Personal Training Services in Islington
My coaching is built around the realities of life. Whether you are completely new to the gym, want support that works with your lifestyle, or want a more tailored strength training approach, these are the main ways I work with clients.
Strength Training for Beginners
If you're new to resistance training, learning good technique from the start is essential. My goal is to make you comfortable enough to go to the gym on your own and know exactly what you're doing. We focus on learning correct exercise form, developing full-body strength, and creating structured workout habits.
Strength Training for Women
If you are a woman, strength training is one of the best thing you can do for your long-term health. Resistance training is highly effective at improving bone density, and supporting you to be independent in day-to-day life.
Strength Training for Busy Professionals
When work is demanding, training needs to come with planned flexibility. I have worked in director-level roles in tech alongside training for years, and have come up with strategies to prioritise consistency while flexing around travel and busy periods.
Strength Training for Neurodivergent Adults
If you are neurodivergent or simply have a busy brain, periods of high and low energy come as given. My coaching focuses on the fundamentals, including exercise cues delivered in simple language and building habits that cater to your brain.
What to expect from Me
Every client follows a personalised approach to training with a clear progression model, adapted to their life and time constraints.
Here's what that includes:
- Personalised programme based on your starting point
- Focus on consistency vs changing your life overnight
- Learn proper technique so you can progress safely
- Scale your training up or down based on your schedule
- Focus on learning new skills vs working out as punishment
Sessions take place at AXIOM, a calm private gym environment on Lever Street where we can finish sessions at pace without waiting for machines or racks.

Start With the Right Plan
Coaching needs to be flexible or it won't last. You can choose the level of support that works for you:
Structured approach to resistance training with progression tracking and ongoing adjustments. Best for consistent accountability.
Guided progression every fortnight. Ideal for those who train independently between sessions and want structured check-ins.
Train alongside a friend or partner. Personalised coaching for each person within the same structured session.
Up to 4 people training together with the same plan, personalised coaching cues and technique correction for each individual.
Each plan follows a structured approach to resistance training with progression tracking and ongoing adjustments. If you need something more specific or want to train more frequently, we can build a custom plan around your schedule.
What We Can Achieve Together
Measure Your Progress in Real Moments
All of a sudden, you're not worried that carrying the shopping is too much. You can lift up a heavy object with confidence. The real-life carry over of being strong cannot be beaten.
Make Training a Long-Term Investment in Yourself
My habit-building approach helps you develop consistency one habit at a time. We will not drastically change your life overnight which often results in burnout and yo-yo effects.
Fix Poor Technique That's Holding You Back
Small adjustments in form can make a big difference and overcome injuries and plateaus. You learn how to lift properly so exercises feel safer and stronger.
Show Up as You Are
If something doesn't feel right or you have any illness, pain or simply going through a high-stress period, your training is adjusted. You keep training without making things worse.
