The People Behind The Programme

Meet the coaches.

The people behind every session, the ones who shape the programme, coach the room and help every member move forward.

Why It Matters

A coach is the difference between feeling lost and feeling supported.

Anyone can write a workout. Anyone can download an app. What changes how you train, and how confident you feel doing it, is having someone in the room who knows what to look for, what to change and when to push or pull back.

That is what every coach on this floor is here to do. Every session is programmed by us, watched by us and adjusted in real time. Your form, your loading, your pacing, your recovery, all of it is supported against a plan that is actually going somewhere.

  • 01 Programmed Every session is built, never random. Strength, conditioning and HYROX work sequenced to a goal you've actually agreed to.
  • 02 Adjusted Eyes on every rep. Loading, tempo and technique adapted in the moment, for your body, your week, your day.
  • 03 Accountable We notice when you're missing. We notice when you're flagging. The standard is held, so you don't have to hold it alone.

Martin Browne.

Olivia Kreigenfeld.

Olivia is passionate about helping people realise they are capable of more than they think. Her coaching supports members who are new to training, returning after a break, building confidence or learning to lift properly for the first time.

"The first time someone realises they can do something they were scared of, you see the whole room change for them."

Coach 03 · Since 2020 Jake Podgorski, HYROX & Conditioning Coach
Coach 03 / 03HYROX
HYROX & Conditioning Coach

Jake Podgorski.

Jake brings a running and performance background into the gym, with a natural focus on conditioning, pacing and HYROX-style training. His coaching is calm, clear and built around helping members understand effort under fatigue.

"HYROX and conditioning are not just about working hard. They are about knowing how to pace, move and keep control when it gets tough."

The Team

Three Coaches. One Floor.

Same standard. Different specialisms. The line on the chart goes up because we coach the same way, whoever's holding the clipboard.

What Unites Them

The Coaching Philosophy.

Different members, different goals, different starting lines, but every coach on the floor works to the same three principles. This is what holds the room together.

01.

Coach Every Rep.

Every set, every weight, every movement is watched and corrected. We don't run sessions where members "figure it out", we coach them. That's what they pay for. That's what makes the difference.

02.

Programme For The Person.

Same room, scaled programmes. Beginner deadlift sits next to peak-block sled work, both coached, both progressing. The programme adapts to where the member is, not the other way around.

03.

Hold The Standard.

We don't drop the standard to make people feel good. We hold it, and we coach members up to it. That's how the line on the chart actually goes up, and that's the bit our members come back for.

On The Floor

Coaches In Action.

A look around, the coaches at work, members on the floor, the day-to-day that makes the gym what it is.
