The coaching approach

Planned. Coached.
Progressed.

The point of coaching is that someone is thinking about your training between sessions as well as during them. This is how that works.

The coaching system

Programme. Coach. Track. Adapt.

One connected coaching system. Individual programming applies to both Small Group Training and Personal Training; human judgement guides how the plan develops.

  • Programme

    Training built around your goals, ability and individual requirements.

  • Coach

    Every gym session supervised by a coach who understands your programme.

  • Track

    Training performance recorded to provide objective evidence of progress.

  • Adapt

    Programming evolves as performance, capability and requirements change.

Starting point

Starting from where you are

Before anything is programmed we go through what you want to achieve, how you have trained before, what you are doing now, how you move, and how much time you realistically have. That conversation sets the starting point, and it is the reason two people with the same goal do not necessarily get the same programme.

Programme

Programming in blocks

Training is organised into blocks of work with a purpose, rather than a different session every time you turn up. A block develops something specific; the next one builds on what the last one produced.

When a new block starts, exercises can change while the purpose of the training stays the same — a different way of training the same quality, not a random reshuffle.

Exercise selection

Exercise selection

Exercises are chosen because they do a job in your programme and because you can perform them well. Where a movement does not suit you — your training history, the range of movement you have available, how you are recovering — we select an alternative that trains the same quality.

Having a varied facility is what makes that possible in practice. See the facility.

Coach

Coaching in the session

A coach is with you while you train: setting the work up, watching how each set actually goes, cueing position and correcting technique between sets, and changing the load or the exercise when the session calls for it. In small-group sessions the six-person cap is what protects that attention.

Track & adapt

Progression and adaptation

Progression is planned rather than assumed. Loading, volume and difficulty are decided deliberately, and what you did in the last block informs what comes next — which sometimes means consolidating what you have built or easing off, not only adding weight.

Programmes also adapt around the rest of your life — the time you have, and how well you are recovering.

Scope

Where coaching stops

This is coaching, not medical care. We do not diagnose or treat injuries or medical conditions, and nothing here is medical advice. If you have a health condition, an injury or symptoms, speak to a qualified healthcare professional — we are happy to work alongside advice you have been given.
