Joined Vibes Studio to train for HYROX and it’s been tough but so worth it. Michael and Ania make it feel like a real community. Grateful for the support (even if the training hurts! 💪🏿) I’ve pushed myself further than I thought I could. Couldn’t ask for a better place to grow and get stronger.

Having barely set foot in a gym for the best part of 40 years, I never imagined I’d end up going 5 days a week — yet here I am, and there’s a reason for that: Vibes Studio. Ania and Michael are brilliant, supportive coaches who somehow manage to push you while still making you feel completely comfortable. The members are all lovely too, and it genuinely feels like a big happy family — which I know sounds a bit awful, but it’s actually the opposite. It’s welcoming, encouraging and never intimidating. I’ve made friends, laugh constantly, and have become so much stronger than I ever thought possible. I’ve seen changes in myself I honestly didn’t expect. The Small Group PT classes are such a smart idea and absolutely perfect for anyone who feels too shy or nervous to walk into a gym on their own. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Vibes is not your typical “gym”, it’s a boutique studio where you’re welcomed and made to feel part of the family from your first class. I trained for my first Hyrox there and loved all the classes I attended. Ania and Michael absolutely know their stuff- top notch training, equipment and session variety. I also really appreciated the flexible booking system. 100% recommend!

I have been training with Ania for the last 6 months and I can’t recommend the set up that her and Michael have established highly enough. The small group PT sessions have been a game changer for me as it’s great to work out with other people but with your PT correcting form and constantly encouraging and pushing you further! Vibe really is a Vibe - I love it!

Vibes studio is my happy place 🏋️‍♀️! Ania and Michael are the ultimate duo that keep me coming back for more 😂. I'm not exactly known for my commitment, but I've been rocking up to every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday class like clockwork ⏰. It's been a game-changer for my mental and physical health 💪.

I found Vibes Studios by chance while scrolling for gyms in the local area. I joined on a pay-as-you-go basis to get a feel for the gym, but within a week I switched to a full membership because it ticked all the boxes. Ania and Michael are brilliant coaches who push you to achieve your goals, and the community they’ve created is amazing — everyone looks out for each other and is always willing to help. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Vibes Studio is an amazing gym with top-notch equipment and an even better atmosphere. Ania and Michael are absolutely fantastic, they really know what they’re doing, and it shows in every session. Their guidance has been a huge help, and thanks to them I’m finally able to keep up with my Border Collie’s pace (which says a lot! 😂). If you’re looking for a place with great vibes, knowledgeable trainers, and real results, I can’t recommend Vibes Studio enough!

We found Vibes around 3-4 months ago, and honestly, we are beyond words at how grateful we are to have found this gem. We cannot recommend enough. The time, effort and care that Michael and Ania place on the community they’ve built is ridiculous. You can tell every session is planned like a fine art, catered to individual needs, whether that’s prepping for a race or you have an injury. We have met so many amazing people here that we wouldn’t have in a traditional gym.

This studio is a gem. From the first time I came I felt so welcome, the community that Micheal and Ania have created is special. The coaching ,the classes and equipment are all top tier. I actually look forward to attending knowing that I’ll be buzzing for hours after. Can’t recommend Vibes studio enough. 10/10.
