Sessions
I specialise in teaching free-weight centred strength training. Free weights are one of the most effective tools we have for building strength, particularly when movements are introduced progressively and adapted to the individual.
This work suits people who are curious about developing free-weight movements, whether you’re completely new, returning after a break, or looking to deepen your practice in a supportive environment.
Sessions are shaped around your experience, goals, and current capacity, and may begin with bodyweight or dumbbell based exercises before progressing towards barbell lifts where appropriate.
Sessions are one hour long and designed to meet you where you are, with progression guided live. I always take time to explain movement choices, progressions, and training principles so sessions feel collaborative.
Session format
Warming up
We begin with a gradual warm-up to prepare joints, muscles, and the nervous system. This may include light cardio movements, mobility work, and build-up sets.
Strength work
The main part of the session focuses on whole-body strength, often using squat, hinge, push, and pull patterns, as well as core work. These form the foundation of training and are introduced progressively using bodyweight, dumbbells, or barbells depending on experience and readiness.
Cooling down
Sessions finish with a brief cool-down, allowing time to decompress, check in, and reflect on how the session felt.
How often you train can look different from person to person, and there’s no single approach that works for everyone. From a physiological perspective, training two to three times per week supports the most consistent progress. That said, life changes, energy fluctuates, and training has to exist alongside everything else.
Showing up for yourself can look different from week to week. Rest, pauses in training, and changing priorities are all part of a sustainable relationship with strength. We can work together to find an approach that feels realistic, supportive, and sustainable.
