Soulful Fitness

I have been a member of Soulful Fitness for 4 years. I am so grateful for all the services they provide. I feel no one modality can do all I want it to do. It is important for me to work with fully qualified and experienced teachers. Soulful seeks these teachers out diligently. They also care and inspire their members to be healthy and well. They stand out with the tools they give us to accomplish a healthier and happier way of living. Maree

I have been going to Soulful Fitness for over 6 months the staff are always welcoming and professional. I chose Soulful to start my own Wellness journey and have been guided into the right classes for me and the instructors make sure they are engaged with everyone in the room. The other participants in the classes are always welcoming and friendly. There is a lovely members area where you can sit before or after a class no loitering akwardly as the newbie as some one who was uncertain and not been to a studio before I found it a great space to wait. It also meant I got to say hello to the other members. Soulful has helped me so much not just just physically but mentally too. Thier schedule has meant I can fit my classes around my often changing hours of work which is a definite bonus for me.

I really enjoy my time in this fitness studio. I've experienced professionalism, experience and inclusiveness in my dealings. I always leave feeling satisfied in body and spirit and totally relish the variety and different offerings the studio provides. Coming here provides me with so much stress relief and balance to live my best life. Thanks guys.

I have had an amazing experience at soulful fitness in all aspects. All the instructors are extremely kind and supportive and their is a large range of classes for all different aspects of fitness! The atmosphere of the studio is so calming and peaceful and the perfect place to care for your body and soul throughout the week. All the employees have always been extremely kind, friendly and keen to help which makes the experience even more wonderful. Definitely would recommend for everyone on their fitness journey

I have been a member of this place for a couple of months.
These are my observations (in random order) :

1. The owners/management are obviously passionate about their work and helping the patrons achieve their goals.

2. The yoga teachers are mostly welcoming and 'nice' but I have a feeling that for most of them this is just a job, and they don't really care that much. (I don't think they know my name, even after I've attended their classes over 10 times. At least they never say my name when speaking to me.) Most won't correct the postures in yoga and will only do a stretch if you ask them to. I have observed them ignoring people doing the postures completely wrong, and this could lead to injuries. In my previous yoga studio experiences, teachers always walked around the room and helped people with their postures, always offered stretches, and were always vigilant for people doing the postures wrong and would correct gently (I did yoga 5 nights a week in 1999-2008 with a school in St Ives).

3. Most Pilates teachers are not really helpful: even after I tell them at the start of the class that I might need help with instructions and mobility (reaching things, injury management), they don't come over and they don't help, they just plough through the class at top speed, and if you're too slow to follow - it's your own problem. Even when they see me struggling and not knowing what to do or how to do it, they don't come over. It is really frustrating.

4. Even though the place has several toilets and showers, there are no paper towels or normal towels to dry your hands. I find this really strange, especially when hand washing is so vital (pandemic, anyone?).

5. The company's app is very poorly designed and doesn't work well, ie is user-unfriendly. I am happy to help with how it SHOULD run, but I don't think my input is wanted.

6. The levels of volume at which music is played in most classes is a HUGE ISSUE for me. I don't think staff have any understanding of sensory (auditory) issues. This is actually very common for people on the spectrum, or with anxiety, PTSD, and other conditions. I suffer from several, and additionally, I don't have good hearing, so when the teacher puts the music on at full volume, I cannot hear the instructions, I get a panic attack, and I want to run out of the room and into a quiet space. I have requested this to be considered and respected but I still have to ask most teachers every time I attend any class. Maybe I should wear a wooden board around my neck saying CAN'T COPE WITH LOUD NOISES.

7. For people who don't work a standard 9-5 day, the timing of the classes is very inconvenient and unfortunate. Most yoga and Pilates classes run either early mornings (between 6am and 10.30am) or in the evenings (between 5.30 and 7.30pm). Weekends offer even less options. I didn't know this when I signed up. I also wasn't made aware of other 'surprise' financial T&Cs, such as being charged for putting your membership on hold (for illness or other reasons) every time.

Overall, this is a place that presents a kind and caring front, but I feel that it is still a business first and foremost, and that money is always the bottom line. I would like to think and hope that all staff GENUINELY care about the patrons, but I don't have this feeling most of the time.
I am very thankful to Roz and Amanda for allowing me to join on special financial conditions due to a limited budget.

This is the absolute best community! Amanda, the owner, truly cares about the members and their physical and spiritual journeys. Many lives have been changed by this space

The team here are so intuitive. They know their stuff and it’s a pleasure to spend my downtime here doing classes and using the members area after class. Thank you Soulful Fitness team xx

Beautiful studio with many classes to choose. Lovely & friendly environment. Totally recommend

Soulful Fitness is aptly named, as it really is fitness not just for the body, but for the soul too! I have had the pleasure of being both a member and an instructor at Soulful and you know you're in a good place when the experience is fulfilling whether participating or working. I have been with this studio for 7 years and the community that has been built around it is incredible. The classes are varied and many, the instructors professional, knowledgeable, warm, and supportive. I wholeheartedly recommend this studio whether you're an absolute novice or have been practicing for years.

Zero empathy, they make me into a panic attack and they don't care, after many days still they don't even offer any apologies, a yoga place with a zero empathy, unbelievable, they want to process me for fraud, they sent me a message to threaten me "Now there is a charge back requested by you. I have copied Ezidebit into this email. If you proceed with the charge back then you will have in fact stolen money from us, you paid us $218 total to join which we refunded you. To get a charge back would be unethical and means that you have actually taken $218 x 2 from our company and you will need to refund back $218 immediately or we will be pressing charges of fraud against you. " I tried to stop the debit from my account, I didn't know the bank also recover the money, so they just could solve everything in a polite way, but not they just wrote me to threaten me, amd they know I have anxiety, I didn't wanted to come back to that yoga place because they make me in a panic attack for many days, I never had an apologies from this place, I thought that everything was over and now they write to threaten me with something that is simply a misunderstanding, and they make it into a big problem, Omg, I really can't believe

Awesome service and change my life - Love the classes and customer serves, Highly recommended ️

Wow what an awesome place.
Soulful fitness I would highly recommend to everybody.
The staff are amazing & so friendly from the moment you step in the door they make you feel so comfortable.
So many things all under one roof Virtual cycling, Pilates reform beds, Barre & yoga.

After being a member for many years at this amazing yoga studio, I recently attended the Winter retreat over 2 1/2 days - what a wonderful experience. I highly recommend both Soulful Fitness as well as the annually run retreat.

My Daughter and I had the privilege of recently joining Amanda Bracks and her team on a well needed "Winter Wellness Wonderland Retreat" hosted at Swami's Yoga & Health Retreat.

I feel refreshed and energised after an amazing weekend. My inner-child came out to play!

If you need to re-energise and re-connect with yourself.make your way to "Soulful Fitness" to make your "Soul Full" again.

Such an inclusive environment, as an overweight lover of food, no one looks sideways at me … acceptance for who I am and not what I look like is so refreshing! Every person is welcomed and encouraged to take their own journey. Amanda and team are so giving and caring, doubt I’ll ever be able to repay them

Soulful Fitness has a welcoming energy with a lovely sense of community and experienced teachers. Extensive timetable with excellent variety of classes, including many different styles of yoga. Special touches include calming spaces to relax with a tea after class, children’s yoga classes for members, ability to have your children minded while you attend a class, and regular workshops/ events/ challenges. It’s more than just a studio – it’s a warm and inspiring community of people working on creating the best versions of themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Soulful Fitness is truly a place full of heart and soul!
They have passionate and dedicated teachers, a huge variety of different classes, but most importantly, a genuine community connection, which leaves me feeling supported and nurtured each and every time.

The most beautiful studio I have ever been to ️️️ The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable. The studio is sparkling clean and a variety of classes are available so that you can choose what is right for you. I highly recommend coming to Soulful Fitness to anyone!

My wife and I have been members for four years and have really enjoyed our visits given such a friendly staff and importantly other friendly members. Leaving aside COVID restrictions, we have really appreciated both the physical and spiritual benefits from participating in the many and varied offerings involving yoga, Pilates and spin classes as well as other types of healing.

I'm posting this review because previous requests to be removed from all mailing and messaging lists seem to have been ignored. I have emailed, called and replied with "opt out" to all messages but they still come. I'm not sure if spamming or ignoring people is soulful, and would appreciate management's action on this. This has been happening for over 2 years now and is really frustrating. I don't recommend people leaving their contact details if they are concerned about things like this.
