Support Spectrum

Not everyone needs the same level of support.

Some people want autonomy.
Some want structure.
Some want guidance as life changes.

MHR training systems are built to work across a spectrum, not lock you into one way of training.

The system stays the same.
The level of support adapts to you.

Why Support Is a Spectrum

Most fitness offerings force a binary choice.

Either:

  • You are fully on your own
    or

  • You are fully coached

Real life is not that simple.

Confidence, experience, time, stress, and goals all change.
Your training setup should be able to change with them.

That is why MHR uses a support spectrum, not fixed labels.

The Support Spectrum

On one end is full autonomy.
On the other is ongoing guidance.

Most people sit somewhere in between.

Build Your Own

Maximum autonomy. Clear guardrails.

Build Your Own is for people who want control over their training decisions without training randomly.

You apply the system yourself using:

  • Structured rules

  • Exercise pools

  • Volume and progression boundaries

You decide how training fits into your week.

Best suited to people who:

  • Enjoy autonomy

  • Like understanding their training

  • Want flexibility

  • Are confident making decisions

This is structured freedom, not guesswork.

Foundation

Structured independence. Minimal decision making.

Foundation programs are fully written training systems you can follow independently.

They provide:

  • Clear weekly structure

  • Planned progression

  • Balanced volume and intensity

  • Built in recovery phases

Best suited to people who:

  • Want clarity

  • Prefer following a proven system

  • Are building or rebuilding consistency

  • Train independently but want direction

You follow the system.
You stay consistent.
You learn how it works.

Custom

A system adjusted for you.

Custom training keeps the same principles but applies them specifically to:

  • Your schedule

  • Your injuries

  • Your goals

  • Your training history

Best suited to people who:

  • Need training to fit their situation

  • Want structure without full time oversight

  • Value guidance with flexibility

The system remains consistent.
The application becomes personal.

Progression and Performance

Ongoing guidance and adaptation.

This is for people who want training that evolves with them.

Support includes:

  • Regular adjustment

  • Feedback on performance

  • Help navigating plateaus

  • Accountability when life gets busy

Best suited to people who:

  • Want long term support

  • Value ongoing feedback

  • Want training to adapt continuously

  • Prioritise consistency over short bursts

Support increases.
Adaptability increases.
Training becomes easier to maintain.

Movement Along the Spectrum

You are not locked into one option.

As confidence grows, you may move toward more autonomy.
As life gets busier, you may choose more support.

The goal is not dependency.
The goal is capability.

How to Choose Your Starting Point

Ask yourself:

  • Do I want to make my own training decisions?

  • Do I want a system I can follow without thinking?

  • Do I need training customised to my life?

  • Do I want guidance as things change?

Your answer points you to the right place on the spectrum.

There is no wrong choice.
There is only what fits right now.

The Bigger Picture

Every option on the spectrum uses the same underlying training principles.

What changes is:

  • How much structure is provided

  • How many decisions you make

  • How much guidance you receive

The system stays consistent.
Support is added where it helps most.
