Online Strength Training Programme 

Not at all. Our programme is designed for all levels, with alternate options for most main exercises. Don’t worry if you aren’t familiar with the movements - there are easy to follow instructional videos, with Kate demonstrating the movement and James talking you through it step by step. We teach you exactly how to do it properly and you can send through video form checks and questions to double check that you are getting things right. 

Yes, but ideally you will have some basic equipment at home including dumbbells, a bench, a bar, a TRX and/or some bands. If you are using a gym, you will need access to basic gym equipment like barbells, dumbbells and cables, but we have kept the equipment to a minimum so there are no specific machines required outside of what every gym will have.

You can choose between two to six strength workouts per week, all either upper body, lower body or full body depending on how many you want to do. There are also upper body and lower body accessory workouts if you want a more specific focus. You have access to all our previous workouts via the app.

Most workouts can be completed in 45–60 minutes, making it easy to fit training into a busy schedule. They are designed to include the most effective exercises to maximise your efficiency. The goal is to only do as much as you need to, so as not to make you horrendously sore or tired simply for the sake of it.

Our app lets you log your reps, weights, and send form videos, so you can see your strength improve week after week. Our app means that everything is in one place, so you can watch the video, do the exercise then record your weight and reps straight away. This gives you real time data, encouraging you with workout streaks and giving you set rest days each week.

We start off by learning the movements in week one, then week to week we tell you exactly when to increase your weight, reps or sets for each exercise. This increases until we are in week six where we are pushing as hard as we can. Week seven is then a deload week, giving ourselves a break and preparing for week eight.

Week 8 tests your strength with personal bests at 5-10 reps. The purpose of this week is to test your strength and make sure you are actually progressing over time by hitting personal bests. Note that this isn't 1 rep max testing (how much weight you can do for a single rep) as this isn't very useful and has a much higher injury risk. You'll be aiming to set personal bests somewhere between 5-10 reps on each exercise. If these are progressing every eight weeks then you are guaranteed to be getting stronger.

Absolutely. Our programme is built on resistance training principles that build muscle, strengthen bones, and improve quality of life. Proper progression is what is missing from most people’s workouts. We take care of this for you by giving you set progressions, removing any guesswork and pushing you further than you would push yourself. 

Absolutely — in fact, pairing resistance training with our nutrition programmes is highly recommended, especially if your goal is weight loss. Strength training while you are in a fat loss period ensures that you aren't losing any muscle at the same time.

The difference with our training programme is that we are right there with you supporting you the entire time. We look at the weight and reps that you log, and any comments you make on workouts. You can send us as many form check videos as you want and ask us questions at any time. After each workout you will get badges, fun animal weights depending on how much you lift, training streaks and achievements as you progress.
