SOBO Fitness

Fantastic experience: It’s been life changing, I love going and it’s worth every penny. All the trainers are great; a really friendly vibe; range of classes and it’s great having the PT touch, learning how to do everything properly and a having a closer eye on tracking progress.

Fantastic experience: The gym experience I’ve been looking for for years! So happy we have this in Southbourne, it’s a lovely space run by lovely, passionate people.

Fantastic experience: Sobo Fitness is like having the intensity of a personal trainer with the fun of a group class. Lizzie and the other trainers provide advice and encouragement so that you see improvements quickly and effectively. The space is lovely, and there's a great range of classes to suit every level. Don't worry about being the oldest, youngest, most unfit - everyone is included and exercises can be modified as needed. I've regained so much strength in the few months that I've been attending.

Fantastic experience: Sobo fitness is by far the best experience I have had from any gym I’ve had membership to…and there’s been plenty. Not only is it a place exclusively for woman to train and exercise, it is a place to socialise in the cafe amongst such a friendly, interesting and wonderful bunch of females. I feel so lucky to be a part of a community of women who encourage and support one another and it’s right on my doorstep! I no longer experience intimidating oversubscribed training spaces full of men and women on their phones and no longer do I set my alarm at midnight to book (and fail) onto a class. All the instructors are fantastic, all offering a wealth of experience & expertise to cater for all shapes, sizes, ages and personal needs. They offer various styles of class from Yoga to low intensity HIIT to metabolic conditioning and strength training. Classes are small allowing each member to receive personal guidance and support. If classes aren’t your thing the gym space can also be booked via the app (which is super easy to use). Sobo Fitness offers amazing modern facilities, all the equipment you need for all types of workouts, a range of events including retreats and talks from specialists in female health, complimentary sanitary products and baby change products and the best variety of delicious smoothies, juices & coffees. Lizzie, It is a joy to be a member, what you have created is a little bit of heaven, a triumph, I wish nothing but love and success for our little sanctuary, what it deserves. Thank you for doing this for us girls xxx

Here, every member is treated as an individual, with dedicated trainers and staff on hand to provide individualized guidance and support. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or new to fitness, the knowledgeable staff go above and beyond to tailor workouts to your specific goals and preferences, ensuring optimal results in small and breathable class sizes.

With limited membership slots available, the establishment maintains its exclusivity, attracting a community of like-minded individuals who value quality over quantity. This select clientele fosters a sense of camaraderie and accountability, creating a supportive environment. In a world saturated with cookie-cutter fitness chains, this boutique gym stands out as a beacon of hope. It's not just a place to work out; it's a sanctuary for those who demand better. From the impeccable facilities to the warm and friendly service, every aspect of the experience is nourishing. If you're seeking a fitness haven where luxury meets performance, look no further than this hidden gem. At my age, I'd rather pay a premium, than have to set my alarm to hopefully get on a class with hundreds of other wishful members to arrive at a class where I am making up the numbers, with little or no input. Good luck Lizzie, I completely get the vision.

Fantastic experience: FLEXIBLE - Some people love their regular classes and I love booking classes that fit around my week. Once I book I’m committed! There is always a class to suit and as it grows so will the choices. FRIENDLY - All the team are so friendly and class sizes small and personal so you can get help if you want or not. I love the vibe of the community- although pretty new, I think we all understand the vision Lizzy has and try to help build that. Everyone new or not are made to feel welcome by instructors and members. FITNESS - I feel I work harder in a class than on my own at home and the group gives me motivation. The instructors all know their stuff and offer a real mix of styles. Come on down and give it a go you’ve nothing to lose and fitness to gain!

Fantastic experience: SOBO Fitness is truly an empowering haven for women. The trainers are outstanding, going beyond fitness expertise to empower you on a journey of self-discovery. What sets SOBO apart is the tight-knit community of local women, creating an enriching experience in small, intimate classes. The personal touch in each session fosters connections with both trainers and fellow participants. Being part of the SOBO community has profoundly impacted my return to fitness, making me not only healthier and stronger but also providing a genuine sense of belonging. If you seek a women-only gym combining expertise, empowerment, and community, SOBO Fitness is the place for lasting connections on your path to a healthier, happier you.

Fantastic experience: If you enjoy working out already or if you want to get back into fitness or just start for the first time then SOBO fitness is for you. I love working out and have enjoyed a few local places that have all been great but this is the first place that doesn’t feel like an effort! I actually love the group classes even though I’ve always preferred working out on my own or just with a pal doing weights. The classes feel like PT sessions as the groups are small with expert tuition. Listening to feedback, Lizzie has also now opened the gym so if you like to train on your own that’s an option too. You will not get injured as the classes are specific to women’s bodies and how to build muscle, flexibility and endurance. With so many options your body will get a complete overhaul and you will meet like minded women who just want to get fit without intimidation. Yes it might seem expensive but if you go enough then it works out as a great price to pay for a healthier future. I really love the friendly atmosphere and the team there. Lizzie is working hard to make this a fabulous place and she has brought in the best teachers with her. Coffee good too! Give it a go it’s fun and you’ll be fit as anything!

Fantastic experience: When I saw that SOBO Fitness was opening it was like a lightbulb went off inside my head. I had a feeling this was just what I needed! Already the sense of community & support I have received has been wonderful. SOBO Fitness has quickly become a 2nd home to me as I am there so often! It’s now a part of my routine whether I am getting my day started with a HIIT class or winding down with a relaxing yoga class. All of the instructors have made me feel so welcome and encouraged me to give it my all whilst ensuring I’m doing things in a way that is suited to my own abilities. This is a safe space where I have met many like minded lovely women. Great to be able to sit & have coffee after class to unwind too. I’m excited to continue my journey & so glad this space now exists :-) Thank you Lizzie & all the trainers!

Fantastic experience: I joined SOBO Fitness on their first day as I knew it would tick my boxes of a local, friendly place I could walk to. I joined specifically for the small group strength classes which have been fab. Charlie is excellent and I especially love how she tailors my exercises to accommodate my ability. We already have a friendly vibe with the regular women in class and I look forward to seeing how the community unfolds.

Fantastic experience: SOBO fitness has an amazingly friendly, and open vibe. Doing one of their classes, getting a coffee after and chatting to the other women (rather than going home, not talking to anyone!)- is so nice and I can feel a community building already. Really excited to be a member! So far i’ve done pilates, metabolic conditioning and low intensity interval training which have all been amazing and pushed me to do a good workout at my own personal level. The smaller classes mean the trainers can properly spend time with each person correcting your form etc. unlike any other gym I’ve been too. They listen to feedback and it feels like we are on their journey with them. Highly recommend if you are thinking about trying it!
