What 1-on-1 coaching with Leon looks like

Every athlete I coach gets a fully individualised program built around their life – their schedule, their goals, their strengths and the things we need to work on. No templates. No copy-paste training blocks.

We work across the full picture of OCR performance – running, grip strength, obstacle technique, strength training, race preparation and recovery. Sessions are tracked through TrainingPeaks, and we stay connected through regular check-ins and 1-on-1 calls. You also join the Get A Grip Athlete Community, in which we educate and inspire each other, race is the same kit and share our passion for sports.

I don’t take on athletes I don’t believe I can genuinely help. That’s not a sales line – it’s just how I work.

This is for you if you’re done going it alone

Maybe you’ve been racing for years and progress has stalled. Maybe you’re new to the sport and want to build it right from the start. Maybe you just want structure, accountability and someone who genuinely gives a damn about your development.

That’s what this is.

Who I coach

The Get A Grip roster is a genuinely mixed group – and that’s on purpose.

Some are chasing elite podiums. Some are racing age group and want to be competitive. Some are brand new to OCR and hungry to build a real foundation. Some just want to grow on their own terms, with no race goals at all. What they share is the willingness to show up consistently and take the process seriously – and, they’re good people.

Current athletes come from across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, Australia and beyond. The community is part of the deal – not just the training. You can check some of them out here.

A bit about me

I’m a 4x European Champion and 6x World Champion in Obstacle Course Racing. I’ve coached close to 5,000 athletes through OCR Training Denmark and Get A Grip Training since 2015, and I’ve spent years learning what actually works – in training, in racing and in building something sustainable over time. Sure I’m a certified nerd, but what really work is intention, consideration and communication.

I left a corporate career to do sports full time. Coaching is the best part of my job, and I take it seriously.

Looking for another coach?

Get A Grip Training has grown to include Signy Karoline as a coach – a licensed physiotherapist, personal trainer and elite OCR athlete with deep expertise in injury prevention, rehabilitation and long-term athletic development. If my roster is full, or if Signy is a better fit for your specific needs, that conversation is always worth having.

Spots are limited

I keep the roster deliberately small. That’s not going to change – it’s what makes the coaching actually work. Spots open up regularly. If you’re curious, the best thing to do is reach out now and start the conversation.
