1:1 strength coaching for men and women 30+ in Mid Sussex

Get strong enough that everything else gets easier.

One to one strength coaching in a private gym in Cuckfield. You will learn how to lift properly, get measurably stronger over twelve weeks, and do it in an hour or two a week without living in a gym.

  • Complete beginners are the normal case here
  • One to one, private gym, nobody watching
  • One or two hours a week, not five

No cost, no obligation, no hard sell. I will only use these details to arrange your call.

You already know you should be doing this

That is not the problem. Almost everyone who contacts me worked out years ago that strength training matters, especially past thirty five, when the things that used to look after themselves quietly stop.

The problem is the gap between knowing and doing. Which exercises. How much weight. How many times. Whether that ache is normal or the start of something. Whether you are wasting an hour doing it slightly wrong.

So one of two things happens. Nothing, for another year. Or a burst of enthusiasm in January that ends in February, because nothing was building on anything and there was no way to tell whether it was working.

Neither of those is a discipline problem. Both are a coaching problem.

What is different here

Someone watching every rep, in a room with nobody else in it

Taught, not supervised

You are shown how each movement should feel and why it is in your plan. Technique gets corrected as you go rather than reinforced for months.

Built around your body

Old knee, stiff back, shoulder that objects overhead. The plan works around what you actually have rather than what a template assumes.

Progressed on purpose

Weight moves when you are ready for it. Sessions connect to each other, so you can see it working instead of hoping.

Illustrative. Progress comes quickly at first while you learn the movements, then settles into a steadier climb. It shows the pattern, not measured results.

The first twelve weeks

What you actually get

  • A full starting assessment. Goals, history, health screening and what your body can do right now. Everything after this is built on it.
  • One to one coached sessions in a private gym in Cuckfield, once or twice a week, around an hour each.
  • A programme written for you and rewritten as you progress, not a plan printed for everybody.
  • Technique taught from session one so you are not building strength on top of habits you will later have to undo.
  • Your numbers tracked so progress is something you can see rather than something you assume.
  • Straight answers between sessions when something comes up, from the person who wrote your plan.

Twelve weeks is the initial commitment because that is roughly how long it takes to learn the movements properly and get past early enthusiasm into real progress. After that, coaching continues for as long as it is useful to you.

My side of the deal

If I am not the right coach for you, I will say so

On the call I will tell you honestly whether I think I can help. If your situation needs a physio, a specialist or simply a different kind of coach, I will tell you that and point you somewhere better. That has cost me clients and it has never once cost me sleep.

There is no charge for the call, no obligation afterwards, and nobody will chase you. If it is not right, it is not right.

This is for you if

  • You are 30 or over and want to be stronger and more capable
  • You are new to lifting, or coming back after years away
  • You would rather be taught properly than guess
  • You can get to Cuckfield once or twice a week

This is not for you if

  • You want a six week crash transformation
  • You are an experienced lifter after advanced programming
  • You want treatment for a medical condition
  • You want to be shouted at until you feel sick

Questions people ask before booking

I have not trained properly in years. Am I too far behind?

No. That is the normal starting point here rather than the exception. Everything begins from what you can do today, and the first sessions are about learning the movements rather than testing you.

I am not a gym person. Will I feel out of place?

Sessions are one to one in a private gym, not on a busy gym floor. There is nobody watching and nobody waiting for equipment. Most people say this is the part that made it possible.

How much time does it actually take?

One or two sessions a week, around an hour each. That is the whole commitment. There is no expectation that you train five times a week or change your entire life around it.

I have an old injury. Can I still do this?

Usually yes, and it is worth telling me about it on the call. Your health is screened before you train and the plan works around what you tell me. Where something needs a GP or physio opinion, I will say so rather than guess.

What happens on the call?

Fifteen minutes or so. I ask what you want, what you have tried, and what your week looks like. You ask me anything. If I do not think I am the right fit, I will tell you and point you somewhere better.

What does it cost?

It depends whether you train once or twice a week. I will give you the exact numbers on the call so you can decide with the full picture. There is no charge for the call and no obligation afterwards.
