What to expect

What your sessions will include

Your first session is an initial consultation. Toby will take the time to understand your goals, your training history and any injuries or conditions, and assess your movement and current physical capacity before building your programme.

  1. Initial consultation and assessment

    A full discussion of your goals plus an assessment of your movement, strength and current capacity, so your programme starts in the right place.

  2. A programme built around you

    Individualised exercise selection, loading and progression, matched to your goals and your ability.

  3. Coaching on technique

    Hands-on coaching and feedback on every movement, so you train safely, effectively and with confidence.

  4. Progression and review

    Your programme is reviewed and progressed as you get stronger, so you keep moving towards your goal rather than standing still.
