Personal Trainer Soho | The Marylebone PT
Premium Personal Training in Soho
Soho's fast-paced environment demands a training approach that fits your lifestyle. Whether you work in film, advertising, hospitality, or entertainment, long hours and unpredictable schedules make consistency difficult. Add desk work, stress, and limited recovery time, and you face a perfect storm for injury and burnout.
Scott Leahy provides one-to-one personal training from a private studio on Little Portland Street, minutes from Soho's heart. No group classes. No waiting for equipment. Just focused, results-driven coaching tailored to your body, goals, and schedule.
Services for Soho Clients
Movement Assessment
Scott starts every client relationship with a comprehensive Functional Movement Screen. This 60-minute assessment tests seven fundamental movement patterns, revealing limitations, asymmetries, and injury risks that affect performance and daily life.
Most Soho clients show movement dysfunction from desk work: restricted hip mobility, poor squat mechanics, shoulder tightness, and weak core stability. The assessment costs £150 and includes a detailed report with FMS scores, movement analysis, and a personalised training plan.
This data guides every session. You don't train blind. You train with precision, addressing your specific weaknesses and building on your strengths.
Velocity Based Testing
Scott uses Output Sports VBT sensors to measure joint range of motion, limb speed, and strength readiness. This technology tracks angular velocity, power output, and movement quality in real time, providing objective data on your physical capacity.
VBT testing identifies imbalances between limbs, weak links in movement chains, and baseline metrics for progress tracking. Soho clients often discover hidden restrictions or strength deficits that explain chronic pain, performance plateaus, or recurring injuries.
Testing is included in your initial assessment or available as a standalone service. Results inform exercise selection, load progression, and injury prevention strategies throughout your training.
Velocity Based Training
Every training session uses VBT sensors to monitor bar speed, power output, and fatigue levels. Scott adjusts load and volume in real time based on your nervous system readiness. This autoregulated approach maximises results and minimises injury risk.
You see immediate feedback on every rep. No guessing. No grinding through fatigue. Just intelligent, data-driven training that adapts to how you feel each session. Soho clients appreciate the precision—it delivers consistent progress without burnout.
VBT coaching is included in all one-to-one sessions. You track progress week to week, see strength gains in real time, and train with confidence.
Injury and Rehabilitation Training
60% of Scott's clients come for injury rehab. Lower back pain, knee issues, hip discomfort, and shoulder injuries are common among Soho's workforce. Scott works with clients pre- and post-surgery, addressing chronic pain and movement dysfunction with evidence-based protocols.
Training focuses on restoring pain-free movement, rebuilding strength, and preventing re-injury. Scott uses FMS and VBT data to track recovery, ensuring you progress safely. Clients typically see significant improvements in movement quality and pain levels within 12 weeks—some as early as 2–4 weeks.
Scott holds certifications in Functional Movement Screen, Functional Range Conditioning, and Posture & Movement. He reviews the latest musculoskeletal research regularly to deliver cutting-edge rehab strategies.
One-to-One Personal Training
Scott offers private coaching sessions Monday to Friday, 7am–3pm. Each session is 60 minutes and costs £150. You train alone in a fully equipped studio with Scott's complete focus.
Sessions include strength training, mobility work, sport-specific conditioning, and injury prevention. Scott tailors every programme to your goals: golf performance, cycling power, running endurance, or general fitness.
