The staff

The people you would actually be working with

Our practice brings together exercise professionals, an intern and administrative staff. Below is each person's role and the qualification they supplied, because a claim is only worth anything attached to a name.

You work with a planned coaching team.

The team model here is deliberate rather than a scheduling convenience. Assignments are planned, your coaches are chosen for complementary experience, and your program and your history are written down and shared between them.

The practical effect is that you are not starting the conversation again each session, and the work keeps moving when your goals, your schedule or your limitations change. Qualifications belong to individuals, so you will find each person's role and credential listed below rather than claimed for the group.

The trainers, and what each one studied

Who you work with depends on what you are training for. If you would rather work with a particular person, ask. It is a reasonable request and not an awkward one.

Why it matters to you

What the credential actually buys you

The worry that brings most people to a page like this one is specific: being handed a program nobody wrote for you, by someone who has never seen a body with a history like yours, and having your repetitions counted rather than your technique watched.

What answers that is not a credential on a wall. It is how the work is organised: assignments planned rather than improvised, your history and your program written down and shared, and coaches chosen for complementary experience. You should understand what you are doing and feel able to ask why. And when the honest answer is "see your physician first," you will be told that.

The training here is not harder. It does not need to be.
