About Us & Our Team

About Us

Hi, we’re Tom and Emma, the husband-and-wife duo behind Energy for Life Fitness, Yoga & Pilates.

We’re not just the owners of the studio, we’re your teachers, your welcome crew, and the ones replying to your messages. Between us, we lead many of the classes, and we also look after the day-to-day running of things like bookings, memberships, and communications. So when you reach out, it’s us you’re speaking to – no call centres, no automated menus, just real people who care.

Energy for Life isn’t just a name, it’s our mission. We believe that fitness, strength, and movement should support you in real life – whether that’s having the energy to keep up with your kids, the strength to help a loved one, or the mental clarity to show up at work feeling focused and calm. We’d love to get to know you better: where you’re at on your wellness journey, what motivates you, and what you’re hoping to achieve. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your practice, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Got a question about classes, memberships, pausing for holidays, or anything else? Get in touch, we’d love to help:

Our Story

Emma and Tom moved to Hanover, Brighton, in 2015 and started Energy For Life Fitness. With a house full of packing boxes and a baby on the way, the classes were initially taught outdoors in Queen’s Park.

They quickly moved the business into a small studio on Queens Park Road and were delighted to find that very quickly they were starting to out grow the space. With word spreading and attendance building they were under pressure to find something bigger. 

The universe delivered in style as they became aware of 2 storey warehouse space that was perfect and just around the corner from Queen’s Park and up the road from Kemptown. The space had been empty for 20 years, had just been renovated by the owners, and was due to be taken to the estate agent that week when Emma very randomly came knocking at their door. A few more goosebump-inducing synchronicities later and they’d found themselves a new home at the top of Sussex Stree, where we have been ever since.

Tom and Emma

The upstairs Yoga & Pilates Studio is spacious, bright, and airy. Sea views to the south and windows on all sides create beautiful light, especially during our sunrise and sunset classes. With over 80 square meters there is space for up to 21 mats for yoga and 18 for Pilates. During the cooler months, the yoga studio is kept lovely and warm using ceiling-mounted infrared heating panels that radiate a health-promoting heat like the gentle rays of sun on your skin.

Downstairs is the fully kitted-out functional training studio for strength and fitness classes, calisthenics, personal training, and open gym sessions. With over 90 square meters of open-plan layout, there’s plenty of space to make use of all our functional training equipment.

Why the name Energy For Life? Emma and Tom’s vision is about developing the health to live well. Whether it is the endurance to keep up with your 8-year-old footballing son, or the strength to physically assist your elderly mum into the car, or the mental clarity to feel on top of your game at work.
