THE CLUBQ TEAM
Meet the Coaches
§ THE OWNERS
A small team, entirely focused on you
ClubQ was founded on a simple conviction: that busy, high-performing people deserve far better than London offers them. Better than off-the-shelf coaching that hands you an hour and leaves you to the rest, and better than the cramped, underground gyms most are stuck with. So our founder Harry built the opposite, and that standard has shaped everything we do since.
We are a deliberately small team of three. Harry and Alina, a husband-and-wife pair, own and run the studio, with Layne as our third coach. Keeping the team small is the point: it is what lets each of us stay genuinely focused on the handful of clients we look after, with the qualifications, the attention and the care that a crowded gym floor could never offer.
§ FOUNDER & COACH
Harry Cox
Harry founded ClubQ in 2021, but he has been coaching one-to-one full time for eight years, a depth of experience few trainers reach. Most of that has been with founders, executives and other busy professionals, many of them travelling constantly yet still determined to get/stay in great shape. Getting results from people who do not have a minute to waste is exactly what he does best.
His training goes well beyond the standard personal training route. A Level 5 Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy means he can treat the tension and niggles that come with desk-bound, high-stress weeks. He'll ease a tight back or stiff shoulders hands-on, mid-session, rather than just working around it. Paired with a deep understanding of anatomy, it keeps his clients moving and progressing instead of losing weeks to usual aches and stop-start setbacks.

§ CO-OWNER & COACH
Alina Cox
Alina co-owns ClubQ and coaches with a precision clients feel from the first session: structured, meticulously tracked, and demanding in the best way, with a distinctly German edge that is exact and no-nonsense. She is deeply metric-focused, so nothing is left vague. If it can be measured, she measures it, and uses it to keep you moving towards your goal.
Alongside her training, she brings real depth in nutrition and women's health. She holds EIQ's evidence-based nutrition qualification, an in-depth sixteen-week course, so she can coach the food side properly, from eating for fat loss or muscle to building habits that genuinely stick. She specialises particularly in training women through every stage of life, from the menstrual cycle to menopause and PCOS, and holds a pre- and post-natal qualification for training through and after pregnancy. For any woman who wants coaching that truly accounts for her body, that expertise matters.

§ COACH
Dr. Layne Flannery
Layne brings a level of scientific depth that's rare in personal training. She holds a PhD in Exercise and Sport Science and has coached in elite performance environments, so everything she does is built on what the research actually proves works.
Years spent coaching in professional sports , including women's rugby league and golf, mean she knows exactly how to build real strength, power and fitness, whether you're chasing a specific goal or simply want to feel stronger and move better. That depth of knowledge means there is a genuine justification behind every choice in your programme, and she can explain each one in a way that actually makes sense.
Her approach is refreshingly straightforward: master the fundamentals, progress them properly, and skip the shortcuts that get in the way

§ HEAD OF CUSTOMER RELATIONS
Willow
Willow is our studio dog, and, if we're honest, the most popular member of the team. Playful, cuddly, and a fan of everyone she meets, she has a real talent for making the studio feel like a private escape. When she isn't busy greeting clients, she is almost certainly asleep in the corner.
Not a dog person? No problem, just let us know and she'll happily stay at home, no questions asked.
We think she's a pretty good reason to come in for a consultation, then again, we might be biased.
