How many sessions a week do I need?

Most people start with one or two one-to-one sessions a week and fill the rest of the week with small group sessions or their own training. We will give you a straight answer at your consultation based on your goal and your schedule, not on what we would like to sell.

Will I be the only person in the gym?

Usually you and your coach, and at most one other pair. The gym is never open to the public, so it is never busy in the way a commercial gym is.

I have never lifted a weight in my life. Is that a problem?

Not remotely. A significant share of our members had never touched a barbell before they started. The first few sessions are largely about teaching you movements properly at a light load.

Can I train with my partner or a friend?

Yes — semi-private sessions for two are popular, and they work out cheaper per person. Just mention it when you get in touch.

Trainers, something you can move in, and a water bottle. That is genuinely it.

Personal Training

One to one.No audience.

Our gym is not open to the public. Two coaches and two clients, maximum, which means you are actually coached for the full hour rather than left to get on with it.

The problem

Most people don't fail at training. They fail at the room.

You join somewhere big. It is busy at exactly the hour you can go. Half the machines are occupied and the other half you are not confident using. Somebody is waiting behind you, so you rush the set, then leave feeling like you did not really do anything.

Six weeks later nothing has changed, and the conclusion you draw is that you are the problem. You are not. That environment would defeat most people, and it defeats most people quietly.

The other version of this is subtler: you have trained for years, consistently, and your shape has not moved. That is almost never effort. It is load, technique and progression that nobody ever taught you.

How we do it

A private gym, and a coach who is watching every rep

Every session is booked, so the equipment you need is free when you arrive. There is no queue, no audience, and no waiting around while somebody films themselves on the rack you want.

The equipment was chosen deliberately: smooth, fully adjustable machines that let you reach a proper full muscle contraction. That is a large part of why results come faster here than they do elsewhere.

Your coach is with you throughout — correcting technique, setting the load, adjusting the tempo, and explaining why. You leave each session knowing something you did not know when you walked in.

What you get

Why one-to-one works

It is the fastest way to change shape, and by a distance the fastest way to get confident.

Technique taught properly

Correct form is not a nicety. It is the difference between a movement that builds muscle and one that just tires you out.

Load that actually progresses

Most people lift the same weight for years. Your coach manages progression so the stimulus keeps up with you.

Programmes built around you

Your history, your injuries, your schedule and your goal. Not a template with your name typed at the top.

Complete privacy

Nobody is watching, and nobody is waiting. For a lot of our members this is the entire reason they finally started.

Adapted for pain and injury

Between the team we cover injury rehabilitation, cardiac rehab, pain management, PCOS, endometriosis and the menopause.

Accountability that is real

Your coach knows your name, your goal and your last session. If you go quiet, you will hear from us.

In practice

What a session looks like

Roughly an hour, entirely coached, and never quite the same twice.

A warm-up matched to what you are about to do, not five minutes on a bike

Coached working sets with your form corrected as you go

Loads and reps recorded so progression is measured, not guessed

Technique explained, so you understand the why as well as the what

Nutrition questions answered as they come up

Regular measurement reviews, with photos if you want them
