The short answer

What Build involves

Build is our flagship coaching relationship, running 6–12 months. Real change takes longer than a few weeks. Build works across all eight elements, laying foundations in training, nutrition, sleep and recovery, then progressing them as your life and goals evolve. Regular reviews keep the plan honest and moving forward.

It starts with a Vitality Profile and a written plan of action. Sessions are 60 minutes, in person at UNTIL Marylebone, and every one is logged and tracked. Remote coaching is available between sessions when you’re travelling, so the plan holds through a demanding week instead of breaking in one.

“Not a training plan. A plan built around who you are and where you want to go.” We measure everything from the start and track progress throughout. You’ll always know exactly where you stand, and exactly what is moving the needle.

How it works

How Build runs

Getting started

Every programme starts with a Vitality Profile. Before it, note your key commitments over the next few months, how your week typically runs, and any current or previous injuries, so the programme is built around your real constraints. Wear comfortable training clothing and flat-soled shoes.

During your sessions

After your sessions

Your programme is written up and loaded into CoachRx after the Vitality Profile, and revised at every review against the measures taken at the start. Remote coaching continues between sessions, so adjustments happen when they are needed rather than at a fixed interval.

questions

Why 6–12 months?

Because real change takes longer than a few weeks. Leigh puts it plainly: twelve weeks to feel a meaningful shift, and six to twelve months to genuinely change. Build is designed around that second number, and many coaching relationships here go on to run two to three years.

What if my work makes a fixed schedule impossible?

That is the normal case rather than the exception, and it is one of the reasons the programme is built the way it is. Sessions are scheduled around your week, remote coaching carries on between them, and the programme is written so a disrupted period is absorbed rather than abandoned.

Do I need to be fit before I start?

No. The Vitality Profile exists precisely so the programme starts where you are. People come in from long training histories and from years away from structured exercise, and in both cases the first block is set from what the assessment shows rather than from where anyone thinks you should be.

Is nutrition included, or is that extra?

It is included in every programme, along with sleep and recovery. Training in isolation does not produce the outcomes people are actually after, so selling nutrition as a separate product would be selling half a programme. Both are part of how every programme is built.

What happens between sessions?

Remote coaching is part of every programme, and your plan sits in the CoachRx app so you can follow it when you train on your own. If a week goes sideways, and they do, the adjustment happens at the time rather than waiting for the next review to catch it.
