The Strength and Mindset approach to personal training
Building confidence and skills before loads!
We are dedicated to creating a strength and conditioning programme that builds towards improving your physical performance markers (strength and cardio-vascular output, strength endurance, balance, skills, coordination, mobility, flexibility etc).
We don't jump into it head first - we have a very cautious approach, so please don't expect a 100kg loaded barbell on your first session or many after that.
Confidence comes from knowledge and having a strategic approach to lifting.
When you train with us, you will understand the why and how of lifting, making this perhaps one the best investments you will make towards your physical strength and mental resilience.
You’ll join for the personal training but you’ll get so much more from your membership

We care about you. Being part of a community where everybody knows you, means when you are not around for a while you are missed! We will surely notice if you are skipping your training and we will reach out, and maybe your friends from the studio too!
On the mindset and psychological front we maintain an open environment for mental support and discussions where we can pretty much talk about anything under the Sun. We make ourselves reachable and we keep an open line.

“One skip is an exception, the second time it becomes the habit.”
Being present at sessions even on days you don't feel 100% is a sign of resilience, but sending your brain the message that you are in this for the long run is not an easy task, especially with so many temptations!
One of the most common ones we hear about is overworking and very little self care. But just remember, next time you are in a situation of having to push yourself to one side for the benefit of your employer or business, you can give more and be more productive when you feel good about yourself, when you are healthy, confident, rested and strong!
-
We love data and numbers, so we work very hard towards progressively and safely planning the increase in your loads and improving your skills for you to be ready in time for the testing period!
We are not big fans of guess-work because it doesn't keep us safe, but also it doesn't tap into our real strength potential. And probably this one of the biggest difference that sets us apart from Personal Training.
Our members can record their performance progress via our app and we use that data to form future targets and comparisons, but also to set the intensity of present sessions. We like to quantify progress, so that you feel like you are working towards something challenging, but achievable!
The goal post will keep moving, but that is the beauty of the human body, there is an endless amount of skill and strength we can aim for!
-
No judgement allowed, just care and respect!
We offer transitional 1:1 sessions, for a period of time, to help you prepare for the small group sessions (4:1). Whether you feel you don't have the confidence yet or you feel you need to build a bit more strength to train with your peers, we will work on that together!
We provide a safe, non-judgemental, mirror-free space, and invite you to come as you are.

Personal Training FAQs
-
Talk to us to discuss your membership and the amount of training sessions you’d like to commit to (minimum of 4 per month/one per week). Once agreed we’ll set up a recurring monthly direct debit that goes out on the first of each month. You’ll then gain access to the app where you can book in your sessions up to 2 weeks in advance.
We do not provide ongoing personal training sessions as our members transition into the small group coaching sessions, where you’ll get all the benefits of personal training along with the supportive environment that comes with training alongside 3 other members.

Firstly - because it is private strength and conditioning coaching! It is not a large class, where risk of injury is high. You get dedicated time to train at your own pace and receive personalised feedback.
And secondly because we have truly invested in our education and experience for many years through achieving masters degree, weightlifting, gymnastics, cross-fit certifications and having taught powerlifting workshops. We continuously look to develop and evolve and we get taught by some of the best coaches in the industry.
