Generic training keeps you stuck
Pain that gets ignored
Most trainers count reps. We ask why something hurts before we add weight.
Injury, then restart
You build momentum, something flares up, and you start again from scratch.
Discharged, not ready
Physio got you out of
pain, but you don't trust your body under load
yet.
Plans built for someone else
Template programmes don't know your body,
your history or your week.

Your coach, every session
Alexander Khang
ISRM Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapy · 6+ years in MSK rehabilitation · 5+ years coaching strength
Alexander coaches every session himself. He spent years treating injuries before he coached around them, so he understands what an injured body can take and how to build its capacity, week by week.
