Do more, perform better and keep injuries at bay with improved strength, power and mobility.
Choose a coaching package to help a friend, a family member or yourself break on through to the next level in a goal activity – whether that’s a sport, an adventure, an occupational task or just being all-round fitter for life. Strength helps you beat the ‘two steps forward, one step back’ rut that comes from recurring injuries and niggles.
I train people a little differently.
There’s no cookie-cutter ‘one-program-fits-all’ solution. It’s your body. You should learn what’s going on with it, how it works, and understand what to do to make it perform at its best. I’m just here to help.
Gym or no gym, with equipment or without, you train alone, with a group or a partner – there’s always a program to suit your situation and resources.
ASSESS ME
This package identifies what you need to work on, gives you a customized program with instructions, then off you go and do it yourself. The first part of this package is a detailed in-person strength and mobility assessment relevant to your activity. Drills and exercises are then suggested in a program that will fit in with your training schedule. This is demonstrated in a brief follow-up session or with online resources. Revisions recommended every 6-8 weeks.
Best for: People serious about improving their performance; they are free from major injury, they have some familiarity with some strength training and are comfortable doing this training on their own.
Format: 1 X in-person session of 60-75 minutes + program + follow-up 30 min. session (or online) to demonstrate drills, exercises.
Price: $165
GUIDE ME
This is the kickstarter for people who need a hand working out what strength & power training is right for them and some instruction on how to do it.
