Sound like you?

Who it suits

Honestly? Most of my online clients sound the same at the start: busy, juggling shifts or commutes or kids, a bit fed up of starting over, and wanting someone to just tell them what to do and check they've done it.

I built this around exactly that, because I trained through years of shift work and a monster commute myself. If your week is chaos, your plan shouldn't be.

The honest answer

Why pay a coach rather than download a plan?

A plan is the smallest part of this. You can take a good one from this site for free right now, and it will work if you follow it. What a plan cannot do is notice when you have stopped following it, or work out why the scale has stalled in week six, or tell you at 9pm on a Wednesday whether to eat the thing. That is what you pay for.

The difference, plainly

  • Written for you, after we have spoken. Your gym, your days, your injuries, your goal. Not a template with your name typed at the top
  • Read every week by me. I cap my online client numbers so I can read every check-in and every log myself. No bot, no assistant
  • Changed as you change. The food moves, the programme moves, the plan keeps progressing instead of repeating
  • Someone to answer. Form checks, wobbles, wins. The gap between check-ins is where most people come unstuck, so I am in it
  • Built by someone who has done it. Seventeen times on stage, dieted down and eaten up on purpose. I know both halves from the inside

If you want the longer version, read is online personal training worth it, and how to choose an online personal trainer, then ask me the same questions on the call.

Your choice

Online vs in person

In-person training with me at UltraFlex Durham is the fastest way to nail technique, and some women simply love the appointment in the diary. Online gives you flexibility, your own gym, and a lower price point, with the same programming and the same me in your corner. Plenty of my clients mix the two. There's no wrong answer, and the consult call is exactly where we figure out your right one.

Price

What it costs, and how to start

One monthly fee for the programme, the nutrition, the weekly check-in and the messages, with no extras bolted on afterwards. I give you the exact figure on the free consultation call once I know what you need, because general coaching and competition prep are different amounts of work. There is no hard sell on the call. What online coaching costs in the UK, and what should be included, is written up here.

To start: send an enquiry, I come back to you personally, we book a call, and if it is the right fit your plan is in your app within days.

Before you book

Common worries, answered

Will I actually stick to it without you there?

That's what the weekly check-in is for. Knowing I'm looking at your week is a remarkable motivator, and I'm lovely about it right up until you need me not to be.

My gym is tiny.

I programme around whatever kit you have, including a home setup or a hotel gym when you travel.

I'm a complete beginner.

Perfect. Every exercise comes with a video demo, and you can send me clips of your lifts for feedback. Beginners often progress fastest, because we build it right from day one.

How does online coaching work?

You get a training programme built around your goals delivered through the Trainerize app, nutrition targets, weekly check-ins reviewing your progress photos and numbers, and video technique analysis of your lifts. Everything is adjusted week to week based on your feedback.

Is online coaching cheaper than personal training?

Yes. Online coaching typically costs a fraction of weekly in-person sessions while still including full programming, nutrition guidance and weekly accountability. Exact pricing is discussed on a free consultation.

Do I need gym experience for online coaching?

Some confidence in a gym helps, because nobody is standing next to you correcting your position in real time. Every exercise comes with demonstration videos and notes, and technique is reviewed through the videos you send each week. Complete beginners often start with in-person sessions first.

Can I do online coaching if I train at home?

Yes, provided you have some equipment. Programmes can be built around dumbbells and a bench, though a gym gives far more options for building lower body strength and shape.

How long is the commitment?

Online coaching starts with an initial three month commitment paid monthly in advance, then continues on a rolling monthly basis with 30 days notice to cancel. Three months is the realistic minimum for meaningful physique change.
