The problem
You already know how to train. You do not know how to programme.
You can squat, bench, deadlift, and press. You show up three days a week. You have done this for months, possibly years. And your numbers have not moved in a long time.
The lifts are not the problem. The programming is. You are guessing at load selection, guessing at progression, and guessing at when to push and when to back off. Guessing is not a training methodology.
Structured programming removes the guesswork. It tells you exactly what weight to put on the bar, when to add more, and what to do when progression stalls.
Without a structured programme, consistent training produces maintenance at best and overuse injury at worst.
What you get
Coaching, community, structure
Structured programming
Three, four, or five training days per week built around squat, bench press, deadlift, and press. Separate templates for men and women.
Weekly group coaching
30-minute call every Wednesday at 7pm. Stall troubleshooting, technique principles, and programming decisions coached live. Recorded if you miss it.
Community and tracking
Training logs, progress tracking, peer accountability, and direct access to coaching answers between calls via the members community.
What this is not
The line between group and one-to-one
No individual programming
Your programme follows the same progression model as every other member.
Individual programming: Foundation Online, £119/month
No video analysis
The group call covers technique principles, not individual form checks.
Weekly video analysis: Signature, £239/month
No nutrition oversight
What you eat is your responsibility at this tier.

The structure
How the programme runs
Weeks 1–4
Fundamentals
You add weight to the bar every session. The programme tells you exactly how much. You build the habit and establish your baseline numbers.
Weeks 5–8
Linear progression
Weight climbs steadily as your body adapts. The programme manages load selection and progression for you.
Weeks 9–12
Periodisation
The programme shifts to structured weekly variation, then rotates to a new block. Membership continues automatically.
