Strength training should have a purpose.
You might want to become stronger, improve your sporting performance, get back to exercise after an injury or simply feel more confident in the gym.
At Summit Physio, our Strength & Conditioning coaching starts with you — your current ability, your experience and what you want to achieve.
From there, we create a personalised training programme and give you the support you need to make meaningful progress.
Strength & Conditioning is often associated with elite sport, but the principles can benefit people at every level.

Summit offers one-to-one coaching built around the individual, from people simply looking to become more active through to experienced athletes.
Strength & Conditioning isn’t about giving everyone the same gym programme.
Good coaching considers what your body needs to become better prepared for the activities you want to do.
Depending on your goals, your programme may include:
Your goal will determine how your programme is structured.
Develop strength progressively using exercises suited to your experience and ability.
Build the physical qualities your sport demands, whether that means strength, power, conditioning or a combination of all three.
Strength & Conditioning can help bridge the gap between rehabilitation and returning fully to exercise or sport.
If you’re unsure what to do in the gym, one-to-one coaching can help you learn how to train safely and with greater confidence.
You don’t need a competition or performance target. You may simply want to move more, feel fitter and build a stronger body.
The process starts with understanding where you are now and where you want to get to.
Your first session gives us the opportunity to understand:
The initial consultation is designed to give your coach enough information to build a programme around your individual needs.
Using the information gathered during your consultation, your coach will create a personalised Strength & Conditioning programme.
There isn’t a generic template that everybody follows.
Your programme should reflect your starting point, experience and goals.
Your coach can take you through the exercises, explain why they’re included and make sure you’re comfortable performing them.
Adjustments can be made where necessary.
As your ability improves, your training can evolve.
Exercises, loads and training demands can be progressed to keep you moving towards your goal.
Strength & Conditioning can work alongside several other Summit services.
Training is built around your goals, experience and physical ability.
