Training better: getting more out of every session

Most people do not need a new program. They need to run the one they have properly: the right effort on the right day, tempo they can actually control, and full range on the lifts that matter. These articles cover the specific things our coaches correct most often on the floor in Mornington.

There is a version of training where you show up, move some weight, feel tired and go home. It works for about six weeks. After that, the thing that separates people is not effort. It is precision.

This topic collects the coaching writing: the five mistakes we see most, why tempo is the variable everyone skips, what actually makes a shoulder healthy, and how to start running without hating it. If you would rather see how the programs are structured, the programs page covers strength and conditioning, athlete development and private coaching side by side.

Questions people ask

Training better, answered.

How long is a session?

About 60 minutes, coached start to finish, with some running anywhere from 45 to 75 depending on the session. There is no warm-up you do alone in the corner while you wait for a class to begin.

Do I get my own program?

Yes. Everyone on the floor is running their own program, written for them, in a Session capped at eight so a coach can adjust it in real time.

How is progress measured?

By what you can do, tracked session to session, and by testing on VALD force plates on our own floor when a number is genuinely useful. The performance testing page explains what those tests measure.

Train with someone watching.
