    Fantastic gym, great atmosphere and the instructors are fab! Always there to help and give advice. And there are different classes as well as PT options so there's something to suit everyone. Highly highly recommend!

    Two months ago I started going to PT classes with Leszek twice a week. I was overweight, weak as a kitten, full of insecurities about on/off back ache and an achilles heal problem. Leszek has built up mind, body and spirit through: mindset coaching while training; remarkable improvements in strength; and a two KG's weight loss so far! FITNESS SOUL has a great vibe - everyone welcome, no matter where you are on the fitness scale. The results are fantastic and I couldn't recommend Leszek highly enough.

    If you are looking for a baby friendly (yes, you can bring your baby or toddler!) yet rigorous workout in Edinburgh, the Fitmamas class is for you! 💫 💪🏽It’s a great way to get in shape (body and mind!) after the 4th trimester. If you are looking for one on one time to work on some personal fitness goals, Joanna as well as her partner also offer great PT. The team at Fitness Soul offer a variety of classes — and if you can’t make it down to Leith, you can still get a sweaty workout by joining live online. I am forever grateful they kept their sessions going online throughout all the Covid-19 lockdowns as it kept me sane! 🙏🏾 Thanks all! Keep it going x

    I like the range of classes available and the fact that no HIIT class is the same. This means that you never get bored. I also think that all of the instructors are great and it feels like you have a personal trainer. Another bonus is that I can take my kids to the Fit Mamas classes so there is no excuse to miss out on keeping fit.

    Could not love the fitmamas classes at Fitness Soul more! It's so good to be able to get a work out with the kids in such a friendly environment. They have been great extending classes to online and not just in person during covid helping keep us all motivated and sane. The coaches are all fabulous and great motivators no two classes are the same so there's always something to enjoy!

    I attend the amazing fitmamas classes at fitness soul and I love it! Me and my daughter are made to feel so welcome and the classes are fab, unique and supportive. Would highly recommend to mums of babies and toddlers looking to meet friendly people, get fit and healthy in a safe happy environment for your little one too!

    Fit Mamas was recommended to me as a safe way of getting back in to exercise by a physio after I went for a 'Mummy MOT'. I started a few months after having my baby. With lockdown and pregnancy I hadn't really exercised properly for a year, so I was pretty nervous. Especially with a grumbly baby in tow! I met Joanna for a chat before my first class- we discussed my goals and she really put me at ease. The classes have been fab, each instructor has their own style and brings their own little something to their classes. I've found the support from them and the other mums has really spurred me on and I'm feeling much better within myself. We exercise, share mum related struggles and the babies love it too as they get to watch and play. Fitness Soul has a really personal, friendly vibe and has made a big difference to me physically and mentally. I'd definitely recommend their classes.

    I’ve been having PT sessions for a couple of months now and I’ve never felt better. It’s a great environment to push yourself in - the gym is great and Leszek has been really supportive. A great guy and a great experience. I would highly recommend fitness soul whatever stage/age you’re at 👍 the classes also look amazing and I’ve not even tried those yet - still 5* and can’t wait to go again every week.

    This is the first gym that I’ve really clicked with. I’ve been dragging myself out of bed 3 times a week for the bootcamp at 6:00 am and I’ve been loving it. There is a really supportive atmosphere, the instructors are great and the structure of the classes makes sense. I feel that I have been pushed to achieve more than I expected but it’s been a very positive experience. After 4 months I feel much stronger and generally better. Highly recommended.

    I have been going to this amazing community-based gym for years. I am now in my mid-forties and am stronger and fitter than I have ever been. This friendly gym encourages you in a genuine, fun and positive way to reach your goals whatever they may be.

  • 5/5 Samra A. 5 years ago on Google
    This is not your typical gym, there is so much more that Leszek and Joanna have to offer. I took classes (mostly zumba and pound) and did personal training with Leszek. I cannot stress the great atmosphere they have created. All of the trainers/instructors are great and the other fitness soul members are lovely too! I instantly felt comfortable and apart of the family. So as I said before this is not your typical gym, it is an amazing facility with a community that is there to create an environment where you can have fun and be healthy and most likely very sweaty too!!!

    Joined Fitness Souls about 5 months ago and I am thoroughly enjoying my time there. I had fallen out of gym use in my late twenties and i write this review from the point of view of someone who trained for competitive sports from my early teens. The class sizes are fairly small in comparison to other gyms I have attended in the past so the tuition you receive from Leszek and Joanna is more akin to personal training than other gyms which has certainly improved my results. Further to this they're always approachable and happy to help outwith classes with advice on diet and lifestyle changes that will help you achieve your goals. I have lost 10kg, feel more confident in my appearance and my clothes fit again. I'd recommend Fitness Soul to anyone who wants to make real changes in their lifestyle and fitness goals.

    Enjoying the "Lean +Strong Challenge" as it's giving me a real fitness focus, pushing me out of my comfort zone in the run up to Christmas. Changing habits for 4 weeks and 🤞🏻some for longer. Great encouragement and support from Joannna, Leszek and the 'whatsapp' group. Excellent value for money and accessible from anywhere in the world🤗 Fitness Soul💪❤️🙏

  • 5/5 Debbie R. 2 years ago on Google
    I can’t rate Fitmamas highly enough. The instructors are great. They push everyone to achieve their best but at the same time offer lots of different options to suit everyone. It’s a great set up where I can bring my baby daughter with me and she is safe and happy with me while I exercise!

  • 5/5 Celia Mostazo M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love doing strength training at Fitness Soul! 100% recommended! The coaches are highly knowledgeable and very friendly!

  • 5/5 Boguslawa B. 4 months ago on Google
    Known about this place from long time, always encouraging and so positive! Signed up for Lean & Strong Challenge, workouts loaded on app, with no regrets, accessible to do at home whenever you can, and you can track your progressions , they also provide a support and motivation group! Highly recommend !:)

  • 5/5 María C. 1 year ago on Google
    I couldn't recommend enough Joanna&Leszek's classes (and the rest of wonderful FS instructors!). They are fun, challenging and the hard work is very rewarding, learning a lot of stuff about my body every day and the best way of pushing it further. There is something for everyone, regardless of level of fitness. A great way of unwinding after a full time day of work.

  • 5/5 Kirsty G. 2 years ago on Google
    All of the trainers at Fitness Soul are really professional and supportive. The atmosphere in the classes is great and really keeps you wanting to come back for more! Joanna is also a great PT and has been a huge support in helping me reach my goals. Can’t recommend them enough!

  • 5/5 Eleanor P. 4 months ago on Google
    Lean and Strong Challenge has been an excellent and cost effective way of getting to join in with fitness soul (one of the best fitness gyms ever!) whilst living too far away to be in person. It is a group put together with an app, WhatsApp and the care of Joanna and Leszek. There are habits to learn to follow and 3 workouts a week that you can do at home with no equipment or in a gym. It’s an encouraging group and has really helped so far! Love it 💕 Thanks for the opportunity to be part of the fitness soul family remotely xxx

  • 5/5 Julie E. 4 years ago on Google
    I'm just back from a Zumba class and I'm buzzing. I love the classes here and the instructors are really professional, listening to what I want to work on and helping me work out in a way the best way for me. I'm motivated to get involved because everyone is so friendly. Not a usual gym and that's good for me.

  • 5/5 Moon Sarma T. 8 years ago on Google
    Fun, dance, fitness and amazing instructors.

  • 5/5 Shannon N. 8 years ago on Google
    FitMamas @ Fitness Soul:Friendly, experienced instructors, a welcoming atmosphere, and tough workouts which are always fun all conspire to keep you motivated to keep coming back for more! Ace!

  • 5/5 Fiona O. 8 years ago on Google
    Fitmamas at Fitness Soul is a game changer! Being able to bring my baby to the gym means I've got no excuses. As a result I've lost weight, grown in confidence and feel more energised than ever (even with a 10 month old!). The workouts are tough but you get results. It's always fun and varied and never boring! My baby loves it too and we've both made loads of new friends. I've never felt so welcome at a gym and love being with the other Fitmamas. The team at Fitness Soul are so friendly and I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone

  • 5/5 LYNNE C. 8 years ago on Google
    I joined FitMamas at Fitness Soul when my son was 13 weeks and it really is a godsend. Everyone is so supportive and I was made to feel very welcome from my first class and quickly felt part of the FitMamas community. The classes are challenging but very good and the trainers Joanna and Leszek, are always on hand to make sure exercises are being done properly and offer variations depending on fitness levels. I would recommend FitMamas to anyone considering exercise after childbirth.

  • 5/5 Megan H. 8 years ago on Google
    FitMamas @ Fitness Soul. FitMamas is the holy grail of exercise classes for new mums and beyond. This is not a few stretches and cup of tea, or a gentle jog around the park and a piece of cake... But a proper workout which leaves you exhilarated and will get you results: physical mental and social! Don't be put off hard work, everyone can take part and Joanna and Leszek always make sure that you're working at your level to achieve the very best you can. Bringing your baby or child(ren) is completly acceptable and they and you will be welcomed by an amazing group of likeminded mamas. And we might even have the odd hunk of cake as well, but rest assured you will have earned it!!! Kettlebells @ Fitness Soul. Not for Girls? Nope - that's just the well known chocolate bar! Kettlebells is very much for everyone. The classes are small enough you get a good amount of one of one training, and opportunities to compete (should you so wish) or just gain strength and definition. It's good to see how much progress can be made over a few weeks. It's a perfect compliment to cardiovascular exercise, and everyone can work at their own level, plus I've even been known to hot foot it from zumba into kettlebells! And off course, there are pink fluffy lined kettlebells for the girls, and if you're REALLY strong, purple velvet bells ....

  • 5/5 Sarah R. 8 years ago on Google
    I am a huge fan. The kettlebell classes are varied and interesting...I love the people and the friendly but challenging atmosphere. The instructors are motivating and tough, but fun.

  • 5/5 JESSICA O. 6 years ago on Google
    Small groups, great instructors, positive encouragement

  • 5/5 melanie f. 7 years ago on Google
    Fit Mamas is one of a kind. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, plus the fact that many of the group are new mums, means that the vibe is similar to a post maternity group. Everyone pitches in to look after or look out for the babes and there's always lots of advice and friendly ears. However, it's also a serious work out. The focus is on burning calories and not cake eating, so you leave happy and full up with feel good hormones, rather than sugar!

  • 5/5 Lucy R. 8 years ago on Google
    Really incredible place! I've spent years giving up on strength training and finally found a place that works for me. The two trainers are really focused, work with you for individual goals and I've already started noticing a difference in only a month. It is also a real sanctuary after my stressful job! Always fun, lots of smiling faces, really positive and a good laugh. It's more than a place to workout, but a proper community, where we go for lunch, coffees and are friends too. I also love the holistic approach, it's more about being strong, healthy and happy, which is refreshing. Amazing place!

  • 5/5 Jen A. 7 years ago on Google
    Fitness Soul is much more than a place to exercise; it's a supportive community of like minded, people who care about improving their health...and having fun! The Fitness Soul instructors are qualified,friendly,full of energy, and they will help you meet your fitness goals.

  • 5/5 Emma M. 5 years ago on Google
    Brilliant gym, great classes, motivating and inspiring instructors.

  • 5/5 Matt F. 5 years ago on Google
    My wife and I are not super fit people in the slightest. We have been desperate to lose weight for a very long time and just needed the right class or instructor to show us the way. We cannot recommend Leszeks personal training highly enough. He knows so much and considering the amount of injuries my wife and I had prior to starting we were amazed he could formulate a regime around all of our pre-existing conditions so we could train together as a couple. He brought a tonne of experience and thoughtfulness to motivating us and keeping our progression steady but always surprising us by showing us that our limits were always on the far side of what we thought they were. We are no doubt going to be back to training with Fitness Soul in the near future as this initial burst of PT has given us a huge confidence boost that we can make exercise a constant part of our new healthy lifestyle. Leszek is a wonderful trainer and a wonderful person to boot so if you're looking to book a PT with lots of experience and creativity then book this man the now!

  • 5/5 Laura O. 5 years ago on Google
    I joined Fitness Soul around 16 weeks ago for personal training, mainly to gain back my confidence and improve my overall fitness. Every session has been enjoyable, challenging and different. I have throughly enjoyed every session and most importantly, I have learnt how to input the same training style into my daily routine. My overall fitness and strength has dramatically increased over the past 16 weeks - I have gained back confidence and overall, I feel really good. Laszek is a fantastic trainer, he is very knowledgeable, patient and motivating. I would highly recommend Fitness Soul and Laszek to everyone.

    After taking classes in different gyms and studios (Portobello Swim Centre, PureGym, etc), I have finally found the perfect one! Fitness Soul is by far the best studio I have visited in Edinburgh. Small classes, the instructors actually paying attention to you and how you're doing, everyone is really friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions and give advice. I definitely recommend it!

  • 5/5 Joanna K. 8 years ago on Google
    I started attending personal training at Fitness soul studio with Leszek about 2 months ago with a view to improving my general all round fitness. Already I am seeing great results. My trainer Leszek has been pushing me really hard in our sessions as well as giving advice on diet. My strength and fitness have dramatically increased and I am feeling a huge improvement in my general all round health, such as sleeping better and having more energy. I can highly recommend this fitness studio!!

    You seem to cover every aspect of excersize , which is great because you can do whatever your body lets you at any age , and of course it feels very comfortable to go to the studio wether your regular or just popping in now and again .
