Coaching

Three ways to train with me

Every option starts the same way: a proper chat about your goals, your health and your week, so your training fits your life.

In person

1-to-1 Personal Training

Face-to-face sessions where I coach every rep. We build strength and functional fitness with good technique and steady progress, in sessions that fit into 45 to 60 minutes.

  • Every session planned around your goals
  • Technique coaching on every exercise
  • Weights and progress tracked every session

Functional & hybrid

Functional Fitness & Hyrox

Train the movements you use in real life with sleds, kettlebells, wall balls, carries and machines. Build fitness that makes everyday life easier, and get race-ready for Hyrox if you want to.

  • Real-life movements: squat, lunge, push, pull and carry
  • Strength and fitness in every session
  • Hyrox station technique and race preparation

Functional fitness

Strength you can use every day

Functional fitness means training the movements you use in real life. We train you to squat, bend, lunge, push, pull and carry well, so everyday jobs feel easier and you're less likely to get hurt.

Every programme I write is built around these movements, whether your goal is getting stronger, feeling fitter or racing Hyrox.

  • SquatGetting up from a chair, the sofa or the floor
  • HingePicking up a box, a bag or a child safely
  • LungeClimbing stairs and walking up hills
  • PushLifting things onto a high shelf
  • PullOpening heavy doors and pulling yourself up
  • CarryBringing in all the shopping in one trip

How it works

Rep by rep, from day one

Every client follows the same simple steps, so you know exactly what to expect before your first session.

  1. REP1

    Questionnaires

    Tell me about your goals, your lifestyle and your health. The health form (PAR-Q) makes sure training is safe for you.

  2. REP2

    Free consultation

    We meet face to face or on Zoom to talk through your goals, your training history and what has held you back before.

  3. REP3

    Free first session

    Try a full session with me, on the house. You'll see how I coach and get a feel for the training before you commit to anything.

  4. REP4

    Programme & check-ins

    You get a clear plan built around your week. Weekly check-ins keep you on track, and a monthly review shows how far you've come.

Start with Rep 1

Your consultation and first session are always free. No pressure and no jargon.

About

Hi, I'm Ben

I've been training for 12 years, from bodybuilding and strength training to functional and Hyrox-style hybrid training. After five years working night shifts as a telecoms engineer, I moved into fitness full time, because helping people get stronger is what I enjoy most.

Today I coach one-to-one clients and lead group sessions and fitness classes. My approach is simple: build strength you can use in everyday life, learn the basics properly and make steady progress you can see and feel.

Whether you're brand new to the gym or getting back into it after a break, I'll make sure you know what you're doing and why.
