Scott Leahy - Performance Coach & Injury Specialist in Marylebone
Elite Coaching for Injury Recovery and Athletic Performance
Based in Marylebone, London, I'm Scott Leahy—a performance coach and injury specialist with an elite athletic background and over a decade of coaching experience. I help business professionals, athletes, and anyone recovering from injury build strength, eliminate pain, and perform at their best.
My Background
From Elite Athlete to Injury Specialist
My journey started young:
-
BMX competitor as a child
-
Professional road cyclist for 2 years in my late teens, racing across Europe
-
Weightlifter since age 14, transitioning from cycling to strength training
This experience taught me what it takes to reshape your body, recover from setbacks, and push performance limits. I've lived the challenges my clients face—whether that's chronic pain, post-injury recovery, or breaking through plateaus.
Who I Work With
60% of my clients train for injury rehabilitation:
-
Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff tears, impingement, frozen shoulder)
-
Lower back pain
-
Knee and hip pain
-
Post-surgery recovery
40% train for performance:
-
Golf, tennis, cycling, football, running
-
Strength and muscle gain
-
Athletic performance optimisation
Most clients are business owners, CEOs, and investors aged 30-70 based in Marylebone, Mayfair, Fitzrovia, and surrounding Central London areas. They value results, privacy, and evidence-based training.
Average client retention: 5+ years.
