Guiding Your Journey to Transformation

Our approach goes beyond traditional personal training. By combining body transformation with insights from psychotherapy, breathwork, and performance coaching, we craft personalised journeys that unlock your full potential. Our mission is to help you thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally—leading a balanced, high-performance life.

VITALITY, PERFORMANCE, AESTHETICS

At W1 Performance, we set out to solve the frustrations we saw in the fitness industry: body transformations that didn’t last, shallow coaching that felt transactional, and methods that didn’t prepare clients for long-term success. Our goal is to deliver fast, effective results, but in a way that’s sustainable, personalised, and deeply impactful.

Through our Vitality Blueprint, we go beyond just physical change. We address mental resilience, stress management, and longevity, ensuring that every client not only transforms their body but also develops the tools to thrive for life. We’ve combined our well-rounded skill set with a commitment to building strong, lasting relationships with clients. This personalised approach is at the core of everything we do.

Holistic Body, Mind, and Performance Transformation

We believe in the power of a client-centric focus that prioritises your individual needs and goals. Our proven methods are rooted in education, ensuring that you’re not just a participant in your transformation but fully equipped for long-term success. Additionally, we recognise that community and support are essential to creating lasting change, which is why we foster an environment where clients can connect, share, and grow together.

By integrating the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of performance, we ensure that our clients experience holistic, long-lasting results that go far beyond what they’ve experienced elsewhere. At W1 Performance, we’re here to elevate every part of your life, not just transform your body.

Meet our founder Leigh Clayton

With over 14 years of experience in the fitness industry, Leigh has worked with some of the biggest names in health and wellness, including David Lloyd, Virgin Active, Ultimate Performance, and Third Space London. Over the course of his career, Leigh has helped hundreds of clients achieve life-changing transformations, solidifying his reputation as an elite personal trainer.

After experiencing his own struggles—feeling stuck physically, emotionally, and professionally—Leigh recognised the need for a new approach. The traditional methods that once worked were no longer serving him or his clients. Through personal trial and error, Leigh developed the Vitality Blueprint, a coaching method that integrates physical transformation with mental resilience, stress management, and long-term health. This shift in philosophy allowed him to reconnect with his core values and embrace a more authentic, person-centred approach to wellness.

Leigh’s mission is to help high-performing professionals achieve sustainable results without sacrificing their health, well-being, or personal goals. By cutting through the complexity and focusing on what truly moves the needle, he empowers clients to take control of their health journeys and build a life of balance and longevity.

In addition to his work in fitness, Leigh holds a BSc in Sport & Exercise Science, is an Advanced Oxygen Advantage Breathwork Instructor, and has formal training in Psychotherapy & Counselling. His experience in both the mental and physical aspects of wellness sets him apart, allowing him to guide clients toward true transformation, inside and out.

Leigh believes that health is more than just aesthetics; it’s about thriving mentally, emotionally, and physically. His passion is to help clients live in alignment with their values, and to guide them on a path of sustainable, long-term success.
