About

Training built around your life, not the other way around

Most training programmes assume you have unlimited time and energy. The reality is that you have a career, family, travel, and responsibilities that don't pause when you decide to get fitter.

I work with people who need a sustainable approach that fits into a full life - not a rigid plan that collapses the moment things get busy. Online coaching is my primary service. If you're in or near Edinburgh, I also train people in person - at your own home gym, or at my private garage gym: no crowds, no waiting for equipment, just a focused space that works.

Your Starting Point

Where are you right now?

Be honest - there's no wrong answer. Each stage needs a different approach, and knowing yours is how we build a plan that finally sticks.

Not thinking about training right now

You know training would probably help, but it's not a priority. Other things are taking up your time and energy, and that's fine. Forcing it when you're not ready usually doesn't work anyway.

Busy professional lifestyle - focused on work and family, not training

What this looks like

You're focused on work, family, or sorting out something else in your life. Training is background noise - something you might get to eventually, but not now.

How I approach it

I don't. If you're here, you're probably just browsing. When things settle and you're ready, we can talk. No pressure.

In the meantime, the free resources are yours - no sign-up, no follow-up.

Starting to think training might help

You're noticing things - energy's lower, clothes fit differently, stairs are harder than they used to be. You're not in crisis, but you're aware something needs to change soon.

Person considering a lifestyle change - weighing options and thinking about next steps

What this looks like

You're weighing up options. Maybe you've looked at a few programmes or gyms but haven't committed. You're not sure what would actually work for you, or whether now is the right time.

How I approach it

We start with clarity. What's the actual goal? What's realistic given your schedule? What's held you back before? No sales pitch - just an honest conversation about whether this makes sense for you right now.

Ready to start, just need a plan

You've decided to do this. You're ready to commit time and energy, but you need structure and accountability to make it stick.

Fresh start in the gym - ready to commit to a training plan

What this looks like

You're done thinking about it. You want a programme that fits your life, clear direction on what to do, and someone to keep you accountable when motivation dips.

How I approach it

We build a sustainable plan from day one. Realistic volume, clear progression, and built-in flexibility so it doesn't fall apart the first time life gets busy. We're aiming for durability, not a short-term push.

Training is already a habit

You train regularly and it's part of your routine. You're looking to refine your approach, break through a plateau, or add structure to what you're already doing.

Experienced lifter training with established routine and consistent habits

What this looks like

You don't need convincing or hand-holding. You want better programming, technique refinement, or a fresh perspective on what you're doing.

How I approach it

We assess what's working and what's not. If you're spinning your wheels, we adjust volume, intensity, or exercise selection. If technique is limiting progress, we fix it. The goal is to make your existing effort more effective.

Restarting after a break

You've trained before - maybe for years - but life got in the way. Work, family, injury, or just burnout. Now you're ready to get back, but you know you can't (and shouldn't) pick up where you left off.

Returning to training after a break - rebuilding gradually and consistently

What this looks like

You know what good training feels like, but you're starting from a lower baseline. You're frustrated that things aren't as easy as they used to be, but you also know rushing back is how people get hurt.

How I approach it

We build back gradually. Start with manageable volume, focus on re-establishing movement patterns, and avoid the temptation to chase old numbers too quickly. The goal is to get you training consistently again without injury or burnout.

Who I Work With

Different starting points.
Same approach.

I work with people at all levels. What matters is that you're willing to put the work in and that we're both clear on what you're trying to achieve.

Simple high-protein meal - sustainable food habits for weight loss
01

Weight loss & GLP-1 support

Building sustainable habits around food and training - losing weight and, just as importantly, keeping it off. This is my core specialism for people using GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro): preserving muscle during the loss and staying in control through maintenance. See how GLP-1 support works →

Strength & muscle

Progressive programmes for building strength or size. Whether you're new to lifting or have years of experience and want to refine your approach.

Getting back into it

Restarting after a break. Building back gradually, managing any injuries or limitations, and making it stick this time.

General fitness

Staying active, maintaining health, feeling better day to day. Not training for a specific goal but keeping movement consistent and purposeful.

GLP-1 Support · Ozempic · Wegovy · Mounjaro

Losing weight on a GLP-1? Don't lose the muscle.

GLP-1 medications work - but research shows 25-39% of the weight lost on them can be muscle, not fat. That means a slower metabolism, less strength, and a body that regains weight more easily the moment the medication stops.

I coach people through the whole journey: structured strength training and protein-first nutrition to protect muscle while you're on the medication, and the habits and accountability to keep the weight off when you come off it.

25-39%
of total weight lost on GLP-1 medications can be lean mass - unless you train and eat to protect it.
2-3×
strength sessions a week, plus protein-first nutrition, is what preserves muscle while the scale drops.
4-6 wks
before stopping medication is the ideal time to start coaching - habits are in place before appetite returns.
Client Results

What clients say

I travel a lot for work and had written off training as impossible. Having a programme I could actually follow from hotel gyms - and someone to message when I wasn't sure - made the difference.
Sarah · Marketing
I'd done the start-stop thing for years. What worked this time was having a plan that bent when my week got messy, instead of one I had to abandon.
Mike · Software
Two kids and long shifts mean I can't commit to a fixed schedule. Balazs built the programme around that rather than against it, which is why I've actually stuck with it.
Emma · Healthcare
The Approach

Three things,
done well.

Good coaching isn't complicated. It comes down to training intelligently, thinking clearly about your habits, and managing the reality of your life - not an idealised version of it.

01

Training

Progressive, purposeful movement

Programmes built around how your body works, not how it looks on social media. The right stimulus, at the right time, for your schedule.

02

Thinking

Mindset, habits, long-term patterns

Most of what holds people back isn't physical. Sustainable habits, honest self-awareness, and removing the noise from your decision-making.

03

Management

Life, stress, recovery, schedule

Your programme works around your actual life: travel, stress, difficult periods. A plan you can't follow isn't a plan.

Pricing

Simple pricing. No contracts.

Start with the level of support you need - upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. Full refund in the first two weeks if it's not the right fit. No hidden fees.
