INITIALLY
We will begin with some simple, strength, mobility and conditioning assessments.
If this is completely new to you, we will approach things slowly and focus on the basics until I/we feel you are ready to progress.
If you already have some training experience, we will start from where you and I feel you are comfortable.
We will work towards finding out what you do enjoy doing and do our best to avoid the things you don’t enjoy. I regularly meet people who see exercise as punishment and they don’t enjoy it. “Exercise”, “training”, “movement” should not be seen as a chore, it should be something you enjoy and look forward to.
We all enjoy learning, so long as what we learn interests us.
We will figure out your strengths whilst at the same time, find out your weaknesses. Only by working on your weaknesses, will you start making progress and notice the benefits.
2. your TRAINING
We will never use mindless machines. Your body is the most sophisticated machine ever created. Therefore we will use it for what it was designed for. We will predominantly be focusing on bodyweight training and will use free weights for Olympic lifts and barbell squats. Calisthenics, gymnastics, boxing, skipping, primal flow and many more useful and mindful skills and practices will all be addressed. We will prioritise form. Form before ego. Quality before quantity.
My aim is for you to understand how your body works and help you feel confident and comfortable with what you are doing, how to do it, when to do it, when not to do it, what muscles you are using, and how you should and should not be feeling during and after. It is all very well me “training” you once or twice a week, but what happens when I’m not there to show you?
We will avoid getting comfortable otherwise your body and your mind will switch off. It is essential you put the time in when we are not together. I promise you I will work as hard for you as you do for yourself.
3. MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
From the moment you arrive, my focus is 100% on you. Genuine lifestyle changes take time, commitment, patience, consistency, discipline and honest hard work. There is no such thing as a quick fix.
We will focus on progress and trust in the process rather than placing unnecessary pressure on results.
We will work to avoid any unnecessary injuries with our main focus and attention on Longevity. We will never practice anything you are uncomfortable with and always put safety first.
We will always keep things mentally and physically challenging, interesting and most of all, enjoyable.
