From Brighton to Santa Monica
Lashawn was born and raised in Brighton, England, and moved to Santa Monica to open his own personal training practice. He has more than ten years of experience in the fitness industry and has coached at leading health clubs in both the UK and the US — including Equinox in Santa Monica.
That experience shaped what ENVYS is today: the standard of coaching you would expect from a premium club, delivered privately, 1-on-1, where every session is built around one person — you.
Science first, results always
Lashawn holds a Bachelor of Science in Sport and Exercise Science from Nottingham Trent University. That background means your program is not guesswork or a copy-and-paste routine. Every exercise, set and progression is chosen for a reason, based on your assessment, your history and the result you are after.
He specializes in body transformations, with an emphasis on functional training. Sessions combine barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, TRX Suspension Training and bodyweight exercises, using a mix of compound and isolation movements — often in a circuit style that builds strength and conditioning at the same time.

How Lashawn coaches
Every client starts with an assessment. From there, Lashawn designs a program for your goals — whether that is losing weight, getting stronger or a complete body transformation — and coaches every rep in person. He tracks your progress, adjusts the plan as you improve, and keeps you accountable between sessions.
"Envys completely changed my relationship with fitness. The coaching is world-class — knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your success."

Outside the gym
Lashawn practices what he coaches. He plays rugby for the Santa Monica Dolphins, and when he is not training clients you will find him on the golf course, skiing, road cycling, hiking or at the beach.
