WANT TO GET STRONGER? LET'S GIVE YOUR TRAINING A CLEAR DIRECTION.

Maybe you've been training for a while but you're not really getting any stronger. You're lifting roughly the same weights, certain exercises never seem to improve, or you're simply not sure what you need to change. Or perhaps strength is a new goal and you want to learn how to train properly from the start. We'll look at what you're doing now, where you're getting stuck and what you want to improve, then build your training around getting you there.

WHY YOU'RE NOT GETTING STRONGER

If you've been training consistently but your strength isn't improving, the answer isn't always to train harder. Sometimes it's technique, lack of progression, a weak point or simply a programme that needs more structure. We'll work out what's actually holding you back and focus your training on improving it, rather than changing everything without knowing why.

TRAINING WITH A PLAN

We'll decide which movements matter to you and build your programme around them. That might mean improving your squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press or pull-ups, or simply becoming stronger overall. We'll combine the main lifts with exercises chosen to support them, while keeping track of your weights, repetitions and progress. You'll know what you're working on and why.

TECHNIQUE & PROGRESSION

Good technique can make a big difference to your strength. I'll watch how you move, particularly as the weight gets heavier, and make adjustments to your setup, positioning and technique where needed. We'll gradually progress your training through weight, repetitions and better execution. If a particular part of a lift is holding you back, we'll work on it rather than simply adding more weight. Progress should be something you can see and measure.

TRAIN HARD, RECOVER & GET STRONGER

I want you to train hard, but there's no benefit in leaving every session completely exhausted just to feel like you've worked. We'll find the right balance between training and recovery based on your experience, schedule and what you're doing outside our sessions. If you're also training independently, we'll make sure everything works together. Training should challenge you, but it should also be getting you somewhere.

NEW TO STRENGTH TRAINING?

If you're new to strength or weight training, that's absolutely fine. I'll teach you how to use the equipment, perform the exercises properly and understand when you're ready to progress. We'll start at the right level and gradually build your strength and confidence. I want you to learn how to train, not simply follow a workout without understanding it.
