FAQ

Is Lift Coaching suitable for me?

Do you want to be stronger and more mobile? And do you want to see the impact this will have on your sport (or even just your day-to-day life)? If you’re serious about making the most of every minute you invest in your training, if you want to follow a programme designed specifically for your body and your goals, and if you want to educate and enjoy yourself along the way, then the simple answer is yes. Lift Coaching is for you.

What are your coaching qualifications?

I hold two degrees (MSc Strength and Conditioning, and BSc Sports Conditioning and Injury Management) and I’m a Level 3 Personal Trainer. I’ve worked as Head of Strength and Conditioning at Dean Close School for 5 years, as well as supporting athletes who are involved with Surfing England, Gloucester Rugby, Scotland Hockey, Wales Hockey and GB Duathlon, among others.

Do you only coach professional athletes?

No! I coach everybody from full-time professional athletes and youth athletes to weekend warriors, and even those who might not consider themselves athletes. Strength and Conditioning is for everybody — whatever your background or level of engagement in sport, your life can benefit hugely from increased strength and mobility.

What if I have an injury?

I can coach you, and help you on your rehab journey. As part of our initial consultation, I’ll make sure I know everything there is to know about your injury — which includes talking to your physiotherapist or sports therapist, if you are working with one. Nobody should settle for living with the pain or the reduced performance capability that comes with an injury. We’ll work systematically on your recovery, and gradually introduce more Strength and Conditioning work into your programme to bring you back stronger than ever — so you can get back to doing what you love, without pain.

What if I have limited time for training?

Not a problem. We’ll discuss how much time you can commit to training as part of your initial consultation, and I’ll design you a programme that you can realistically sustain alongside your other commitments. And remember — your training will be 100% individualised and constantly adapting, so if something else in your life changes, your training can too!

How much does Online Coaching cost?

£150 per four weeks.

Is there a minimum commitment for Online Coaching?

There is a minimum commitment of 12 weeks. I don’t believe in ‘quick fixes’, and neither do our bodies! In 12 weeks, we’d expect to start seeing profound results. This also allows me to teach you a wealth of training principles and exercises specific to your goals — so that even if you can only commit to 12 weeks, you’ll be in a great position to continue making your training count. Of course, most of my clients stay for much longer.

Can you coach me in-person?

I coach many athletes in-person. If you live near (or are willing to travel to) Cheltenham UK, then you could be one of them. Send me a message using the contact form at the bottom of this page, and we’ll arrange something.
