An hour with a coach

One-to-one coaching

An hour with Rhys or Kerry on the thing that is holding you back: sled technique, erg pacing, a wall-ball fix, getting back after an injury, or a full plan.

Some things are quicker fixed one-to-one: a wall-ball squat that is losing you a minute, a rowing stroke that is all arms, or the nerves of walking into a busy class for the first time.

Most one-to-one clients come for between one and five sessions. The first is an assessment of whatever you want to work on, filmed on a phone so you can see it, with two or three things to practise. The next sessions check those and move on.

Some people prefer to train one-to-one all the time: because they want the coach's whole attention, because their hours do not suit the classes, or because they are coming back from an injury and want a slower start. We have daytime slots that the classes do not use.

If you are coming back from an injury, bring what your physio has told you. We will train around it and within it, and we will not tell you to do anything they have told you not to.

Questions about one-to-one

Can two of us share a session?

Yes, £55 for two people for the hour.

Do you write nutrition plans?

No. We will talk about eating enough to train, but for a meal plan we refer to a registered dietitian.

Where does it happen?

Here, in the unit. Daytime sessions usually have the whole floor to themselves.

Your first class is free. Come and push a sled.

Book any class the night before and tell the coach at the door it is your first. You get the lighter option at every station, a coach nearby, and nobody watching the clock but you. Or come to a race sim and see what the whole thing feels like.
