OUR STORY
Lawrence Arsalides (Director of LA Personal Training London Limited)
A passion for the health & fitness has always driven me to keep progressing and improving not only my skills, but the companies. Focusing on offering the best services to our clients, so they can also see the benefits of exercise.
My now wife & I moved to London 10 years ago from Cambridge looking to pursue our carriers and work in the City with the best opportunities. From the age of 17 I had worked for a small gym and supplement company in Cambridge. Opening the gym, supplying gym inductions and also helping in the supplement warehouse with stock take.
When we moved to London I started working for the health club chain Cannons in Wimbledon which is now Nuffield Health. At the club I managed to build up a large personal training clientele base while also teaching regular spin classes and offering health MOTs (Vi1 health assessments)
Not long after Cannons switched to Nuffield Health I was offered the opportunity to work at their new flagship club in Covent Garden. Realising the potentially to reach a whole of range of different clients and the challenge of being in a new club from the start I jumped in. Changing my main club, but still working with my clients from Wimbledon allowed me to reach a larger range of clients.
Working long days from early morning clients to late evening clients I soon become one of the top personal trainings at the Covent Garden branch, not only completing the most sessions in a month for the club but achieving the most completed session for all of the Nuffield Health clubs in the UK.
While doing all this I had also started my own gym management company offering gym management services to a residential gym, the Hamptons in Worcester Park.
In early 2013 I decided it was time to work on my new gym management company and left Nuffield Health Covent Garden to work full time with external P.T clients and at the Hamptons Gym.
Over the last five years my team & I have helped build one of the top residential gyms in the UK with a full class timetable, personal training services and complete gym re-design in early 2017.
My passion for the health & fitness industry is more alive than ever and I love being able help clients and developments offer their clients the best in fitness services keeps fuelling me more.
The success and future success of LA PT London is not just down to me, but the team of great class instructors, gym instructors and P. T’s which work for LAPT London and their skills. I truly believe that behind every great company is an even better team.
With new projects on the horizon we are starting to work with other developments, online P.T services have now fully launched and we have a great range of supplements now on sale.
Upcoming new projects are mobile personal training and
