THE REALITY CHECK
You've been putting the graft in, but the numbers on the bar have stalled. The niggles aren't shifting, and Sunday mornings leave you feeling like you've been hit by a bus. You know there's more in the tank, but those generic gym templates just aren't cutting it anymore.
The reality is, standard programming only gets you standard results. If you want to build strength that actually translates to the pitch, or finally put that injury behind you for good, you need a different approach. No fluff, no false promises. Just proper graft and a plan built specifically for you.
WHO YOU PROBABLY ARE
You're a rugby player hitting a physical ceiling.
You’ve got the technical skills, but you’re getting dominated in the collisions. You need that extra 10% of physical dominance that translates directly to the pitch, not just the gym floor.
You're staring down the long road of ACL rehab.
You’ve been cleared by the physio, but you don't trust your knee yet. You need to bridge the gap between basic rehab and full-contact return to play without second-guessing your body.
You're tired of aimless, unstructured training.
You want to train like an athlete, lift heavy, and follow a program that actually drives results—but you need a structured environment that pushes you and keeps you accountable.
"GENERIC TEMPLATES YIELD GENERIC RESULTS."
WHY GENERIC FAILS
Most athletes think they just need to work harder. The reality is, if your program isn't built for your mechanics, your injury history, and your specific demands, you are just reinforcing bad patterns. Generic templates give you generic results.
You don't need another cookie-cutter routine from a fitness app. You need a deliberate, specialized approach that actually addresses why you're plateauing or breaking down. Anything less is a waste of your time and your effort. It’s time to stop guessing and start building strength that actually translates to performance.
what we OFFER
01
perform
For players who want to dominate the collision and play eighty minutes without dropping off.
Rugby isn't played on a spreadsheet. It’s played in the mud, in the tackle, and in the last ten minutes when everyone else is blowing. The Edge is designed specifically for rugby players who need to translate gym strength into pitch dominance.
We focus on high-impact conditioning, collision resilience, and the explosive power needed to break the line. This isn't generic fitness; it's robust, targeted strength work built from my ten years in the national leagues.
YOU'RE RIGHT FOR THIS IF:
You're currently playing and feel like you're losing the physical battle, or you want to step up a league and need the physical foundation to match your skills.
02
rebuild
A structured, no-nonsense return to play for athletes coming back from knee reconstruction.
An ACL tear feels like the end of the world, but it’s just a pause. The Comeback track bridges the gap between being discharged by your physio and actually being ready to step back onto the pitch with confidence.
We don't rush, but we don't hold back either. Through meticulous programming and progressive load management, we rebuild the knee, restore your unilateral strength, and, most importantly, rebuild the trust in your own body so you can play without hesitation.
YOU'RE RIGHT FOR THIS IF:
You've had surgery, done the early physio, and now need a specialized strength coach to safely guide you back to competitive sport.

BACK TO THEMSELVES
Lifting club - Small group strength coaching for those who want to lift properly and feel strong again.
Not everyone is stepping onto a pitch, but everyone deserves to feel physically capable in their own skin. The Lifting Club is our small group environment where you get elite-level coaching without the elite-level pressure.
It’s about stripping back the nonsense, focusing on compound lifts, and building a foundation of strength that carries over into everyday life. You train alongside good people, put the work in, and walk out feeling a bit more like yourself.
YOU'RE RIGHT FOR THIS IF:
You want to get stronger in a supportive, structured environment but don't know where to start, or you're tired of aimless gym sessions getting you nowhere.

THE HONEST BIT
I am selective about who I work with. This coaching is an investment of my time and your effort. If you are looking for a quick fix, if you consistently make excuses, or if you aren't ready to push yourself physically and mentally, we are not a good fit. Please do not book a call.
But if you are ready to show up, do the work when no one is watching, and commit to the process without hesitation, then you are exactly who I am looking for. Let's talk.
