About Eugene Churkin
Strength, muscle and a body
that backs you up
I'm Eugene Churkin, a personal trainer in Canary Wharf and the coach behind Colossus PT. I've trained clients across the Wharf for around 2 years, and since April 2026 I've worked exclusively from UNTIL Canary Wharf: 1 private members' club, in the heart of the financial district. The work is 1-2-1 and built entirely around you: strength, muscle, and fat loss programmed together, not chased in isolation.
Most of the people I work with are professionals from the surrounding financial district: busy, capable, and short on time, who want their training handled properly rather than left to chance. I'm originally from Ukraine and coach in 3 languages: English, Russian, and Ukrainian. Across my 2 years in the Wharf, a good number of my 1-2-1 clients have been Russian-speaking, and coaching them in their own language means the technique cues and the reasoning behind every session are never lost in translation.
I keep the offer deliberately simple: 2 ways to train: 1-2-1 in the gym, or online through the app: both built around your goals, your schedule, and the realities of a demanding job. The standard I coach to is the one I grew up with in Eastern Europe: demanding, structured, and precise, and every session is logged and tracked so decisions run on your numbers, not guesswork. Load is earned, progress follows capacity, and the plan keeps evolving so it never stops working.
