Guided Coaching With Structure and Support
“I knew I needed a plan, but I also knew I couldn’t do it completely on my own. I’d start a program, second guess myself, then fall off after a few weeks.”
If that sounds familiar, Progression Coaching is designed for exactly that situation.
This is guided coaching that combines personalised programming with ongoing structure and support, so you always know:
-
What you are doing
-
Why you are doing it
-
How to keep moving forward
You are not left guessing.
You are not locked into long contracts.
You are coached with structure and intent.
What Progression Coaching Is (and Isn’t)
Progression Coaching sits between self guided training and full performance coaching.
Ongoing guidance and accountability
Structured progression and refinements
Clear expectations on both sides
Not daily messaging
Not unlimited contact
Not full 1 on 1 performance coaching
If you’re deciding between options, the differences are outlined clearly in the Support Spectrum.
Who This Is For
Progression Coaching is a good fit if you:
-
Want a personalised program but do not need constant one on one contact
-
Like having a clear plan with a coach checking in along the way
-
Need guidance and accountability to stay consistent
-
Are working toward fat loss, strength, performance, or general fitness
-
Want more support than a self guided program, without the intensity of elite coaching
If you prefer building and running your own plan, explore Build Your Own Training Programs instead.
How Progression Coaching Works
Progression Coaching begins with a 4 week coaching trial.
This initial phase allows both coach and client to ensure the process is the right fit before continuing.
If Progression Coaching is a good match, coaching continues month to month, keeping the relationship flexible and focused on progress rather than contracts.
What’s Included
1. Personalised Training Program
A custom training system built around your:
-
Goals
-
Schedule
-
Training history
-
Available equipment
Programming prioritises structured progression over fixed timelines, with adjustments made based on performance, recovery, and consistency.
Clear exercise guidance is included so you feel confident when training independently.
2. Guided Nutrition Support
Practical, flexible nutrition guidance that supports training and recovery.
This may include:
-
Simple calorie or macro targets
-
Food based strategies
-
Performance focused adjustments
No strict meal plans.
No clinical nutrition protocols.
Just sustainable support that fits real life.
3. Coach Led Check Ins
Regular check ins scheduled weekly or fortnightly, based on what is appropriate for you.
Each check in reviews:
-
Training performance
-
Recovery and fatigue
-
Nutrition consistency
Small, intentional refinements are made to keep progress moving forward.
You are never left guessing what to do next.
4. Ongoing Support Between Check Ins
Direct messaging access for:
-
Clarification
-
Short questions
-
Guidance between scheduled reviews
Communication is timely and focused, providing accountability without overwhelming contact or pressure.
This is support, not dependence.
Ongoing Coaching After the Trial
After the initial 4 week trial, coaching may continue month to month.
This ensures Progression Coaching remains:
-
Productive
-
Intentional
-
Aligned with your goals
Coaching is continued because it’s working, not because you’re locked in.
