Leap Into Fitness Exercise Studio

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with JJ for over 2 years. During that time I’ve lost over 3 stone, built strength and massively improved my overall wellbeing. When I first started, I was struggling with chronic back pain, couldn’t bend to tie my trainers and was in the physio twice a week. With JJ’s support, my pain levels are significantly more manageable, I feel stronger, am more resilient and only see the physio once every 6 weeks, if that. What I really value is JJ’s ability to know when to push me or when I need a bit more encouragement. Training with him has not only helped my physical health but it’s given me a real mental reset. It’s time when I can switch off from work and focus on myself. On top of this our sessions are fun. We have a good laugh, plenty of Arsenal chat, set the world to rights and it’s never a chore turning up. I also love that it’s a family run business. JJ and Amy make their clients feel like part of their extended family - in fact JJ trains my husband and kids so it’s a proper family affair for us. I’d highly recommend Leap Fit and JJ to anyone looking for a trainer that is super knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: Five stars isn’t enough for JJ’s Leap into Fitness. I’ve been a loyal client for nearly two years, doing both PT and the weekly classes, and I can honestly say training with JJ has been life-changing. With his help, motivation, and the occasional in-session counselling pep talk, I’ve lost a third of my body weight, built real muscle, and most importantly rebuilt my relationship with food and movement. I’ve become the kind of person who actually looks forward to working out and goes to the gym to feel good, not smaller. JJ’s sessions are always innovative, never boring, always purposeful, and sooo rewarding. He brings energy, skill, and genuine care into every single workout, meeting you exactly where you are while still pushing you to levels you didn’t think possible. The community he’s built is supportive and welcoming, and his programming makes consistency feel natural. If you’re wondering who to trust with your FINAL transformation, JJ is your guy. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with JJ for several years, primarily to build the strength foundation for distance running. JJ consistently delivers not just as a trainer but as a genuine coach—friendly, supportive, and highly knowledgeable. He crafted a strength plan that perfectly complements my running schedule, allowing me to balance three focused gym sessions a week with my distance training. Seeing JJ a few times each month keeps me motivated and ensures I’m progressing effectively, both in the gym and on the road. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take their running or overall fitness to the next level.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with JJ for almost 4 years and it’s the best decision and investment I have made for my health and overall wellbeing. From 2 personal training sessions a week, I have added 1 or 2 classes on top: I love the community JJ and Amy have created. No ego, everyone is here to keep strong and healthy! I have a 7 months old baby now and the mums and babies classes have allowed me to keep training without having to worry about childcare. I have met some lovely mums so it’s a real treat to come and workout. Thanks JJ and Amy!

Fantastic experience: JJ and the whole leap fit team are amazing! Leap Fit is such a great addition to the Dalston fitness scene. Great value PT sessions, high-energy classes, and really experienced and reliable instructors (including of course the legend: JJ himself!). Couldn’t recommend more! Don’t think - just sign up! You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Training with JJ has been the single most important change I made to my life last year. 9 months on my body feels stronger, I feel more capable, I’m enjoying my wardrobe again. Let’s not even get started on the mental gains. Working out HARD is now a natural part of my life and it’s given me more energy to do all the other things I love. JJ, Amy, Leapfit- you guys rock, thank you for being my little rock in E8!

Fantastic experience: Membership price and what is included?

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting JJ for 3 months and am incredibly happy with the results. I couldn’t recommend him and the team enough! Thank you x

Fantastic experience: JJ and the whole Leap team are unbelievable. Just the right blend of warmth, personalisation and no-nonsense to get you motivated and in shape in no time. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Amazing space with the best PT’s and classes. The spin class is the best spin class I’ve been to (and I’ve been to a lot). The studio - JJ, the classes, the people and the general vibe has transformed me and helped me fall back in love with fitness.

Fantastic experience: Loving Leap's Saturday morning 9:30am boot camp! JJ's workout is intense and invigorating, providing a perfect mix of cardio, resistance and strength training. He really knows his stuff and his athletic training shines through. You'll leave feeling accomplished and energised for the rest of the day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding fitness session!

Fantastic experience: What a great gym! JJ and the other PTs are fantastic. I joined last year and the results are unbelievable!

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience with JJ & the rest of the team. 10/10. Would highly recommend the 12 week transformation programme and classes.

Fantastic experience: Amy and JJ are amazing instructors - I especially enjoy their power plate spin class. Recommend it to everyone!

Fantastic experience: JJ is a great personal trainer who has really helped me get back into shape. After taking a break from the gym for a few years, I found it really hard staying motivated and getting back into a workout routine. I finally decided to go for it and signed up for a pack of 1 hour personal training sessions with JJ. From the start, he is focused on you and your goals and helps you work toward what you want to achieve, it all feels very personalized. I've learned so many new exercises to help diversify my workouts. The Leap Into Fitness gym is a nice space too with lots of great equipment. I'm actually kind of enjoying exercising again and I feel good! The hour-long PT sessions were a good jump start to get me back into workout mode but because of my work schedule I decided to switch over to the 30-minute Blast PT sessions. I wasn't sure what to expect as it's half the usual time but honestly these have been kind of perfect for me. They are shorter but so much more intense and I can always fit them into my busy schedule. And I definitely feel it after! I highly recommend JJ, my PT training with him has been awesome!

Fantastic experience: JJ is an awesome personal trainer who's really listening to his clients. After a 1 year break from lifting weights, I decided to join Leap Into Fitness in order to get my positioning right and diversify my exercises. JJ has been really good at focusing on all muscle groups and improve my areas of weakness. Thanks to his approach, I've been able to push my limits while avoiding injuries. Each session brings new exercises and has shown me how to use gym equipment differently. I now feel more empowered when I visit a gym on my own. The equipment available at his gym is also really good!

Fantastic experience: JJ is a great and inspiring trainer. Our sessions are very uplifting and fun. He ensures that I'm always on track with my goals. Every session is challenging and progressive. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: JJ is an incredible trainer. I've been really enjoying the training and I'm very grateful for the results I have achieved so far. His encouragement and constant motivation helps me push myself to my limits. Would 100% recommend JJ's personal training

Fantastic experience: Found whole new motivation training with JJ and Amy. There's a great sense of community and I always feel challenged to try new classes. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: JJ is the ultimate trainer. I had personal training with him at LeapFit for 3 months with a goal to build muscle and stay lean. After finishing my time there, I had not only left with a completely different body composition, but I left with new motivation, inspiration and a drive to be better in other areas of my life, and that came from repetitive sessions with JJ. He's a great person to be around, his drive to be better every day rubs off on you. From a training perspective, JJ is very attentive on your progress and will push you to be better every week. The private gym/studio is a rarity in London so you feel that you are getting a lot of benefits from training with him there. It was a shame to stop training after my time there as we had progressed so much (I had moved away from London). I came out feeling healthier and stronger, but also left having got to know a great person who I can call a friend!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with JJ and going to fitness classes here since July 2021. I was 8 months post-partum at the time and looking to lose about 10 kilos. I take classes twice a week and have PT once a week with JJ as well as follow a nutrition plan. Not only have I lost the weight (and more) but I feel (and look) fitter than ever. I'm now setting new goals for the future. I didn't think I would come this far in a few months. JJ is a true fitness pro and athlete, an extremely nice person, and a great motivator for anyone who is looking to improve him/herself. He's found a loyal client in me and I recommend Leap Into Fitness as a fantastic place for classes and for PT. Thank you JJ!

Fantastic experience: JJ is my personal coach for weightlifting. I enjoy fitness in general and JJ elevated that by pushing me out of my comfort zone to compete. Being an athlete himself, he understands the obstacles we face not just physically but mentally to push through be better fitter versions of ourselves.

Fantastic experience: Working with JJ is a pleasure, he is very professional, organised and is always full of positive energy, which motivates me to improve. He pays attention to details and genuinely cares about my progress, which I have found isn't always the case. He holds me to account on my diet and exercise goals, which really helps too. I would recommend him and his studio (which has everything you need) to anyone. Thanks for your hard work, keep it up! #90kgSteve

Fantastic experience: Started JJ class since July 2020 and never regretted it at all. I look forward in the early morning's ☔ or shine. I see results in 50 something years. People would often ask me what going on with me. JJ also motivated you. Pushes you. Thanks you JJ ‍♂️‍♂️

Fantastic experience: Great for Personal Training as well as small-group classes. JJ is fantastic. The space is excellent, well-equipped and private. It also allows for social-distancing friendly exercising. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: JJ is a great trainer, incredibly knowledgable, always mixing up the work outs keeping things interesting. He is very attentive and helps to push you to becoming a better you. Always looking forward to my next session

Fantastic experience: I have been personal training with JJ for roughly 6-7 months now in his studio. The facilities are amazing, exactly what you would expect in a big cooperate gym and even more I’d say. Everything is personalised to suit individual needs, there is a great variety of brand NEW equipment and everything is so clean and well presented. Great for peace of mind if you are worried about working out due to the current pandemic, JJ cleans before and after you use the equipment as well as a deep clean of the whole facility after every session. JJ coaches you on a personal level discussing in depth your goals, why you may not have achieved it so far, and what you need to do to get there and maintain it. I am testimony of this as I started at roughly 78.8kg at the start of my journey and I currently stand at 72.5kg with a high percentage loss of belly fat and lean muscle building and I am nowhere near finished yet! JJ’s group classes are also great either on top of personal training sessions with him as I do or as a standalone, there are plenty of variety of classes to keep you going and they are great fun as well as challenging. Each individual regardless of their different abilities are pushed to their own personal limits and JJ gets to know each attendee at a personal level ensuring no workout is too hard, or too easy for each individual throughout the whole session. Regardless wether you are solely a class attendee or a regular PT client, JJ has always been super quick and efficient at responding queries and questions regarding fitness, nutrition and diet even outside of training sessions, his phone is always on helping even remotely keep me on track of my fitness journey!!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Leap Fit and JJ highly enough. Since I started exercising here I have found that working out has gone from a chore to something j look forward to everyday. JJ is great at teaching you about fitness and is always looking for the best solution for your needs. I really couldn't imagine training anywhere else with anyone else!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with JJ at Leap Into Fitness Studio since February 2020. Without the help of JJ I wouldn't have been able to achieve the same results. JJ is a brilliant PT who will always push and challenge you to achieve your goals. I have one to one PT sessions in addition to regular group exercise classes. JJ is not just another PT, he is also an athlete, so will also help with nutritional advice to make sure you achieve your peak performance.
