Meet Pete Gawtry

Pete has spent over a decade transforming bodies across Leeds and Yorkshire. Four times named the UK's Best PT, twelve industry awards in five years. And he's still in the studio coaching every day.

His approach is simple. There are no fads and nothing off a shelf. Every session and every meal plan is built around you: your body, your goals, your life. Whether you want to lose weight, get strong, or change the lot, he'll get you there.

How It Works

Getting Started Is Simple

We sit down, in the studio or on a call, and get clear on your goals, your history and what's held you back. You won't get a hard sell.

Your Bespoke Plan

Pete builds your training and food around your body, your level and your life. Everything laid out clearly, ready for day one.

03

Train & Transform

Progressive sessions, food you enjoy, and a weekly check-in that keeps you moving, with Pete in your corner the whole way.

I started in April as a keen runner who avoided strength work, with a dodgy knee. Five months on my strength is unrecognisable and I'm back running half marathons.

Pete has changed my life! I'm down 2 stone and counting, 16 weeks in. He gave me the discipline and accountability I needed — completely non-judgemental.

I've had good PTs before — pushed me hard, got results. Take all of those, times them by 10, and you're still well short of the mighty Pete Gawtry.

An expert trainer — knowledgeable and professional. Pete makes sessions fun and challenging. I'm in my third year with him and intend to stay forever!

Pete is the key you're looking for if you want real change! I needed help to get to the next level and someone serious about the job. Best shape of my life.

After 15 years in the gym not getting results, I booked a 12-week plan with Pete for weight loss and toning up. I never expected the results we achieved.

Personal Training in Leeds — FAQs

69 — and not one below five stars: 34 on Google, 32 on Facebook and 3 on Bark, every review counted once and verified in August 2026. See the full breakdown on the reviews page.
Award winning for Weight Loss and Fitness
Pete Gawtry is a Leeds-based, award-winning personal trainer and nutritionist specialising in weight loss and body transformation. He's four times been named the UK's Best PT with 500+ documented transformations, voted Best Personalised Weight Loss & Fitness Coach Yorkshire 2025, and trains clients 1-to-1 at his private Leeds studio (LS17) as well as online.
How much are sessions with Pete in Leeds?
12-week transformation packages start at £60 per session for 1 session a week (£720 total). The most popular option is 2 sessions a week at £120 per week (£1,440), and 3 sessions a week is £180 per week (£2,160). Every package includes a bespoke training plan, personalised nutrition plan, progress tracking and direct WhatsApp support.
Do you offer online personal training and coaching?
Yes. Pete coaches clients online anywhere in the world with bespoke training plans, personalised nutrition and regular check-ins. It's ideal if you can't get to the Leeds studio in person.
Do you provide meal plans?
Yes. Every coaching client receives a bespoke meal plan built around their goals, food preferences and lifestyle. Standalone personalised meal plans are also available from £80.
Where is Pete Gawtry's personal training studio?
Pete trains clients 1-to-1 at a private studio in Leeds, LS17 9BF, serving Leeds and the surrounding areas including Scarcroft, Wetherby, Harrogate, Roundhay and Alwoodley.
Why is strength training so important, even for weight loss?
Strength training is now recognised as the single biggest lever for long-term health and longevity. Building and keeping muscle improves your metabolism, protects your bones and joints, balances blood sugar, sharpens the mind and helps you stay strong and independent for decades, and it reshapes your body far more effectively than endless cardio. That's why every Pete Gawtry Fitness plan is strength-first, with the right amount of conditioning and mobility built around it for your goal, age and starting point.
