Fantastic experience: Truly enjoyed the mental transformation I had by joining Rhea‘s postpartum classes. My son was about 4 months and this allowed me to get back to my fitness, meet amazing mums and ended up joining more complex workouts at 8 months PP. Thank you Rhea for helping me feel myself again ❤️

Ropita Rammya 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I joined the post partum classes at the start of this year then did 10 one-to-one sessions over the last couple of months. I'm lifting stronger, feeling more confident, and fitter than I've ever been. Rhea listened to all my concerns and needs, and made sure to push me beyond where I thought I could go, somehow making it fun the whole time! So grateful for the work we've done, hope to get to train with you again in future

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Rhea’s classes enough for mums postpartum! The classes took me from being able to do no movement and feeling rubbish/low to feeling strong and more myself in a number of weeks. It was something that I actively looked forward to every week and I met some great people along the way. I also learnt so much about my relationship with exercise. Rhea is able to treat each person at the class as an individual and introduce the appropriate level of challenge in a bespoke way. I never felt intimidated and I am so sad it’s come to an end! This is the best ‘baby’ class I went to and it was certainly the most valuable.

Raquel Rei 1 year ago

Positive experience: I have had PT sessions with Rhea for 3 months and she played a crucial role in helping me get confident with exercising, which was something I always struggled. I really appreciated how she always took the time to understand how I was feeling about the sessions and tailored them to my needs and fitness level. She is always super flexible around changing the schedule when needed. I took on running alongside the PT sessions and she was a great motivator and gave me tips. Lastly, I have always been a homebody and an indoors person, and working out with Rhea outside made the appreciate being outdoors in a way I never did. Highly recommend her and would go back in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed the workouts with One Element, one of the best outdoor training gyms I’ve experienced yet. The trainers are energetic, friendly and the workouts are effective & really fun! Highly recommend One Element if you’re looking to get fit and be part of an awesome community in the process

Tasneem Suleman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started OE Docklands in 2020 and have done close to 200 sessions. I’ve never experience a fitness community like it. The focus is on enjoyment, socializing with fitness being a bonus. Rhea, and all the other trainers are professional and passionate and keep us coming back! In 2023 I joined the running club after being a beginner runner, and thanks to the support have run 2 races and had a great time doing it! A major THANK YOU to OE for providing the best platform for community!

Megan Whitaker 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined OE during summer last year and have never looked back! The sessions are challenging and fun, and the group are so motivating making you push yourself. I’ve noticed my fitness has really improved. Rhea and all the other trainers are so friendly and welcoming. I also love the social aspect of the group and have made some great friends in the area. No two sessions are the same making every session varied and fun. Would highly recommend OE to anyone who wants to get outside more and improve their health, whilst training with a great bunch of people.

Zaeem Hassem 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Probably the best driven community based exercise group. From exercising together to having hikes, social events and even forming a running club. Thank you for the great memories and the friends/community that will live with us forever.

Trainers Rhea, Arti and Laura are extremely skilled to keep the classes engaging with varied approaches and making it super fun for all levels of members.

vaibhav dadu 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined one element docklands for 3 months since I prefer group workouts over gym and and was amazed to experience how effective outdoor workouts are. The workouts are fun yet challenging but the team keeps you motivated enough to deliver your best. Rhea, Arti and Laura are great coaches and the rest of the group is pretty amazing too. What works best with one element that is they mix various things so that it does get monotonous and also suits well for various fitness levels. All the best team and keep doing the amazing work that you do each day to make our lives better!

Fantastic experience: Love coming here for a workout with a friendly bunch of people and determined trainers. It's definitely a better and a more enjoyable workout than going to a gym, the added bonus is that you're training outside rather than in some sweaty gym. At One Element, you decide your own intensity, so it really is suitable for anyone regardless of their level of fitness. I think they still offer a free trial for your first session, so give it a go!

Fernanda Fenn Torrente 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joining OED this year has been an excellent way to keep fit, build up strength and continue to see people in a safe environment! It's one of the few things that are still possible during this pandemic, and having regular workout sessions with a great bunch of people has helped hugely. Cannot wait to get even more stuck in (the mud)...

Tarika Maini 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: OneElement has massively upgraded my fitness level. Both the instructors Rhea and Laura are both super encouraging and diversify the training session each week to keep them exciting and keep your body challenged. The feel of a community with outdoor session as well as online sessions during the lockdown has kept me mentally and physically stable and strong! The sessions are addictive because after a month in you will definitely see and feel the change and want more of the same endorphin rush :)

Tanvi 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have attended a number of online fitness sessions with One Element Docklands and have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them. The trainees Rhea and Laura are so encouraging and friendly yet also push me to work that extra bit harder which otherwise I wouldn’t do independently. These sessions are unique, varied and have honestly helped me throughout the lockdown period as I can work out easily from the comfort of my own home. I’ve become healthier and stronger as a result and I can’t wait to keep going. The team atmosphere has also been really special as I am an avid lover of team sports, which has been lacking in my weekly routine due to coronavirus. I also love that these classes are for all ages and abilities. I highly recommend!

Arjun Viswanath 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've trained with one element for over 6 months and they stand head and shoulders above anyone in this area. Primarily because the instructors are highly perceptive and constantly tweak and change the program with variances in weather, numbers and modify intensity to make a beginner feel welcome. Often taking names is not fair on others involved in running it, but I couldn't leave a review without mentioning Rhea Patel, who juggles her hat as a trainer and an accountant with relative ease, makes everyone feel engaged.
