Personal Training and Online Coaching.
Whether you train at the gym or from home, every program is based on simplicity and progression. If you’re building muscle, wanting to move without pain, staying consistent, or just feeling better day to day, you’ll have the tools and habits to do so. With me, in person or online, you’re supported by someone that genuinely cares and wants to see you achieve sustainable results.

Personal training and online coaching with a human

You’ll be coached by me, an actual human being, not AI. I would like to put the ‘personal’ back in personal training, as human connection is what matters most to people.

My coaching is based on proven methods used by experts, alongside approaches I have found effective. I focus on creating programming that is straightforward to follow, helping you build sustainable habits that lead to steady, long term progress.

An explanation of how my programs work

Training runs in phases (typically four weeks), each with a focus on progressive overload, tempo changes, and different set and rep ranges. Rest and deload weeks are also part of sustainable progress, which are accounted for in your plan.

Progressive overload: difficulty increases gradually through heavier weights or more reps so you avoid plateaus and keep progressing.

Tempo: this is another tool to use when strength is plateauing; slowing down, pausing and adding partial reps.

Repetition: key movements are repeated so you can improve technique, and develop strength and muscle over time.

Recovery: rest and de-load weeks are there to help you rest.

Calories: adjusted based on your current phase and your overall goals.

Phase to phase progression: each phase builds on the last. We can modify your program should your needs and goals change.

Bringing all of this together, bfg.coaching will:

  • Give you direction with your training and a person (me) to keep you on track

  • Be a safe place for everyone, and have you feeling strong and confident in the gym and comfortable being yourself

  • Provide a routine that suits you and helps with consistency

  • An empathetic coach who cares and makes it personal

The way I coach is about consistency and accountability, and I am here to support you along the way.
