Starting Strength Coaching 

In person and online

Why choose me?

Cast Iron Strength specialises in one thing: barbell strength coaching. As one of only three certified Starting Strength coaches in the UK, I specialise exclusively in barbell strength training. I'm not here to supervise your workouts, count reps, and give you high fives. I’m here to deliver expert barbell-based strength coaching. 

Whether in person or online I'll coach your technique on every major lift, programme your training around your goals and experience, and continually adjust your training to keep you progressing safely and efficiently. This isn’t about a 12 week transformation, this is about doubling your strength over the next year, and building training habits and knowledge to last a lifetime.

 

Done correctly training in this way is the most effective and efficient way to: ​

 

- Become significantly stronger 

 

- Build muscle and improve overall body composition 

 

- Improve athletic performance 

 

-Improve bone density and connective tissue resilience, reducing risk of injury  

 

- Reduce the harmful effects of age-related muscle and bone loss (sarcopenia and osteoporosis) 

 

I appreciate that hard strength training isn’t something that most people have ever done and that it may not be for everyone. I don't believe in high-pressure sales calls or manufactured urgency. Come for a free trial, ask as many questions as you like, and decide whether we're a good fit. If we're not, that's perfectly fine. If you want to continue you just sign up to a rolling monthly payment, no contracts, no fixed terms, and no minimum commitments, just good, honest coaching. If I don’t think I’m the right coach for you, I’ll let you know and refer you over to someone who might be a better fit.

Online Strength Coaching

This is my most popular coaching service. You record your workouts and upload them into a training app. I then provide you with detailed video feedback, breaking down your technique and providing you with the corrections and cues you need to progress in your next session. This option is the more flexible and affordable of the two, allowing you to train anywhere, any time, at a fraction of the cost
