Soulfit: Opinions
Fantastic experience: 7 years of coming to Soulfit must say it all. Every week, even when I’m on holiday (classes are online too), and I still love it and depend on it to nourish the body, and the creative mind space. It’s a community of similar souls and relaxes me the second I walk through the door, no matter how stressful the work week has been. Thank you Fiona & Gyles for creating such a great team and fabulous space.
Ah thank you so much for this Nicola! We’ve loved welcoming you in over all this years and are forever grateful for the way you cheerlead what we do x
Fantastic experience: I had the most incredible 90-minute facial and full body massage with Lisa Barrett. Everything was completely bespoke to me and what my body needed, and I left feeling deeply relaxed and cared for. Lisa created such a calm, safe and nurturing environment that allowed me to fully switch off and trust the process. Her attention to detail and the way she listened to what I needed made the experience feel truly personal. It was also amazing to have this treatment at Soulfit, such a beautiful, welcoming space. Soulfit isn’t just a studio; it offers a broad range of Yoga, Dance, Fitness & Personal Training sessions taught by some of the most talented teachers, all with specialist expertise. I can’t recommend both Lisa and Soulfit highly enough, I feel restored, renewed, and grateful!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. And couldn’t agree with you more, Lisa’s facials are next level. Cannot wait to have you open next door to us, what a High Street!!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Soulfit for a number of years now, and am still really enjoying all the classes. Great venue, lots of different types and styles of yoga so you're bound to find a class and teacher that fits what you're after, and crucially a wide range of exercise classes at pre-school/nursery times, lunch times and evenings. Fiona and Gyles run a great business, and have created a really lovely community of people in the process. Well worth a try if you haven't already.
Thanks so much for this Bevis! Love seeing how many different sessions you do each week, and how much they’ve benefited your distance running over the years
Fantastic experience: I’ve tried for years to get into classes and stick with them, but most gyms just felt impersonal — you were just a membership number and that was it. Since joining here in April, I’ve felt truly valued and supported. From the friendliest welcome from Fiona at the front desk to the caring, knowledgeable instructors, it’s a completely different atmosphere. The community is amazing — everyone encourages each other, and there’s a real sense of belonging. I’ve almost lost three stone since April (through a mix of classes and healthier eating), but more importantly, I’ve gained confidence, strength, and friends. I actually look forward to going, and that says it all!
Ah Audrey, this is why we do what we do! Thank you so much for sharing this, we love having you and seeing what a positive impact it’s having for you ;)
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Soulfit for years and always enjoy it. Very friendly crowd and always welcoming. They also have a good, wide range of classes for all abilities. Highly recommended
Thanks so much Richard.
We've loved seeing how much it's benefitted you over the years!
Fantastic experience: My little slice of heaven to start my days this week - lovely, relatable teachers that make you smile, and feel relaxed and wonderful coffee bar. Thank you <3
Fantastic experience: I have recently moved to Lewes & I came across this wonder gem of a place. I feel very welcomed by Fiona & the lovely team. It has such a warm Friendly atmosphere and I love doing the Vinyassa classes and it is improving my fitness & flexibility & my wellbeing. Will definitely recommend this amazing studio!
Ah Hayley, what a lovely thing to say - thank you so much! It's our absolute goal for people to feel welcomed into our space and to feel the benefits of physical movement, so to hear we've achieved that is so heartening. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review!
Fantastic experience: Soulfit is fabulous! The classes are very varied and I absolutely love the vinyassa classes, they help me with flexibility and strength. The new studio space is gorgeous and on a dark evening you can see stars through the skylight during savasna which is rather magical! Fiona and the team are such kind and friendly people and there is always a warm welcome to new and existing members.
Ah thank you so much for this! And stars in savasana, after a dynamic yoga practice has to be the icing on the cake We’re loving our new studio too!
Fantastic experience: This really is a fantastic gym, family run and such a friendly vibe! Highly recommend joining ….. lovely little cafe there too with great coffee and healthy food, it’s a great place to meet other like minded Lewes folk…
Ah thanks so much Nancy! We love seeing you in Boxfit each week & welcoming you in to this brilliant community
Fantastic experience: Just attended the excellent Sunday vinyasa class. I enjoyed the music and the class was both mindful and invigorating. I felt full of energy afterwards, thank you!
Thanks so much for this feedback Ruth - we’re so pleased you enjoyed Sallys class!
Fantastic experience: This is such a lovely place. So friendly and helpful. I have only used two yoga teachers Isis & Cherry - but both are wonderful.
Ah thanks so much for this! We’re so pleased to hear how much you enjoy coming & yes, they’re pretty special teachers those two!
Fantastic experience: Great yoga teachers, Great Boxercise teacher, Great fitness teachers. Such a lovely warm and friendly environment created by Fiona and Gyles. Soulfit is a real gem.
Ah thank you so much. You didn’t mention the Great people who join our classes each week ;)
Fantastic experience: Gemma Coe turns every dance class into a mini-holiday. You can't do flowetics and not come away smiling ☺️☺️
Fantastic experience: Soulfit's fitness classes are so welcoming and fun! I've always stayed away from anything strength or gym based in the past, because I'm quite insecure being in those sorts of environments. Upon Fiona's encouragement and kindness I took up a 'Strength' class and I absolutely loved it! They make the classes easily accessible and fun. The teacher Kieron was very warm and the music which was played made it enjoyable to do. Everybody in the class around me was normal and off the street just like I was and my insecurities very quickly faded. Thank you Gyles and Fiona for creating such a beautiful community space with open doors for everyone.
Ah thanks so much Lindsay! So pleased you made it for a 7am class, such a perfect set up for the day ahead. Same time tomorrow?!
Fantastic experience: You never get bored at Soulfit . Early morning class with Jermaine gets your blood pumping or the classes with Kieran are a little more relaxing but they get you ready for the day . In need of flexibility or relaxation try a yoga class in the morning , evening or the weekend and you will be pleasantly surprised. The place to be in Lewes for all your fitness needs even a nice gourmet coffee.
Thanks so much! So happy you joined us & love how you always schedule your sessions to fit around your working week - it's so easy to let work take over, but you always make time for your fitness & wellbeing which is such an example to us all!
Fantastic experience: I live in the US but had a four month assigment in Brighton and my husband and I ended up renting a house in Lewes. I am a big fitness and yoga practitioner and I was worried about not finding the same level of exercise I was used to. I found Soulfit online and it has been the past part of being in Lewes. Soulfit offered everything I was looking for, great workouts and yoga. Jermaine's classes are amazing as he really pushes you to be your best. Fiona and everyone has been so welcoming. The space is lovely, I can't say enough about my short experience. Whether you are visiting or live in Lewes, Soulfit can really be a game changer for you
Ah Karine, thank you so much for your kind words! We loved having you in the studio during your short stay & really hope your work will allow you to revisit us again in the future sometime!
Fantastic experience: Week 4 on my 30days for £30 trial. Every morning I wake up full of excitement and joy. This is a massive game changer for someone with bipolar disorder who was struggling with their energy so much. I couldn’t concentrate on my work or go into a supermarket with out anxiety that it was horrendous. Now I have the tools to be happy to engage in a positive way every single day. I walk into Soulfit see the amazing souls who work there from Fiona the owner who embraces you with such warmth and positivity. To Hannah in her coffee shop with the most amazing aromas and tasteful bites of yummy Food for the soul. To the amazing friendly talented yoga teachers who embrace you in their class and share their knowledge with you. Today I was in yoga thinking I’m doing it yay I never thought I would improve in my practice with such confidence and loving every moment. So much mind and body strength I even walk and stand taller and embrace every thing that is thrown in my way. Thank you soulfit
Thank you so much for such a heart-warming review! Hearing that we've helped with both your physical & mental health is the best news. We're so pleased you walked in through our doors ;)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible space, inspiring teachers and amazing yoga and fitness classes. I relocated to Lewes last September and was really struggling to cope with the stress of moving and settling in a new area. I knew I had to carry on exercising, however, couldn’t motivate myself. I got in touch with Soulfit to enquire about their schedule and availability. Fiona was warm and welcoming and made me feel completely at home. I loved all the classes, however, personal training suited my schedule more. I started training with Gyles twice a week and have continued to do so. Soulfit made me feel part of the community right away and helped me stay positive when things were getting on top of me. I’m very grateful for the space they’ve created, for the incredible teachers and therapists who work there and highly recommend joining.
Thank you SO much for such warm & heartfelt words. We're always so grateful to receive feedback & it means so much to hear we played a small role in easing your transition into this very special town.
Fantastic experience: A really great place to get both your mind and body healthy. I have done a bit of everything at Soulfit, personal training with Gyles, group fitness and yoga, physio, plus of course had Hannah's fab coffee
Thanks so much for this James! We wanted to create a space that offers more than just a few fitness sessions, so it's great to hear how much you’ve enjoyed everything we have to offer.
Look forward to seeing you again soon…
Fantastic experience: Never have I ever been made to feel anything close to as welcome as at Soulfit. Beautiful little space with tons of facilities and practitioners in there. We got lots of great info from the owner and didn't even have a chance to do yoga, which is just testament to how helpful and friendly they were. Hopefully I'll be able to stop by for a class. Also check out Hannah's - a fantastic little cafe in the space.
Wow thanks so much Angus. It means so much to get this sort of feedback.
Hope to see you guys again sometime soon ;)
Fantastic experience: I love this place it's right at the end of our street and fiona runs a friendly ship. Brilliant teaching too
Thanks so much Rick. Love having you (& your various mugs) in our classes!
Fantastic experience: A pocket of peace to escape the chaos of the world, this place is a great find Combination of yoga and complementary therapies all under one roof you’re sure to find something that’ll help you to relax, unwind and nourish your soul Zoe is an awesome therapist and combines her skills to deliver a powerful and releasing massage that’ll leave you floating out of there
Thank you so much, means the world to receive feedback like this. Hope to see you again soon
Fantastic experience: I love Soulfit Yoga. They have great teachers and the owner Fiona is so helpful and accommodating. It's a beautiful space and, something that has really meant a lot to me, is how welcome you feel when you go there. There's a genuine sense of community, which they kept very much alive during 2020. Wonderful!
Ah thanks so much Nartan! Looking after you & creating a special, inclusive environment is our biggest goal, so it means the world to revive this feedback - thank you
Fantastic experience: Beautiful yoga studio and therapy rooms with warm and freindly staff. I had the best sports and remedial massage with Lolly Als!
Fantastic experience: I have had quite a few massages with Lolly now and everyone is first class. Lolly listens to your needs and really works on all of the parts of the body that need attention. She helps me with tightness and realignment and is a fantastic therapist.
Fantastic experience: Lolly Als is the most phenomenal remedial massage therapist. Thanks to her I could start to walk again after tearing my cartridge and having residual pain and swelling in both my achilles. I love Soulfit and think of Fiona as a friend.
Fantastic experience: I love my live stream classes at Soulfit. Working from home means that I can take a class to fit in with my schedule without having to leave home and without needing to take too long a break from my work. The classes are both fun and challenging and the instructors are excellent.
Ah thanks so much Nicola. Means the world that you took the time out to write this, we know how busy you are ✨
Fantastic experience: I have loved training with Gyles and leave each session feeling energised, renewed and with a little spring in my step!
Fantastic experience: Gyles has been my personal trainer now for over two years and he has taken me from very unfit (after a couple of serious illnesses) to real fitness, where I am now, and from where it looks like I will get even fitter. We started in my back garden, then moved to the excellent new studio at Soulfit, and now we have continued through Lockdown on Zoom - the classes have been consistently great, entertaining and fun through all the changes and I am now looking forward to getting back to the studio. Many thanks, Colin Bell (Wolfie Wolfgang)
Fantastic experience: I joined Gyles for some running focused strength training after many years and many marathons having never quite reached the level I hoped. Gyles immediately recognised my (many) weaknesses and got to work on a program that would work for me. What a difference!!! For the first time ever I was still running strong over last few miles of the NY marathon. Working with Gyles played a big part in a new PB, at 57, and a second half ran faster than the first. I am a total convert and will continue to look to Gyles as I work towards London Marathon 2021 and beyond.
Fantastic experience: At home HIIT sessions with Gyles has meant I'm coming out of lockdown not only physically stronger but also mentally on a happy note. I was surprised how well these classes have worked and also the variety of exercises. Having 2/3 sessions in the diary each week has also ensured some structure and routine. Thanks Gyles. Also thanks to Fiona for ensuring technology worked.
Thanks so much for this Liz - so happy you've enjoyed them so much. You must have abs of steel now!
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend SoulFit highly enough . The brilliant Dance classes have reignited my passion for dance. I’ve even been able to dance with my Mum in the live stream classes. What a gift! Gyles’ HIT classes have kept me strong and challenging myself and the brilliant Yoga classes have helped me to restore some sanity ! The wonderfully, supportive, community that Gyles and Fiona have created is really, very special. Leona M - Lewes
Fantastic experience: I’ve tried yoga by following YouTube videos and various apps before, but never really got into it. That’s until I decided to try some classes at Soulfit! The teachers and staff (and students too) are all really friendly and encouraging. The classes that I like are ones that are just quite fun and casual, so not too serious and strict with perfect postures, but more about fitness and wellbeing. I particularly like Emily’s and Gemma’s classes as you’ll really work up a sweat!
Fantastic experience: This is a fabulous, cool and friendly place to come practice my yoga. I come to Soulfit because it has some of the finest young yoga teachers I’ve had the privilege of working with. Go Soulfit
Fantastic experience: I was new to yoga when attending Soulfit for the first time- the warm welcome and calm space made me feel at easy immediately. The staff and teachers are amazing. I’m now a complete yoga convert. Can’t recommend Soulfit enough!
Fantastic experience: Soulfit is a lovely welcoming studio with a real community of yogis attending. All levels and ages are welcomed and I felt at home from my first visit.. I have frequented many shalas over the years but soulfit is my favourite by far. Bun and Bean @soulfit serve great food and drinks. Hannah is lovely. Pop in and give them a try.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, inspiring, warm, transformative... the classes I've taken and treatments I and my family have had at Soulfit have been all these things and more. The yoga teachers are super-attentive and have taken me places I never expected to go. The other staff are so warm and friendly you'll want to invite them round for tea. The whole place is just, well, good for the soul.
Fantastic experience: Fiona,Gyles are warm and welcoming so are all the yoga teachers and other members of staff. Bun and Bean is superb - Hannah, Jamie and Skip the dog are all friendly. The yoga classes are brilliant especially Cherry yoga and the gentle side plank - who knew that was even possible.! I am happy or part of the Soulfit community.
Fantastic experience: I never thought yoga was for me until a friend convinced me to go along.... now i have been to 5 classes and am loving it. Relaxing, yet very challenging in different ways to my other fitness classes. Had three different instructors and they are all fab! Would definitely recommend soulfit for all yoga levels!
Fantastic experience: Yoga at Soulfit is funny, varied, and gymnastic as well as relaxing and stretchy. A lot of the time it's also hard work! The cafe is lovely, and the environment is perfect - professional all the way but never intimidating. Thanks for having me Soulfit. I can also recommend PT with Gyles for a higher impact workout in a well equipped studio.
Fantastic experience: A great welcoming yoga studio in lewes with excellent teachers
Fantastic experience: A calm and welcoming space, with lots of kind souls, minimally decorated and functional. A fabulous array of teachers, all with their unique styles - you will find a teacher (or two or three or four!) who leads classes in a way to suit you. All abilities welcome. Great flexible membership or booking system... and top notch coffee in the daytime!
Fantastic experience: Fabulously friendly place. Passes to suit everyone's budget & addiction! All teachers lovely, patient & enthusiastic. Fiona & Giles really have created a space of peace and power! I've just signed up for a course of boxfit: great fun though does leave one glowing somewhat . As with all classes here and there are a good range, you work at the level that suits you & you will receive gentle encouragement . A fantastic addition to Lewes life.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful studio with fantastic teachers. Offering yoga classes for all abilities throughout the week. Always made to feel welcome, I can’t rate this place highly enough!
Fantastic experience: An oasis of wellbeing, Soulfit offers the opportunity for me to fit yoga easily into a busy week with a good variety of exceptional teachers , something for everyone . It has a super friendly and welcoming atmosphere and great coffee to boot !
Fantastic experience: I was a bit nervous about going along to a class at Soulfit, I normally find anything to do with fitness too intimidating! I’m so so glad I did though. The space is beautiful and Fiona and the teachers so friendly and reassuring. They have such a good selection of classes to choose from and lots of different times which suits freelancers perfectly. I can mix it up each week depending on meetings and workload. Totally invested in the Soulfit community now and can’t wait to try them all!
Fantastic experience: Excellent yoga and fitness studio with a lovely atmosphere and wide range of innovative classes and workshops. The people who run it and the teachers go out of their way to make the experience personal and inspiring. Even the sound of the cars going by outside seem to melt into the warm feeling in the sessions and the space.
Fantastic experience: Soulfit made my stay in Lewes that much better. The studio is beautiful, clean, and all the instructors are wonderful!
Fantastic experience: Long over due in Lewes, a gorgeous yoga studio with the highest quality of instructors all of whom are passionate about both yoga and well being. Soulfit offer a full range of yoga styles so there's something for everyone, be you a beginner or seasoned Yogi. Fiona and Giles have created a relaxing and friendly space, where you feel protected and nourished, it's as yoga should be and is worlds apart from just doing a yoga class at the gym. I'm glad to be a part of this yoga family.
Goodness, how did we not reply to this! So beautiful to see you still coming every week after all these years. We love doing what we do - particularly having such an amazing community of people like you walking into our building week after week.
Fantastic experience: Lovely peaceful place, great teachers and lots of different classes to try. Highly recommended!
Thanks so much Emma - so appreciate your feedback x
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Gyles for about two years now and it’s the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Work was always the priority and although I was always keen to do exercise, I never seemed to have the time. By allocating 1 hour a week in the diary I not only get regular exercise but I also get quality exercise. I realise now that although I always used to be keen to go to the gym I never exercised particularly well. I would be stuck in my routine without any variety at all. Gyles and Soulfit take me out of my comfort zone and the difference in my fitness levels has been incredible. I would recommend training with Gyles and Soulfit wholeheartedly, you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Gyles for about 2 years and progress has been made! Gyles makes the sessions engaging and the right level to push me the right amount. He is able to make me feel that I can do - but also that there is more to be achieved! I would certainly recommend signing up, if you are like me, and tend to self-motivation at the end of the day!
Fantastic experience: What I love, even more than the yoga, is the community Fiona and Gyles are building at Soulfit. I walk in with a smile and I walk out with a smile, I really am enjoying everything it has to offer. Oh, and the yoga is amazing too!
Fantastic experience: By far my favourite yoga studio in Sussex - great teachers, lovely space and super friendly management. Thoroughly recommended! :)
Fantastic experience: So delighted to finally have a modern, stylish yoga and fitness studio open up in Lewes. Gyles is a great personal trainer and the fitness studio is a brilliant space with plenty of light & air. My wife does 2-3 yoga classes a week with different instructors and always raves about them. I haven't tried yoga there yet but will do (when I get the time!)
Fantastic experience: Great studio for yoga/Pilates and personal training. Lovely owners and teachers, definitely recommend!
