FORMA is an elite coaching practice for active adults who want to perform better, return to full training after injury, alongside your existing clinical care, and understand exactly what their body needs — through data and testing.
"I'm not performing the way I used to. I keep getting the same injuries. And nobody has actually told me why."
You've seen physios, you've rested, you've tried different programmes. But the knee flares up again after 8km. The shoulder clicks during your backhand. The lower back locks up on the back nine.
The reason it keeps happening is that nobody has identified the actual cause — only managed the symptom. Rest does not fix a hip strength deficit. A cortisone injection does not fix poor kinetic chain mechanics. A generic programme does not fix a force production asymmetry you did not know you had.
The answer is not more treatment. It is better data collection and a system that uses that data to create an effective programme built specifically for you.
"Three physios for the same knee. It helps for a few weeks — then it comes back."
"I'm training as hard as I ever have but I'm slower than five years ago."
"Everyone tells me something different. I don't know what to actually fix."
"I can't afford to be injured again. I have a race in 14 weeks."
Three phases built around objective data. Every decision is driven by what your body actually shows — not what a generic template assumes.
A 75-minute clinical testing session that goes far beyond a standard fitness evaluation. You leave with a written report showing exactly what is going on — and why.
Everything is built from your findings. Not a template with your name on it — a programme that exists because of what your specific body showed in the assessment.
At week 8 and week 16 we retest everything. You see exactly how much has changed — in numbers, not feelings. That data drives what comes next.
You do not need to be a professional athlete. You need to care about continuing to do what you love — at a level that matters to you.
Knee pain, IT band, recurring hamstring issues. Training for an event with a body that keeps breaking down at the same point.
Anterior knee pain, lower back stiffness, loss of power. Years of sport-specific adaptation creating imbalances that limit performance.
Elbow, shoulder, or back issues that flare with play. Wanting to compete well into your 50s and 60s without the same problems recurring.
Lower back pain during rounds, loss of distance off the tee. The kinetic chain is not transferring force the way it used to.
Returning from injury, managing load across a season, or extending a playing career beyond what felt possible.
Executives who train seriously, accumulate desk-based damage, and need their body to keep up with their ambitions.
You will understand exactly why you are doing what you are doing — and what it is designed to change in your body.
The knee pain is not a knee problem. The shoulder click is not a shoulder problem. Finding the actual driver changes everything.
LSI moving from 78% to 94%. RSI from 0.9 to 1.6. HRR-60 from 14 to 27 bpm. Real metrics, real trajectory.
Most decline is not inevitable. It is untreated deficits compounding over time. Identify and address them — the trajectory changes.
The assessment is the product. Coaching follows from what it finds — if you want it to. You can book the assessment without committing to anything beyond it.
A 75-minute clinical testing session that produces a written report showing exactly what is limiting your performance or driving your recurring injury — in objective numbers. No commitment to coaching required.
The complete clinical model. Assessment included, bespoke programme, weekly coaching, and monthly progress check — all in a single monthly retainer. Assessment is required before starting.
For clients who want to move faster. More frequency, same clinical rigour. Available on request once the initial assessment is complete.
All in-person sessions at Solo 60, Fleet Street, London EC4. Remote coaching available on request.
Working in big box gyms I realised the fitness industry is oversaturated with underqualified professionals who do not invest in their education. By the time someone needs a physio, the damage has been done. And when they are discharged, they return to the same environment that caused the problem.
Nobody was systematically taking an active adult from injured, limited, or declining back to performing at the level that matters to them. With clinical precision. With objective data. With a programme built around what their body actually shows. That gap is where FORMA lives.

Clinical thinking applied to real problems. Specific science behind the specific issues your body might be facing.
Most recurring injuries are the result of an untreated deficit nobody measured precisely enough to address. Here is why — and what changes when you find the actual cause.
What you will learn
Why hip deficits drive knee pain · How LSI is measured · What 76% LSI means for training
Loss of distance, slower times, less explosiveness. Most of the time it is a force-velocity deficit — specific, identifiable, and correctable.
What you will learn
What a force-velocity profile is · Why power declines without reduced training · How to train the right quality
Heart rate recovery in 60 seconds tells you more about your readiness to adapt than almost any other accessible measurement.
What you will learn
What HRR-60 measures · The autonomic system explained simply · Why training harder when this is low makes things worse
