Returning to training

Post-injury, post-surgery, post-break, or coming back after life got in the way. Rebuilding gradually is its own skill — and it's a different program from "just train hard again".

Who this is for

  • You're recovering from surgery — knee, hip, back, shoulder — and want to do it under proper coaching.
  • You're post-partum (any number of months or years) and want to rebuild without being patronised.
  • Life happened (work, illness, kids, burnout) and you've lost the routine you had a few years ago.
  • You used to train and you know what you're capable of — you just need help getting back there safely.

How it works

  • Conservative start, deliberate progression — the goal is staying able to train, not maxing out week one.
  • Coordination with physio if you have one — programs that complement rehab, not contradict it.
  • Honest expectations about how long it takes to get back. Usually faster than you fear, slower than you hope.
  • Long-term focus — getting you to a stable routine you can run for years, not a sprint to a goal weight.

What it costs

Almost always starts one-on-one. The first 4–6 weeks are about figuring out exactly where your body is right now, not maxing out anything.

See the pricing page for current rates, or just call — easier to talk through what's right for you than to read down a list.
