Walking in stronger every day hun !!! Keep up the good work. Dead lifts for life x
Fantastic experience: This really has been the best gym I have been to, because Neville not only really know his stuff but he gives you a lot of personal attention at every visit. I have learnt so many new things about exercise, stretching and releasing tension in muscles, all in all a complete winner
Fantastic experience: I've been going for almost 2 years, the training is very good with personal support and the people are very friendly. I definitely recommend! Marcelo Silva
Fantastic experience: Nev is definetly more than a good Personal Trainer; he is a mentor who always supports you with his positive approach. Can not imagine a life without Lit anymore! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Neville is the best personal trainer ever! He takes a holistic approach to your health and fitness, not only looking at what personal training regime would best suit you, but also your diet. I’ve become stronger and most recently was able to climb up a mountain due to the increased muscle strength in my legs. And this is not even mentioning the good humour and banter that goes on. Thank you Nev, you’re the best!
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. I’ve never worked out so consistently before- the trainers are great and motivating; and I’ve made good friends from there as well!
Negative experience: A terrible experience at this gym in 2022 and bearing the consequences ever since. It’s pitched as a boutique gym with individualised/small group based attention and care in an area like Kensington. One trainer was poorly qualified / lacked good judgement and left with me with a major injury to the pelvic bone/joint from unnecessary physical overstretch to one side through his physical weight - this was an odd routine and an elderly female client complained of the instant pain it caused to her on that same day. I am suffering from this constant pain since 2022 April with limited relief in sight via physiotherapy and osteocare. I feel cheated and scammed by people like this who claim to be professional trainers with a genuine interest in your physical health and well-being when in reality they simply want your membership fees and that’s it. While Nev verbally and rather casually apologised for his colleague’s poor judgement of overstretches, his colleague did not claim responsibility or apologise. More importantly, I have had to bear substantial financial expenses to deal with the injury. It has made every day walking difficult and significantly reduced my agility and flexibility to continue with regular activities like cycling, yoga and Pilates movements. I would urge caution in attending this gym, especially to female clients who are at risk of injury from trainers that are being used.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with a unique personalised approach. Nev and Christian are very knowledgeable, help keep you motivated and make working out enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: As an American moving to London I was looking for a high quality gym. Neville is incredibly knowledgeable and each session is personalized towards my needs / goals, with an emphasis on mobility and injury prevention often overlooked in weight lifting. Overall fantastic experience and a great concept
Fantastic experience: great gym! personalized workouts and really nice people!
Thanks Alexandra… soo good to have you down at the studio and I hope you keep up the good work hun
Nev
Fantastic experience: I have tried so many gyms over the years and I can honestly say I have now found the gym for me! I actually look forward to working out and meeting the staff and other members who are so encouraging, it’s like a big family. Such wonderful support, you guys are awesome and worth every penny!!! Thank you
You are my hero Annette
When are you in next hun ?
Fantastic experience: Great personalised personal training session yet again. I really enjoy the fact that your body posture is closely monitored and corrected on each exercise to ensure highest efficiency and most of all avoid the risk of unintended injury. If one goes a couple of times a week, the monthly subscription is a no brainer. Highly recommend Neville and his team of A* trainers
The red zone challenge champ ;)
Thank you for the kind words my friend
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train and get fit. Neville knows what he is doing and how to push you. Most importantly, he adjusts the workout on the spot to make sure it matches your fitness level. It's a perfect mix between cardio & strength. Great place and amazing coach!
Thank you sir… visit any time you are in London
Fantastic experience: Excellent, positive gym, with great trainers. The tailored training they give you is as good as any personal trainer but made much more accessible. Felt much improved after just a couple of sessions. Love the concept and will be back for more!
Thanks rollo… looking forward to having you back in the studio soon mate
Fantastic experience: Despite it's small size, this gym is fantastic. Neville is the most knowledgeable trainer I've come across and Christian's enthusiasm is contagious. After lockdown and a knee injury, I was hesitant to get back to working out, but Neville has been great about adapting the workouts and showing me exercises to strengthen my knee. Although I've been a member for only a short time, my knee already feels better. This place is great value for the money. Also, the free post-workout protein shakes are a nice touch.
Much appreciated Todd. Glad the knee is feeling better .
Let’s keep up that VMO training.
Fantastic experience: The right approach to training!! Great place to spend time with the team
Thank you antony. Mobility first right ;)
Fantastic experience: A brilliant gym! They pair a really cool, innovative concept with warm customer service and a friendly welcoming attitude. I would highly recommend!
Thanks james… really appreciate the feed back.
Fantastic experience: “I’m so happy I could cry”…was my text after my first session at LIT. I haven’t been able to train or sleep properly for 5 years. Surgery and physio didn’t work. Numerous attempts at regular gyms and fitness classes were also fails. After one session at LIT the pain eased and I could move again! I’ve been going to LIT for two weeks now and I can’t believe how much I’m physically able to do. I’m even sleeping again. I have no doubts, mentally or physically that I will be properly training again in a couple of months time. Nev, Christian and Janine are all equally excellent trainers and lovely people. I recommend training with all 3 as each person brings something different. I need to start taking notes as their wealth of knowledge and experience is exceptional. You instantly feel comfortable at LIT and you really are well looked after.
Brilliant Sibéal !!! See you in the studio later today.
Fantastic experience: LIT is a great concept. It is basically equivalent to a PT session. There is great diversity of exercises depending on one’s needs. The staff is very pro and friendly. Just go!
Thanks Quintin. Hope to see you back in the studio soon mate
Fantastic experience: I was invited in for a trial session and definitely got put through my paces! It’s a brilliant concept and I’m excited to become a fully fledged member. Thank you Neville and Janine!
Thanks again Alexandra
Fantastic experience: Maybe the best workout of my life! They're very knowledgeable in how your body will respond to certain movement and exercise, and tailor everything to you. From warmup to stretching to focused full-body exercises, you can go as hard as you want and feel like your body is going to recover well afterward. Highly recommend for workouts, pilates, yoga, the works.
Fantastic experience: A great addition to the neighbourhood, the flexibility works well to always have focused attention. Much better then classes which cram the people in and go at harmful speed. If you are looking for a more focused service on you personally -this is the gym for you. Protein shakes are a bonus and a great finish !
Fantastic experience: highly recommend !
Good man ben. See you tomorrow
Fantastic experience: Truly a must go to gym for highly customized workouts using weights pilates Trx barre and one on one personal training through your workout. It’s full service in every way and most importantly for any injuries their technique is to provide you with a physio workout tailored to your needs with massge and osteopath services. I can’t rave about this place enough as I have had 5 knee surgeries and it’s my heaven of relief and I get a great workout made for me and always have someone there to correct my movement and push me to get stronger physically and mentally
You are my hero fara…. Really keep up the massive efforts…. They are all paying off.
Fantastic experience: Amazing! I’ve been going to the gym for years and done a variety of classes / workouts - the programme Neville and Janine create is totally tailored to your body and your goals and is very different to anything I’ve done before. Really impressed with the whole experience and would 100% recommend. Thanks guys!
Your a star Lydia…. Thank you
Fantastic experience: What a brilliant class! Absolutely loved the concept and both Janine and Neville were amazing. Made me feel so comfortable, explained everything so clearly and pushed me to work hard and smash it during the session. I would 100% recommend, cant wait to go back!
