About

Hard work is easy.
Hard work in the right dose is not

Anyone can leave you exhausted. The useful part is knowing how much effort is worth it today, and what has to come after it.

How it works

Four steps, start to finish

From the first conversation to the regular reviews, nothing is left to chance.

  1. Step 1: Listening first

    What you want, what you have tried before, what put you off, and what you can realistically fit in.

  2. Step 2: A plan you understand

    Each session has a purpose, and you know what it is. Nothing is in the plan without a reason.

  3. Step 3: Correction in the moment

    Position, breathing, tempo, range: details get fixed as they happen, not weeks later.

  4. Step 4: Adjustment over time

    Tired week, busy period, a niggle: the plan bends rather than breaks, and you keep moving forward.

The philosophy

Intense, never reckless

Intensity is a tool, not a personality.

  • Honesty about the starting point

    No judgement about your level, and no pretending the road is shorter than it is.

  • Consistency over heroics

    A session you can repeat next week is worth more than one that leaves you unable to move.

  • You in charge

    You learn why things work, so you can keep training well when you are on your own.

What you can expect

  • A clear starting point, with no judgement about your current level.
  • Sessions planned around the week you actually have.
  • Recovery written into the plan rather than left to chance.
  • Adjustments based on your feedback, not on a fixed script.

What you will not find

  • Sessions designed to leave you broken for the sake of it.
  • Sweat treated as the only proof a session worked.
  • Promises of overnight transformation.
  • Medical advice: for anything health related, your GP remains the right person to ask.

A session is good when it leaves you able to train again, not when it leaves you broken.

Values

What the dosing rests on

Four things that do not change from one person to the next.

  • Precision

    Effort is chosen on purpose, session by session.

  • Recovery

    Rest is planned work, not an afterthought.

  • Honesty

    If you are not recovered, we say so and change the session.

  • Restraint

    Stopping a set early is sometimes the most useful decision of the day.

Ways to train

Several formats, the same care

The format changes. The attention you get does not.

  • In person

    One-to-one sessions in a gym, at home where there is space, or outdoors.

  • Online

    Live one-to-one sessions by video, guided from start to finish, with whatever equipment you have.

  • Remote programme

    A written programme you follow in your own time, reviewed regularly against how it is going.

A first conversation costs you nothing but a little time, and it makes the direction clear.
