It has been a real pleasure to work with Sole2Soul over the past year, and their recognition as Sportivate Club of the Year for London and Coach of the Year is truly deserved. Sport has the power to make a real difference to people’s lives, and Sole2Soul is a great example of the role sport has to play in addressing the real issues faced by young Londoners.

Sole2Soul has worked with numerous clients across both the public and private sector. The feedback we get speaks for itself. We deliver successful initiatives in every engagement and support clients, be they individuals, groups or companies to make positive changes to their lives and achieve their goals. Our most exciting achievement was to talk on the BBC Breakfast show, where Charlotte spoke about the growing research and interest in exercise for mental health. Our work has also been recognised through the winning of awards, such as ‘London’s Sportivate Project of the Year’ in 2016 and ‘Coach of the Year 2016’, which received over 340 other nominees. The award was presented at London's O2 Arena amongst a few celebrity faces. You can view the footage of all three finalists here.

Sole2Soul's work within NHS Trusts has received numerous plaudits. Our work was recognised as “significant and exceptional” by the director of nursing at Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust, and that Charlotte "set a new precedent to personal training with people who have serious mental health illness". More recently Sole2Soul initiated a successful community project in Devon Partnership Trust, which has made huge and lasting benefits for numerous service users in the Trust.

Private sector companies have benefited hugely from the range of services Sole2Soul offers, be it through workplace wellbeing sessions or mental health awareness presentations. Our work has been described as “really informative, a superb presentation which opened my eyes”.

Personal training clients are where we started, and we have worked with many clients over the years to help them become more active and motivated in looking after their health and wellbeing.

See some of our quotes below for more detailed feedback on what our clients are saying about us:

 

I was an inpatient following a breakdown and was treated by the crisis team… the exercise sessions help me to deal with stress and anxiety, and overall improve my mental health. I get to meet new people, socialise and most of all laugh. I feel fitter and more motivated about everyday life.” - NHS service user.

 

“I’ve noticed that I’ve become less anxious and depressed when attending the Sole2Soul classes regularly. My friends, family and colleagues at work have also noticed a difference” - NHS service user.

 

“The group training helps me to deal with stress and anxiety, and overall improve my health. I get to socialise and most of all laugh. I feel fitter and more motivated about everyday life. Charlotte pushes me to my limits but makes it super fun at the same time” - Emma, 42 yrs, group training

  

”I’ve really enjoyed Sole2Soul’s group training. It is a great mixture of exercises and games which are incorporated into each session, it makes it more fun than other classes I’ve been to. The addition of mindfulness at the end leaves me feeling really positive and relaxed” - Beth, 28yrs, group training

 

“Having diabetes can be a struggle, especially when it comes to exercise, but since working with Sole2Soul I have found that my blood sugars have improved, having a positive impact on my health and fitness. Sole2Soul is unique as each session is different, focusing not only on your body but also your mind and what you achieve when you are positive. It’s a great way to de-stress from your busy lifestyle, and it’s as much fun as it is hard work!” - Caroline, 30yrs, private client

“Since I started having personal training sessions I have lost 5kgs and I feel so much stronger and fitter. If I am away for a week the difference in my fitness is noticeable! Charlotte delivers a program suited to my needs and makes sure I am working at the level to get results.” - Richard, 55yrs, private client
