Feel like yourself again, without losing time with your family.
One to one personal training in Cuckfield for busy parents and professionals in their thirties, forties and fifties. Built around work and the school run, not around an ideal week that does not exist.
- Coached by a working parent who gets it
- 2 to 3 sessions a week, not 6
- Private studio, beginners welcome
You are not lazy. Your plan was just never built for a real week.
Most people I meet have genuinely tried. Gym memberships, classes, a programme off the internet. It holds together for a fortnight, then work runs late, a child gets ill, and it quietly stops. Then you feel guilty on top of everything else.
Your time is not your own
Between work and the kids you have maybe three hours a week, and they move around. The plan has to survive that rather than pretend otherwise.
You feel guilty taking the time
Training can feel like something you are stealing from your family. Done properly it gives them a fitter, calmer, more present version of you.
You have started before
More than once. The information was never the problem. Structure and honest accountability were.
Four steps, no guesswork
Everything is built around what your body can do today and what your week actually looks like.
Assess
A proper movement screen, health questionnaire and lifestyle audit before you lift anything.
Build
A programme written for your body, your goal and the number of days you can genuinely commit.
Coach
Every session coached in person. Technique fixed as you go, load progressed when you are ready.
Adjust
We track what is working and change what is not. Busy month? The plan flexes instead of breaking.
You will not be handed a plan that assumes six free evenings. You will be coached in person, by someone training around a full time job and a family, on two or three sessions a week that fit the life you already have. That is the whole idea.

I train around a demanding job and a family, so I am not going to hand you a plan that assumes six free evenings. Whether you are 32 and have never lifted properly, or 58 and want to stay strong and independent for the next thirty years, we start from what your week actually looks like.
I am not coaching from the other side of a lifestyle you do not have. I am doing the same week you are, which is why the plan I write assumes interruptions instead of pretending they will not happen.
Parents
Who want themselves back without losing family time.
30 to 65
Men and women, most of them fitting training around work.
Complete beginners, and people coming back
After years away, an injury or an illness. Starting from scratch is the normal case here, not the exception.
Training around something
An old knee, a stiff back, a health condition. We work around it properly rather than ignoring it or avoiding everything.
What this is not
- Bootcamp shouting
- Meal plans with banned foods
- Six sessions a week
- Guilt for a missed session
Two or three sessions a week
Built for the time you actually have, then progressed properly so those hours are worth spending.

Questions people ask
Where does the training take place?
All sessions run from a private setup in Cuckfield, West Sussex. It is about five minutes from Haywards Heath and ten minutes from Balcombe, with easy parking.
I have not trained in years. Is this for me?
Yes, and most of my clients start exactly there. Everyone begins with a movement screen and a health questionnaire, and your first sessions are built around where you actually are, not where you think you should be.
Do you work with people over 40?
Most of my clients are in their thirties, forties and fifties. Training in this age group needs more care with joints and recovery and it works extremely well when programmed properly.
I am a parent with very little spare time. Is this realistic?
That is exactly who I built this around. I train around a full time job and a family myself, so your plan is written for two or three sessions a week and designed to survive the weeks when everything goes sideways.
How many sessions a week do I need?
Most people do well on two or three sessions a week, plus a simple plan for the days in between. More is not automatically better if it is not sustainable.
Do you help with nutrition too?
Yes. Nutrition coaching is included, and it is built around how you actually eat, including eating out and travel. There are no banned foods and no meal plans you will abandon in a fortnight.
What happens on the free consultation?
We talk about what you want, what you have tried, and any injuries or health issues. I tell you honestly whether I can help and what it would involve. There is no obligation and no hard sell.
