The method
Assess. Program. Progress.
Three racks, a turf lane, and honest numbers logged session to session. Here is how the room works.
The coach
I learned coaching by rebuilding my own training from scratch.
A decade of competitive rowing left old aches in my back, shoulder and both knees. What actually got me moving well again was not more rest. It was getting strong properly, under a bar, with someone watching the technique.
That is the coach you get: someone who assumes you have history, programs around it without drama, and thinks “it feels fine” is the start of the conversation, not the end of it.
First month
How the work actually starts.
The assessment
Free, 45 minutes. How you move, what you have tried, where you are going. You leave with a plan, not a sales pitch.
The starting program
Built from the assessment, not a template. The first block is deliberately conservative while your coach learns how you respond to load.
The week-four review
Numbers logged, form checked against week one, program adjusted. This is the meeting most gyms skip.
Training rules
Four things every program in the room obeys.
Load waits for technique. Always. The bar does not care how motivated you are.
Small numbers, added relentlessly. Strength is compound interest with a barbell.
Everything is logged and compared, session to session. Feelings lie; the log book does not.
The program fits your life or it fails. Three honest sessions beat six imaginary ones.
Feelings lie. The log book does not.
Everything is logged and compared, session to session, by the same coach.

The assessment costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Worst case, you leave with a clearer picture of your own strength.
