THE HOME OF SPEED TRAINING IN SOUTHAMPTON

Speed School is where sprint performance meets elite coaching - built for sprinters and athletes across all sports who want to get faster, sharper, and more explosive.

From 60m and 100m specialists to footballers, rugby players, and field athletes, our sessions focus on sprint mechanics, acceleration, and top-end speed that translates directly to game-day performance.

Led by experienced coaches at Southampton Athletics Track, Speed School offers two pathways: the Sprints Membership - free to join with your club membership - and the Pro Membership, which adds strength training and recovery access at Winning Strength Southampton for a complete athletic development package.

Both memberships include access to our Speed School sessions, held at Winning Strength Southampton. Don’t get left behind. Join Speed School and start building serious speed.
