Hi I’m Ollie Thompson, creator of Welltolead. Welcome!
Welltolead was born out of my extensive experience in problem-solving and dismantling the barriers that obstructed both my client’s progress and my own. Throughout my career, I have built a substantial client base in London, primarily comprising exhausted professionals from various industries, ranging from business founders and executives to bankers, doctors, stage performers, actors, and more.
Despite the diversity of professions I've worked with, they all had one common problem - they were sick of feeling drained, fatigued, and running on empty. Through our work together, I’ve helped them to look, feel, and perform at their best day in and day out, with a healthy, energised, and pain-free body, and a sharp mind to match.
This inspired me to develop Welltolead coaching and help more people all around the world, to apply the same proven strategies and tools that I’ve used over the past decade. Helping you not only develop a healthy, robust, and pain-free body, but also providing you with better energy levels, greater nourishment, gut health, deeper sleep, the ability to switch off effectively, prevent burnout, and build resilience against the monthly office bug.
Ollie’s Experience
Ollie has developed his holistic approach after nearly a decade of coaching busy, run-down professionals in central London and online.
His sought after fitness and wellbeing method has led him to work in some of London’s top private training studios. With over 10,000 hours of coaching under his belt, he’s been fortunate to work with a variety of industry leading clients ranging from start-up founders, execs and bankers to stage performers, actors and doctors; in doing so, earning a place on the Evening Standard’s List of London Top Personal Trainers.
Ollie writes a monthly column for Cambridge Independent covering all things health and fitness. Alongside this, he contributes regularly to publications including GQ, Esquire, independent, Cosmopolitan, Daily Express, Metro, Sheerluxe, Mens Health and more.
Prior to working in London, Ollie graduated from the University of the West of England with a BA Honours in Business Entrepreneurship. Fascinated by the connection fitness and wellbeing has on performance in the workplace, he focused heavily on researching entrepreneurial mindset, start-up cultures and wellness within business. Through working with and connecting with a vast array of founders and senior management, he gained first-hand exposure to the impact poor health, high stress, and low energy have on the performance of busy knowledge workers.
Ollie’s Approach
Ollie is passionate about providing individuals with an expanding range of tools to help them feel better and function better, with increased energy and a strong, pain-free body.
He positions himself at the bridge between the fitness profession and the wellness profession. His approach is founded on the belief that while fitness and nutrition are at the core of health and wellbeing, they are limited and often ineffective if fundamentals such as sleep, energy, stress, and nourishment are neglected.
Ollie prides himself on his extensive experience working with highly stressed and worn-down busy professionals across various industries. His approach heavily emphasises aiding his clients not only in developing a lean and healthy physique but doing so in a manner that helps prevent burnout, manage stress more effectively, enhance their immune system, and boost focus, energy, and productivity.
