SPECIALISED – PROFESSIONAL – PRIVATE

A team of specialists to help you improve your running and avoid sports injuries

Personal Training for Runners

For many of us, running isn't just about fitness – getting out onto the streets, parks, or trails can be a cornerstone of your day that everything else is built around. The trouble is, the high-impact nature of running means injury risk is real – and running alone often isn't enough to prepare your body or reach peak running performance.

At Fitness Lab, your personal training sessions will focus on making you a better and more resilient runner. Your qualified personal trainer will guide you through personalised strength training program designed specifically with your kind of running and injury prevention in mind.

If you book a consultation today, you'll work with one of our specialist personal trainers to understand your unique physique – and where you'd like to take your running. Whether you're training for an event or just trying to iron-out a few niggles, we're the team you need at your side.

Avoiding common running and sports injuries

Although you'll no doubt have your smartphone and fitness tracker along for the ride, running is a sport that most people start themselves with no professional sport coaching or training plan. While this makes for beautiful simplicity, it also means it's difficult to fully understand how your body is developing.

With no formal running or strength and conditioning training plans, injuries can creep up on you. Common running injuries include runner's knee (patellofemoral syndrome), achilles tendonitis, shin splint, IT band syndrome, hamstring injuries, lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, ankle sprain.

At Fitness Lab, the certified personal trainer who takes your consultation will perform a detailed body composition analysis using our state-of-the-art Tanita equipment. This, along with a detailed discussion about your current performance, injuries and issues, and the training you do alongside your running, will help us put together a dedicated personal training that will improve your running form, running pace, and stride efficiency.

Working with you and your running style

Opening your training up to feedback and critique can feel a little intimidating – after all, running's potentially something you've been doing for years, so the idea of adding weight training or specific exercises might feel out of the ordinary.

Don't panic though – we're not the kind of coaches who have an off-the-peg way of working. At Fitness Lab, coaching is completely personalised – we don't expect you to completely re-think the way you run.

Your free initial consultation is about getting to know you, your lifestyle – and how running fits in. We'll even explore nutrition and rest – so we can put together personal training programme that'll take you where you want to go.

Using exercise science to improve your running

There are plenty of personal trainers with running knowledge here in London – but few have the depth of team qualifications and experience we have here at Fitness Lab. As well expert coaches, we work closely with an experienced physiotherapist with a specialist interest in running and running-related injuries.

We bring a fusion of expertise that transcends traditional running coaching. Our team includes certified strength coaches, personal trainers, Pilates experts, and a running-focused muscularskeletal therapy partner. We beleive that runners, irrespective of their ability, deserve access to an elite level of support.

Working with you and your running style

Strength Training for Runners: Get stronger and Faster

Sometimes, running coaching isn't about historic injuries or fine-tuning your form – it's just about having a team that will push you to be faster, better, and stronger.

If motivation and drive is what you're looking for from a personal training coach, you're in exactly the right place. Whether the hurdles you're facing are mental or physical ones, we'll help you push harder than you've ever thought was possible. And don't worry – even if you can't make it to the studio, our online coaching will mean we can be by your side wherever you are or wherever your run takes you.

  Radomira is a great coach. Highly motivating, fun, excellent listener, sessions with her are never boring. She know how to push people out of the comfort zone without forcing them. Rare quality for a coach.
The studio itself is optimally located at the heat of Soho and is very well equipped. The concept of a coach-only gym is not common and probably the best option for anyone who take their fitness seriously.

  I have been with Fitness Lab for 2 years it has been a gradual transition to strength and fitness working with my excellent trainer Ash. It isn’t a quick fix to weight loss but a longer term investment in being a stronger me. With the individual focus I just don’t have to think about having to motivate myself, or worry about whether I am using the weights correctly, Ash takes care of that and gradually pushes me to push myself.

  I chose Fitness Lab because the idea of a gym with a more intimate atmosphere, free from overwhelming crowds was very appealing to me. Originally, I planned to join for just a couple of months to get ready for summer, but here I am in November, still committed! The primary reason for that is my PT Radomira, who creates a customised program that suits my individual goals, always motivates me without pushing too hard and makes each session enjoyable and uplifting. I can actually see the progress and am very happy that I ended up choosing this gym.

  I would absolutely recommend Fitness Lab to anyone who is looking get the best PT experience in London.

It really helps to be working out in a private space rather than in a public gym and the facilities and equipment are all first-rate and well-maintained.

I have to give a huge thank you to my PT, Ash, who has turbo-charged my training. He has put the time, effort and his knowledge into tailoring my workouts to achieve my goals. I don't  feel like I'm aimlessly working out or unsure of whether I'm doing the right thing or not anymore and the results have been fantastic. I'm improving in areas that I have always struggled with and it just makes me even more motivated. Ash always brings the right vibe so that I look forward to each session rather than it feeling like a chore. He keeps the workouts varied to make things interesting and if there is ever something I can't do because of injury then he is able to adapt when necessary.

The whole experience at Fitness Lab has been fantastic.

  The private personal training here helped me gain control of complicated back issues and get back to playing rugby for the first time in years! My PT was so focused on specifics for my situation and the results speak for themselves. They are so well located for a lunchtime session from work. In my opinion the best personal training studio in Soho!
