The short answer

What this is

In-person coaching is not simply supervised exercise. It is structured decision-making applied in real time. Progression is based on capacity, not ego. Load is introduced deliberately, not impulsively. Volume is earned, not assumed. The aim is to build strength, resilience, and capability that can be sustained — not simply achieved. Every 1-2-1 client begins with a Longevity Assessment so the programme is grounded in measured baseline data, not intake forms.

  • Sessions take place at UNTIL, 280 Bishops Square — a few minutes from Liverpool Street station

How it works

What to expect

Getting started

Complete a Longevity Assessment before your first session — this is non-negotiable, not because of policy but because programme decisions need data. Wear standard training clothing with flat-soled shoes for compound lifts. Hydrate well in the 24 hours before each session.

During your sessions

After your sessions

Each session ends with a brief debrief and a clear brief for the next session — what to log, what to focus on, anything to monitor in recovery. Phase reviews happen at scheduled intervals; nothing is left implicit.

Common
questions

How often do clients typically train 1-2-1?

Two sessions per week is the most common frequency for committed clients in a strength development phase. One session a week works well during consolidation phases or when the rest of life is heavy. Three sessions a week is rare — it is generally not the volume that limits results, it is recovery between sessions.

What does a typical session look like?

Sixty minutes of focused work. Five minutes of brief check-in and warm-up specific to the day. Forty to forty-five minutes of the main programme — typically two compound lifts and two to three accessory pieces. Ten minutes of conditioning or mobility work tied to the phase, plus a quick session debrief and brief for next time.

Where are sessions delivered?

At UNTIL, 280 Bishops Square, London EC2M 4RB — a fully equipped strength facility a few minutes from Liverpool Street station. The facility has all the equipment a serious programme needs (squat racks, platforms, dumbbells to 50kg, full barbell range, sled, conditioning equipment) and the space to use them properly.

What should I wear and bring?

Standard training clothing — shorts or tights, a t-shirt, indoor training shoes. Flat-soled shoes (Converse, lifting shoes, or barefoot-style) are preferred for compound lifts. Bring a water bottle. UNTIL has changing rooms and showers if you are coming from work or going on after.

Can I share sessions with a partner or colleague?

1-2-1 sessions are individual — the programming, feedback, and intensity are calibrated to one person. Partner sessions (semi-private 1-2-2 with a colleague or partner of similar ability) are sometimes available; ask during your assessment if this is something you would like to explore.

How long do clients typically stay?

Most clients work in 12 to 16 week phases, then reassess and decide the next move. Some stay continuously for years; others alternate periods of 1-2-1 with phases of online coaching to fit travel or seasonal demands. There is no minimum commitment — but most worthwhile training adaptations take 8 to 12 weeks of consistent work to materialise.
