My life will never be the same! I have been working with Lillian for a year now and I can honestly say, I am living my best life as my best self! I joined the Breakthrough because I was chronically depressed, anxious, exhausted in battling what I had accepted as my reality. I've gone to therapy, I've read through so many self-help books and articles, I've talked with mediums, and I've been self-medicating. In mere 16 weeks, I no longer need to take my medication, I felt vibrant, at peace, happy, and free. I've healed my relationship with my mother, I am now working at my dream job. And this is all just after a year! Imagine what else is in store if I continued? Lillian has put so much work into cultivating a safe and amazing community. The support, love, and connection are all genuine, where everyone is there to work on themselves and to support each other's growth. There's seriously nothing like this! I am still working with Lillian today and I highly highly recommend her! read more

I have been working with Lillian on and off for years and joined her Breakthrough program this past year. And still, work with Lillian today! The Breakthrough program changed my life. I used to read all the self-help books, work out here and there (but nothing ever consistently), attend lots of professional development trainings, and therapy. It felt like I went through years of therapy and healing in weeks. I was stuck for years, trying lots of things but nothing ever worked (not even a consistent workout routine). During the Breakthrough program, I worked out consistently, lost 20 lbs, worked on myself, and was part of an amazing community of high-performing people who want to level up. The program impacts all aspects of your life (because it's all connected). Lillian is an amazing coach and such an inspiration to learn from. I still work with Lillian today and highly recommend her! read more

Meeting Lillian and going through her 16-week Breakthrough program was the best decision I made in 2020. I didn't know what a "life coach" or "transformation coach" was prior to meeting her...I just knew I needed SOMETHING, and I knew right away from talking to her that this was what I needed to do. I'm one of those "checked all the boxes" and "looks great on paper" people. But I was feeling so empty. Lillian's program was the best investment I made in myself...I've learned so much about myself, learned to trust myself, built positive daily routines and habits, and overall...I don't how else to say it but...I'm happy and full. Her program is legit. My husband, who doesn't even know what the program entails, saw a total transformation in my outlook and happiness level. Now, he encourages our friends to look into coaching with Lillian because even though he doesn't even know what the program is all about, he saw the results! Lillian is the real deal. Holistic, incredibly knowledgeable, full of love and compassion. And she will call you out on your bullshit in the most epically loving way. If you're looking to grow and become the best version of yourself, this is it. If you're wondering whether to sign up with Lillian, honestly, do yourself a favor and just do it. You will not regret it. read more

Prior to working with Lillian I had sought support through various channels that helped me through different events in my life. I thought I had everything together, but I didn't. I had two impactful losses in my life in less than two years and one included the loss of my mother right before the pandemic hit. On the surface, everything seemed okay... But I really felt a loss in myself. I've been working with Lillian for over 4 months at this point and it has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. She brings you on a journey of self discovery and with it a community of like minded people who support you every step of the way. You may be able to find all the necessary help through the limitless amount of information in books, social media, online, etc. but are you really going to take action and the accountability in yourself to change? Lillian helps you learn to take more accountability for yourself and her 16 week Breakthrough Program was life changing. You learn how to build a foundation for yourself with easily digestible information spread evenly throughout the program. You are seen. You are heard. You are celebrated. I had been surviving for so long, but with Lillian's support I'm now thriving. read more

I started working with Lillian in the summer this year and over the 6 months of coaching, I can honestly say I learned a lot about myself and gained confidence and inner strength and positivity. To be honest, I was very hesitant to start working with Lillian because I didn't think I needed a coach. Even in the first couple of months, I was wary about whether coaching would have an effect but I put in the work and am very happy I committed to her coaching! She helped me acknowledge and celebrate my many personal and professional accomplishments. She really helped lift me up because normally, I would shrug off things I've done but she brought them to light and encouraged me to be proud of everything I did this year. Also, I no longer thing daily gratitudes are hokey :). I can see that she truly loves what she does and truly cares about people. She brings her rockstar energy and it's inspiring. I highly recommend you work with her! read more

It's been 5 weeks since I joined Lillian's newest program The Breakthrough and I had to come back and update my previous review because the experience has been INCREDIBLE!! There are so many loving, supportive & encouraging people in the program it's amazing. There's nothing quite like the support of 40+ people who are all also on their journey of personal growth cheering you on! Before I joined I had gone through a really rough patch mentally. Looking for new work and questioning my abilities and self worth in 2020 really challenged me. I developed patterns of anxiety and depression that really affected my day to day life. By fall of 2020 I realized I needed help. Lillian recommended the program and I'm so thankful she did!! Following the lessons and healthy practices have helped me re-commit to self care basics and feel so much better about myself. Lillian and all the amazing members truly helped me see the value within myself. She selects such amazing souls to join the program!! You'll be doing this work with the community! Plus she has support staff (s/o to Rich) who check in with us weekly (and even more frequently if needed). She keeps the pulse on our progress and lovingly ensures that we're getting what we need to move the needle in our life. I am sleeping better. I am communicating with my family more openly. I have a much brighter outlook. I'm taking care of myself and accepting my needs in new & sustainable ways. Connecting with the community is so heart warming - especially during these times. The authenticity and mutual inspiration we share with each other ADDS SO MUCH to my general sense of happiness and well being. I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to her. You won't regret it. The opportunity for a solid foundation in your mental, physical and spiritual health is here for you. The connection and support available by joining is extraordinary. THANK YOU Lillian!! read more

Working with Lillian has really transform my life in so many ways and beyond to the initial thing I came to her to work through. I was lucky enough to be able to do 1:1 work with Lillian and I couldn't believe the change I saw in myself in just 6 months! Lillian is an amazing guide who helps you unpack and peel away the layers to allow yourself to heal. Before working with Lillian, I had trouble expressing myself and actually understand what I was feeling. I wasn't really confident and didn't really think highly of myself either. I often found myself replaying negative narratives time and time again, without a path to change my mindset. Starting from my discovery conversation with Lillian, I already felt very comfortable and understood, which really was the foundation of trusting her and this process. Lillian consistently gave me action items that really moved the needle within myself which affected all of the relationships around me, whether it be with friends, family, work, or my significant other. The things that were overwhelming and scary for me to do had become gradually easier with more practice. All of my relationships have deepened and I feel so free not having all of my emotions bottled up. I highly recommend reaching out to Lillian if you're looking for growth or change. I'm still working on myself, but I've been given great tools and learnings from Lillian to continue to grow! Put your trust in Lillian and also put the trust in yourself! You will surprise yourself with what you can accomplish with her! read more

Working with Lillian has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life! I've been working with her since September of 2020 and I've made more changes in these few months compared to the past 28 years of my life. The community she created is so empowering, healing, loving, and so so supportive. I decided to work with her because I felt so stuck in my life, was so anxious about everything, and didn't know what to do to really propel and achieve what I know is meant for me and what I'm capable of. In these few months, I've lost weight without being insane about it or going on a crazy diet, developed a healthy relationship with exercise, let go of so much emotional baggage, and realized all the potential I hold in my life. Although I still have much to tap into, working with her has made the process so freeing, and happened faster than if I decided to tackle this all on my own(which I have been trying to just do my whole life.) This program gives you an amazing coach/healer, an amazing community full of the most loving and supportive humans ever, group coaching, exercise/workouts: literally everything you ever need to expedite and foster your growth and healing. I recommend reaching out to Lillian! You won't regret it, it's full of opportunities and growth to tap into your best self. She is the best! She is so honest, supportive, and there for you. You will grow in so many ways faster than you realize. read more

Signed up for the 30 day challenge...dropped out after 2 weeks. $30 to get nickeled and dimed on Zoom. It's not daily (as challenges usually are), but 2 classes 3 days a week and 1 class 2 days a week. You have to sign up for each individual class at least an hour ahead of time, but then get fined $5 if you're even a minute late. After 5 minutes, you're not allowed in and get charged a $10 cancellation fee. You always have to have your camera on, so if you don't want to be recorded, you can't participate live and have to watch the recording later. Which is sometimes better, because you're going to want to fast forward through the first half of the class. Why? It's a live infomercial of "what we do here" by "connecting with the community" and getting people to "share" so she can showcase her coaching. Then it's "this community is the best thing in the world" getting shoved down your throat. 25 minutes of working out MAX. The coaching was completely useless, unless you want to hear things like "my witch doctor in Korea told me that if I want to be a lion, I should eat a gazelle!" Just stick to YouTube. read more

Working with Lillian is the best choice I've made in my life. She makes you feel fully understood, helps you recognize what it is that you're feeling/going through, and make transformation so fun! She will expedite your growth faster than you can imagine, all you need to do is show up and follow the steps! My experience: When I joined the Breakthrough, I was feeling super lost, stuck, and unhappy. I was constantly overworking (usually don't leave office until after 8pm) and had difficulty taking care of my needs. I was living a life I knew I will regret but I didn't know how to stop and how to get out. I'm a very driven person so even this being stuck feeling was so frustrated Within 2 weeks of joining, I finally had the self confidence to prioritize my own time and was able to leave the office by 5-5:30 AND with NO feeling of guilt. This was something I've been trying to do for 2 years with very minimal improvement. By week 4, I let go of a lot of resentment/bitterness of baggage and had a very healing heart to heart with my mom. By month 2-3 I started to develop habits that I never in my life considered I may do (not snooze, cook/eat breakfast before work, winding down routine). Most important of all, by the end of the 4 months, I love myself more than ever and that leads me to be confident in myself and chase the things I want in life. Why it works: the programs works bc of the structure and the community. And it's like an all in one of exercise, coaching, meditation, everything Do you read a lot of self help books? How much has actually been implemented into your life? I read tons of self help books and very little effective changes were applied. I now realize it's not bc something was wrong with me, but people just don't have the right support when they do it on their own. Structure: the program is very intentional. The reason why you don't know your purpose in life is bc there's all these roadblocks that prevent you from being able to truly identify it. So Lillian provides a very clear process to do that. First we work on tuning into our physical being. Next is getting in touch with mental/emotional to understand your feelings/needs/headspace. Then lastly you can get in touch with your heart. This step by step process gives you the necessary guidance to gain the self love to identify and go after whatever you want. Community: 1:1 therapy/coaching can feel lonely and cause you to feel different than others. Having the community of people going through the work together has been so healing. I connect so deeply with everyone and each person's share helps me heal too. This is one of the best parts of the program and really shows why doing self development on own is so challenging and slow All in one: You get a process for transformation, fitness classes, a community of friends, access anytime to Lillian and support coaches(they're super responsive), astrology/tarot, and tons of resources. One stop shop for everything you'd want! Don't hate on astrology till you see Lillian do it, I thought it's a bunch of bs before but it's been such a useful tool The breakthrough program is life changing, don't overthink and just book that clarity call with Lillian! read more

Lillian continues to level up and impress with all that she does. She has expanded her unique and magical abilities to help even more people by creating a community looking to grow and transform so they can live their best lives. It's an amazing program where everyone has the individuality to express their own journey, support one another, and still receive the guidance, wisdom, intuition and love from Lillian that makes her so impactful and unique. While I've been working with Lillian for awhile, I continue to discover limiting beliefs that hold me back from being my best and happiest self. The past couple of years I have focused on stepping into my power and confidence, ensuring my voice and opinions are heard and shedding paralyzing thought processes. Through all of the changes and unknowns of 2020, I can honestly say that both Lillian and the community she has created have helped me to remain more grounded, confident and happier than I would have been facing these challenges without their support, stories, struggles, and wins. I can't wait to see what this new, expanded community opens up for us all. read more

I have been working with Lillian for over 10 months. I met her through my friend Amy whose been working with her for over 7+ years. I was struggling in silence and was very depressed for a couple of years. It magnified during the pandemic. I began working from home and felt so isolated. I booked a call with Lillian and I told her everything I was struggling with and cried the entire call. She provided an answer I was searching for, for over 2 years. Joining her Breakthrough program was the best decision I made for myself during 2020. Not only do you get Lillian but you also get her community filled with amazing people who are also working on themselves. I've made so many new friends who are supportive, funny and loving. I've learned so many tools to help me navigate through life. I am living my best, abundant and fulfilling life. I'm so grateful for Lillian, her program and community. Talk to her, take the leap of faith and let her guide you. You will enter a world you never knew existed! read more

6 years later, I can only continue to gush about the incredible amount of growth I've experienced since meeting Lillian and continuing to work 1:1 with her and be part of the active SOfit Community. Time and again Lillian has evolved and developed her style of teachings, formats to learn. 1. 1:1 Session. This is probably where you will experience the most transformation and healing. I meet with Lillian 2x a month and this time is so invaluable for me to continue to work on specific themes and areas of myself to truly help my overall emotional, mental wellbeing. Lillian has a pure gift of being an active listener and helping you identify your feelings, needs and comes with clear action steps to make the next move or level up in life. Each session is unbiased, and she is so nurturing, patient and really helpful in uncovering amazing things about myself. I'm in awe. 2. Community. This is one of the ways she shares unselfishly all the learnings and practices within a community. I find this community so valuable in holding ourselves accountable, learning from one another, finding connection and knowing I have colleagues to work with as we all reach for our personal goals and self-transformation. Lillian curates themes weekly and it's like getting a dose of knowledge every week. 3. Retreats. I am well over due for one, but highly recommend everyone experience. This is where the first dose of magic really started to manifest after taking an intense 4 days of deep rooted workouts and mental work to really gain amazing tools that I still use to this day. Again, Lillian is an expert at her craft, curating an amazing week of fitness and holistic healing with likeminded individuals in the middle of paradise. 4. Workshops. Whether it's about communication, money, vision boarding, food 101, these half day workshops really hones in and focuses on a given topic and I am left with so much knowledge and tools. Lillian has been nothing but generous, kind, motivating and the biggest champion for your growth and development, and she offers a plethora of methods really help you get there. The result in the last 6 years? Multiple job changes and promotions, financial stability, improved communication. Every milestone in my life - the highest of highs I always think of SOfit and how it's helped me get there. My lows -- I thank SOfit for the ability to navigate with grace and look ahead. There is so much more to uncap and the learning never stops. Her love for her students knows no bounds and I am so lucky to find her when I did. Put the work, add some faith and you can see the same for yourself if you are looking for a trainer, holistic mind body life coach. You are bound to find this and so much more. read more

SO where do I start? Working with Lillian since August 2020 and I legit didn't know what I was getting myself into. Basically best way to describe Lillian is she gives you something you didn't even know you needed and then gives you more. Am I vague as f? yes. Can I be more specific? definitely. But it's better you ask her directly than have a coffee filtered version of what she brings. read more

Providing an update to my previous reviews as it has been over 4 years of me working with Lillian. Over the years, my work with her has only grown deeper and I can confidently say I've witnessed my life change emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. I attend her classes 3-4 times a week and I've seen my body transform. I'm stronger now and am much more in tune with my body. I get better rest, I don't get sick as often and I know when I need to pay more attention to my body. With the daily journaling Lillian encourages us to do, the retreats I've attended, and the workshops I've participated in (money, self-love, relationship, etc.), I've been able to grow myself beyond just the physical. Lillian always pushes us to dig deeper and to uncover areas in our lives that have never been examined before. I've been able get to the root of various issues I've faced and develop action steps with the guidance and coaching Lillian provides. I've developed more confidence, better communication skills and have learned how to value myself. The person I was 4 years ago is very different from who I am today and I owe a lot of it to the work I've done with Lillian. The selfless compassion she has for her clients and students is what makes the work she does invaluable. read more

Another couple of years of working with Lillian and I can say we keep getting deeper. I have joined and been a part of the community, lead by Lillian as well as working with her for 1 on 1 sessions. I am living in LA now so the work is remote, and still incredibly impactful. Lillian has helped me recognize the abundance in my life and set me up for some major life changes. Getting married, buying a house, whaaa this was not the same me in 2015. Even in times when I have wanted to retreat because work is hard, Lillian has helped keep me accountable - from a loving standpoint and just wanting me to grow. This accountability is invaluable and I would not be where I am today without it. Thank you Lillian! read more

I started working with Lillian at the beginning of March 2020. She has honestly changed my life and working with her has really helped me thrive in 2020! I was struggling a lot with work-life balance, working out and feeling confident. I was feeling like I was in a constant negative space and couldn't really get my way out of it. Since I've started working with her, I lost 20lbs in her 16 week program and most importantly, my mindset has completely shifted. I've been able to be a better leader at work and advocate for myself. She has taught me the tools to be a better, happier, and more confident version of myself that I didn't even know was possible and we're only just scratching the surface. Lillian has a way of making you feel so loved and seen. The community that she has built is the most welcoming and supportive community you could ever be part of! Work with Lillian to unlock your highest potential and discover things about yourself and your relationships to be your best self. read more

When I first connected with Lillian, I remember feeling so hesitant and doubtful of what could change from having her in my life. All I can say 6 months on is this: making the decision to commit to her program amidst the tears and self-doubt is totally worth it. Even the moments when I found the woo-woo magic shit a little too hard to believe. Within 6 short months, I went from being incredibly unhappy, questioning my self-worth, overworking to compensate for my unhappiness, stressed the F out to: * Leading communications at my old job, facilitating and moderating D&I discussions for thousands of employees and trained our global leadership team (I traditionally shied away from being the center of any attention) * Finally breaking into the industry I've been wanting to be in for 10+ years Securing a dream job (I interviewed for 1 role & they decided to combine 2 roles I wanted into one and gave it to me. They basically gave me my 5-year plan, 5 years EARLY) * Securing a cross-country relocation package despite being told initially that would not happen & almost doubled my salary * Moving to a city closer to friends and loved ones * Receiving an outpouring of support and love from so many colleagues despite resigning at a difficult time All of this happened in the middle of a pandemic! I never thought I would have the opportunity to scale let alone secure a dream role when half the world is shutting down due to a pandemic! This just goes to show that external factors may be an obstacle but only if we allow them to be. Lillian always said to be grateful, to hold true to my affirmations and vibrate higher. Not gonna lie, this shit is HARD. You will question yourself, you will have days you think this is bullshit, you will get mad and you will cry. A LOT. But you will also get to the other side feeling so much lighter, more confident, loving yourself and understanding the true meaning of attracting what you project into the universe. Lillian is pure magic and goddamn, her shit is real. read more

Working with Lillian is really an opportunity to change your life, whatever that might mean for you. It is an opportunity to go inward with a skilled intuitive coach that focuses on all aspects of wellbeing; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, and so much more. There is so much to gain when working with Lillian, it's really up to you! Most likely things you didn't even know you wanted or maybe even needed. I started working out with Lillian in 2014 and eventually went to one of her retreats in Tulum that year. It was only a taste of all the introspection and self discovery work that was to come. I've since attended a second retreat in 2017 and have been a part of the membership community since that time. In the last two years I have; - recognized and gotten out of toxic relationships and situations - learned to spend my time more wisely - stopped over scheduling and overcommitting myself - learned to prioritize myself - learned to recognize myself - focused on healthy beneficial relationships - learned that self care is more than getting manicures and taking baths, but those are totally ok too! :) - healed wounded relationships - adopted healthier eating habits and improved my intestinal health - improved my fitness and continually see my body changing for the better - improved my communication skills - and am overall a more mindful person All of these things are attainable within the safe supportive space that Lillian fosters. I recognize that I have seen a lot of growth in just two years and am excited for the journey together to continue! read more

You're probably reading this because you wanna lose weight right? Well yes Lillian can definitely help you do that, but she can also help you achieve so much more. I was lucky enough to stumble onto Lillian through a friend in early 2020 and I can honestly say it changed my life. Sure, I lost weight, but I gained so much more. I gained a whole community and support. We spend so much money on things that don't serve us instead of investing in the things that we rely on to be happy, like ourselves. If you're reading this and thinking well I really just want to lose weight just know that you can absolutely achieve that, but when you work with Lillian you're going to achieve more than you think. You're going to realize that there are so many facets to yourself that you never really took the time to delve into. So many parts of your brain that effect not just how you weigh, but how you feel about yourself. The journey was not what I expected, but exactly what I needed in the end. I worked hard on myself during 2020 and the realizations that came to me surprised me consistently. If you're looking for someone to help you overcome some of your insecurities, confidence issues, weight issues or are you just want to be living the most incredible life possible for yourself, you're in the right place. read more

I started working with Lillian in March of 2020 right around the same time the world went into lockdown. The difference she's made in my life is tremendous and as I continue to evolve and learn, I continue to be amazed how simple transformation can be. This is not just for your outsides, but for your ENTIRE self. This is not some granola, green drink, torture yourself for 3 months only to do it again in 6 months program. Working with Lillian is for you if you're done living for everyone and everything else and are ready to step into your best life and live for YOU. read more

Here I am, almost three years after my last review for Lillian. I've continued to consistently attend classes, private sessions and retreats with Lillian. What updates do I have in the last three years? - I've been promoted twice, and doubled my income. - I'm 10 lbs lighter and much more importantly- the STRONGEST I have ever been in my life. I'm in shape, confident and enjoying this newfound healthy relationship with my body. I enjoy the endless benefits of being physically fit, including better sleep, less anxiety/stress, more energy, more clarity/focus and I rarely get sick. - I have the drive and support to create the career I've always wanted. You know that scary "impossible" idea lingering in the back of your head? That hidden dream you just assume isn't a real possibility? I'm making it real for myself with Lillian's guidance. I can't describe to you how fulfilling this is. - Mental struggles I've had my entire life are no longer a thing: anxiety, depression, insecurities and unhealthy relationships. Of course these things never evaporate into thin air, but I have the tools to identify them and correct them now. I no longer feel dragged around by these things, I feel in control of my life while still being in touch with myself. - I know and love myself on a level I never have before. Because of that, I am fully enjoying my life. I've discovered hobbies I didn't even know I loved. I've formed habits and rituals that are exciting and fulfilling. I take care of myself and it never feels like work. I make the most of every day because I truly know what I need and want out of this life. - I'm a part of the SOfit community and I have several meaningful relationships because of it. I feel supported in everything I do. I'm held accountable in the best way. Listen, I know it sounds extra. I know it sounds dramatic. Lillian So has changed my life, and things will never be the same. She's equal parts teacher, coach, cheerleader, real-ass bestfriend, healer and homie. She's constantly working on herself and on her business- which means she doesn't just talk about this stuff. She lives it. She's always working and open to feedback. She's always learning more for you- and about you. I can't speak for everybody, but I have no interest in learning and growing with somebody who doesn't practice it themselves. She's alongside with you. That really brings another level of trust to this kind of relationship. She's focused, enthusiastic, reliable and kind. She truly cares for every one of her clients. She goes above and beyond for you. Every time. Lillian has years of knowledge and professional experience in areas you didn't even know existed. And you soon learn that everything is connected. When you improve one thing it immediately begins to affect other areas of your life. Things start to change. And best of all? You understand why. If you want to feel this amazing domino effect of blessings, this is your girl. If you know that you deserve more, this is your girl (and trust me, you do deserve more). There is no doubt that Lillian is following her purpose. She's made to do this, and she's incredibly gifted at it. Are you ready to level up? read more

See all

Lillian So is truly something special. She is deep, soulful, wise, and impeccable-- and she brings all these qualities to her practice as an integrated fitness and mind-body wellness coach. Her purpose is to support positive change and transformation in every single person she works with. I've been working with Lillian for 4 years, and every year, I keep becoming a better version of myself. Through group fitness classes, I've learned to get into my body, and I'm stronger, more athletic, and more agile than I've ever been. I feel amazing in my body. When you take SOfit classes, you can't help but notice that it is all about the integrity of the movement. Whether it is the graceful, flowing, strong sequences of the SOfluid yoga program, or the athletic, agile, and explosive movements of the SOfierce high intensity cardio training, you realize that this is about so much more than exercising-- it's about pushing yourself to overcome barriers to create something of quality. Quality movement, quality habits, quality thoughts, quality life. Group fitness class is complemented by one-on-one sessions, where Lillian works deeper with me as a mentor and coach. Rooted in yoga philosophy, she practices from a place of compassion and love. It's a safe space to be completely yourself and express whatever is on your mind. She hears you, feels you, and works with you to come up with solutions. She helps me see possibilities where I might see obstacles. She's my partner in my growth in becoming a better human. Much like what you might see in traditional therapy, Lillian helps to identify patterns and beliefs that don't serve me, and works with me to develop practices, habits, and actions that I can take to make positive change. But she takes it to the next level, connecting the physical with the mental and emotional. Because it's all connected. Whatever you may be after-- whether you want to get physically fit and athletic, looking for life coaching and the tools to identify goals and action steps to reach them, or seeking to heal on an emotional level, Lillian So is a gifted, intuitive healer that is fiercely committed to making sure you thrive. read more

I wish there were 10 stars on yelp, like a bonus, because that's what Lillian So deserves. I actually found out about Lillian through Yelp, checked out her site, and learned about fitmob (which also deserves 10 stars) so the rest of this review is all about the experiences I've had with her through fitmob for the last month +. On Lillian - she's got it all, gym nut, hip-hop, yoga, kickboxing, flow, a love for music, a fierce passion for life, and she brings all of that plus a HUGE heart and energy into each class. If she's ever had a bad day I wouldn't know 'cause she just makes every class amazeballs!! SOfierce - This is a high-octane, bad ass, breakdance/yoga/martial arts/club exercise that is so addictive you come back for more. And get this, there's a live friggin' DJ!!! YEAH YOU RIGHT! So not only is she creating new workouts and moves on the fly with the music, DJ Bluz is also creating new music on the spot. And they feed off each other and flow with each other. It's magic!! Also, they now have a regular workout that happens at a club (yes a real club!) so the music is 10x more awesome and the energy is 100x more amazing. Love this class and I love the people that take it with me. SOfluid - Now I've mentioned fitmob, and I like the instructors they have a lot and I do take other classes with them. But for the first time EVER since taking a workout class I got goosebumps. For real goosebumps during this workout. There's no live DJ, which at first made me sad, but you get even more of Lillian's powerful flow. It's like combining dance, meditation, yoga, and healing all in one. I totally didn't realize it but half way through the class I was drenched in sweat! Truly amazing. She is also incredibly mindful and connected to all of us so she makes sure everyone has proper posture and is feeling the flow. Ok ok, I know this sounds like I'm in love with her... but I'm not... ok maybe a little. But one of my favorite things is that she pushes you, but she's also very conscious of where you're at. It doesn't matter what level you're at or how high you can jump, she'll help you get there and she'll encourage you to listen to your body. And if you don't believe me, believe the people that drive from Palo Alto and the East bay just to take her classes! read more

Lillian So is by far one of the best fitness instructors I've ever had. She's passionate about her work, incredibly committed to her students, and an all around great person. i've taken 4 of her programs - SoFierce, SoDefined, SoFree, and SoFluid. These programs are unique and a great workout. What I appreciate about Lillian's philosophy is that she's not only trying to improve your fitness, but also trying to improve things on a much deeper level. She starts each of her classes in a circle so that we can set an intention for what we want to work on both in the class and outside of the class. These intentions have helped me improve my fitness and my mental strength. My favorite program is SoFierce. It's a total body conditioning class that has awesome vibes. The class is hosted in a night club and also has a live DJ, who is one of the most talented DJs in the Bay Area (DJ Bluz). The combination of the music, ambience, and killer workout is an experience you can't get enough of. I highly recommend attending Lillian's classes or working with her! read more

You know you're going to have fun working out when your instructor walks in with pink hair. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Lilian So! It was my first time taking a class with Lillian and I can honestly say that she really cares about her student and what she teaches. She is extremely friendly, personable, and keeps it real. It's like working out with a girlfriend. Before class started she introduced herself and had everyone sit around in a circle and get to know one another. Who the heck does this? No other instructor. For some it may be a waste of time, for others it can be really nice to get to know people you work out with. The good thing is that Lillian doesnt do this to "waste" time she actually extended her class from 60 minutes to 75 minutes. Perhaps it was to incorporate these sessions, but isn't it awesome when you have an instructor that is willing to work a little extra for you? Regarding the class itself, I took SoFluid. Some things to know about SoFluid: - It is a modern take on yoga and incorporates music and you flow throughout the class to the music - It is a yoga mixed kind of dance workout (sounds weird, but it's fun). - It can be a bit intimating and difficult to keep up with, but I thik once you get the hang of it it is really fun. I still didn't full get the hang of it even towards the end of the class, but it's fine. - You will work out a sweat from the movements and transitions - It is not your typical yoga class I highly recommend trying out Lillian's class. It's very different (in a good way!) read more

I started working out with Lillian about eight months ago and I can truly say my life has changed in so many ways! I love her energy, I love how each class is different and I love how hard she pushes me to go above and beyond. What I love the most is her sense of community and how she brings everyone from her classes together, to one single community. As an instructor, she follows the vibes of the group. She always bring new and exciting things to each practice. Each of the spaces where she teaches are also amazing. I never imagined I'd be working out at a club, or doing yoga at a super sacred studio. The vibes are always amazing! I've became a healthier and more mindful person since I started practicing her programs. My favorite is SoFluid, I honestly hate yoga, but her SoFluid class goes beyond yoga movements. I can't even explain how connected I began to feel, everything from my breath to my body and emotions. You have to experience it to understand how beyond this world her programs are. read more

4 years later and I'm still rockin' with the one and only Lillian So. SOfit has evolved into a sanctuary where you can deepen your physical and mental strength. Every class starts in a circle so we can open up while breathing in her homemade essential oils. Lillian asks the community a question or just checks in with us to really set the intentions for class. Having the right mindset is important; it really keeps you focused throughout the experience. The workouts continue to be challenging because Lillian truly cares about her students well-being and growth. She really encourages you to do your best, even though there may be a little bit of a learning curve for newer students. Staying on beat to the music is key! Lillian has found homes at Temple Night Club and City Dance Annex for all four of her classes. Spinning at the nightclub sessions is the Bay Area's own DJBLUZ. Brian and Lillian give you that IRL (In Real Life) experience. They never rehearse the class, Lillian does her thing and Brian does his thing and it turns into something unique every time. SOfit also has a very user friendly app on iOS and Android for signing up and taking her classes. Lillian is a life coach, trainer, astrologist and everything else in between. The SOfit community has grown so much over the years. It's nice to see the positive changes within the community and it's definitely inspiring. Leave your "I'm too cool" attitude at the door and trust the process! read more

Lillian's classes are truly something special. She offers four types of classes - SoFree (movement / dance based), SoFluid (yoga based), SoFierce (for the badass in you that wants to tackle burpees and high intensity cardio workouts) and SoDefined (for defining key muscle groups, think shoulders and triceps and glutes). They're not your typical classes though because 1) she has a LIVE DJ for her SoFierce and SoDefined classes; 2) she values community and self empowerment; and 3) her workouts really work and you can definitely see improvements within your body AND mind. What're you waiting for?? read more

It's taken me so long to write this review because honestly I wasn't sure how I'd be able to give Lillian the justice she deserves! When I moved to San Francisco about 10 months ago, I was coming from a place where I had a steady fitness routine and people to workout with - it all felt very comfortable. So, when I got to the bay, I felt a bit lost looking for a way to get back into my routine. Gyms felt too cold and crowded, yoga studios were too niche, bootcamps were too competitive... But one day my coworker told me about these classes she's been going to for over a year that were in (wait for it...) a nightclub. With a DJ. And a badass fitness instructor with pink hair. I was a little hesitant at first because it seemed like sensory overload but eventually I made my way to the class (dragging along two of my friends) and when I say my mind was blown... my mind was BLOWN. You walk through an incognito door and are greeted by a SOfit veteran who directs you to the club's basement level where you are hit in the face by neon pink lights, a dance floor, a DJ booth, and some seriously satisfying beats. Lillian starts off every class with "circle time" where she asks everyone to share an answer to her question of the day (it usually pertains to the theme of the class - fierce, fluid, defined, etc). As a semi-awkward introvert, this was the most uncomfortable part for me when I first started attending class but as the months have gone on, you realize how important this is. Lillian is all about community, something that, in the fitness world, can be hard to come by at times. I can say as I've continued to regularly attend classes, you do become part of the SOfit family. We hang out on the weekends, create one-off classes amongst ourselves if Lillian's out of town, and genuinely look forward to the evenings we spend together at class. Lillian is extremely thoughtful. She cares about what's going on in your life and is attentive and aware of ways she can make your class a bit more personalized based on any injuries, soreness, or problems areas you're hoping to work on. Long story short (kind of) - if you want a super effective workout AND the chance to meet some awesome people, SOfit will be right up your alley. read more

I have been working with Lillian So of SOfitsf, for over 6 months now. To say that she has changed my life for the better is an understatement. Her program has changed the quality of my life, improved my self-confidence and taught me sustainable methods to coping with stress, emotional eating and clean eating. A behavior that have changed since my work with Lillian began, is my commitment to 'sticking to the plan' while not hating myself if I slip-up or make a bad decision. In days of yore, I would beat myself up over a poor choice in food or not exercising, which would eventually lead to more bad choices such as binge eating. Now I am able to accept the poor choice and have confidence that it isn't going to ruin all the work I have been doing. It's just a speed bump in my day that can easily be rectified by making sure I am making best choices throughout the rest of my day. Another behavior that has changed since my work with Lillian is how I manage stress. Working a desk job has it's perks when it comes to pay and benefits, however the amount of stress I was handling is what played a key part in my emotional eating, poor sleep habits and inability to feel happy in my work environment. Once I started working with Lillian, I noticed that suddenly there was less negativity in my life, more self-realization that I am capable and talented in my work and overall less stress. The benefit of less stress and negativity in my life, has allowed me to soar professionally, and has actually improved me relationships both in and outside of the work environment. A direct effect of my work with Lillian has shown through in how I feel about myself. I don't feel a black cloud hanging over my head. I don't feel like I am in an upward climb in my weight loss goals. Every week, I am becoming more certain of myself and my tools. I understand that I will always be a work in progress and that the number on the scale is not a diagnosis of my value or worth. This shift in self-appreciation has translated to success in the workplace. For the first time in years, I feel like I am being heard by my business partners. I feel like I have earned the trust of upper level management and executives. I have truly become my most professional self, and am so happy in my career, which is definitely a first! If you are ready to make a big change in your life, ready to discover your true potential, you must contact Lillian. The change in my life has only been for the positive! read more

Obsessed!!! Lillian is the most passionate and amazing instructors I have experienced ever. I have never experienced an instructor that has moved me to go to all lengths to hit up one of her classes. I have been able to experience each of her SoFit classes at StudioMix and cannot get enough of them. Beyond the amazing work-out and physical changes I experience after taking her classes, I get something that I have never felt from leaving any other class...I leave feeling SEXY AS HELL. Despite being drenched in sweat and my hair being a hot mess, I still leave with a swagger. The music and movement Lillian incorporates in her class moves you down to the core, making you feel ultra sexay!! Get your bootie in one of her classes ASAP! read more

I can not explain with words how amazing Lillian is. Her workouts are fun, spiritual and tough at the same time. We all love her so much. Once you try one of her classes, you get addicted. Seriously, THE BEST!! read more

I started working with Lillian and joined her breakthrough program in December 2020. Everything was great in my life, but I still felt like something was missing. In the first 5 mins of talking to Lillian on our first call, she was able to explain so succinctly how I was feeling at that moment. I was amazed at how well she was able to read me, make me feel heard, and helped me open up to being vulnerability. Through working with her, I have learned so much about myself that I never even thought possible. The community she has created in her containers overflows with love and makes you want to be part of it and stay engaged. I love her holistic approach in connecting everything from fitness to our inner spiritual self. She has a way of knowing everything and truly loves each person she works with. I'm not done with her 16 week program, but working with her so far has already changed my life. I would highly recommend working with Lillian! She is amazing and so good at what she does!! read more

Lillian is an incredibly talented and dedicated fitness professional, life coach, community builder and a wonderful and supportive motivating person. I have been working with Lillian for at least the past 8 years as a private client (I know she was in her 20's when we started). I have also been a semi-regular in many of her group fitness classes including her So Fluid evening programs. I can say first hand that if you are serious about bettering yourself, Lillian is the person to work with. She is very holistic in her approach; combining her knowledge of the body, with innovative body movement techniques and life coaching skills. She is very intuitive and will help you help yourself if you make the effort. She will even use psychology and astrology as part of her body and mind philosophy and teaching. I met Lillian through the Bay Club. I was working with someone else and the then general manager recommended I go to Lillian as I was rehabbing after an injury. We have been working together ever since. She also began working with my wife last year. Veronica was battling cancer. By using Lillian's movement, massage and especially her mindfulness techniques, we were able to give my wife the chance she needed to overcome the odds and me, the courage I needed to be supportive and present while we battled this terrible disease. Even though the disease was terminal in the end, Lillian was there for us every step of the way. She gave us resolve, hope, strength, fortitude and peace - exactly what we needed - even though the doctors told us that the disease was incurable. I am a tough critic and would not be recommending Lillian if I didn't believe that she is the real deal. She is! I am very grateful for all she has done for me over the years, all she did for our family when we needed her the most last year, and all she is continuing to do for me and others now. I have had the pleasure to join with several key people in her SoFit community on Tuesday nights. They are all warm, welcoming and supportive of each other and the community as a whole. They have made me feel welcome when I am able to come to class. Thank you Lillian and the SoFit Community!! read more

My first encounter with Lil was when I took a class she was teaching. As usual I felt like I wasn't doing the exercises right. I knew my movement was off, but was unsure of how, or how to correct it. Lil had exercised extreme attention to detail during the class. She has an eye for form and is great at painting a mental picture with her instructions- something that helped me immensely. I approached her for one on one sessions. I sought Lil out for help with my body & form, but she gave me so much more. She taught me the importance of mind body connectivity. She taught me to become more in tune with myself, my emotions, my body's signals and how to read them. She has a special gift for reading and understanding what her clients need. Her sessions are as therapeutic as they are entertaining and physically effective. Lil's holistic approach to heath & wellness, mind-body-spirit connectivity, and fun are unparalleled to any other instructor I've had. Its what keeps me coming back. She is an outstanding instructor who can help you achieve true growth in your practice. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! You have to experience the difference for yourself! read more

Lilian is AMAZING! Hands down best instructor I've ever had for overall strength, flexibility and hard core fitness. I've been taking her So Fit classes at the Bay Club for the last year and after only a couple of months I could see a dramatic change in my body's shape. We're talking toned, strong & better posture. She warms you up thoroughly, spikes your heart rate throughout the class and incorporates strength training...all of this to some serious beats. Try her out, you'll never look back! read more

One year later and my experience with SOfit has only gotten better. Lillian has helped me improve my body and my mind and has created a strong community that I can rely on for love, support, and laughs. Working with Lillian has been the most transformative experience of my life. I really became dedicated to my health and well-being in the beginning of 2017. I was not happy with my weight, my career, or my personal life and realized that I needed to make big changes. I knew I already had an amazing community with SOfit, but I was mainly focused on the workouts. It wasn't until I opened myself up to and started doing the "work" that real changes started happening. Because of Lillian, I have been able to change the negative narratives I had been following my entire life. I now have the tools to identify these stories and know how to work through them, or even completely turn them around. I am not as pessimistic or cynical as I was a year ago. I am physically lighter because of the group classes (I don't weigh myself, but my pants size has gone down from a 33-32 to a 30-29), but I also feel emotionally lighter. There has been a visible positive change in my attitude. People who have recently met me think that I have always been this way, but my friends who have known me longer are quick to tell them that is not true! I am doing things now that I used to tell myself I would never do. I meditate every day, I practice positive self-talk, I work out at least 3 days a week (but always aiming for 5), I meal prep every Sunday, have improved my relationships, am making moves in my career, and I am making myself a priority. Also, I can do a headstand now! I think the reason I am able to connect so well with Lillian is that she is REAL. She does not pretend to be perfect or to have everything figured out. She shares her struggles with us, and I really find that helpful and relatable. She is doing the work right alongside us. Lillian also doesn't judge your choices. I always feel free to share with her what is going on in my life. If she is concerned about something she will let me know, and also tells me why. She doesn't let me get away with any bullsh*t! If you are ready and open to transform your life, I cannot recommend working with Lillian more. read more

I love Lillian's classes. I have taken TAC and Maximum Threshold. She has infectious energy, great music and definitely keeps it interesting. Her classes are intense as you want to make them, but what I like is she is very open in allowing everyone to go at their own pace. Her classes are for beginners to the fittest of athletes, but you can't help but want to push yourself to her level. I have one really bad knee, but I can still take her classes because she coaches me through all the modifications I can make and still get an amazing, butt kicking work out. I might be staying in place while others are running or leaping, but I am still sweating and my muscles are burning. read more

Lillian is an incredible coach. I've been working with her for almost two years. In our time together, she's always been amazing about checking in with me and seeing what my goals are and helping me realize them. I've gotten stronger, healed from a few injuries, and learned to enjoy exercise again with her encouragement. She tailors her programs to meet her clients'/ students' needs and is very detail-oriented, organized, and fun. She's the best. read more
