Personal Trainer in Leeds
A private, 1-2-1 studio in LS17 that people travel to from right across Leeds — plus online coaching for anyone the journey doesn't suit. 12× award-winning training and nutrition, no big-box gym in sight.
Leeds has no shortage of gyms. What it has far less of is somewhere private, where the only two people training are you and your coach — which is exactly why clients make the trip from all over the city to a studio that, on a map, looks like it's out of the way.
My name is Pete Gawtry. I'm a 12× award-winning personal trainer — 4× Personal Trainer of the Year — and I coach 1-2-1 from a private studio on Tarn Lane, LS17, on the north side of the city. It's not in the centre, and that's the point: it's quiet, it's fully equipped, and when you're in it, it's yours.
Why People Travel Across Leeds For This Studio
No crowd, no compromise
A commercial gym membership is convenient right up until you need a rack that's free, a coach who's actually watching you, or a room that isn't full of strangers. This studio only ever has one client in it — you.
One coach, start to finish
You're not handed between whoever's on shift. Every session, every programme review and every nutrition tweak comes from me directly, for as long as you train with me.
Easy to reach off the ring road
LS17 sits just off the outer ring road on the north side of Leeds, so whether you're coming from the city centre, the south or the west, it's a straightforward run in against the rush-hour traffic, not through it.
Online, if the journey doesn't suit
Not everyone in Leeds wants to drive across the city for a session. My online coaching gives you the same programming, the same nutrition plan and the same accountability, without leaving home.
Inside the Studio
This is the actual room clients from across Leeds train in — not a stock photo of somebody else's gym. Racks, bars, a full dumbbell range, resistance machines, cables and conditioning kit, all in a private space where the only two people in the building are you and me.
1-2-1 Training & Online Coaching
Leeds clients work with me in whichever way actually fits their week:
- 1-2-1 at the private LS17 studio — just you and me, off the north side of the ring road. No queueing for kit, no being watched, no membership crowd. Every session is built around your body, your goals and your schedule, with strength training at the core.
- Online coaching — if you're based south or west of the city, work long hours, or simply prefer to train at home or your own gym, my online personal trainer programmes give you the same structured plan, nutrition guidance and accountability, delivered remotely.
Why Train With Pete
Leeds has plenty of personal trainers. Here's what clients say is different about training with me:
- 12× UK award-winning — recognised at a national level, not a self-appointed "expert".
- 500+ transformations — hundreds of Leeds clients coached to results that lasted, not a quick before-and-after.
- Strength-first — building real, functional strength is the engine of fat loss, posture, confidence and long-term health. No endless cardio for its own sake.
- No fads, ever — no detox teas, no punishment, no nonsense. Just evidence-based training and nutrition that fits your life.
Who It's For
Clients come from every part of Leeds, not just the north side: professionals who want an efficient, no-faff hour away from the office; parents getting their strength and energy back; people over 40 who want to stay mobile and strong; complete beginners who feel out of place in a normal gym; and experienced lifters who want proper, individual programming. If the journey across the city is what's stopped you before, that's exactly what online coaching solves.
Real People, Real Results

Leeds FAQ
Where in Leeds is the studio?
Suite 1, Arena Business Park, Tarn Lane, Leeds, LS17 9BF — on the north side of the city, just off the outer ring road.
I don't live in North Leeds — is it still worth the journey?
Most clients decide that for themselves at a free consultation: you'll see the studio, meet me, and can judge honestly whether the drive works for your week. If it doesn't, online coaching gets you the same programme without it.
Which parts of Leeds do you cover?
1-2-1 clients train in person from right across the city; North Leeds suburbs like Alwoodley, Moortown and Roundhay are closest and have their own local pages — see the North Leeds overview. Online coaching covers the rest of Leeds and beyond.
Is the studio private or a busy commercial gym?
It's a fully private 1-2-1 studio. When you train, it's just you and me — no crowds, no waiting for equipment and no being watched.
Can I train online if I'm not close to Leeds LS17?
Yes. Online coaching is a full programme in its own right — training plan, nutrition guidance and check-ins — not a lesser version of the in-person service.
