You have been here before

No idea where to start

Let's be honest, this part is overwhelming. Getting started is hard enough, without trying to figure out what to do at the same time. Gyms can be scary, dieting can be confusing, which only makes it even harder.

You cannot do it alone

It's hard enough as it is, without having to try to keep yourself accountable at the same time. Which is a large part of my job - not only helping you with your training and nutrition, but holding you accountable to do it.

You have lost it and regained it

I don't want you to start something, work hard to get there, and then months down the line have to start over again. My goal with all my clients is to help them get where they want to get to, and stay there.

The honest bit

The problem was never you

It was the plan. Most plans are built for someone with no job, no kids and no life. Of course you could not stick to it. Nobody could.

What actually works is a lot less dramatic than the internet would have you believe. Eating enough of the right things. Moving in a way you do not dread. Training two or three times a week, properly. Then repeating it long enough for it to stop feeling like effort and start feeling like who you are.

That is what I coach. Not a 30 day blitz you will abandon by week three, but a way of living you can still be doing in five years, and probably will be.

How it works

Getting started is simple

Step 01

Have a chat

We hop on a quick call, talk through your goals and the different coaching options to find one that would suit you best.

Step 02

Get a plan that fits your life

Once we have, this is where I start building your personalised plan. From training to your nutrition, based on everything we have spoken about, to suit you and your goals.

Step 03

Get going & keep going

From here your coaching starts. We will have check-ins, catch-ups and progress tracking to make sure you're happy and moving in the direction you want to be going.

Questions

Things people ask

How much does it cost?

It depends which programme suits you, so I would rather talk it through than quote you a number that might be for the wrong thing. What I will say is that nobody gets pressured on that call. You will know exactly what it costs and exactly what you get before you decide anything, and you are completely free to say it is not for you.

I am really unfit. Will I be able to keep up?

Yes. I start people exactly where they are, and where they are is usually further back than they admit. There is no minimum fitness level and nobody is watching you. Most of my clients came to me having done nothing for years.

Do I have to give up the food I like?

No. Any plan that bans everything you enjoy is a plan you will quit, so I do not build them. We work out how the food you like fits into the results you want. It usually fits better than you would expect.

I have tried this before and it did not stick. Why would this be different?

Because last time you probably had a plan. This time you get a coach. Somebody who adjusts things when your week falls apart, notices when you go quiet, and is still there in month six when the initial motivation has worn off.

How quickly will I see results?

Most people feel different before they look different: more energy, sleeping better, less achy getting off the sofa. Visible change takes longer and depends on your starting point, which I will be straight with you about on the call.

What if I can only train once or twice a week?

Then we build a plan for once or twice a week. Consistently doing a little is worth far more than occasionally doing a lot.

How do I start?

Book a free call, or come and try a session with no obligation. Both take about a minute to arrange and neither commits you to anything.

Where are you based?

I coach in person at Energize Fitness, 52 Chatsworth Road, Harrogate HG1 5HS, and work with online clients anywhere in the UK.
