A custom training plan will be developed and stored on your own app and login. Access exercise tutorials, walkthrough. Track progress and results. Leave feedback and training videos for coaching support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef496456a1d612029d5dea0/1610293133570-GPJD98CQ1DOBRIY40CT2/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2021-01-09%2Bat%2B16.48.33.jpg HOW IT WORKS - Swim/Bike/Run? Whether you want to run an Ironman or compete as a Strongman your engine matters. Ability to perform, ability to recover, ability to go again. Your fitness plays a role. Gone are the days where 5 reps were considered cardio. A personalised fitness/conditioning plan with a mixture of what you enjoy and what you need. Be fit, be prepared, be ready for anything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef496456a1d612029d5dea0/1594827372572-4GALNUE5F0LXSFSL4W1U/Screen%252BShot%252B2020-07-15%252Bat%252B16.33.57.jpg HOW IT WORKS Nutrition Support You don’t have to live like a monk to still see change. Life is about balance. It’s about having what you enjoy, mixed with what you need. If you are in the depths of competition prep there will be sacrifices and restrictions. However, day to day our training and performance goals should be holistically rounded to how we enjoy living. We will work together to develop a nutrition strategy that suits your lifestyle, your goals and you commitment to speed of change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef496456a1d612029d5dea0/1594824928906-GXA92J26YI4EWZBMCUQF/60515264_10156458662148182_2235878593257275392_o.jpg HOW IT WORKS - Mindset/Reflection Self reflection is crucial and embedded in the process. What have I done well? What can I do better? Finding areas to improve, develop and tweak an extra 1% from. Building upon your strengths, developing your foundations, finding marginal gains. We do not learn from experience - we learn from reflection of that experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef496456a1d612029d5dea0/1594826960145-WPTSFA0EH00HZQURPQB8/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2020-07-15%2Bat%2B16.28.08.jpg HOW IT WORKS Results/Progress I believe in walking the walk not just talking the talk. I have been in the competitive arena, I know what it takes to win, I know how it feels to lose. No-one can promise a result, especially in a competitive environment but I can promise the best chance of success. Progress, improvement, personal development - these are all things that can be promised if you invest in the process with me. Goals that we set will be realistic and achievable even if you don’t believe in them to begin with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef496456a1d612029d5dea0/1594827631047-7PBS8SC14CN597H9KNPG/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-07-15%2Bat%2B16.39.01.jpg HOW IT WORKS In Person Option If 121 training is what you’re looking for I also offer this at my Worcester training facilities. My training gyms are custom built facilities for strength and conditioning with a focus on athletic improvement and development. Prices available on request and can be used as a once a month “tune up” or more frequent training option. https://thebendingbarbell.com/classes-1 daily 0.75 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdae76bd7819e38bb6f256f/1559680584642-1V92PAJAKX63LS9RGGN4/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_934908.jpg Classes - Pull Your Weight I Mon, Thurs 12pm – 12:45pm Sat 11am – 11:45am By combining battle ropes, pulleys, and rope climbing, this beginner level class will help you grow muscle, build endurance, and put your metabolism to work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdae76bd7819e38bb6f256f/1559681810036-QVJLRUVER46SR7I26CFC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_934918.jpg Classes - Village Obstacle Course I Tue, Thurs 5pm - 6pm Sat 9am - 10am Here, we combine free weights with squats, lunges, and high-interval exercises so that you can build strength according to your own body type and goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdae76bd7819e38bb6f256f/1559681842712-7ZK1FN8MHX1BZN8X4IOH/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_934898.jpg Classes - Strength & Cardio Circuit Mon, Wed, Fri 1pm - 1:45pm Welcome to your perfect lunch break workout.

I see so much coaching that is more the equivalent of a lifeguard, just reading reps and sets whilst making sure you don’t drown… For me - it’s about teaching you, it’s about you understanding the WHY. From new ways of thinking about your squat to finding the right way of deadlifting for your limb length, everything is custom to you. Competence and consistency creates confidence and that’s what we will do with me stood beside you taking you through each and every rep and set. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef496456a1d612029d5dea0/1594825310222-RG9X0BKCKGYV9UO47IO6/WhatsApp+Image+2020-07-15+at+16.00.17.jpeg IN-PERSON - Fitness/Conditioning Whether you want to run an Ironman or compete as a Strongman your engine matters.

You push harder for each other, feel supported, feel valued and your effort never goes unnoticed. It’s important to me that my clients have an ability to interact, to share their journeys, to support each other. Be part of something bigger than just your own journey.
