I work with athletes from a wide range of sports including netball, tennis, kayaking, running, swimming, and triathlon. Whether you're in pre-season, mid-season, or rehabbing an injury, I'll build a programme around your sport's specific demands.
As an athlete myself, a Team GB Age-Group Triathlete and competitive runner, I understand what it takes to train hard across multiple disciplines while keeping your body strong, resilient, and ready to perform. I don't use generic gym templates. Every programme I write is built around you: your sport, your body, and your goals.
Sport-Specific Personal Training in East London
Most athletes know they should be doing strength work. Far fewer actually do it in a way that transfers to their sport. The difference between a generic gym programme and a properly designed athlete S&C plan is significant, and it shows up in your performance, your injury rate, and your longevity in sport.
Strength training for athletes isn't about getting bulky or spending hours in the gym. It's about developing the specific physical qualities your sport demands: power, speed, reactive strength, rotational control, unilateral stability, and the resilience to handle repeated high-intensity training loads week after week.
Whether you're looking to add a structured gym block in your off-season, maintain strength during a busy competition schedule, or address a recurring injury that keeps derailing your training - this is what I do.
Case Studies: Athletes I've Worked With Across Sports
Becca
(Netball)
Becca came to me having played netball for many years but never done any structured strength training. She was wanted to get stronger going into the new season and was worried about ACL injuries, which are common amongst female network players.
We spent 6 weeks building her single-leg strength and improving her landing mechanics before progressing into more explosive plyometric work. By the time pre-season started, she was stronger than she'd ever been and running faster and feeling in her words "springy".
Alice
(Tennis)
Alice came to me having played tennis for years but with no recent structured strength training. Having worked with a PT many years ago, she knew first-hand the performance difference a weekly strength session makes. and wanted to get back to that.
Her initial assessment revealed ankle instability on both sides, a tendency for knee cave in her lunge pattern, and limited upper body pushing strength. Over six weeks the progression has been consistent and measurable in her main lifts, and has progressed to single-leg step ups with added load without holding on for balance - directly targeting the knee stability and court movement she needs. Her ankle instability from the initial assessment has reduced noticeably too.
Now heading into a power-focused phase, Alice has the strength base to make plyometric and rotational work both safe and effective, building the explosive qualities that drive stronger serves and more forceful groundstrokes.
Emilis
(Running)
Emilis came to me as a runner with a history that needed careful management from the start: a previous microdiscectomy for sciatica, and movement assessment findings including limited overhead mobility, and weak glutes - a combination that's a common precursor to running injuries.
Over two blocks of 10 sessions, the progress has been excellent. His single-leg stability - one of his biggest initial weaknesses - has improved significantly, his posterior chain is considerably stronger, and the lower back has remained pain-free throughout. He now has the strength base that directly translates to better running economy, reduced injury risk, and a body resilient enough to handle consistent training load week after week.
Sophia
(Triathlon)
Sophia came in with a specific goal: she wanted to learn how to train confidently in the gym independently after completing 10 sessions with me. In sessions we covered the full toolkit: hip hinge and deadlift mechanics, single-leg strength, multi-directional lower body work, and upper body pushing and pulling. The weight progression has been significant and she is now confidently working across a range of movements she'd never attempted before. The variety has been intentional too, making sure Sophia leaves with the knowledge and confidence to follow an online programme herself.
