Strength coach in Manchester. Barbells, boring programmes, people who thought they had left it too late.

First session, no charge

Forty-five minutes to find out whether we should work together at all. We go through what you have done before, what hurts, and what you actually want out of this, then you lift something light so I can watch you move. Nobody is sold anything at the end. About a third of the people who book this get sent somewhere more appropriate and that is a fine outcome.

One to one

An hour on the platform with me watching every rep. Most people book these weekly for the first two months while the technique settles, then drop to fortnightly and run their own sessions in between off a programme I write. If you have a competition in mind we will work backwards from the date rather than train hard and hope.

Small group, four people

Four people, one hour, everyone on their own programme with me moving between platforms. It is cheaper than a one to one and better than training alone, and the four of you will end up shouting at each other in a way that turns out to matter more than anything I do. Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Saturday mornings.

Lifting belt

Ten millimetres of vegetable-tanned leather, one prong, single width all the way round rather than tapered at the front. It will be stiff and uncomfortable for about six weeks and then it will be the last belt you buy. You do not need one to start and I will tell you when you do, which for most people is somewhere north of a bodyweight squat.

Twelve-week programme

The block I write for anyone who cannot get to the gym twice a week with me. Three sessions, squat, press and pull, with the weights worked out from wherever you are starting rather than from a percentage of a max you have never tested. A PDF and a spreadsheet, and an email address that reaches me if a week of it stops making sense.

The gym is on the ground floor with a ramp and a lift, and there is a bench by the door if stairs are the thing stopping you. Sessions run from six in the morning. If you cancel with more than twelve hours notice it costs nothing.
