Built by me, every month — ~15 years spent on bodies just like yours.

Why most programmes fail you

Generic training wasn't built for you

If your body has mileage on it and you're carrying old injuries, the off-the-shelf approach doesn't just under-deliver — it puts you at risk.

Wrong pace

One size fits no one

Generic programmes don't account for years of wear, old injuries, or the restrictions you actually train around.

No accountability

Nobody's watching

You follow a plan from a faceless app. Nobody knows whether you're getting better — or quietly getting worse.

Injury risk

Built to re-injure

Programmes that don't respect your restrictions lead straight back to the pain you were trying to fix.

Honest about fit

This isn't for everyone — and that's the point

I'd rather turn you away than sell you something that won't help. Here's who this works for.

Apply if you…

  • Have a body with mileage and are serious about getting stronger
  • Have old injuries or chronic pain to train around
  • Want to train in a way that respects your body
  • Are willing to invest in your health and your future

Don't apply if you…

  • Want a quick fix or a 30-day transformation
  • Aren't committed to consistent training
  • Expect to get stronger without ever being challenged

Who you'll be training with

Meet James

For ~15 years I've worked with bodies that carry some mileage — including people who'd lived with injuries for decades and been told to simply put up with them.

My focus is the quiet, important work: muscle imbalances, stability, control, and movement that holds up in real life. Old knees, stiff shoulders, stubborn lower backs — I train around them, not in spite of them, until moving feels like something your body wants rather than dreads. Functional training that earns its place.

Fully qualified & insured ~15 years' experience Injury-led & functional Built for bodies with mileage

That experience doesn't sit in a bio — it goes into every programme I write for you.

"This is why I review every application myself — no automation deciding if you're a fit, just me making sure I can genuinely help before you spend a penny."

How it works

Five simple steps

No onboarding maze. No automated funnel. Just a straightforward path from application to your first programme.

Step 1

You apply

Fill in a short, honest form — your goals, history, injuries, and what you've got to train with.

Step 2

I review it

I read every submission personally and confirm I can genuinely help — before anything is charged.

Step 3

I welcome you in

If we're a good fit, I send a personal welcome email with a simple, secure link to get you started.

Step 4

Your programmes land

Bespoke programmes built around your body, your kit, and the things you're working to fix.

Step 5

We adjust as you go

Tell me how each block feels and I'll tune the next one — with fresh programmes on the 1st of every month.

What you're really paying for

Four programmes a month — and the experience behind every one

The four programmes are what lands in your inbox. What you're actually paying for is the judgement behind them — ~15 years of deciding which exercises your body needs, how much to load, what to leave out, and how to move you forward without setting you back. No two months look the same, because no two bodies do.

In their words

What clients say

Real words from people training around real injuries.

"James built exercises around an old ankle injury — my balance, strength and confidence all came back, and we're still working on stability through my ankles and hips. Over the years it's made such a difference, and I want to keep it going as I get older."

— Caroline, 60–69

"I'm fairly sedentary at work and had pain in my back, hips and ankles. James has improved the mobility in all three and things are so much better — now we're working on maintaining it, or even improving, as I get older."

— Steve, 60–69

"I've been training with James for over ten years now. I came to him wanting to stay strong as I got older, and honestly I expected to just slow the decline. What's surprised me is that my strength and mobility are better now than when I started — at an age when I assumed things would only go the other way."

— Martin, 60–69
