Analyse

When a new client starts with us we give them a full body screening and movement assessment. This analysis helps us with the next stage of the process.


Plan

If you are not assessing, you are guessing. With the results of our assessment we are now able to design a plan and programme for our client to improve their body and mind. A better body and mind equals improved performance.


Implement

This is where the client does most of the work! They train to the best of their ability. If you are going to do something you should do it correctly. As movement specialists we are there to instruct our clients on how to move properly.


Monitor

Monitoring performance is crucial to getting better. Its the same with movement. This ensures that our clients progress. We love to see our clients get fitter, healthier, stronger. All of this breeds confidence.

August 19, 2016Gym workouts, like everything else in life, materialise  along  a spacious spectrum of efficiency. On one side of the spectrum, we have ample time to conduct the perfect session where everything we planned to achieve in our session is achieved. The athlete is engaged and is working hard.  Coach and athlete are happy. Progress has been made.   On the other side of the spectrum, we have sessions that are rushed. The athlete is not engaged.
