A Practical Approach to Lifelong Fitness
Leftfield Training was born from a need to challenge the status quo: too many people struggle with ineffective programs that barely scratch the surface, and many more foregoing fitness altogether. Our approach is different—by design—and offers a more thoughtful, complete way to improve your fitness, health, and lifestyle.
The Philosophy
Principle-Driven, Not Trend-Driven:
At the core of Leftfield Training is a commitment to aligning with the fundamental principles of how your body and mind actually work. Unlike mainstream fitness programs that start with the latest fad, we start with timeless, evidence-based truths. From there, we build practices that address your unique situation, leading to outcomes that truly last.A Holistic Fitness Practice:
We don’t just train your body; we help you cultivate a balanced fitness practice that integrates training, nutrition, sleep, mindset, and other vital aspects of daily life. This comprehensive approach helps you adapt, improve, and maintain results without sacrificing your well-being.More than Fitness – It's a Lifestyle Shift:
We’re not about crash diets or endless workouts. Our aim is to guide you toward a lifestyle shift that makes fitness, health, and well-being a seamless part of your everyday routine. You’ll learn how to make informed decisions, adapt to change, and ultimately, take control of your fitness practice for life.In an industry where businesses come and go, Leftfield has stood the test of time. Since 2010, we’ve helped countless clients break free from the fitness rat race and build practices they can rely on for life. You'll experience freedom from the endless cycle of restrictive diets, gruelling workouts, and temporary fixes because our focus has always been on what truly works—and empowering you to take control.
“Leftfield Training has changed my perception of exercise! I wasn’t getting the results I wanted at the gym and was finding it hard to stay motivated. Since I have been training with Leftfield I not only have motivation for my training but motivation for life. I’ve never seen results in myself that I’m seeing today!”
“I was particularly impressed with intertwining physical fitness, mental strength and productivity – creating a skeleton of habits and activities that supported everything else in my life. My fitness, physique, mood and productivity have all improved because of things I continue to this day.”
“I started about 4 months post-partum so had some ‘baby weight’ to lose. My aim was to return to my pre-pregnancy size and weight and I achieved that as well as some improved body definition. One of the best things was noticing greater muscle definition in my arms and legs than I’d ever had before. I also used to struggle to sit on my knees due to an old injury and was delighted to realise one day that in fact I’d been able to comfortably sit on my knees for a while (thankyou squats). These are little improvements of themselves but they contributed greatly to my sense of achievement and motivation to continue.”
“Having recently turned 49 and working in an executive position, developing a sustainable work/life balance has become increasingly important to me, but when I heard about the Leftfield Training program, I initially thought, ‘nutrition’, that just means dieting. My expectations were clearly proven wrong! I’ve achieved my goals, but, most importantly, I know it’s sustainable as it has provided me with the tools to maintain a holistic approach to nutrition, physical health and mental wellbeing. I have to say it’s one of the best investments I’ve made in myself”
Meet Your Coach
I’m Oli, the founder of Leftfield Training and a trainer with over 14 years of coaching experience. I enjoy guiding people to the realisation that fitness and good nutrition are the natural extension of an increased awareness of, and connection to, our bodies. An outcome that more mainstream practices make increasingly difficult.
I came to the fitness world via a life-changing injury and my subsequent search for treatment for chronic pain. I specialise in callisthenics (bodyweight exercise), corrective exercise, kettlebells, nutrition coaching and the keystone to all of it, behaviour change.
Outside coaching, I enjoy jujutsu, acting, reading, cooking and DJing. Fitness should be something that enhances your life, and I’m here to help you find what works best for you.
How It Works
Understand & Align
We start with a conversation. Before any program begins, we dive deep to understand your goals, challenges, and current habits. This way, we can recommend the best strategies rather than pushing generic programs that don’t fit.Choose Your Fit: A premium 1:1 mobile service, outdoor group sessions, online— or any combination— you decide how you want to engage with your fitness journey.
Build Your Practice
Together, we develop a fitness practice incorporating training, nutrition, recovery, mindset, and more. Not a rigid plan but a routine that fits around your life, ensuring it’s realistic, enjoyable, and sustainable.Learn, Adjust, Repeat
Fitness isn’t static. As you progress, your needs and goals will change, and we adjust the plan to keep things aligned. Our holistic approach means ongoing support and education, helping you grow into a stronger, healthier version of yourself over time.
Your First Step
Clarity Before Solutions Modern fitness often jumps to solutions before clearly defining the problem and right at the outset this is where many people get stuck. These are typically solutions for the business NOT you the customer so at Leftfield it all begins with a conversation—not a sales pitch. Sales pressure is not something I appreciate —or respond favourably to— so I don't subject others to it either. It's also the standard fitness industry playbook in yet one more way that Leftfield is not. You’ll walk away with clarity on the best next step for you, whether you choose to further explore Leftfield Training or not.
THE PROMISE IS NOT THAT YOU’LL GET FIT — AND OF COURSE YOU WILL — BUT THAT YOU’LL NEVER BE UNFIT AGAIN
