The Body School - London

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Lenny for the last 8 months, his holistic approach has been refreshing and revelatory. I came in with some general niggles and he managed to get to the root of my problems through physical tests and getting to know me and my history. He is rehabilitating my ankle from an injury I sustained over 10 years ago, that wasn't sorted through physio or hospital visits. Lenny is keen not only to find and sort out existing issues, but ensure that your body is working well and to provide physical longevity and health. His adaptive way of working means that his practice helps body and mind, it has been invaluable. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely thrilled with the progress I've made over the past months with Lenny! His expertise and guidance have significantly improved my posture and alleviated my back pain, making this a fantastic investment of my time and money. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking to enhance their well-being.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Lenny for about two years now, and it has really been a game-changer for me. When I started, I had uneven posture, alignment issues, and recurring minor pains, including sciatica and daily lower back pain. As a regular runner, I thought I was strong and capable, but Lenny quickly showed me that I was compensating in certain strength moves, doing them incorrectly (sometimes muscling my way through them but with the wrong muscles), and not getting the full benefit. If only I had this kind of training 10 years ago! In my time training with Lenny, he’s taken the time to understand my lifestyle, goals, and constraints, and always meet me where I’m at. I’ve improved my mile time (dropped by over a minte) and haven’t had lower back pain since working with him. He genuinely cares about my success and has made a huge difference in my physical health. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Lenny has been an exceptionally pragmatic and detailed-orientated coach. I’ve struggled with back pain for many years and his vast knowledge and empirical approach have helped massively. Highly, highly reccomend.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Lenny for a few years. He helped with hip pain I had been experiencing for a number of years, that physio, acupuncture, and a number of other treatments hadn’t helped. Lenny also helped me during pregnancy and postpartum to connect better with my body and recover. I feel stronger and much better in my body since working with Lenny. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Lenny is the consummate professional. I've been working with him one on one for a couple of years now to work through running and yoga injuries, post partum recovery and building my strength. In particular, the PRI work we have done together has transformed my ability to move my body pain free. He has an incredible attention to detail, deep experience, and easy manner. An absolute gem. Does actually make you exercise though.

Fantastic experience: Joining The Body School and working 1 on 1 with Lenny has literally been life changing. I’ve suffered (for over 20 years) with various niggles and pain as a result of my training and exercise and I could never get to the bottom of it despite trying so many things and seeing so many body work therapists. Initially I joined The Body School and after just a few months of doing the weekly online classes my body was starting to feel different. I started to feel more ease in my joints, my posture changed and as I walked, moved and worked out my body just felt so much better and the pain and niggles had drastically reduced. I then knew it was time to re-evaluate the way I was training/exercising and ensure it was only in favour of health and longevity and supportive of MY body and posture. At 43 I want to make sure I’m training FOR my body and health not against it. So I started working with Lenny 1 on 1 for a personalised strength training programme which also includes daily postural restoration (breathing) exercises. All of this combined has literally changed my life and I’m so so thankful I found it. I’ll never look back!

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend the Body School highly enough! I first started working with them in-person to help address persistent back pain, which many physios, a chiropractor, pilates classes and yoga hadn’t helped with. In the time we’ve been working together my pain symptoms have decreased, I feel stronger, have better posture, and move better. I love the Body School’s approach because it’s really targeted to my specific issues and combines lots of practical exercises and techniques. The breath work (PRI work – Google it!) has been a revelation. So I went in expecting pain relief like a physio would provide (which it delivered on), but now I treat it as a core part of my all around fitness training. Lenny is a brilliant coach and all around top guy. I have access to a wealth of content and videos on the online platform, and 100% personalised training plans on an app which I can take to the gym with me or do at home – very helpful for keeping motivated. Cheers Lenny!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Lenny for a few months now focusing on an old injury to my lower back. He's been brilliant. I'm already able to for 20+ minutes consistently - something I haven't done in about 8 years. I'm gaining strength and stability whilst also building a really comprehensive understanding of how my works. I've even started Salsa recently! Long story short, I recommend the Body School wholeheartedly - they've enabled me to start regaining a sense of confidence and enjoyment in my body.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lenny for 3 years - I had rolled both ankles and hurt my toe, so couldn’t run properly, and I had debilitating shoulder and neck pain. I am now 3 years mostly pain free, I am mucb more attuned to my body and I am stronger than I ever was. Lenny has been nothing but encouraging throughout and we actually train remote too. And the PRI (postural restoration work) he does is cutting edge and really hard to come by in Europe. And, he really cares about his clients. Absolute a gem of a rockstar!

Fantastic experience: Before finding The Body School, I had tried multiple doctors and physical therapists to address my pain and movement issues, but none of them were effective. Lenny is the first one to connect the dots on things that I thought were all separate issues. I left the studio after the first day feeling better and optimistic. I don't usually write reviews but I've been telling everyone in London about Lenny so I figured I should do the same here. Lenny is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, making sure to customize my training to suit my unique needs and preferences. He introduced me to the world of PRI (Postural Respiration Institute) techniques, which are strange at first and challenging to master, but have made a significant difference in my overall health and well-being. Once we got through some of the initial PRI breathing exercises, Lenny integrated the PRI techniques into a comprehensive training program that continues to improve my posture while improving my cardio and building muscle and strength. Working with Lenny has not only improved my physical health but also boosted my confidence and mental well-being. His unwavering support and guidance have been instrumental in my progress. I cannot recommend The Body School and Lenny highly enough to anyone looking for a training program to reduce pain, improve posture, build strength, and just improve your overall well-being.

Fantastic experience: Working with Matt has had a hugely positive impact for me. Having suffered with back pain and occasional spasms for a long time, I’ve been able to rebuild the strength and mobility needed to get training and running regularly again, and get on with life without the odd interlude laid flat on a hard floor. The work we did has become a solid part of my routine, I’d certainly recommend Matt.

Fantastic experience: Im a fellow Frc trainer myself and finding the bodyschool membership has really helped my confidence in teaching and applying the principles to my own training. Amazing knowledgeable trainers and I love the platform, lots of education and highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say that The Body School has helped me achieve my goals and I could not be happier. I train Strongman and as such mobility is not the first port of call when it comes to gym activities, I used to suffer from tight ankles and my hips were always tight and painful. But since training with The Body School I have been able to improve my ankle flection a great deal and my hip flexors are so supple, I actually look forward to doing frog pose and it always surprises me how much hip rotation I have. I also love the live in person classes with Lenny, they are designed for everyone of all capabilities and it's a safe and friendly environment for all. But the thing I love the most is the on demand videos you get access to when you join. The platform has high quality and professional videos where you can select a body part, time based or a series based session. With a huge selection of videos you can always find something that will help those aches and pains. Plus Ailish and Lenny are really nice people and always have time to help you. See you online or live in class

Fantastic experience: Lenny was kind, professional and an expert in body movement - really enjoyed the sessions at the body school.

Fantastic experience: These guys are the bridge between Personal Training and Physiotherapy. Think your every day person struggling with niggles from previous injuries as a kid, adapted ways of living into being an adult, and just “getting by” and managing it just by dealing with it because you’ve had this pain most of your life. Lenny and Ailish have opened my eyes to a whole new, and very accessible way of training, to better your body and allow your body to be used the way you want to use it. Every body is different, and not one size fits all; this is evident in The Body School’s preparation for their clients, the assessment process, training protocols, and follow ups. They’re honest, reputable and all-round legends. I cannot recommend these guys enough.

Fantastic experience: Very positive experience working with The Body School. Attended some group training sessions which included a very thorough individual assessment and individualised training programme. Introduced me to ideas and practices that I hadn’t be aware of before including Breathwork and daily mobility practices which have been incredibly beneficial for persistent body niggles I’ve been experiencing for a long time. Felt very cared for by both Lenny and Ailish and I would highly recommend for anyone looking to change their experience of pain or progress their training goals.

Fantastic experience: Lenny is an excellent trainer. I’ve had several sessions with him and the results I’ve achieved so far have far exceeded my expectations. It’s clear that he puts an incredible amount of effort and care into the services he offers, and I’m so pleased to have found such a skilful and knowledgeable coach.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been playing professional sport for 10 seasons now and I’ll firmly say that the work I did with the Body School left me in the best possible shape of my career to date. For me, we focused on lots of trunk , shoulder movement/health and the use of breathe. After 2 weeks of work I started to feel the difference in my running, I felt alot stronger and composed especially when fatigue crept in. Usually after running sessions, my lower back and abductors would give me bother, however with the movement I did pre run along with the daily classes I was doing - these issues never presented themselves. The change in my range of motion especially in my hips, was pretty incredible to see. I now have an ability to bring my hips and knees higher in my running style which enables me to create more downward force and in turn run faster. Initially I was hesistant because of the class being done online but in all honesty I was blown away by the work we got done. Lenny and Ailish were always on hand to help with whatever questions I had, they tailored my programming to compliment what my existing training schedule was like. If anyone wants to optimise performance and all round health/wellness, I couldn’t recommend TBS enough!

Fantastic experience: I've been a Body School member since it started (after previously attending Ailish's online classes). It has changed my approach to my training. I'm not someone who naturally feels very connected with their body so it's been a really beneficial journey to go on. There have been many lightbulb moments! I've really enjoyed online classes with Ailish and Lenny. I've also done some 1-1 remote training with Lenny which is been great too. You get a lot for your money and there's always help and support available. I'm more aware of myself, my limitations, how to overcome these and where some of those "niggles" might come from.

Fantastic experience: Did a mini block with Lenny whilst I was out injured from rugby. Have had neck/thoracic pain on and off for a long period so used this opportunity to try solve the issue. Lenny did a full body assessment and explained the mechanics around what he felt was causing the pain. After 3-4 week block with Lenny, I now have a better understanding of the issue and what tends to stir it up. I currently have no pain and and am moving much freer than I was before. I also have access to an online platform where I can look over previous sessions/demos. The work carried out with Lenny has only complimented my current training regime and has allowed me to move/feel better all around.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Ailish and Lenny enough. Not only have they helped me with my injuries, but they've taught me an insane amount about my body, and helped me understand the means to use my body for my sports and daily life. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Lenny for a few months now and have had great results! He adapts his coaching style and sessions to what you need, which can be very hard to find in a coach. I would greatly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their knowledge of their own body and then apply this to their sports & daily life.

Fantastic experience: I discovered kinstretch through Lenny and it has been a big part of my training since! He is very knowledgeable and an amazing coach! Strongly recommend following his classes regularly! Also his approach to Strength and Conditioning training was very organic and worked great for me!

Fantastic experience: I have gained so much flexibility and mobility from Lenny's Kinstretch and Animal Flow online sessions. These sessions have been very beneficial, and I would highly recommend anyone who wants to strengthen and improve their movement.

Fantastic experience: I contacted the Body School as I had several long standing niggling injuries, which I suspected were all related to one another, and was looking for whole-body approach to resolve them. I am very glad that I did. I did an initial assessment with Lenny, which revealed a lot about my mobility, how I breathe and hold myself and how that could be contributing to my problems, which Lenny used to create a training programme for me. After around one month of taking weekly 1:1 sessions and doing the detailed training sessions (which were a combination of breath work, mobility and strength building exercises), I started to notice a big improvement in my symptoms. I am now around 7 weeks in, and am feeling much better in my body and stronger as well as more knowledgeable about my body and how to look after it effectively. I would highly recommend The Body School and their approach to anyone that is looking to move and feel better in their bodies.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Lenny both in a group setting and on a one to one basis for a few months now and he is, hands down, the best instructor and trainer I have come across. His group Kinstretch sessions are great fun, with the right amount of challenge and individual coaching input, which is never an easy feat when working remotely. Working one to one, his vast knowledge and genuine care and attention are second to none. I'd recommend anyone who is interested in learning how to move better and feel better to give The Body School a try - and to top it off, the prices are incredibly attractive too!!

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend the The Body School more!! Lenny is an absolutely fab teacher. I have learnt so much from him through all the various classes he offers which are incredibly insightful, and he is such a patient and thoughtful teacher. Each class is thoroughly enjoyable and unique and I have genuinely looked forward to attending each and every one. And alongside all that my body feels stronger and healthier because of them - isn't that what we all want?!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had knee problems for a long time and have seen a number of physios without making any progress so I thought I would try a different approach and get in contact with Lenny. His approach to fixing movement problems is completely different to anything else I’ve come across. He breaks things down to their foundations and has helped me correct bad patterns of movement that have been the source of my knee problems. Although the initial learning curve is tough the results are great. I would 100% recommend Lenny.

Fantastic experience: Lenny is a fantastic coach, he has a huge breadth and depth of knowledge and is always seeking to further his understanding of how the body works. I worked with Lenny for 2-3 months and gained huge improvements in mobility in the areas Lenny recommended we focus on. He is extremely professional and capable of working with everyone from with people from elite sportspeople through to less active people trying to fix their bodies.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic mobility specialist. Very inspiring and motivational. Lenny has provided me with unique insights into my own movement capacity and afforded me tools to develop further. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lenny is an absolute genius. I’ve been training with him for years. Extraordinarily knowledgeable. A really great guy too. Absolutely the best trainer you could wish for!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lenny for 7 months now and have enjoyed every second! Lenny is so knowledgable and motivates me on the daily. I have gained strength and reached PB goals. Also I have learnt so much about nutrition and what works best for me. Big thank you to Len and couldn’t recommend him more.

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Lenny when looking for advice and coaching on core & strength development at which he excels. The sessions have progressed to using his FRC qualifications to assist with both injury recovery and further progressing our original focus. An essential complimentary addition to my usual cardio programme for competitive preparation. Ian

Fantastic experience: Lenny is an incredibly effective trainer where I have not only lost a significant amount of weight but he has also enabled me to lead a healthier lifestyle. He has been my PT for almost 9 months and has gone out of his way to tailor specific training regimes for me, both in and out of the gym. More importantly, he clearly explains why certain exercises may work best for you and why others should be avoided. Lenny spends a lot of time focussing on instilling a strong level of self-motivation to ensure the full impact of his training schedules. Lenny also takes a lot of care to monitor and guide on the best nutritional plan. Lenny is a consumate professional who takes his craft seriously and I can't recommend him enough - he's the real deal.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Lenny for almost a year and would highly recommend him! He’s incredibly intelligent using science to back his plans and always simplifies the benefits of each exercise and approach which I find really interesting. He’s very motivational and has a no-nonsense approach. He helped me to run a marathon successfully and injury free. Training with Lenny is fun and rewarding. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Fantastic experience: Lenny is by far the most knowledgeable coach/trainer I have ever come across. As well as strength/fitness work he has opened my eyes to a whole new world of Functional Range Conditioning. As a result I have seen massive improvements in the mobility and strength of my problem areas of neck, back and shoulders. This has also been a boost for the playing level of my rugby and rock climbing. Most importantly I have learnt more about my own body by training with him than any other program / PT I have had previously.
