Meet your coaches
Phil
Co-Founder & Head Coach
Phil has been a fixture in Brixton’s fitness scene for over 13 years and is the heartbeat of the gym he co-founded. Raised a few streets away, he’s the real deal: a proper local who still trains in the same parks and estates he grew up on.
With a Level 3 Personal Training qualification and a reputation built on relentless consistency, infectious energy and zero ego, Phil turns up every single day for his community. His classes aren’t just workouts, they’re where people rediscover what their bodies are capable of and start treating fitness as non-negotiable daily medicine. Loud laughs, tough sets, proper technique and genuine care included as standard. If you train with Phil, you don’t just get stronger, you join a family.
Bruce
Co-Founder & Head Coach
Bruce founded the gym after a career in football, playing for Olympique Lyonnais and Grenoble Foot 38 youth academies. The intensity of elite sport forged a simple, unbreakable philosophy: real strength comes from discipline, smart programming, and genuine care.
Armed with an MSc from Loughborough University and 8+ years coaching everyone from athletes to total beginners, Bruce’s expertise lies in functional bodyweight mastery, progressive overload, and turning “I can’t into Watch me”. He still leads the majority of our group classes, expect flawless technique, zero nonsense, and a room full of people getting unmistakably stronger, week after week.
Priscilla
Wellness & Mobility Coach | Personal Trainer
Priscilla is a wellness and mobility coach and certified personal trainer who specialises in breath, movement, and embodied presence. At High Achievers Lab, she leads mobility sessions and free community classes, creating spaces for connection, restoration, and mindful movement.
Her approach blends performance with awareness, helping members move with ease, regulate their nervous system, and build a stronger, more grounded relationship with their bodies.
LJ
Boxing coach
LJ has lived and breathed boxing for over 13 years, first as an amateur fighter, now as one of London quietly calls when they want the very best. His sessions blend hard science, hard work, and pure joy in a way that feels almost unfair. Perfect technique is non-negotiable; fun is mandatory.
No egos, no barking, just world-class coaching that meets you exactly where you are. Whether you’re here to de-stress, learn to slip punches like a pro, or simply feel unbreakable, LJ builds sharper minds and tougher bodies, one perfectly-timed jab at a time.
Camila
Mat Pilates & Rehabilitation Specialist
Camila is the rare Pilates instructor who works both in our studio and alongside NHS physiotherapists in clinical rehabilitation. That real-world experience makes her cues impossibly precise and her progressions bulletproof.
She specialises in functional strength, pain-free movement, women’s health, and helping the over-40s move like they’ve turned the clock back a decade. Calm, focused, quietly brutal classes. You’ll walk out taller, stronger, and wondering why nobody ever taught you to move this well before.
