Not your average PT. Here’s why 👇

🍔 I eat normal food. I don’t weigh everything, track every calorie or panic because I’ve had a takeaway.

🏋️ I don’t think you need to train 6 days a week. I don’t even want to see most of you 6 days a week 😂

⌚ I love data. Until the data tells me something I don’t agree with, then obviously it’s wrong.

🥵 I genuinely enjoy horrible workouts. That doesn’t mean I expect everyone I coach to enjoy suffering with me.

🚶 I don’t care if you haven’t done 10,000 steps. Your body doesn’t shut down at 9,847.

📋 I don’t hand out generic meal plans. I’m a PT, not your mum. You already know vegetables are probably a good idea.

🏃‍♂️ I sign myself up for ultras and ridiculous challenges, then at some point during them wonder who the idiot was that thought it was a good idea.

🧠 Sometimes I train to get fitter. Sometimes I train because my head needs it. Sometimes I just want to lift something heavy and go home.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 My clients have jobs, kids, stress, s**t sleep, holidays, meals out and weeks where everything goes completely t**s up.

And that’s normal.

I’m not interested in making people live like a PT.

You don’t need to train every day.
You don’t need to eat perfectly.
You don’t need 10,000 steps.
And one takeaway hasn’t destroyed 6 months of training.

Train when you can.
Do enough of the right stuff.
Enjoy your food without overthinking every mouthful.

Be consistent more often than you’re not.

That’s pretty much it 😂

I've shown you the training side.

12 weeks.
5 sessions per week.
60 programmed sessions.

But I don't want this to just be a programme that lands on your phone every Monday and you're left to figure the rest out.

So there'll be opportunities throughout the 12 weeks to actually get together and COACH.

Practical sessions.
HYROX movements.
Technique.
Efficiency.
Standards.

A chance to work on the things that are difficult to coach properly through a screen.

Because writing 60 workouts is the easy bit.

Helping you become better at actually DOING them is where the coaching comes in.

And there's still more to come. 👀

Solid bit of hybrid work for May today 🔥

3 rounds for time:

350m Ski
DB Push Press
350m Row
KB Swings
Farmers Carry
Hand-Release Push Ups

Finished off with some Bike + Wall Balls, just to make sure there wasn’t too much left in the tank 😅

Really good session from May. Worked hard, kept everything moving and stayed consistent right through to the finisher.

Plenty more to come 💪🔥

Time to show you a little more of what I've actually been building. 👀

BUILD. DEVELOP. PERFORM. isn't just 12 weeks of random HYROX workouts.

It's 60 programmed sessions across 12 weeks.

5 sessions per week, built around the things that actually need developing for HYROX:

Running.
Strength.
HYROX-specific work.
Conditioning.

And importantly, those 60 sessions aren't just thrown together.

The programme moves through 3 deliberate phases:

BUILD — create the foundations.

DEVELOP — start turning those foundations into HYROX-specific performance.

PERFORM — bring everything together and prepare to race.

The goal isn't to see how hard I can make every workout.

It's to make sure every session has a job and that what you're doing in week 10 has been earned by what you built in weeks 1–9.

12 weeks.
5 sessions per week.
60 programmed sessions.

And that's only the training side... 👀

More of that soon.

BUILD. DEVELOP. PERFORM.

No fancy s**t.
Just a room full of people getting after it.

You don't need to prove your fitness every session.

You need to build it.

30 minutes.
Simple work.
No shortcuts.
Everything has a purpose.

Some days we run.
Some days we lift.
Some days we build the engine.
Some days we put it all together.

The goal isn't to win today's workout.

The goal is to be ready when it matters.

Trust the process.

BUILD. DEVELOP. PERFORM.

The Dee Project is still very much ON. 🌊🏃‍♂️

Things have been a little quieter on here, but behind the scenes we’re still working towards it.

120km+ following the River Dee from source to sea — Arenig to Hoylake.

It’s a ridiculous challenge. It’s going to hurt. And there’s still plenty of work to do between now and then.

But we’re doing it.

31.10.26.

The Dee Project continues. 💪

A few questions about what I'm building for HYROX Manchester 👀

Is it only for experienced HYROX athletes?

What if running is my biggest weakness?

Will Singles and Doubles be training the same way?

The answer to all of these comes back to the same thing:

There needs to be a plan.

Not random workouts.
Not endless simulations.
Not just trying to get fitter by smashing yourself every session.

12 weeks.
3 phases.
Each with a purpose.

BUILD the foundations.
DEVELOP them for HYROX.
PERFORM when it matters.

We start 26.10.26.

More details coming soon 👀

BUILD. DEVELOP. PERFORM.

Turns out all those Hybrid sessions I've been accidentally falling into might actually be paying off 😂🥇

Ignition Games today with Andy — 3 very different workouts, plenty of suffering, some questionable decisions and somehow we came away 1st in Male Scaled Pairs.

Small category or not, we had an absolute class day and I bloody loved competing again.

Engine tested. Legs cooked. Medal acquired. 🔥

Back to running ridiculously long distances soon enough… 😂

Cheers for the graft mate 🤝
