Why FORMA

The same problems
keep coming back.

Most training is never measured. We measure what's limiting you first, then train the deficit the numbers show.

Working in gyms, I kept seeing the same things missing, even with good coaches:

That's why I created FORMA.

Two ways to start

Start with
the assessment.

Everyone starts with the assessment. Take it on its own, or start coaching and it's included.

How it works

Assess. Train.
Retest.

Step 01
Assess
75 minutes. Five tests. You see what is limiting you, in numbers.
Step 02
Train
One to one, with me. Every session goes after what your numbers exposed.
Step 03
Retest
Same tests at weeks 8 and 16. Your numbers against your baseline. You see exactly what changed.
The Difference
You always know why
Every exercise has a reason. Every retest shows whether it worked. No guessing.
What the assessment measures

Five tests.
Plain answers.

01
How you move

Poor patterns overload the same spots, every session.
02

Isometric strength
A weaker side makes the other one overwork.
03
Strength vs speed
Force-velocity profile
Tells you whether to build strength or speed.
04
How fast you recover
Heart rate recovery
Sets how much training your body can absorb.
05
Your spring

Powers how you run, jump and change direction.

Who It's For

Active adults who refuse
to accept decline.

You don't need an injury or a sport. If you want to train properly, with a coach who measures, you're in the right place.

01
Runners
The same spot complains at the same point in every training block. We measure what is limiting you and train it.
02
Cyclists
Stiff after long rides, power not where it was. Years in one position build imbalances we can measure.
03
Racket Sports
The same side flares up every season. You want to keep competing well into your 50s and 60s.
04
Golfers
Tight after a round, losing distance off the tee. We measure where force is being lost.
05
Team Sports
Coming back after time out, managing a long season, or extending a playing career, with numbers behind each decision.
06
Executives
Training seriously around a desk-bound week. You want a body that keeps up with the life you have built.

feelings.

Questions

The short answers.

Is this personal training?

Yes. FORMA is one-to-one personal training with an exercise scientist. The difference is that it starts with a 75-minute assessment, your training is built on what it finds, and it is retested every eight weeks so you can see what changed.

What does the assessment include?

One 75-minute session with five tests: how you move, strength on each side, the balance between strength and speed, how fast you recover, and how much spring you have. You receive a written report in plain English within 3 days.

How much does it cost?

Fees are shared directly, on a short call or by message, so we can make sure the right option fits you first. The assessment is a one-off fee that includes your written report and a debrief. Coaching is 8 or 12 sessions a month by monthly direct debit, with the assessment included.

Where and when?

At 167 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2EA, close to City Thameslink, Blackfriars and Chancery Lane. Sessions run Monday to Friday 6am to 8pm and Saturday 10am to 6pm.

How often would I train?

Coaching is 8 sessions a month, about twice a week, or 12 sessions a month, about three times a week. There is a 12-week minimum, after which it rolls monthly.

Who is it for?

Active adults who train seriously, or want to: runners, cyclists, racket sports players, golfers, team sport athletes and busy professionals. You don't need an injury or a sport to start.

I have an injury right now. Can I still come?

If something hurts right now, see a physiotherapist or your GP first. FORMA does not diagnose or treat; it works alongside them, and is built for the point after treatment, when you want to know what you can do.

How do I start?

Fill in the short form on the booking page or message me on WhatsApp. I reply within 48 hours, and we have a 15-minute call before anything is booked.
