Our Approach
We we have put together a simple system,
to ensure best possible Return of Investment of your time & effort
Movement Patterns
Instead of focusing on individual exercises, we focus on movement patterns.
By covering all of them, you naturally work all the major muscles and joints, giving you the best Return on Investment (ROI):
-
Knee Bend – Using quads, glutes & stabilisers.
-
Hip Hinge – Using hamstrings, glutes & lower back.
-
Horizontal Push – Using chest, shoulders & triceps.
-
Horizontal Pull – Lats, rhomboids, back shoulders & biceps.
-
Vertical Push – Using shoulders & triceps.
-
Vertical Pull – Using lats, rhomboids & biceps.
Depend on how regularly you're training, most individuals will be 1-3 times weekly, this approach will maximise the ROI. However, if you're training two days after each other, we'll manage the load & stress differently in each session, to allow adaptation & adequate recovery, so the chance for injuries are low.
We have plenty of different movements/exercises under each movement pattern, with different challenges for you & your body, that will strengthen you differently, depending on your needs.
Exercise Selection
When we start our partnership, we begin with a clean canvas.
From day one, you earn the right to progress into more challenging movements.
Based on your goals, strengths, and weaknesses, we select the movements that best suit your needs at that moment.
Progression isn’t always about lifting heavier weights.
Sometimes we add load, other times, we change how the load is applied, requiring more stability, control, or coordination. This can be done with specific tempo, added paused or stops within the movement.
When we progress exercises through exercise selection and stability demands, our methods is as following:
-
Stable – Two Extremities
-
Unstable – Two Extremities
-
Stable – One Extremity
-
Unstable – One Extremity
Creating instability doesn’t mean being unsafe, it means being intentional & work smarter.
Examples of instability:
-
Holding one dumbbell instead of two
-
Changing from a static movement to a dynamic one
-
Altering body position to challenge balance and control
Every progression is purposeful. Every change has a reason.
The goal isn’t just to lift more, it’s to move better, become stronger, live more & with plenty of enjoyment.
We want you to stay Younger for Longer!
Progressive Overload
We will never ask you to perform movements or lift loads that we don’t believe you’re capable of. That said, while we can assess your movement quality and technique, we can’t feel what you are feeling.
This is why clear communication and alignment are essential throughout our training.
We begin every coaching relationship with a Clean Canvas. From there, you earn the right to progress, both in Exercise Selection and Load.
Progression always follows the principle of Progressive Overload.
Your body adapts to the stress placed upon it, but when progression happens in steps that are too big or too fast, the risk of injury increases.
Our role is to challenge you, but only within your progression zone.
This means:
-
Enough stimulus to drive improvement and increase strength
-
Enough control to maintain high-quality movement
-
Enough awareness and confidence in technique to minimise injury risk
-
Maximising your return on investment (ROI) from every session
-
Keeping you engaged, focused, and progressing with purpose
