Preparing for a Marathon
“I’ve been working with Leah for over two years and couldn’t speak more highly of her. I find her very knowledgeable, professional and down-to-earth at the same time. Nothing is ever too much for her.
Since lockdown my training continued online and I found the app well thought out and easy to use. I especially like the video feature and ability to send messages after sessions.”
Preparing for a Biathlon
“Leah is the ultimate coach. Deeply knowledgeable, motivating, and a pleasure to work with. Training is perfectly tailored to my specific needs and the ability to work together in person or online (as I’m now doing) has made it easy to track performance and stay consistent.
Most importantly, I’ve seen huge improvements in my sports performance and overall wellbeing! Having worked with many coaches and spent a long time researching the best options, I feel lucky to have found Leah.”
Preparing for a Triathlon
“I have been working with Leah for a number of years now, she knows how to keep both body and brain in check and running like a smooth engine. Her workouts, planning and attention to detail are second to none. Since lockdown the app has come into its own, kept me both strong and sane – it’s incredibly handy and useful and so good being able to track progress and view online content.
Without being in a gym it can be very tough to motivate yourself to workout from home, but the guided app and interesting and varied exercises from Leah make it all that much easier. Your body is the one asset you have for life so invest in it wisely with someone as knowledgeable and caring as Leah! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

We recommend that all new clients start with a 90 minute initial consultation. This is an opportunity for us to catch up one to one either in person or via Skype/Facetime and talk through your goals, medical history, lifestyle, current and previous training history. There will be a short practical element in which we will review fundamental movement patterns, assess strength and capacity and set key metrics to work towards. We then have all the information to go away and write a programme specifically designed for you and your current level of training.
We are also happy to arrange a free 30 minute consultation over the phone if you’re unsure if online training is for you or want to ask any specific questions.
Yes. We recommend using your booking your first review session in as soon as you can once you’ve had your screening. We’ll use this initial session to run through your programme and make sure you are technically confident with all the exercises in your plan.
Following your initial assessment, we will design your personalised plan from scratch and send it out to you within three to five days. The programme will be set out in 4-6 weeks training phases and will clearly map out your training sessions and exercises with clear videos and instructions to guide you through.
