Ready for progress?

The twelve-week transformation program. One-on-one sessions with nutrition check-ins and progress tracking, built from your first assessment.

  1. Week 1

    Free assessment. Training history, a movement screen and a baseline we can measure against later.

  2. Weeks 2 to 4

    Technique and consistency. Loads you can control and a routine that fits your week.

  3. Weeks 5 to 8

    More work. The load goes up where the movement holds, and nutrition check-ins keep it moving.

  4. Weeks 9 to 12

    Strength you keep. We test where you started and plan the block that comes next.

What the coaching includes

  • Programming written for you

    Your block is written for your goals, the equipment you have and the days you can actually train.

  • Every set watched

    One client at a time in the studio, so a rep that goes wrong gets fixed before the next one.

  • Nutrition check-ins

    Calories and protein set to what your training is doing, then reviewed as the weeks go by.

  • Progress tracking

    Numbers that move, written down. When something stalls we change the plan rather than the story.

The first assessment is free.

Book an hour in the studio. We go through your history, screen how you move and set a baseline. You leave knowing what the first block looks like.
