Training Specialties
Athletic Training (Performance Programming)
Designed for athletes and high-performing professionals where efficiency matters. We remove guesswork and build performance through evidence-based programming focused on strength, power, and sport-specific conditioning.
Ideal for: Competitive athletes, serious trainees, high-achievers who want measurable progress.
Results: Better strength and power output, improved conditioning, clearer structure and progression.
André’s edge: Sport science-led programming with tracking and planned progressions (not random sessions).
Late-Stage Rehab (Return-to-Performance)
Focused on bridging the gap between physiotherapy and full training. We restore movement quality, rebuild capacity, and return you to peak performance with progressive loading and corrective exercise where needed.
Ideal for: Persistent pain, recurring injuries, post-physio return to training, chronic tendon pain.
Results: Improved movement quality, fewer flare-ups, stronger foundations, safer return to performance.
André’s edge: Corrective exercise specialism + performance programming that respects tissue tolerance and adaptation.
Flywheel Training (Exerfly)
Flywheel training uses variable resistance that adapts to your effort in real time — allowing high-quality eccentric overload and efficient strength development. André delivers flywheel sessions using Exerfly technology with benchmarking and performance tracking.
Ideal for: Athletes, serious trainees, time-poor professionals who want high ROI training.
Results: Faster strength gains, improved eccentric control, efficient sessions with measurable outputs.
André’s edge: One of the first to bring motorised flywheel training to Central London’s commercial market, delivered with data-led testing and progression.
