COACHING BUILT AROUND YOU —

YOUR LIFE.
YOUR REASONS.

Maybe you want to keep enjoying sport, hiking or cycling. Maybe you'd like more strength and energy for everyday life, or you're ready to make training a regular part of your week again.

Whatever brings you here, we'll start with your goals and experience, then build a plan that helps you move forward.

You don't need to be fit before you start. That's what the coaching is for.

ONE-TO-ONE SESSIONS —

TRAINING THAT FITS YOU.

You'll have my attention throughout every session. We'll work on building strength and fitness, with clear coaching, the right level of challenge and progress you can build on.

Exercises and sessions can be adapted to your experience, how you're moving and what you enjoy. The aim is to make training effective and sustainable, not to push through a fixed routine at all costs.

Over the years, I've worked with plenty of people managing the odd niggle, whether that's a troublesome knee, a cranky back or something else.

I'm used to adapting exercises and finding ways to keep people training and making progress, while working alongside advice from a physio where appropriate.

HOW IT WORKS —

STRAIGHTFORWARD FROM THE START.

01Let's have a conversation

Tell me what you enjoy doing, what you'd like to improve and how training could fit into your week.

02We'll make a plan

I'll build your sessions around your goals, experience and what you're comfortable with.

03Train, adapt, progress

We'll build strength and fitness steadily, adjusting your training as you progress and life changes.

WHO I WORK WITH —

GET MORE OUT OF AN ACTIVE LIFE.

I work mainly with people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. Some are active already and want to keep doing more. Others are rediscovering the enjoyment of being strong and fit.

We might be working towards a sport or personal challenge, feeling stronger in daily life, or having the fitness to enjoy more time outdoors with family and friends.

Different starting points. The same idea: strength should make life outside the gym better.

MY APPROACH

NO FADS. JUST GOOD COACHING.

We'll train with purpose, progress steadily and make adjustments that work for your body and your life.

Over 20 years' coaching experience.

THE STUDIO —

YOUR TIME. YOUR TRAINING.

Sessions take place in my private Chester studio, away from the distractions of a busy gym. It's a space to focus on your own training and make the most of our time together.

We'll work on the combination of strength, movement and fitness that makes sense for you.

Regular one-to-one appointments are subject to availability.
