Solo The Training Club - Henfield

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Joining Solo has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and wellbeing. Run by the incredibly passionate and positive duo, Gemma and Finn, this gym is so much more than just a place to work out. Their team’s dedication and support (shout out to Lianne too for her brilliant coaching skills!) have helped me not only reach my “Fit by 40” goal, but also maintain it—and I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident than ever.

What makes Solo special is the community they’ve built. It’s such a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, and I’ve made some truly great connections with the lovely people who train here. Whether it’s the variety of classes, the tailored advice, or just the upbeat energy they bring every day, Gemma and Finn have created something really special. The coffee and energy balls are pretty awesome too!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for motivation, results, and a positive environment to thrive in!

Thank you to Fin and the Team at Solo, I have been a member and attending sessions for nearly 12 months. Fin is inspiring, he takes time with members, demonstrates and coaches you in a very encouraging way. Solo Gym is a lovely clean gym, excellent equipment with a lovely meeting area , with complimentary coffees and very often the most delicious , home made energy balls. If you are looking for a personable, friendly environment to start your gym journey Solo is the place for you !

A welcoming, professional and engaging personal training space. I have never felt so motivated and addicted to strength training. Fin, Gemma and team cater for all ages and abilities. Initially I was put off by the expense but I’m effectively getting 3 PT sessions a week, enjoying the company of new friends, great coffee and a stronger body!

Update - I’ve been a member for almost a year. It’s been transformational. I feel part of a wonderful friendly community, I feel strong and alive and I feel confident in my body. So glad I joined!

Lovely friendly gym in beautiful surroundings run by amazing people who really care about their clients.
I joined a few months ago and can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve made for my health and wellbeing. I am stronger, fitter and happier!
The small group strength training sessions are bespoke to each member and the cardio sessions are always fun and exhausting 🙂
Fin, Gemma, Leanne and the team are hand with helpful advice and great complimentary coffee and homemade protein balls 🙂
Come along for a free taster session you won’t regret it.

Couldn’t recommend solo enough! I have never felt more confident and healthier in my life. The community is absolutely amazing and so encouraging. Finn, Gemma and the team are so lovely and will manage and tailor things to you if you have an injury or training for marathons ect… even in small groups it really does feel like you are still having a 1-1 as fin will look at every moment to make sure your technique is correct. but also between sets having friendly great conversations and a laugh with everyone. I’ve met so many amazing people and hasn’t become a ‘chore’ to exercise. It’s now an amazing lifestyle I look forward to 🥰

I’ve been training at Solo for years now, and its the best of the best. From recovering from an injury to getting me ready for both a half marathon and a full marathon, Fin, Gemma, and Leanne have been an incredible support.

What really stands out is their approach to weight training. After my injury, I was a bit hesitant, but they tailored my sessions perfectly to help me rebuild strength without overdoing it. They know how to create routines that are both challenging and safe. The progress I’ve made in my strength and mobility has been huge, and it’s made a real difference in my running and overall fitness.

The vibe at Solo is amazing. It’s not just about lifting weights; it’s about having fun while doing it. The coaches keep each session fresh, with frequent changes to the programme. They push you when needed but always offer the support and encouragement that makes a huge difference.

All sessions are made even better by a delicious coffee by Julie & Angela after x

I am 67 and 6 years post a major trauma which means I have a quite a few bodily restrictions. I have tried various gyms and personal trainers and none of them have managed to accommodate my needs. SOLO have been brilliant! Fin made a very thorough assessment of my restrictions before I started and worked out a number of ways to accommodate my needs while still developing the same muscle groups. 10 weeks in and I feel significantly stronger and have developed my technique so that I can handle heavier weights. A couple of times I have felt very stiff after a session and Fin has been able to diagnose what is causing this and adjust how I undertake the exercise. Throughout, he and Leanne are very attentive to my technique, watching me in detail, and they provide regular feedback to confirm my good form or suggest how to improve it. Their knowledge of physiology and how that relates to my past injuries is excellent and they are very good at identifying what exercises might be difficult for me. Anybody with specific needs should not hesitate to investigate SOLO.

All this combined with very friendly and supportive instruction plus a strong sense of community among other attendees makes for a really fun environment to exercise in and one which I always look forward to.

My strength has really improved since going to Solo. I started around 20kg deadlifts and now I can lift 60kg. I’m up to 100kg on my hip thrusts! I couldn’t recommend Fin and Gemma more - they’re lovely and have created a wonderful community.
