About Your Coach: Leon Melnicenko
I'm Leon, a UK-based group fitness coach with 30 years of experience in the fitness industry.
Before becoming a fitness professional, I served with the 42 Commando Royal Marines, earning the coveted Green Beret — one of the most demanding military qualifications in the world. The discipline, creativity and leadership skills I developed in the Royal Marines became the foundation of everything I do as a coach.
After leaving the military I founded Sound Fitness Team Training, where I ran outdoor bootcamps for 5 years, delivering over 2,000 group fitness sessions to real clients.
That's where I learned what actually works in a group setting — what keeps people coming back, what kills retention, and what makes a workout genuinely memorable.
I hold qualifications as an Advanced Group Fitness Trainer and Nutritionist, and I've spent the last 30 years obsessing over one thing: helping fitness professionals like you run better classes.
Everything on this site — and inside the Workout Design Club — comes from real experience, not theory.
Keep Your Clients Hooked On Your Classes With Over 3500 Fun, Fresh, and Creative Bootcamp Workouts!

If you don't keep your workouts fresh and fun, your clients will lose interest and drop off.
That’s why the best trainers don’t recycle the same old workouts.
Instead, they bring fresh, engaging ideas every single week.
That’s exactly why I created the Workout Design Club.
We start you off with over 3,500 ready-to-run workouts, then each week we design fresh new ones — so your clients always have something new and exciting to look forward to.
