your desired goal. When I joined I could only work out with 3kgs dumbbells and now 5months later 20kg dumbbells with squats, 30kgs for kettlebell swings, 45kgs deadlifts. Who could've thought I would be able to lift this heavy ☺️ I cannot forget to mention Vito's sense of humour, it's unmatched. I am happy to be part of the Weights for Soul tribe, best decision I ever made. Thank you Vito for pushing me out of my comfort zone

Fantastic experience: Having turned 40 in August 2023 and after 7 years of raising kids and neglecting my physical and mental health, I decided to give Vito at Weights for Soul a try. The programme and classes have been life changing. Not only have I improved my strength and fitness back towards pre-kid levels, the knock on impacts on my life have been huge. Vito’s perfect blend of ‘stick and carrot’ in his classes and the group approach to accountability, mean each session provides something new, challenging and enjoyable in equal measure. Thank you Vito and team.

Fantastic experience: This training is the only type of training I have come across which suits everyone. Our tribe is a community an the PT's are fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Weights for Soul is not an ordinary gym. Vito has created a good feel atmosphere at his sessions. Training sessions are amazing, been there for around 9 months and feeling so much better and stronger. He will push you to the limits but sometimes we all need that kick! Always good to see friendly faces around and enjoy the training together with other people in small groups. Best gym I have ever been and it is like a PT session in a small group as you get all the attention needed if you need any help.

Fantastic experience: Vito is fantastic and has built a great community in carterton. Training with this group is a pleasure and made it much easier to commit to my fitness.

Fantastic experience: Varied, fun, great people, great coach!! Building WFS into your routine is a must. Thanks Vito !

Fantastic experience: Vito is the best trainer, really enthusiastic and knowledgeable! Every session is hard work and fun! Everyone is friendly and helpful and the team ethos is strong! If you are lucky enough to live close by this is the gym to join! Leanne

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Vito for over a year now and couldn’t recommend Weights for Soul enough! He is a fantastic coach and what makes him different is that he really cares about you, your journey and will go above and beyond to ensure you reach your goals. The group sessions are with an amazing group of people from different ages, sizes, fitness levels - it’s a very supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Vito is a great trainer. I have been a member for nearly 7 months and have never felt as strong, healthy and positive as I do now.

Fantastic experience: This place gets the job done. Always fun! Every exercise is well explained and showed before doing. The six week program is a must if you are looking for weight loss or getting back to shape.

Fantastic experience: Vito is so good at motivating you whether you need tough love, positive reinforcement or a bit of banter. If you want to get fit and strong but lack the knowledge and motivation solo - his group classes are for you! You’ll burn twice as many calories per hour than when left to your own devices and strengthen all your muscle groups evenly. I have learnt so much about weights / strength training and nutrition through the 6 Week Challenge and beyond.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant training. Supportive, fun, knowledgeable. Has transformed my relationship with exercise and improved my mental health. I look forward to working out.

Fantastic experience: Weight for Souls is a great gym to workout at! Vito’s a great coach, the sessions are always challenging as well as always evolving to keep us on our toes. It’s a great group of people and highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I started a 6 week programme in June and 6 months on I’m still going! I found consistently getting back into exercise after having a baby so difficult until I met Vito and joining his tribe! I’ve never met a more welcoming and encouraging group than at Weights for Soul, instantly feeling welcomed and not out of place. I feel constantly supported in my training with Vito who comes into every session with unrivalled enthusiasm, knowledge and support for his members. I couldn’t recommend joining our tribe and Vito enough!

Fantastic experience: Loved the six week challenge! When I first started my six week challenge with Vito and Weights for Soul, I could barely lift 6kg and was feeling really lethargic and out of shape! I needed something to get me going again and I certainly found it! With the help of Vito and the Tribe, I can now lift 20kg + dumbbells and my stamina has improved a lot. I’ve also lost 13cm from my stomach and 5cm from my chest as well as nearly 5kg of body fat! I feel motivated and can’t wait to book onto classes every week! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and Vito has helped me to work out safely and keep on track of nutrition! I’ve just signed up to be a full Tribe member! Thanks for everything! Here’s to an even stronger future!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic! Feeling stronger every week, more confident and full of energy. Thank you! Everyone who is attending those sessions are very friendly x

Fantastic experience: As a busy mum of two young children finding the time to fit in exercise is a challenge. Vito offers classes early enough that I can fit it in before I have to start my day. The days I don’t train I notice my energy and mood dip! I never though I’d be one of those getting up at 4.30 to go the gym people but here I am and loving it! I have just completed my 6 weeks with Vito. In this time I lost 1.5 kg and centimetres my biggest being around my waist but that doesn’t compare to what I gained in strength, knowledge, energy and confidence. Vito explains exercises in depth and offers alternatives where needed. I can already see how much stronger I am than when I started and things I couldn’t do at the beginning. I now can! He holds you accountable and pushes you but in a way which only he can with his humour. When you know him then you can understand I had no doubt I wanted to continue with Vito and his tribe and continue to learn and grow. I can’t wait to see what the future holds and I’m so glad I’ve found a form exercise I not only enjoy but gives results! Thank you Vito for all your hard work.. it shows in the way you show up for us.. legend

Fantastic experience: One of my best decisions was joining Vito at Weights for Soul. I have been struggling to lose weight, even though I have actively tried since the start of 2023. I am a female in my 40’s, which comes with some added problems. Even though I tried to eat healthy, the weight kept going up, and my clothes just sits tighter. I went on a cruise of a live time in August 2023, wonderful and enjoyable, but adding to my weight problem. After the cruise and another 3 kg up, I knew I had to do something. I joined Vito’s classes middle Sept and for the first time this year, I managed to lose weight. I have learned the importance of proper nourishment for my body. Learning that going hungry is not the right way to lose weight. I am not natural athletic and struggle to keep up with intense exercises. I found the exercise classes are pitched at such a level that I could easily manage it in the beginning, and six weeks later, I still find it challenging. It is easy to adapt by just increasing the weights you work with. It is lovely to be part of a friendly group of people, which motivates me. To be able to eat well, without going hungry and lose weight and more important centimetres. I started off 6 weeks ago, with my no 20 jeans sitting snug on me, I am now a no 18 comfortably fitting. I think it goes without saying, the 6 weeks was only the start for me, and I am continuing with his program without a doubt. Thank you, Vito.

Fantastic experience: Vito is a legend, i was very nervous attending the sessions at first but very quickly relaxed and enjoyed it. I had tried ALL the diets, I hate going to the gym and I was very unmotivated...well what can I say...its addictive. Vito is fun very very knowledgeable and you can loose yourself in an intense session...its excellent !!! really friendly and the age group is brilliant, I'm 51 and its the best thing I've done. I've seen some great results in the last 6 weeks, i don't usually do google reviews but credit where credit is due...Thank you Vito

Fantastic experience: Hi I would highly recommend 6 weeks challenge. Good motivation good vibe You don’t need to be fit to start Vito will help you accordingly to where you at Just make sure u show up Adjust your eating habits and it doesn’t have to be that difficult and strict You don’t need to run around with the boxes Just organise your meals and stick to it I Dedicated 5 of of 7 for training after first two weeks and the results came and that’s what motivates you further Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I started training with Vito after seeing his 6 week challenge on social media. I’ve now been part of this amazing group for around 4 months. Everyone is super friendly. I’ve always exercised, but had lost the buzz and the challenge for me was to love it again. I can honestly say I’ve never enjoyed exercise so much!!! Vito keeps it fun and challenging, but also listens to any issues you have, gives advice and modifications as necessary. I have never felt stronger. Vito offers a wide range of classes suitable for everyone. His early morning classes are perfect for busy people as you can ‘get it done’ and then you’re set for the day. I’m so glad I found Vito & the tribe.

Fantastic experience: In a nutshell...." Meeting the awesome Vito, joining an amazing tribe filled with warm, welcoming and inspirational humans has literally CHANGED MY life! and hand on my heart I needed to change my life". It began when a gorgeous friend shared a photo a year apart of her joining WFS...strong, toned and the picture of health I was curious to find out more..... I have always been sporty and my excess weight has never stopped me however this year the weight piled on and I felt lethargic, unmotivated, heavy and lost with all things food and fitness....I needed something new and WFS is exactly what I needed... when you have around 5 stone to lose it can feel overwhelming...It's important to share that I also wanted to try a new type of training as I had heard the benefits can be great in Perimenopause; I can confirm they are! I needed help with a new way with my nutrition and a new way of training...the coaching app and daily online lessons are fab and have been such a support with all things food. I have always been scared to get into lifting however now I can't wait to see what I can lift next! Vito helped build my confidence and always corrects form....In 6 weeks I am now lifting 18kg dumbells on floor press and lat raises! At the end of the 6 week challenge I have lost 1 stone and 1 pound and 20 inches off my body ( 4 inches off stomach, 3 inches off hips, 3 inches off bum and 2 inches off each thigh! and the rest were lost evenly over my body!). I committed to training 5 times a week for the full 6 weeks and chose to give up alcohol for this time. I am not a massive drinker but really wanted to see what I could achieve. I actually hate the way alcohol and rubbish food makes me feel so for now its sober October and aiming for more personal goals! I feel happier, fitter, stronger and people close to me have shared how energised and motivated I am and that they can't believe how different I look in just 6 weeks....I am excited to see what 6 months will bring me.. yep that's right I have now joined as a member! I'm loving having my blondie bubbles and sparkle back! Vito; Thanks for building my confidence, motivating me and for creating an awesome tribe with a fantastic training atmosphere. I can't imagine not having WFS in my life! I'm addicted! Oh and thanks for the music...love a bit of 90's when I am training!

Fantastic experience: I decided to join the 6 week challenge in January and am still going. Vito is amazingly supportive and knows his stuff, not only with regards to getting fit but also the right nutrition. I've always been a slimming world girl but Vito has explained Protein and Calories in such a simple and effective way it makes sense. I have seen my body change in the past 7 months and I definitely have abs now and toned arms, ok I am never going to be stick thin, after all I am almost 50 and I do like wine, but I have never felt so strong and fit and in addition my confidence in myself has grown. Vito knows I am a human who works full time, has 2 sons and leads a busy life but this program just fits in. Ok early starts take a little while to get used to but to be honest if I don't go in the morning I really notice my mood and energy dips for the rest of the day. Our tribe is like a family, there is encouragement, laughs and determination at every session. I cannot recommend Vito enough. Ok, he is a character and has many, many, many motivating stories most about animals, but I would not trust anyone else with my fitness journey now. Thanks Vito.

Fantastic experience: I was really avoiding exercise for about 2 years and I wad finding fitness boring and exhausting, ones I've tried group session with Vito and now I am kind of addicted. The humor, the personality, the knowledge and the care he shares with every each of us is spectacular and the results on my body and my mood after just 3 weeks unbelievable. Thank you Vito

Fantastic experience: Vito is a fantastic trainer and gives a good level of support and motivation to help you achieve the best results. I was gym shy before joining but Vito has created a fantastic community where all levels feel welcome and comfortable to join in. He offers great flexibility with lots of different times to suit all schedules. Can not fault Vito and Weights for soul.

Fantastic experience: Vito is an exceptionally knowledgeable guy, who really helped me understand the connection between the muscle and the exercise. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I saw an add on social media and thought I’d give it a go after failing to fit into my favourite dress for a work christmas party! I went along to my first session alone. But it didn’t matter as the atmosphere was so friendly and open. I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. I found myself really enjoying it and working hard. Fiona and Vito are so friendly, welcoming and make the sessions fun. Both are there to support you throughout the six week programme and beyond. Each session is different and the time passes within the blink of an eye. It’s easy to work out surrounded by friendly people who couldn’t care less if you’re not a gym bunny! Your ability doesn’t matter-there is no judgement just encouragement, team spirit, hard work and often a lot of laughter. I couldn't do a single brupie or sit up on day one but after week six I was doing 50 in a session Working out three times a week with the group has been the best thing I’ve done this year. I feel so much better in myself and actually find myself feeling like I’m missing out if I can’t get there. I can see an improvement in my ability and look forward to seeing how this progresses. Give it a go... if you don’t you’ll never know!

Fantastic experience: I was in a slump with my fitness after Christmas and spent most of January thinking I should sort it out but not doing much about it. My brother-in-law mentioned some classes he’d seen, and we organised a video call one evening with Vito who talked us through the program. Instead of saying start Monday like we assumed, he invited us the next morning so there was no time to back out. We got up, turned up and haven’t looked back. Within a week I had dropped weight and was enjoying picking up weights in the gym again. The group sessions were friendly, and the training was tailored to my ability. I stuck to the early morning routine and getting up became easier as I knew I would leave the gym more energised, ready for my working day with a clear head. Over the course of 6 weeks, I got on board with the nutrition advice and saw real gains in my strength while steadily losing fat and building muscle. Without doubt, this course was the kick start I needed. I have now continued with a mixture of personalised weights and group circuit sessions, focusing on lifting heavier and increasing my fitness further. Massive thanks to Vito and Fiona for the motivation and excellent advice throughout.

Fantastic experience: I started here in January, as I wanted to take my fitness levels up more and learn/ use different equipment. I'm really enjoying being push beyond my levels and more importantly learning how to do things properly. Vito and Fiona really listen to you and help you with any goals you have!

Fantastic experience: Such a positive experience! I only joined for 6 weeks and in that short space of time, Vito managed to get me out of my rut of thinking I was no longer fit and able to train hard! Yes there was lots of sweat, lots of hearing that, 'nothing worse could happen that day!' but there was also lots of smiles and the most amazing feeling of realising for myself that I am able to work hard and keep fit, regardless of my age! Thanks Vito! I also smashed my first Ultra marathon with my new mindset. Why wait any longer, give yourself a healthy surprise!

Fantastic experience: After a web chat introduction about my goals and what Weights for Soul offer, I decided to sign up for the 6 week challenge I lost ~8Kg and significantly improved by fitness levels during the challenge! The courses are easy to book (via an app) & available early or late in the day. There is constant variation in the class exercises instructed by Vito and Fiona, alongside in-depth nutrition guidance to help reach your goals. The classes are challenging, fun and it's a friendly/encouraging group of like minded people working-out. If you do your bit regarding accountability & nutrition, they'll get you results! It's also not just about the 6 weeks, after the challenge I've stayed on as a regular member to continue my fitness goals with Weights for Souls.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the 6 week challenge and it was an amazing experience. The support and guidance was second to none and the online platform was full of information and check lists to keep you focused. I would highly recommend Vito and his team to anyone looking to get fit and or shift some weight. Phil

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing sessions at Weights for Soul for a few months and Vito and Fiona are great trainers. I’ve had great help with improving my workouts and learnt a lot about nutrition. They’ve made a really positive difference!

Fantastic experience: Amazing. Vito and Fiona really know their stuff and go the extra mile with help and support. Small group sessions to suit anyone. Ladies only, Gents only or Ladies and Gents mixed sessions with various times Mon - Sat. Workouts are fun and get switched about with mini games inbetween each exercise so no day is same.

Fantastic experience: Vito is an amazing personal trainer. He makes every work out hard but enjoyable he is friendly and dedicated at getting the right diet and work out just right for you. I couldn’t recommend a better trainer so glad we went with him.

Fantastic experience: Vito is great. He is very knowledgable and pushes you but knows whether you’re at your limit or are being lazy. His sessions are hard but always fun, he makes hard work enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Weights For Soul for a few years now. I love the group classes and style of training Vito uses. The sessions are always fun and a enjoyable for all ages, shapes and sizes. My fitness has 100% improved as well as my mental health. After having my first child I got back into training with WFS. Vito was very understanding and didn’t push me too hard whilst I got back into the stride of things. Get involved with the group sessions you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Vito by a good friend and the timing was perfect for what I was thinking of doing. The reality of it though was that without a PT such as Vito I would not have achieved the results to date. Vito is very conscious of my limitations but also ensures that I constantly look to improve my performance. The goal of greater stability and strength is being achieved but with it comes greater energy and vitality. His knowledge of physiology ensures I can always work out, even when I have managed to damage my body, golfing or gardening . I look forward to continuing to work with Vito going forward.

Fantastic experience: Vito is both highly professional, knowledgeable and an honestly caring good guy who at my ripe old age of 73 I trust with my fitness - both physical and metal Workouts with Vito are life enhancing - I can recommend to him highly

Fantastic experience: Training with Vito, Jake and the team has been a real game changer. Having tried gyms, online classes and in person classes, I knew I needed something in person and something in a team. These sessions have been perfect - the motivation and camaraderie you get from the whole gang is second to none. I am now seeing real results in fitness and strength. Thank you Vito!

Fantastic experience: Weights For Soul is a great place to be whatever your ability , Vito and Jake ensure that sessions work for everyone . If you are looking for a fun, inclusive , positive and friendly approach to exercise then this is perfect. Don’t hesitate join up!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars all the way for Vito. With various health conditions I have always found it difficult to work out and stick to a regime. Vito listens to what you’re telling him and tailors your work out plan to suit. He knows when to push you to get better results and when to support you when you’re not feeling your best. The whole atmosphere of the gym is friendly and I’ve never felt uncomfortable which was a massive fear, everyone is super nice. 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Weights for Soul for nearly 3 years and it's the longest I have ever stuck with a trainer or gym. What makes Weights for Soul different is the personal approach that Vito gives, he is always there to help with weight loss and nutrition. For the last year 10 months I have been doing PT with Vito and this has been a game changer for me. Having 1-1 sessions alongside 2 classes a week with either Vito and Jake has made realise how Important being active is along side nutrition. 2 stone down 3 more to go but I couldn't have done it with any other support. If you want individual support, a laugh and banter, meet new friends and train hard and see results then Weights for Soul is the place. Amazing people and business.

Fantastic experience: Weights for Soul is by far the best place I have ever trained. I joined in June 2020 and do personal training with Vito and classes alongside. Vito and Jake are great coaches and really know how to keep you motivated and push you at the same time! I've seen massive results in just 6 months and can't imagine training anywhere else! If you're also looking for nutrition advice Vito really knows his stuff and helps with meal planning too! The Weights for Soul tribe is a small but friendly group and make you feel welcome from day one! Don't delay and join the tribe today!

Fantastic experience: Vito has adapted quickly this year offering online classes to ensure we are still working towards our fitness goals and is holding us to account even in lockdowns. He is always positive and shares motivational messages for self improvement both physically and mentally. I would recommend to anyone, thanks Vito!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Vito’s gym for over 2 years now after being recommended by my daughter. I really enjoy the classes and the enthusiasm and motivation I receive in the classes. I find the weights and weight bearing classes beneficial to me as I’m in my early 50s and have osteoporosis run in my family and have definitely felt an improvement in parts of my body especially wrists and feet and knees. I would definitely recommend his gym .

Fantastic experience: I’m in my mid-fifties and was beginning to recognise that I needed to do something about my strength and fitness in order to stop the irritating aches that we start to experience around these years. I turned to Vito and Weights for Soul and I haven’t regretted that decision for a minute! I love the physical meetings; I’ve been given so much support and encouragement from Vito and the other gym users but more than that, I have so much fun. Yes I work hard but we play hard too. The motivation I feel is second to none. During Lockdown 2 we moved to online and for anyone who like me works at a desk, the ability to do a 45 minute class online was great to get me moving but also for mental well-being. Do I recommend these guys: totally!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Weights for Soul for over a year now and have loved every session! Vito and Jake are great Coaches and very patient! Whether you want to build muscle or lose weight, Weights for Soul is the right place, it is in a small setting with small groups, super friendly, kind members make you feel welcome. Don’t hesitate... join and enjoy getting healthier and fitter ️‍♀️️

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Everyone is very friendly. If you lack motivation and get bored which is my Problem then this is the gym for you. I have spent years going to the gym, classes. Spinning....p/t sessions....just about everything! But I can honestly say that Vito (who I think is a bit crazy ) works me harder than anyone! He mixes it up every time so you never know what’s coming. He makes sure your doing it right and just when you think you can’t do anymore he gets more out of you. Love it!!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Weights for Soul and the brilliant trainers Vito and Jake enough! I've been going now for 4 months and in that time have made huge improvements to my physical and mental strength. I suffered from a slipped disc last year that took me out of action and I am so much stronger, fitter and happier than I could ever imagine. The group sessions are alot of fun and change each time. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys!
