Runs Vicky Park 4× a week
The half-marathoner

Personal Trainer near Victoria Park (E9 / E3)
If your weekends are Vicky Park runs, your evenings are walks round the boating lake, and you want a coach who understands both — the gym is genuinely walkable from the north side of the park. We can fit your strength work around your running, cycling and outdoor life instead of against it.

Who I train in Victoria Park
Built for the people who actually live in Victoria Park.
From the north entrance at Crown Gate North or Cadogan Terrace, you're 12 minutes on foot to the gym. We're right between the park and Homerton station — handy if you want to run a lap and finish at the squat rack.

What working with me looks like
How Victoria Park clients actually train.
Most Victoria Park clients are already active — that's the easy bit. What they're missing is structure. They run, they cycle, they do the odd class, but they've never followed a progressive strength programme. When we add 2 well-built sessions a week, the change is dramatic: pace improves, hills feel flatter, injuries disappear. Cardio without strength has a ceiling. Strength is how you break through it.
Sessions run at énergie Fitness Homerton (Unit 2, 68–82 Digby Road, London E9 6HX) — a fully kitted private gym with everything we need for serious 1-to-1 training.

The weekend cyclist
Chronic knee niggles every winter. We built up glute and quad strength systematically over 12 weeks. Hasn't taken a week off the bike since.
FAQs
Personal training in Victoria Park — your questions.
Can you build the programme around my running?+
Absolutely — that's most of what I do for Victoria Park clients. We schedule heavy strength on non-long-run days, and the programme is built to support your running, not destroy your legs the day before a session.
What if I want to keep doing my own classes / running?+
Encouraged. The 1-to-1 sessions are the structural backbone — everything else fits around it. We're not trying to replace your routine; we're adding the missing piece.
Is the gym easy to reach from Vicky Park?+
From the north gates: about 12 minutes on foot, 5 by bike. From the south side, hop the Overground from Hackney Wick to Homerton, or cycle through Wick Road.
