Energy for Life Fitness, Yoga & Pilates: Opinions
Fantastic experience: A lovely experience for a hen do!
Thanks so much for your lovely review, Esha! We’re so glad you enjoyed the hen do Pilates class with us and hope the rest of your Brighton weekend was just as fun.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to yoga classes at energy for life for a couple of months and am so happy ive found this studio. The teachers are all great, the space lovely and the yoga community friendly and welcoming
Thank you, Tash. We're so glad you found us and that you’re enjoying the classes, the studio and the community. It’s great having you with us and we really appreciate your 5 star review.
Fantastic experience: I can’t rate this gym highly enough. The classes here are fantastic and the instructors create a friendly, fun and supportive atmosphere. I’ve been coming for 6 months after my exercise ground to a halt and love that strength training and fitness are now central to my week. Thanks especially for supporting me to exercise through a first pregnancy and miscarriage, being able to come to these classes has been restorative and helped me feel strong.
Hi Rebecca, thank you so much for sharing this. We’re really touched by your words and so glad that the classes and community have been a supportive space for you over the past six months. It means a lot to hear that coming to EFL has helped you feel strong and restored. We're grateful to have you with us and really appreciate your kind review.
Fantastic experience: Energy for Life is a fantastic yoga studio with a wonderful, calming atmosphere. I was very nervous before my first class and Emma soon put my mind at rest, answering any questions I had beforehand and making me feel very welcome. I have now been going to yoga classes here for 3 years and absolutely love it. All the yoga teachers are so welcoming, friendly and so experienced. I have met some really lovely people here too!
Thank you so much, Sally. We're so happy to hear how welcome you felt from the start and that yoga has become such a consistent and enjoyable part of your routine. It's always lovely seeing you in the studio, and we're really glad you've found connection, calm and community here. We appreciate your kind words and love having you with us. Tom and Emma x
Fantastic experience: Energy for Life is so much more than a gym. It's a community. I've never been a gym person but I've been coming here every week for a year and a half now. I started off doing pilates once or twice a week and I'm now doing functional fitness and some strength training as well pilates. I'm so much stronger and fitter as a result and have met some lovely people along the way. Can't recommend enough!
Thank you so much, Kate. This is such a lovely review to read! We're really glad you've found your groove with us, and it’s amazing to hear how your strength and fitness have grown over time. It's exactly what we hope for, a place where people feel supported, get stronger, and connect with others along the way. Thank you for being such a valued part of EFL, Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: So glad I found Energy for Life since I moved to Brighton. I've been attending for almost 3 years and love all the classes here and the community feeling, meeting lots of great people in an inclusive and welcoming space. All the instructors are brilliant. At first I felt like I didn't know what I was doing and the careful help and instruction was hugely valuable in building my confidence. When I started, I particularly enjoyed the functional fitness, outdoor hiit and strength classes. More recently I've really got into Calisthenics with Arty. Totally out my comfort zone to begin with, but over time I've learnt to love the playful aspect of these classes and built confidence with different techniques. I've massively felt the benefit, I honestly feel healthier than I did 10 years ago and I attribute lots of this to the classes I've attended. If you're not sure, I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try!
Thanks so much, Richard. We're really glad you found us and it’s been a pleasure having you as part of the crew over the past few years. It's brilliant to hear how your confidence has grown and how much you're getting out of the classes, especially stepping into calisthenics and finding that playful side.
Fantastic experience: Energy For Life is such an amazing gym. I’ve tried lots of fitness classes and routines over the years and my top 3 requirements aside from getting fit are that it is Fun, Friendly and Accessible. Energy For Life ticks all these boxes. I had 6 months of health issues and very little exercise I really needed to get my fitness back, in just 2 weeks I’m already feeling so much better- more energy, brighter mood and my tummy is flattening out!!! Very happy!!!!
Thanks so much, Becky! We’re really happy to hear you’re feeling better and enjoying being back in a routine — and love that EFL is ticking all the right boxes for you. Fun, friendly and accessible is exactly what we’re aiming for, so this means a lot. Great to have you with us! Tom and Emma x
Fantastic experience: Such a great community and the quality of the teaching is superb . Cannot recommend enough
Thanks so much, Vicki! We really appreciate your kind words — so glad you’re enjoying the community and the classes. It means a lot!
Fantastic experience: I love my yoga practices at Energy for Life! I have visited many yoga studios over the years and this is by far the best. All the teachers are great - they are friendly, non-judgemental, knowledgeable and approachable. They adapt their classes and offer helpful variations of the postures to meet everyone’s needs and levels. I particularly enjoy Emma’s Strong Yoga Flow. Her practices are very well thought out and planned, focusing on different parts of the body each lesson throughout the week. Her instructions are clear, with an element of fun, with occasional insightful thoughts and quotes across a range of topics from literature, philosophy and physiology. The studio offers a range of practices throughout the day so I often like to start with a Strong Yoga Flow or finish it with a lovely relaxing Yin - I always come away feeling great! The studio is also very friendly and inclusive running fun events and get togethers - sometimes at other locations, which are free and open to friends and family to join in with too!
Thanks so much, Jan — what a lovely review to read! We're so glad you've found a home for your yoga practice at EFL. It means a lot to hear how much you value the teaching, the variety of classes, and the welcoming feel of the studio. I'll make sure Emma sees your kind words too — she puts so much thought into her classes, and it’s great to know that shines through. Thanks again for being such a valued part of the community — we really appreciate you! Tom
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, feels super inclusive and not scary at all when attending classes for the first time as everyone is so friendly and encouraging. Sounds extreme but joining and attending regularly has really changed my life
Thanks so much, Madeleine — we really appreciate this. We're so glad you felt welcome right from the start, and it's amazing to hear what a positive impact being part of EFL has had for you. That kind of feedback means a lot to us. Thanks for being part of the community — we’re so happy to have you as part of the crew!
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Energy for life since 2018, the centre has become such an important part of my health and wellbeing routine. Tom and Emma have helped me keep in shape through the early years of parenthood. I tend to go to Charlie’s Saturday morning dynamic classes and Ben’s functional fitness sessions for a nice balance. I love Emma’s yoga and her ability to hold the space, get me into my body and explore movement fluidly. I have been apart of two RESETS which have changed the way I relate to food, exercise and meditation. I so appreciate you both and the community you have created xxx
Thanks so much, Lucy — this really means a lot. It’s been a pleasure having you with us over the years, and we’re so glad EFL has been a steady part of your routine, especially during those early parenting years. Sounds like you’ve found a great balance with the classes, and we’re really happy the RESETS have made a difference too. Big thanks for being such a valued part of the community — we really appreciate you. x
Fantastic experience: Very high standard of teaching with teachers who are clearly experienced, each one bringing a high level of knowledge, expertise and passion
Thanks so much, Lisa! That means a lot to us. We’re super lucky to have such a passionate and experienced team, and it’s brilliant to hear that comes across in class. So glad you’re enjoying it and part of the EFL crew!
Fantastic experience: A very welcoming, happy and peaceful place to do yoga. Feel really comfortable and looked after.
Hi Kayla, thank you for your 5 star review of our yoga classes and yoga studio. We're are really glad you are enjoying Energy for Life
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Brighton! It’s mostly class based and all areas have amazing teachers! Yoga, Pilates, strength, conditioning, calisthenics classes and more. The crowd is kind, friendly and good vibes. I joined Energy for Life just after having my son and the owners and teachers were super attentive and supportive, with personalised care and genuine kindness ❤️
Thats so kind of you to say Ana. Thanks for being part of EFL and we look forward to assisting you in finding more and more strength, flexibility and health. All the best, Emma
Fantastic experience: Really cute little space, with an onsite carpark (unheard of in Brighton) I have been attending the calisthenics and thoroughly enjoying it!
Hi Rebekah, thanks for this lovely 5 star review of our calisthenics classes and studio and our precious off street parking! See you at a class soon, the EFL Team ✅
Fantastic experience: I only attend one class at EFL regularly (handstands) but it's genuinely one of the most fun, supportive and technical classes I've found in Brighton. Every class is different, carefully planned and thoughtfully delivered by one of the best coaches I've come across. It's great for beginners and people with a bit of experience or body awareness. It's also fun. Which is really important and often overlooked. I highly rate the space, equipment, facilities, location all fantastic and there are a really variety of classes on offer here.
 Hi Lucy, Thanks for your lovely review of our handstands classes on Saturday mornings. We're really glad you are enjoying the classes, and rate the teacher, the space and equipment so highly. See you soon (upside down!),
The EFL Team.
Fantastic experience: I've started regularly attending Energy for Life classes since having my baby, and I can't thank the team enough for helping me return to exercise in a safe and informed way. I started off doing Pilates which has strengthened my core and aided my recovery. I've now been able to introduce functional fitness and strength classes and am starting to feel strong again! The instructors and the other members of the gym have made me feel welcome, and I look forward to each class. Tom and Emma have built something really special here, and I'm so pleased to have found it! I would recommend to anyone, but crucially to postpartum women looking to return to exercise.
Hi Eleanor , thank you for leaving such a positive review. It’s really great to know you’ve felt safe, supported and informed along the way so far. And to hear you are feeling stronger. Looking forward to helping you progress even further. Tom and Emma and the EFL Team
Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever been a member of. So the least intimidating, most friendly place. I can’t recommend it enough!
Hi Kitty, thank you so much for leaving us a 5 star review. We are really glad you found our studio and appreciate the friendly community vibes! See you in class soon, Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: We love Energy for Life. We've been training with Tom for over a year now and he managed to tailor each session keeping it fun while upping the intensity so it stays the right side of challenging.
Thanks Rowan. It’s been a pleasure to work with you both. Looking forward to seeing what we can achieve in 2025
Fantastic experience: Energy for Life is the place to be for all your fitness and wellbeing classes! Every single teacher I’ve trained with has been absolutely brilliant, knows their stuff and gives you a big warm welcome. Wouldn’t train anywhere else now I’ve tried here!
Thanks for your review of what we do, who we are and what we stand for. We are very proud of our amazing team of teachers so its great that you appreciate them and feel welcome at our studio.
Positive experience: Wonderful to do the reset with full advice and support from Emma, Tom and the group. It's made a huge difference. Including yoga classes in the rest has enabled me to get back to exercise after an injury.
Hi Jenny, thank you for your review. You are doing really well on our 30 Day Health RESET. Brilliant to hear that the yoga classes are helping too. It's been great to be able to support you on your health journey. Keep going!
Fantastic experience: I love Energy For Life! Brilliant yoga and Pilates, plus fantastic functional fitness and strength classes. Tom and Emma and all the teachers are amazing xxx
Hi Rosie, thank you for leaving us such a positive review. It's a pleasure to have you as a member of our gang since 2016!!!
Fantastic experience: Energy for Life is friendly, fun and inclusive. All their live classes are high quality and their reset programme which runs 4 times a year is life-changing. 100% recommend.
Hi Victoria, thanks for your positive review. So glad you’ve enjoyed all the fitness, yoga and mum and toddler classes you’ve attended over the years. Plus the 30 day reset that you completed with us. The results you have achieved have been amazing and full deserved. Thanks Tom and Emma, energy for life fitness.
Fantastic experience: I had never been to a gym in my life but couldn't have been happier with my experiences at Energy for Life! Its a really welcoming, inclusive, supportive and community driven place. The trainers are very calm, quick to adapt, highly skilled and also, importantly, really nice people! Highly recommended
Hi Theo, thank you for your review. We are really glad to hear you are enjoying your Strength classes at EFL. You are progressing really well, keep up the consistency!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Energy For Life for the last 6 months or so. It’s the first studio I’ve consistently wanted to come back to which says a lot for me. I love the variety in the classes, they are designed to push and challenge while also being completely considered of people’s ability’s with absolutely no ego or judgment involved. All the teachers here are equally incredible which I personally think is pretty rare thing in Brighton!! I’ve always focused on strength and tend to over push myself but after taking advice I’ve started incorporating Lucy’s Pilates and now some yoga into my week. It’s been really great to mix things up depending on how my body is feeling and gives me the option to stay consistent. EFL is fun, friendly, inclusive and such a gorgeous community to be part of. I love this studio so so much!!!! Tom and Emma really have created something special here and I can’t imagine wanting to train anywhere else. I’ve definitely found my training tribe x
wow thanks Kelly for such a detailed review of your experience at our studio. we're very grateful that you found your training tribe with us at EFL. we're really glad we have been able to support you on your journey over the last 6 months and the team will continue to do so. Looking forward to seeing what 2025 has instore for your health & fitness.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, top trainers who know their stuff. All sessions are well thought out & put together. Great mix of clients, age & fitness wise but EFL works for all. Probably the best gym/workouts I've done.
Cheers Karl for giving us a 5 star review. Its great to have you as part of our crew and are super glad you found us!
Fantastic experience: I love the functional fitness and strength classes at Energy for Life. I’ve never tried anything like this before but the teachers are all very knowledgeable and supportive I’ve progressed at my own pace and enjoyed every session. I can definitely feel the improvements and I would highly recommend giving it a try
Hi Kat, thanks for leaving such a detailed review. We’re really happy that you found us and are enjoying your classes so much. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Emma & Tom run the most amazing fitness studio right in the heart of Hanover. I love their yoga, strength and functional fitness classes! Emma & Tom are fantastic instructors and there are always lots of friendly faces in class. It is great value for money and a beautiful environment to work out. I highly recommend!
Hi Cinnamon, thanks for your really detailed review. It's been so great to have you join our community and help you train for all your amazing marathon running efforts. Keep up the great work. Tom and Em
Fantastic experience: My partner and I both go to classes multiple times per week, we absolutely love it. It’s infinitely better than normal gyms or classes
Thanks for leaving us such a positive review. So glad you are loving the classes at EFL.
Fantastic experience: Energy for Life is a very special place! Run by the amazing Emma and Tom, it's the kind of place where the trainers are not only super knowledgeable but also inspiring and a lot of fun. Plus, it's a super welcoming space for everyone!
Ah Carly, thanks for your review and for being part of our crew. You did your first class at EFL in 2019, its been amazing to witness you get super fit and strong over these 5 years.
Fantastic experience: Tom Emma and the EFL team are a breath of fresh air in the world of fitness. Fresh routines and great coaching, in a kind caring community, in a local environment at reasonable prices, what more can you ask for?
Hi Tom thanks for your great review. Really glad you are enjoying our strength and fitness classes. It’s been awesome seeing you get stronger and fitter since you started with us.
Fantastic experience: Great place, really nice studio space and a lovely community vibe. The classes are brilliant, highly skilled teachers who really know their stuff and very inclusive/easily adaptable to any level of fitness.
Hi Zara, thanks for your review of you experience at Energy for Life so far. We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed your first class and hope to see you again soon. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Incredible studio for fitness and yoga. Tom and Emma have built a fantastic community and life changing classes. Thank you for helping me be the fittest I’ve ever been. Update: 8 years straight with Energy for Life and still loving it!
You are 100% welcome Ryan, thank you for being such an important member of our community over the last 8 years. Looking forward to more years and more Spartan races to come!
Fantastic experience: I had my first class today and thought it was exceptionally good and the coach really knew her stuff. Will be coming back lots more. Many thanks, Steve.
Hey Steve, thanks giving us a 5 star review of your first strength class at Energy for Life. We look forward to seeing you back again for more classes at our studio. Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: Warm and inclusive community fitness. Great teachers and a welcoming and inclusive environment. Emma and Tom do a wonderful job of creating a sense of community and all the teachers are a very high calibre. Really makes a difference to making fitness fun.
Hi Linsey, thank you for leaving us a lovely review. We're chuffed to bits that you love the classes that you come to at Energy for Life and find the community vibe welcome, warm and inclusive. See you soon, Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: After some searching I have finally found an organisation delivering a professional and reliable Pilates class. One of the great things about Vincent’s Tuesday morning class is the breadth of experience he caters for: beginner to experienced, you can take his instructions as easily or as difficult as you feel at the time. No pressure. And the variety of moves ensures that all bits of the body are addressed and challenged. I really enjoy his class and am so glad to have found it. Highly recommended.
Hi Nicholas, thank you for taking the time to provide us with a detailed 5 star review of our Pilates classes. We're really glad you are enjoying your classes at Energy for Life.
Fantastic experience: I initially bought a one day weekly pass to try out strength training , but at the end of week one , decided to move to twice weekly . It’s great and at the end of my first month , am already feeling the benefits in increased strength and fitness . I run regularly and am constantly injuring myself , so increasing overall strength is vital , plus as I get older I’m concerned about maintaining bone density. The sessions are enjoyable. They are in small groups and attention is paid to individuals in order ensure correct posture and positioning. It’s a lovely friendly establishment and I can’t recommend it enough. Wish I’d discovered it before!
Hi Jane, thank you for leaving us such a lovely review. it's been amazing to see you getting stronger each week. Keep up the consistent attendance! Thanks, Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this place enough! Beautiful cosy space with incredible sessions. Something for everyone & for whatever level you’re at. Emma & the team have created a special community & classes that feel warm, inviting & lots of fun!
Hi CJ, thanks for leaving us such a positive review. We’re so glad you have loved your yoga classes with us. See you soon, Tom and Em
Fantastic experience: A friend recommended Emma's yoga lessons at Energy for Life about six weeks ago. Since then I have been going to her flow yoga classes 1-3 times per week. There is a good selection of classes and teachers throughout each day - enough to fit in with any schedule. The space is clean, warm and light. Most importantly, Emma is a great teacher: creative, curious, generous and compassionate. No two lessons are the same. I find them highly beneficial and recommend them!
Thanks so much for your kind words Persephone, so lovely to have you in class. Emma
Fantastic experience: I did five sessions while I was visiting Brighton, and would really recommend! I picked strong flow yoga, pilates and functional fitness, and the sessions were varied and challenging - I wish I lived nearby and could stay signed up!
Hey Sarah, thanks for leaving us a great review. We are super glad you enjoyed your visit to Brighton and your mix of Pilates, Yoga and Fitness classes at Energy for Life. Hopefully we see you again soon when you visit again! Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: Pilates class was amazing!
Thank you for leaving a 5 star review of the Pilates class you came to. We are really glad you thought it was amazing . Hope to see you again for more classes, Team EFL
Fantastic experience: I have a neurological condition which affects my balance and coordination, so I started going to the Handstand and Calisthenics class at Energy For Life. The class is so relaxed (thanks to Ben) which was great as I was quite nervous. I am slowly improving, I'll never be the same as I was but I definitely feel I'm making the most of what I've got.
Hi Janie, thanks for sharing a bit of your story and we are so glad you felt brave enough to give handstands a go. We have definitely seen you improve greatly at them so keep it going. Well done!
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a place with different kind of workout and EFL fulfilled my expectations!! You can find Strength, Functional Training, Yoga, Pilates and Calisthenics!! Everything in one place! The coaches are really good! They explain every single movement and they always are worried about you and your experience during the training! I full recommend this amazing place! :)
Hi Martha, thanks so much for you 5 star review. It's been a pleasure training with you and we are sad that you'll be heading home to South America soon. You are welcome back anytime!
Fantastic experience: I started using energy for life from Shropshire via the online library after it was highly recommended to me by a friend, after twelve months the universe sent me on my way to Brighton and I relocated in Kemptown, I now attend classes at the studio. The studio, staff and the classes (mostly yin, I can’t get enough of it) are wonderfully uplifting, every time I visit it feels like someone has pressed a magical reset button for me. Feeling blessed to have found this little sanctuary by the sea.
Thanks so much for your lovely review Rebecca. It was lovely to meet you last night. And I look forward to many more in-person meetings soon. Also, I’m not sure if I mentioned it but we have our 8 year birthday party tonight at The Setting Sun from 7pm. It would be lovely to see you there if you’re free. Emma
Fantastic experience: After many years of feeling unengaged going to a regular gym and not really heading in the right direction with my goals, I’ve now found Energy for Life. I realised that I am motivated by classes, having fun and being with others. Every instructor is amazing, down to earth and considerate of individual differences. The culture and atmosphere is incredible and I have been gradually increasing the amount of classes I have been taking. I now look forward to exercise. We have fun and I push myself more than I would do at a regular gym. I feel the difference in my body and generally feel more energised and positive. Still early in my journey but making excellent progress.
Hi Tim, thanks for your lovely review of your experience so far at Energy For Life. So glad you have found the love for training again, that you are enjoying the classes and teachers and the vibe at the studio. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Very professional trainers. Classes are hard but fun. Always leave them energised
Janis, thanks for your review. We pride ourselves on our amazing team of teachers. As well as getting people to have fun and work hard at the same time. See you soon for some more strength and fitness classes.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy my classes at Energy For Life, I am someone that always struggled getting myself up and out to the Gym, but I look forward to going to these sessions. The atmosphere is supportive, every session is inclusive, no matter what your skill level. I joined as a complete beginner, tried out all the different classes and then continued with the ones I enjoyed the most. I would definitely reccomend going here to anyone!
Hi Joy thank you for your honest review. I’m really glad that you have changed the way your feel about exercise and now look forward to coming to our classes. Keep us the awesome attendance.
Fantastic experience: I've been attending energy for life since March to help build strength and fitness for my team sport, it has helped hugely, the whole team are wonderful, supportive and inclusive, it's really helped me stick at it and I actually enjoy waking up for the 6am class (most of the time!) I've been to strength training, outdoor fitness and yoga so far and hope to keep adding to it!
Hi Hayley, thank you for leaving us such a positive review. You’ve been an awesome member of the 6:15am squad and it’s been amazing to witness your strength gains so far.
Fantastic experience: I love Energy For Life. The instructors are friendly and very welcoming. I’ve been to both the strength and yoga classes and love how the instructors will adapt movements to make the classes as inclusive as possible. I always feel great afterwards. A real gem of a gym.
Hi jumoke, thanks for your 5 star review of our studio. We’re really glad you are enjoying strength as well as yoga classes with us. See you soon
Fantastic experience: Energy of Life is excellent! Trainers are really knowledgeable with great energy, and the atmosphere is always inclusive and welcoming. I'd really recommend it - especially Tom's functional fitness class, which is currently my favourite. Best functional training and fitness class in Brighton!
Hi Joanna, thanks for leaving us a 5 star review. We’re really glad you are enjoying the functional training and mobility classes we run. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I’m currently attending the Functional Fitness classes at Energy for Life and really enjoy them! Challenging, different each week and, most of all, lots of fun. I’m getting stronger and fitter each week that I go which is the goal. Tom is a great instructor going through each exercise and adapting it, if need be, for the individual. The centre is very welcoming, has great instructors and a lovely bunch of clients. I’d highly recommend coming along!
Hey Sarah, thank you for leaving such a detailed review of your experience at Energy for Life. It’s been amazing to watch your strength and confidence increase week by week. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and welcoming fitness and yoga studio, with great facilities, a varied range of classes and highly supportive and insightful instructors. Always come out feeling 100x better and also, satisfyingly, incrementally fitter after each visit.
Hi Jon, thanks for leaving us a review. It’s good to hear you are enjoying your training and feeling the benefits of attending classes consistently. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending classes at Energy for Life for around 3 years, starting strength training for the first time in my early 40s. It is truly the most welcoming, expert, inclusive environment, with kind, friendly, professional staff who care about what they do. There’s a real sense of community too and that means everything when you’re starting something new. I’m the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been and intend to stay that way with Tom and the team’s support
Hi Caireen, thank you for your review and for sharing your experience of strength training at Energy for life as well as how it has transformed your fitness and strength. thanks for being part of our early morning squad! Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: This is a great studio, especially as a newcomer to pilates. The mat pilates classes are challenging (in the best way) but every instructor gives great optional modifications to make it more or less challenging based on your level. Really love coming here, and the room has a beautiful view of the sea!
Hi grace, thanks for leaving such a detailed review of our Pilates classes, and our awesome teachers too. See you soon. Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: Very glad i found this place. The sessions proposed are great. Instructors are brilliant. Good vibes from everyone and very peaceful environment.
Hi Marie, thank you for leaving us a 5 star review. We're glad you found us too and that you are enjoying the classes, teachers and vibes! See you soon, Tom , Emma and the team.
Fantastic experience: Energy for Life classes have given me energy for my working and recreational life. Each class has a variation of activities so it doesn't feel repeatative or boring. The instructors are engaging and attentive to individual needs - offering adaptions of different exercises when needed. The atmosphere feels relaxed and fun, without feeling intimidating or competitive. It feels very welcoming to all body types and fitness stages, with a genuine inclusive approach for people improving their individual strength and fitness. From these classes I have a different relationship to my body, instead of doing exercises from a self-critism angel, I feel more connected in a healthy and positive way to what my body can do and how good it feels to have a balanced strength and fitness. I strongly recommend these classes, as I started my comment, they give me energy for life. my anxiety at work has leveled, and I have been able to learn new sports and comitt to ambitious hikes.
Thanks for your amazing review Steph. See you soon x
Fantastic experience: Feels more like a family than a gym :-)
Hey D, Thanks for this 5 star review. We love having you as part of the family!
Fantastic experience: Such a great vibe at EFL. They manage to make the classes so fun, it’s really relaxed yet you can still go for it should you desire. It feels like a judgement free zone with great interesting work outs and really nice teachers. Lovely mix of ages at the gym too.
Hi A Dubz, thank you for your great review of what we do. We’re made up that you found the work outs fun and interesting and felt like it’s a judgement free zone. That’s something we really wanted to create. A space for where everyone can feel comfortable. Thanks. Tom and Emma x
Fantastic experience: THE best yoga studio I have ever been to. The classes are great for all levels, the instructors are incredibly helpful and precise and the vibe of the studio is gorgeous. Not to mention the owners are incredibly accommodating and helpful. I love this place so much that I even subscribe to their online class database so I can do classes when I'm on holiday! 11/10 couldn't recommend this place more!
Hi Jess, wow! Thanks for your amazing review of our yoga and Pilates classes and the studio as a whole. Top work on using the recorded class library too while you are away from the studio. Keep up the consistency, see you soon, Em and Tom
Fantastic experience: I love this place. Great venue, even better trainers. I feel soooo much fitter since starting. Because it's a small place, you really get to know the other people who go there, which is great. Cannot recommend them enough!!!
Thanks for your review Rob. You've done so well since starting in October 22 - super consistent, working super hard and making some super friends. Its great to hear you feel so much fitter, you deserve it and look it too ;-)
Fantastic experience: I joined Energy for Life about 6 months ago because I hoped going to a gym would help alleviate my work stress (which it does) with very little thought about fitness. Since then, the team have completely changed my mind about what it is to be a healthy person. They very much focus on being active to promote a happy, healthy life. There are no mirrors and no nonsense about weightloss or getting 'shredded'. The gym offers a variation of classes from ying yoga to strength training. All the classes are run by expert trainers, each with different styles, so that no two sessions are the same. If you end up becoming a regular the monthly subscription is incredibly good value for money. There is a lovely sense of community when you are at Energy for Life and I have met many interesting fellow gym-goers. Emma and Tom have built an amazing team and a fantastic gym. I am very grateful for all their time and effort. The only shame is they haven't opened a second gym in hove yet....
Hi Lorna, thanks for leaving such a personal and detailed review of your experience at EFL. We're so glad to have helped change the way you think about being fit and healthy. Sorry we don't have a studio in Hove near your new home. We hope you can still pop in every now and then for a class to say hi. Tom and Em x
Positive experience: Fun, professional, and knowledgeable coaches. I highly recommend Tom and his entire team. The routines are varied and always something to look forward to.
Hi Digga, thanks for leaving us a solid 4 star review. We're really glad you are enjoying your training with us and look forward to your classes. You improved so much in a really short amount of time. Keep it up! Tom
Fantastic experience: Simply put, I've never had a bad experience here! I go regularly to 'upstairs' classes (yoga/pilates) and 'downstairs' classes (fitness, strength, calisthenics) and every time I leave feeling lifted, physically and mentally. The teachers are passionate and knowledgeable, there is zero ego and a LOT of laughter. Tom and Emma, you have created a magical space for our community. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your gorgeous words Rose. We love having you as part of the community and we love helping you find that 'lift' time and time again. Keep up the amazing work.
Fantastic experience: This is the most amazing place! Such kind and lovely people who create a really positive and welcoming atmosphere. I felt comfortable from my very first session. Highly recommended!
Hi Camilla, thank you for leaving us a review. We're really glad you felt part of the community straight away and that you are enjoying your classes with us. See you soon, Tom and Em
Fantastic experience: I have enjoyed every class I have had with this gym, and really like the range that they do so you don’t get bored or stuck in a rut. I have also found the other members to be incredibly inclusive and friendly. If you get the chance to do one of their resets it’s very good to understand nutrition and how to better your daily habits to get more out of life.
Thanks for your great review Alex. We’re super happy that you are enjoying your strength, fitness, yoga and Pilates classes. As well as feeling part of our welcoming community. You did so well on the 30 day health reset. We’re looking forward to seeing your progress in 2023. See you soon, Tom and em x
Fantastic experience: Energy for Life has helped me become stronger, fitter and healthier in a relatively short time. The thoughtful, intelligent classes are excellent from start to finish and are always interesting and motivating. All the teachers are carefully chosen for their expert knowledge and close personal guidance. They are always happy to explain details or different options for maximum benefits. I’m very grateful to Tom and Emma for creating such a great training/practising environment, which is also full of lovely people too :-)
Hi Annabel, thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed review of what we do at EFL. We're so glad you are back at the studio and loving it again. Keep up all your hard work in classes! See you in the studio soon, Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: Excellent studio offering a range of classes which just keep growing and growing. Tom and Emma who run it, work alongside a host of other amazing trainers and instructors - I don't think I have been to a class I havn't enjoyed! There is a real sense of community to EFL and it is great to hang out with like-minded souls. The reset programme that they offer throughout the year is great and I totally recommend if you want to kick-start a new routine and learn to nourish your body physically, nutritionally, and emotionally.
Hi Julia, thanks for leaving a review. Great to hear how much you enjoy our strong flow yoga classes. See you on the mat soon, Emma and Tom
Fantastic experience: Discovering EFL has been life-changing. The classes, particularly Functional Fitness, has resolved all kinds of issues for me, stemming from a weak core and lack of strength. The addition of lifestyle and nutritional improvements, via the 30 Day Reset, has started me off on a bit of a nutritional journey - changing some bad habits and eating for optimum health. The classes provide a wonderful, inspiring, supportive environment, full of brilliant class-mates, all on a ride to make change, whatever age or background. Thank you, Emma & Tom
Ah Jess, thank you for sharing you EFL journey so far to inspire others. It’s been amazing to watch your progress to date, a real transformation. Thoroughly deserved by you with all the hard work you’ve put in and for being so consistent with your efforts. x
Fantastic experience: I have been with energy for life since their humble beginnings in the basement of their house. Their new studio is wonderful and I enjoy the variety of yoga and Pilates Classes on offer throughout the week. I can’t recommend it more
Hi Rebecca, what a lovely review, thank you. It’s amazing to think you’ve been with us for 7+years now and you are still loving your yoga and Pilates classes at the studio. Thank you! Em and Tom
Fantastic experience: I've tried my fair share of gyms but Energy for Life is by far my favourite. The instructors are fantastic, attentive and super nice. There is always a clear class plan which changes week on week so you never get bored either. It's suitable for all levels as there are always options for each exercise. Highly recommend this gym!

Plenty of classes throughout the week so you can fit in a workout to suit you. Yoga room is lovely, bright & airy, a welcome class at the end of the week. I thinks it's worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Great yoga & Pilates studio in Hanover! Emma, the owner teaches a diversity of yoga classes. A pleasure and an intense exercise routine suitable for different levels. Her husband does the HIT classes in the gym. A small friendly family set up, which is refreshing after the likes of David Lloyd… a great gem and find in my neighbourhood
Hi Lory. Thanks so much for your review of what we do. So glad you are enjoying your yoga classes with us. See you soon, Tom and Emma

Hi Claudia, thank you for leaving us a 5 star review and we are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your functional fitness classes with us at Energy for Life Fitness, Yoga & Pilates. See you soon, EFL
Fantastic experience: EFL is a great find. Emma brings something new to each of her classes, small details of alignment, of which go along way, a little philosophy and fun analogies. All of this leaves you feeling refreshed, restored and re-energised! Over the years I've previously had seperate memberships from gyms to yoga studios. I equally enjoy the strength training classes here at EFL. I'm using weights in a new way, and each session includes complimentary movements, of which I feel a lot better for. It's a really nice and friendly enviroment to train in too.
Thank you Bee. So glad you are enjoying Emma’s yoga classes and you are training is well in the strength and fitness classes too. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic experience: I tried a few different classes and loved all of them. Great instructors, nice atmosphere and facilities.
Hi Monica. Thanks for your 5 star review of our classes, instructors and facilities. We look forward to training with you again soon.

Great work Carlos. Thanks for the review it’s been awesome having you onboard for the early morning strength and fitness classes. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Eliana, so glad you are enjoying our classes. You put 100% effort into every class which we love! See you soon.

Hey Sam, thanks for leaving us a 5star review. We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed your yoga classes with us and felt welcome
Fantastic experience: Absolutely lovely yoga class that really helped me to recover from a hard week of training. Felt refreshed and peaceful for days after.
Hi David, thanks for your review of the yoga class you came too. Great to know it was so beneficial for you and that it complements your other training so well.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful intimate space. Shay, my instructor for the session, was attentive and offered variations for all poses, keeping the practice both challenging and accessible to beginners. Emma has been very welcoming and prompt with correspondence. I've already bought my pass for future classes
Hi Benjamin, thank you for telling us about your first class experience at Energy for Life. We’re really glad you enjoyed it and will be coming back for more. See you soon, Tom and Emma
Fantastic experience: I’ve only been to yoga so far. The teachers are top quality. I’m a regular at Emma’s classes now and honestly, it’s changed my life for the better. I’m very fussy about yoga and Emma manages to make the classes applicable to one’s own needs so well, with a light touch of humour and great original visual images to help you go that little bit further. She can do a good strong workout in a gentle loving way and she really knows her stuff to the tiniest detail. The yin yoga is wonderful too.
Hi Bev, thank you so much for your detailed review. We're so glad you are enjoying your yoga classes at Energy for Life and they are having such a big impact on how you feel. See you on the mat, Tom and Em
Fantastic experience: Beginner at yoga and was made to feel really welcome and comfortable by Emma. The class was excellent and even though there were other people in the class, Emma still took the time to give me some individual advice due to a knee injury I have. I’ve already booked for the next class and would definitely recommend Energy for Life to anyone
Hi Paul, thanks for your feedback on what it was like to start yoga with us as a beginner. Really glad you felt welcome, supported and challenged at the right level in your yoga classes.
Fantastic experience: Exactly what I was looking for. Cardio and strength workouts focussed on good form. The instructors at Energy for Life are very knowledgeable about functional movement and correct technique. They demo exercises before sessions begin and give feedback on your form throughout the session. I'm glad to have finally found a gym like this. I have also started attending some of the yoga classes which are excellent, the perfect start to a Sunday! Thanks all at Energy for Life.
Hey Jack, thank you for the glowing review of your experience at energy for life so far. It’s been awesome coaching you, seeing you put in the consistent effort in the strength and fitness classes. And reaping the rewards of improved technique, plus strength and fitness gains
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyable. Strong classes made great fun. Very knowledgeable instructors and teachers.
Thanks for your review Richard. We're really glad to hear you have been finding the classes strong (aka challenging) and fun at the same time. You've done really well in your first month, so keep up the good work.
Fantastic experience: I’m new to Pilates but feel very comfortable in the mixed ability classes, which seem to challenge the more advanced participants while also allowing me to find my own pace. A lovely space, friendly and professional instructors, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Thanks for your feedback on how much you’ve enjoyed our mixed ability Pilates classes at Energy for Life. As you mentioned, Our aim is to make them challenging and appropriate for all levels so we’re really glad you have felt that and appreciated the friendly vibe at our studio. See you in class soon, Tom, Emma and the team.
Fantastic experience: The instructors at Energy for Life are very knowledgeable and as far as I'm concerned, each are an expert in the classes they teach. From Ben at calisthenics to Nala at Yin and Emma with many other yoga classes, I always feel like I'm in safe hands. If you are looking for a friendly, nonjudgmental place where you can get fit and strong, while simultaneously improving physical mobility and mental well-being, I would highly recommend it here :)

Fantastic experience: My best find of 2022 :) Really cool, non-judgemental studio. So far I've indulged in Yin Yoga and got my a$$ totally kicked in Nala's Functional Fitness class... and I want more! Super recommended, no matter what your level of fitness is
Hi Sylvia, thanks for your review. We’re so happy you enjoying our yoga and fitness classes and have found the studio friendly and cool. See you for more awesome classes soon. Thanks Tom and Emma
