The honest starting point

You don't need another gym membership.

Most men who come to Ed are not unmotivated. They run companies, teams and busy households. They know exactly what they should be doing. What they don't have is a method that survives a full diary, client dinners and travel.

The result is familiar: months of on-and-off effort, a body that never quite changes, and training that feels like an obligation rather than something to look forward to.

  • 01Workouts that bore you within three weeks
  • 02Training that stops the moment work gets busy
  • 03No accountability once you leave the gym
  • 04Nutrition that never quite holds together
  • 05Body fat that refuses to shift around a demanding schedule

Training should give you
more than burned calories.

Learn a skill. Build a fighter's fitness. Build a body you're proud of.

Results

The work speaks quietly.

Every client's starting point is different. What is consistent is the direction of travel: leaner, fitter, stronger and genuinely competent at boxing.

"Training with Ed completely changed how I approach fitness. I'm considerably leaner, fitter and for the first time I actually feel like I can box."

Twelve months of inconsistent gym sessions
After
Three sessions a week, visibly leaner, boxing with real technique
James H.38 · Founder · Notting Hill

After

Why boxing

Fitness you actually want to get better at.

Boxing is the most complete training method most men never try properly. It builds a lean athletic body as a by-product of learning a real skill — which is precisely why it holds attention when nothing else does.

01

Skill

Every session has something to get better at. Footwork, timing, distance — measurable craft rather than repetition.

02

Conditioning

Rounds build a work capacity that treadmills never will. Lean, athletic conditioning, not just fatigue.

03

Focus

You cannot think about your inbox while catching a combination. An hour of genuine mental quiet.

04

Confidence

Competence changes how you carry yourself. Knowing how to handle yourself is quietly powerful.

05

Progression

Clear levels to move through, so training keeps its edge months and years in.

For the boxing-first client

Private boxing coaching

12 week boxing accelerator course — become a capable boxer with the key aspects of the craft covered in 12 weeks.

One in-person session with me each week, plus weekly homework for you to complete on your own. Send me video footage of the work and I will analyse it and give you feedback before the next session — that combination keeps the pace consistent and the progress visible.

Whether you're starting from zero, want to sharpen your technique or eventually step into controlled sparring, Ed provides private coaching built around genuine boxing progression.

Portrait of Ed, former professional boxer and private coach

About

Coached by a fighter.
Built for real life.

Ed boxed professionally before moving into private coaching, and was an Amateur Boxing London Development Champion in 2021. That background shapes how he teaches: properly, patiently and without shortcuts. Technique first, then conditioning, then the kind of sharpness that only comes from repetition done well.

He is also exceptionally lean himself, and has spent years understanding what actually keeps a physique that way through work, travel and a normal social life. His nutrition guidance is deliberately simple — food you'll eat, habits you'll keep.

Most of Ed's clients are professionals in their thirties and forties. He doesn't expect them to train like fighters or eat like bodybuilders. He expects consistency, and he builds the structure that makes consistency possible.

  • Former professional boxer
  • Amateur Boxing London Development Champion 2021
  • Over a decade of training and coaching
  • Specialist in getting — and staying — lean
  • Practical, evidence-led nutrition knowledge
  • Built around accountability and consistency
  • Works with busy professionals, not full-time athletes

Testimonials

In their words.

Men who came in busy, plateaued and sceptical — and left leaner, sharper and able to box.

Ed stripped away everything that wasn't working. Twelve weeks in I was leaner than I'd been in a decade — and I could actually box.

James H.

Founder, Notting Hill

−9 kg · 12 weeks

I travel constantly and had written off getting properly fit. Ed built a programme that survives my calendar instead of ignoring it.

Alex M.

Managing Director, Kensington

Consistent 14 months

The pad work is the best hour of my week. The physique change almost felt like a side effect of enjoying the training.

Tom R.

Private equity, Fulham

First white-collar bout

I wanted to learn boxing but I also wanted to feel safer walking home. Ed made me confident in both — my fitness has transformed and I genuinely trust myself more.

Sarah T.

Business owner, Notting Hill

Leaner, stronger, more confident
