Help with Every Part of Fat Loss
Huge lifestyle changes aren’t the way to lose weight – they’re the way to lose motivation. At Fitness Lab, we don’t do big changes that don’t stick – we work with lots of little adjustments, applied consistently, that all add up to you being a fitter, healthier version of yourself – and transforming what you see when you look in the mirror.
When you talk to one of our coaches, they’ll explain all the different factors that can impact your weight – then, they’ll put together a completely unique plan that will explain exactly how we’ll support you to get there.
Exclusive Private Pod Space
If you decide Fitness Lab is right for you, you’ll work out with your dedicated personal trainer in a private space we call a “pod.”
A pod is a part of our world-class, appointment-only studios that’s exclusively yours while you’re here. That means no waiting around for equipment, no feeling of being watched while you train, and zero distractions – so you’ll achieve more in an hour than you could anywhere else.
A Different Approach to Weight Loss
You might not expect to hear this from London’s best personal training company – but most exercise doesn’t work for weight loss. Nor do most diets for that matter.
Weight loss is complex. People who reduce the process to ‘eat more, move less’ are neglecting possibly the biggest factor – your psychology.
At Fitness Lab, we take a different, refreshing approach. We’ll help you understand what kind of exercise will make a difference. We’ll explain why 2-3 hours in the right studio each week is almost always enough. We’ll help you realise that small changes to the way you eat are always far more effective than big changes.
Most importantly, we’ll celebrate every step of the journey with you.
Real People, Real Stories, Real Results
We know personal training can be life-changing – but we don’t expect you to take our word for it. Read more about a real person’s journey with Fitness Lab.
No Membership Fees
As a Fitness Lab client, you do not pay ongoing membership fees — you pay for the sessions you use and nothing more.
This means you’ll always get outstanding value for money – and you can adjust your sessions up and down as required so they fit perfectly around your life and schedule.
You can even share the sessions you’ve paid for with a spouse, family member, colleague or friend too.
What Happens at a Weight Loss Personal Training Consultation?
When you get in touch with Fitness Lab, we’ll call or email to arrange a free, no-obligation 1-hour consultation at the studio of your choice with a world-class coach we think will suit your needs.
During your consultation, you’ll get a tour of the studio, and your personal trainer will chat with you about your goals. We’ll carry out a detailed movement assessment and a professional body composition scan – helping to identify strengths and potential weaknesses. From there, your coach will explain exactly what your sessions would involve.
It’s the perfect opportunity to see if Fitness Lab feels like a good fit for your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 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?
Can You Work With Professional Athletes To Hit a Weight Goal?
Yes, we can. Whether you need to hit a weight-in before a fight or you’re just trying to get yourself to a particular weight for optimal performance, we’re well positioned to help.
When you work with Fitness Lab, you’re working with a team who know exactly how to apply science to get the results you want. No fad diets or quirky training programmes – just exceptional psychological and physiological knowledge that’s proven itself time and time again.
Can You Help Me Put Together a Nutrition Plan?
Absolutely! Although what you do in the gym will contribute to your weight loss goals significantly, there’s a lot you can do in the kitchen to help too.
We can help you understand which food types will help you to build muscle, burn fat, stay feeling full, and keep you energy levels up throughout the day. Of course, as your fitness levels change, so too will your nutritional requirements – but with on-going body composition assessments, we’ll keep you informed with what science is telling us about your body – and we’ll help you adjust your eating to stay on track with your goals.
Do You Have Body Composition Equipment?
Yes, we do. We use professional level Tanita MC-580 body composition scales – some of the very best in the personal training industry. When you come for a free consultation, we’ll carry out body composition assessments, movement assessments, and much more.
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 Weight Loss?
Generally, you should be looking at more ‘reps’ (repetitions – the number of times you perform an exercise) and ‘sets’ (the number of time 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 in more detail in our blog: How Many Sets and Reps For Weight Loss?
Do You Offer Group Classes?
No, we don’t. Although group classes can be a fantastic social exercise, experience tells us that working one-on-one with a personal trainer will almost always bring better fat loss results.
If you’re nervous about going solo, we’d encourage you to get in touch. We realise that gym and fitness environments can feel intimidating – so we do everything we can to create a friendly and welcoming space, whatever level of fitness experience you have.
