Real people. Real progress. Training in the Performance Lab.

Every goal starts somewhere.

What to Expect in a Personal Training Session

Your personal training sessions are built around you - your goals, your current capacity, and your long-term progression.

Each session in The Performance Lab is designed to make you stronger, move better and perform with confidence - not just work harder for the sake of it.

A typical session might include:

  • Intentional Warm-Up - mobility and activation drills tailored to your movement needs.
  • Focused Strength Work - foundational lifts like squats, deadlifts, presses, and carries scaled to your level and goals.
  • Accessory work - Target weak links, improve movement patterns, and build balance across joints and muscle groups.
  • Movement Coaching - Real-time feedback from expert coaches trained in biomechanics and performance.
  • Education & Progression - Understand the why behind every movement so you can train smarter - inside and outside the gym.

We don't do cookie-cutter workouts or recycled templates. Every session is measurable, meaningful, and built to move you forward.

Reaching your peak performance takes more than a few good workouts - it takes smart programming, consistent effort, and an environment built for progress.
