Immerse yourself into understanding a new point of view about "Stress" where we don't villainize it. Instead, we embrace it and use it as a tool. As the saying goes, "It's not about the stress, it is about how we relate to stress". Join Pablo, who has been using these techniques for more than two decades of coaching, proving that a connection between improved self-awareness and good, quality-based, biomechanics is the way to long-lasting high performance, in life and sports.

For over 100 years in the field of exercise science, performance fatigue has been blamed on a substrate that does not exist in the human body. The effect? A world-wide industry that does not understand the true cause of fatigue in the human body.

Over the last few years in particular, more and more of the public (and our clients) have become aware of the benefits of exercise for their mental health and wellbeing. It’s a great thing. It also means as trainers and coaches we need to have a greater understanding in this area. (In fact I’m back doing post graduate studies in leading mental health and wellbeing at Workplaces and Community)

Eccentric cycling is a cutting-edge method that emphasizes the strength-building potential of eccentric (muscle-lengthening) contractions. Unlike traditional cycling, where the focus is on concentric (muscle-shortening) actions as you push the pedals down, eccentric cycling involves resisting the pedal as they are driven in the opposite direction by a motor.

You know them, you love them and of course you program them. The squat is a ubiquitous movement that we see in may different formats in the fitness industry. In fact many people have so many beliefs around this exercise that they may happily “fight” for the technique that they believe in. During the session we will explore and simplify what this movement pattern is and give you the tools to help you help your clients understand their active range of motion and impart the skill of the “squat” to their body and brain. This session may just change the way you look at and coach this movement pattern.

For the majority of our awake and functioning day we are upright bipedal creatures. So it stands to reason that if we want a strong and functional core, that we should train with the concept of specificity ie upright and standing on two feet! Whilst i'm a big believer that variety is not just the spice of life, but also the spice that creates a happier body, and thus floor abdominal exercises have a place, I'm an even bigger believer that training our abdominal and core system from a variety of standing positions is not just more relevant, but can absolutely be more fun and interactive too. Come along with me as I show you how to effectively train your core, but NOT on the floor.

This session will review why many of our clients aren't sleeping and most importantly we'll give you practical ways to improve sleep so you can optimise the ultimate recovery tool we have.

Sometimes as people who ask other people to perform tasks we think we’ve nailed only to look at the performance of our client and not even recognise the activity they’re performing. We suddenly think that this person maybe be a “motor moron” when in fact it could be the way that they interpreted the information and not a fault in them. Think about it, rarely would a client or group class participate perform the move incorrectly open purpose! Using a consistent method of delivery when coaching movement utilising all of the senses can help clients understand “gym jargon” better and have them performing the requested task more accurately. In this session, we will look at a consistent coaching strategy that should help at least most of your clients and group class participants moving more competently.

We all love to programme core training into our clients sessions. But how often do we consider the impacts of inflammation within the visceral and digestive systems when we programme or coach abdominal exercises?

Do you have clients who often mention they can feel their hip flexors rather than their abdominal muscles when performing abdominal activities? In this session you will learn the 101 on gut and visceral inflammation, how to check/appraise for this, tips to bring more activation to the abdominal system, and recommendations you can make to your clients to reduce visceral inflammation and thus improve abdominal function.
