A 12-week training programme aimed at newbies, to build confidence, teach the fundamentals of safe exercise and build strong core foundations through fun and challenging exercise routines.
A strong core free from muscle imbalances is, in my opinion, key to preventing injury and reducing aches and pains in the body. I also believe that the greater the awareness of your body and ability to engage your mind during movement, the bigger the benefits and the greater the growth. Therefore, I have created (Fun)damentals to help people progress safely into exercise.

A 12-week training programme consisting of three phases with 3 x 1 hour sessions per week to challenge all areas of fitness in a safe and progressive manner. There are options to suit all schedules and budgets since this programme can be provided online via my mobile app, online via live zoom classes or in person at a location of your choice.

Frequently Asked Question
Find the answers to some of the most common questions below.
Ideally, the bare minimum to maximise the benefits of the programme, would be booty bands aka mini bands, resistance bands and some dumbbells (recommendations can be provided upon request). However, if you do not have any equipment and are not looking at investing in some, all programmes can be tailored what you have available.
Each programme can be tailored to your environment so whether you want to work out from home and need a low impact programme to avoid disturbing your neighbours, or you want to work out in a park and use the equipment available there, your programme can reflect this.
If you cannot make a session then providing at least 48hours notice period is given, your session can be moved to another day and time in the same month. Unfortunately refunds cannot be given for unspent sessions.
