Mayfair, Soho, and Fitzrovia Studios
Private 1-1 Personal Training Focused on Female Fat Loss
The Best Personal Training for Female Fat Loss in London
Science can teach us some very specific and important lessons about how weight loss is different between genders. If you’re a woman and you want to lose weight and burn body fat – there are a host of different factors and challenges that need to be considered.
At Fitness Lab, we understand these factors – and we’ve helped thousands of women overcome these challenges to develop incredible physiques regardless of age or natural body shape.
As is always the case with Fitness Lab, you’re guaranteed a completely bespoke-to-you experience, world-class 1-1 coaching in impeccable private studio space, immaculate changing areas, and no membership fees – ever.
Private Weight Loss Training In Your Own Studio Space
As health and fitness professionals, we’re very aware that typical gym spaces often aren’t appealing to women who are looking to work towards fitness goals. At Fitness Lab, we break the mould – we have personal training ‘pods’ that are exclusively yours when you work with your qualified personal trainer.
Everything you need for your tailored workouts can be found in your pod – including cardio and strength training equipment, as well as all those other useful items that can be hard to track down in a gym – like mats, rollers, steps, balls, and more. What’s more, the only eyes on you will be your dedicated coach – because privacy is important for everyone.
Lose Body Fat, Improve Your Health, Build Confidence
Virtually everyone has problem areas that might feel difficult to see beyond when you look in the mirror as you get dressed.
It’s not always the figure on the scales that’s the problem. Sometimes, it’s just because your favourite pair of jeans feel a bit tighter than they used to, or it’s feeling like your energy levels drop when you used to be able to power through the day.
You’re not alone with these feelings. Hundreds of women have come to our Soho, Mayfair, and Fitzrovia studios feeling exactly the same. We can promise you that by tailoring our female-focused workout plan to suit you and your lifestyle, you’ll feel an almost instant difference to how you feel and what you see when you look in the mirror.
A Proven Holisitic Approach to Women's Weight Loss
There’s plenty of information online that could lead you to believe that weight loss is as simple as creating a calorie deficit – i.e. burning more calories than you use over a period of time. While creating a calorie deficit certainly has a place in losing weight – it’s only part of the picture for women.
Weight loss – or, more specifically, fat loss – is something that requires attention in a range of different areas, not least the type of physical training you do, your training experience, your specific time of life, the quality of the rest you get, your unique stress levels, your level of muscle mass – and much more.
At Fitness Lab, we don’t believe in drastic changes – they’re hard to follow, often demoralising, and rarely stick in the long term. Instead, your coach will help you identify a series of small, manageable changes that are achievable and can be constantly built upon to help you work towards your specific goals. You’ll be astounded at what you can achieve when lots of 1% changes add up!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Will a Beginner's Weight Loss Program Look Like?
If you’re new to fitness or you’re returning after a break, we appreciate that the idea of telling a personal trainer that you’d like to lose weight might feel like you’re opening the door to a lot of hard work and suffering.
Don’t worry though – the last things you’ll hear from us are any of those “no pain, no gain” or “go big or go home” type of ‘motivational’ mottos. Quite the opposite.
When you workout with Fitness Lab, you’ll be working with a personal training team that helps you understand the way you move is more important than the weight you move – and that every session should be a celebration of the steps you’re taking toward your goal. We’re not saying you won’t work up a sweat – but you’ll do it in a way that’s positive, sustainable, and – importantly – fun.
For more about our approach and what to expect, take a look at our blog: What Does a Beginner Weight Loss Programme Look Like?
How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose?
Although we don’t like answering questions with questions – we’d first like to know how much weight you’d like to lose!
You might not believe it now, but whatever fitness level you are and whatever goal you have in your head, we’ll do everything in our power to get you there. We’ve helped people lose a few pounds, we’ve helped people cut their bodyweight in half, and we’ve even helped people transform their bodies to become fitness magazine cover models.
Whatever your goal, we’ll get you there in a way that doesn’t leave you miserable, exhausted, injured or desperate to eat. We’re confident of this because we don’t believe in fad diets, miracle workouts, or overnight results. Instead, we work with proven science and psychology to help to obtain the kind of body you might not otherwise think is possible.
To understand more about the kind of science that informs how we work, you can explore our blog post: How Much Body Fat Can You Lose in a Week?
Do You Have Body Composition Equipment I Can Track My Progress With?
Yes, we do. We use professional level Tanita MC-580 body composition scales – some of the very best in the personal training industry.
Connected to an app, our Tanita scales will give you an incredible in-depth assessment of your body. You’ll get a view on sarcopenia levels, visceral fat levels, total body fat in % and kg, total muscle in % and kg, water % and kg and more.
You’ll also get a regular review of muscular balance within your body – which is invaluable to our personal trainers, as it allows us to take into account any imbalances or injuries, so we can continually fine-tune your fitness regime and body transformation journey.
How Many Sets and Reps Should I Be Doing for Fat Loss?
Generally, you should be looking at more ‘reps’ (repetitions – the number of times you perform an exercise) and ‘sets’ (the number of times you produce that many repetitions) when you’re aiming to lose weight.
Of course, the weight that you’re moving has a big part to play too. No one would expect you to simply do more sets and reps of a heavy weight – so training for fat loss will generally involve low/medium weights.
There’s a lot of science involved in why this is the right choice for weight loss. This science is mostly around the fat-burning benefits of you muscles and connective tissue react to ‘time under tension’ – so, since more sets and reps increase that time under tension, this is what you should be aiming for to shift unwanted fat.
We’ve explored this topic and more (including how circuit training, strength training exercises, and compound exercises can be part of a weight loss workout) in greater detail in our blog: How Many Sets and Reps For Weight Loss?
I Really Struggle With Motivation - Will Personal Training Help?
Almost certainly. It’s easy to take a look at social media and get the impression that everyone’s got motivation to spare – but that’s really not the case. Motivation is difficult to find – especially at the start of your fitness journey.
The good news is, personal training can give you the nudge you need when you feel like skipping your workout. It’s not all about patting you on the back and cheering you on though – we work with principles and ideas that are proven to help you build weight loss habits that stick.

I Get The Impression I'll be Lifting Weights - How Does That Help?
Lots of people think that lifting weights – either using a machine or free-weights – will just make you get bulkier – but this really isn’t the case.
If you want to build substantial amounts of muscle, we can help – but 90% of the time, weight training in Fitness Lab is done with ‘toning up’ in mind.
There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the more muscle you have, the firmer your body becomes, even if you’re carrying a little extra weight. Secondly, the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns as you rest – helping to manage or reduce body fat levels.
This is just a quick overview – but if you’d like to learn more about why strength training is essential for people looking to lose weight, you can check out our blog: Should I Be Lifting Weights to Lose Weight?
