FAQs

Our list of FAQs should give you the answers to most of the things that you are unsure of about our coaching as well as some common questions that we get asked as coaches! However, if there is still anything you are unsure of, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through any of our channels. We will endeavor to get back to you as soon as possible.

Are my results guaranteed?

Yes, but they are dependent on your commitment and full cooperation during our time working together. It’s important to understand that results don’t happen overnight - consistency is important!

What happens if I miss a check-in?

We appreciate that many of us live busy lives and it isn’t always possible to get your check-in complete. If you miss one, we will still send you your weekly coaching video. If it’s a recurring issue, we will arrange a phone call with you to discuss any issues. We may change the format of the check-in to suit you better if required.

Should I always train to failure?

It is recommended that you train as close as you can to failure; within at least 3 reps in reserve, especially on your last set. However, as a general rule of thumb, you should go very close to failure on any isolation exercises. These exercises are easier for you to pull out if you find the intensity too difficult. On compound exercises, which can be more open to risk of injury (bench press, squats etc.) You can stay within 1-2 reps short of failure on the last set.

Should I always train as heavy as I can to the rep range you have set me?

Not necessarily. It is more important to train knowing you have a good ‘mind-to-muscle’ connection rather than just throwing weight up. Ensure your form is as good as possible and that you are stretching and contracting the muscle in a safe and efficient way.

If you have any issues, we are here to help.

Should I always train as heavy as I can to the rep range you have set me?

First of all, don’t panic! It can be very easy to think that we have ruined everything and hit the ‘fuck it button’ and self-sabotage. Don’t do that!

Your weekly average is more important than the results of any one given day. We will work with you on making any adjustments. Just be open and honest with us.

What should I eat before and after a workout?

You should prioritise carbohydrates before exercise as this will provide you with the energy you need. However, make sure you don’t eat too much, particularly within an hour of exercise, as this may effect your energy levels and your ability to perform. A light snack should do.

You should prioritise protein after exercise to help you with recovery.

Will I be able to change any of the exercises in my programme?

All the exercises that we include in your programme are chosen carefully; they consider a number of factors such as your experience, goals, and manage fatigue. However, if you find that an exercise is too difficult or not to your liking, contact us first and we can help you find a suitable substitute.
