About us
We champion exercise as a transformative tool for mental health and happiness. MINDFIT offers Personal Training, Strength & Conditioning, Boxing, Yoga & Pilates at our fitness studios in Brockley and Nunhead in Lewisham, South East London.
The studios
MINDFIT studio in Brockley and Nunhead.
We opened our Brockley studio in March 2023. Mindfit is a place where exercising can become a safe, playful and nourishing part of life, rather than yet another area to put pressure, judgment and expectations on ourself.
In Autumn 2024, our Nunhead studio will open and we can’t wait to meet you all and create something special.
You can find out more about our journey here.

Danny
Danny is a personal trainer, Pre&Post natal qualified and a BCP Pilates Instructor. "I believe exercise should be fun and engaging - life is stressful enough! I love helping people find their own relationship with movement, and it brings me joy when clients gain confidence, find release from the day to day, and get stronger mentally and physically."
Joké
Joké (Jo-Kay) is a professional boxer. He primarily started boxing for the extra fitness, but soon became addicted! "I often tell people that boxing is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done (harder than getting my degree 😆). It has calmed me & built my confidence exponentially. Boxing develops and strengthens many aspects of our world - Mental health, discipline, confidence to name a few. For this, I will always be an advocate for boxing"
Kathryn
“I’m a PT and Women’s Coaching Specialist. I’m passionate about helping people to improve their relationship with exercise and become stronger and more confident in the process. It’s my aim to get people into a healthy routine with their training, one that leaves them physically and mentally healthier, more resilient and ready to face whatever life throws at them. Outside of the studio you’ll probably find me at CrossFit, walking my dog or drinking a fancy coffee!”

I am a firm believer in practicing yoga for both mental and physical wellbeing and find it a perfect complement to other forms of training. Aside from yoga I love travel, photography, reading, strength training, and above all my three cats"
Sharon

She believes one of the best things we can do for ourselves when it comes to supporting our mental health, is through healthy movement that connects our mind to our bodies.
Paula
Seasoned marathon runner turned strength and conditioning enthusiast Paula, recently has taken up coaching and enjoys sharing her passion and experience with others, especially older adults and those who feel like exercise isn’t for them.
Zoë
Zoë found boxing in her 20s, a sport that has now become her main training focus as she compete at an amateur level. "The technical side of boxing requires you to focus 100%, meaning you can walk into the gym after a bad day and walk out with a totally clear head. These aspects of boxing and strength training are something I’m keen to pass on to clients who train with me, especially anyone who hasn’t found that one ‘thing’ that makes them really enjoy exercise yet."
Leo
“When we come to the gym it’s our chance to leave our stresses and worries at the door and step into a community and a safe space. As someone who has battled an eating disorder training has become my outlet to help others. I am a current rugby player and have been since I was a child and have added powerlifting for the past few years so movement and lifting have been passions of mine since I can remember. I’m excited to meet you all.”
Tida
Tida is a Qigong, Somatics & Meditation Teacher and Artist. “I find the combination of Qigong & Somatics both grounding & uplifting, whilst calming for the mind. Qigong is an ancient healing art based on the Chinese Five Elements & how they relate to the body. The practice of Qigong engages body & mind through intention-based movement. Many Qigong forms embody the qualities of nature & wild animals, whilst working in tandem with the seasons. Qigong can help to activate the parasympathetic nervous system – our rest & digest state, which in turn helps us navigate the stresses & struggles of life with more ease! I discovered Qigong & Somatics when I was feeling really lost in life & disconnected from my body. These practices gave me new creative outlets & helped me reconnect with my body in softer, yet powerful ways. I’m really passionate about empowering people to have autonomy over their bodies, so Somatics is great because it encourages you to listen deeply to your own body, that way you can move – or find stillness, in ways that feels good for you, regardless of what anyone else is doing around you!”
