A PRIVATE PERSONAL TRAINING STUDIO BETWEEN PECKHAM NUNHEAD AND EAST DULWICH
TYPES OF STRENGTH TRAINING AT THE SHED + THE BENEFITS FOR YOU
-
Powerlifting is a strength sport where you aim to lift the maximum weight possible in three exercises: the squat, bench press, and deadlift.
Whilst focused on this target the benefits of powerlifting training are vast. As well as increased overall strength, you'll see improved muscle mass, enhanced bone density, and better body composition.
Along with detailed technique work I'll teach you to push yourself harder than you ever thought possible. You will learn how to never give up on a lift as if your life depends on it!

Olympic weightlifting involves performing two explosive lifts—the snatch and the clean and jerk for the maximum weight possible.
Olympic lifting training benefits include improved full-body strength, power, and speed, as well as enhanced coordination, flexibility, and balance.
More explosive and dynamic than powerlifting, these lifts help develop explosive athleticism, which translates well into other sports and daily life.
Olympic lifting is an extremely satisfying challenge as you master complex techniques and progressively lift heavier, seeing your hard work pay off. It requires a lot of mental focus and discipline to keep technique on point but the rewards are worth every second. If you enjoy a blend of strength, agility, precision, and generally throwing heavy weights around, Oly lifting is for you!

Functional strength training focuses on exercises that mimic real-life movements to enhance everyday physical capabilities and generally make you physically better at life.
This type of training is a hybrid of styles and includes elements of Powerlifting, Olympic lifting and many others.
Beyond building strength and endurance, my programs also prioritise mobility, balance, and coordination to help you become a more well-rounded athlete.
As we train you to move more efficiently and powerfully, you'll feel stronger and more confident in your day to day. Whether it's carrying your shopping, playing with your kids, or getting stronger for other sports.
If you're looking for a practical, dynamic, and effective way to get fit for whatever life throws at you, functional strength training is a very versatile and rewarding approach.

Yoga and mobility work has always underpinned my own training. I'm a huge advocate for incorporating it into your routine whether you train for strength or not.
Yoga as a stand alone practice is brilliant for the mind and body. It also enhances strength training by improving flexibility, mobility, and balance which leads to better lifting form, faster recovery, and reduced injury risk.
It also promotes mental focus and relaxation, making it a powerful complement to optimise your strength gains and overall well-being.
I am a qualified yoga teacher and offer 1:1 and small group yoga sessions at the Shed. There will almost always be some version of mobility work in each session I offer.
GET STRONG, GET SUPPLE
The Strength Shed is a strength training space, for those who are serious about learning new skills, refining their technique and getting strong in a more private setting.
From humble beginnings as a gazebo keeping us dry during winter lockdowns, I realised how client progress and focus was improved away from the distractions of a busy gym.
The Strength Shed has since evolved into a heated private personal training studio, equipped with a wide selection of functional strength equipment for all your strength training needs. Lovingly overlooked by our mascot Judi Hench.
“I’d previously found a lot of gyms fixated on diet culture and thinness which was the opposite of what I was after, so his passion for functional strength as a way of achieving overall health and wellbeing is really inspiring. The Shed is well equipped with the added bonus of a garden view (complete with vegetable patch) - much better than a big indoor gym in my view!”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

What to say about Leo and his mighty shed. It's fair to say he was an excellent trainer already without the shed, but having this private little PT studio has been awesome for progress.
The shed is super well kitted out, ready for indoor or outdoor workouts. Straight cardio is covered by a SkiErg (my personal nemesis) and everything else comes out of the brain of the man himself.
I've been training with Leo since COVID kicked off and I've never been stronger, or more confident in my body's ability to do what I ask of it.
If you're looking for a good laugh, good programs and an all-round good bloke, Leo is your man -

Leo listens carefully to your goals and builds workout plans that help you achieve them. In the gym he constantly tests your ability and adapts both the weight and the exercise to ensure the programming is fresh, interesting and results based. Leo records everything to ensure progress is charted and sessions are optimum and he regularly checks in and requests feedback to ensure you and he have the right focus and maximise your session time.
The Strength Shed is a well equipped zen-like space to focus on your workout. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are also some cracking tunes.
Leo manages to make the whole process fun and relaxing, even when he is pushing you (which he does with undivided attention all the time).
And finally, which other PT out there offers your freshly picked strawberries from the garden while you workout! 1 million percent recommend.
