ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AN INDIVIDUALISED STRENGTH & CONDITIONING PROGRAM?
Whether you’re returning to training after injury or are looking to support your current endurance program with consistent and effective Strength & Conditioning, we want to help make sure that you are strong and resilient enough to reach the goals you set.
There can be so much frustration when it comes to trying to perform at your best, whether it’s an injury that has sidelined you or not knowing what exercises to do, little setbacks can occur and there is an inconsistent approach to your efforts.
Gone are the days of dis-jointed coaching, searching for your own Physio when an injury crops up or trying to find a PT who understands what strength training for endurance should look like. The trouble with these approaches is that there is no consistency, little consideration overall training load, you’re often left to you own devices between sessions and there is delayed support when it’s needed most.
“our service is so much more than just giving you a set of exercises to perform each week”
We are proud to be a team of multi-disciplinary experts from Coaches to Physiotherapists and Health Professionals, passionate about helping you get the most out of your health and performance, and the ability to communicate and support you on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
Our non-negotiable respect and understanding of strength and conditioning, injury rehabilitation and injury prevention ensures that the weaknesses we’re addressing are specific to you and your needs. Whether we’re guiding you back from injury or maintaining strength during your race season we want to ensure you’re able to train consistently and most importantly do so pain free.
“Overtraining is prevalent within endurance sport. We’re here to change the narrative.”
The belief that you can build enough strength, speed or prevent injuries by just doing your run, bike and swim sessions alone is archaic and completely illogical. By first assessing your mobility, strength and power, looking at your past injury history and training experience and considering your work/life commitments it allows the team to build out a truly unique program that will have you far exceeding your initial expectations.
“With our in-house physiotherapy team we have the expertise to address your injury concerns right away”
Injuries and setbacks can come out of the blue sometimes, which can be shocking and upsetting… especially if you don't know why. To take control of these situations requires hitting the reset button, evaluating your situation, understanding what has been missing and then integrating these aspects into a new routine.
Our team work together to not only make sure you're rehabilitating your injury but also that you move progressively and effectively from rehab back to to full performance.
“I came to SFE after my physio told me the only way to avoid a relapse of chronic achilles tendinopathy and to compete again at a high level was to get super strong in the gym. At the beginning of the initial programme, I was struggling to back squat or deadlift without lower back pain. Now 3 months later I am squatting and deadlifting more than my own bodyweight, the lower back pain is gone and my body feels better than ever. Most importantly, I feel confident again building up my running volume and intensity. Thank you!”

what to expect
Initial Consultation Call
Our first step will be a virtual consultation call, which will give us the opportunity to find out more about you and for us to show you how we work. We’ll discuss your training history, establish what goals you’re working towards and any previous injuries or health concerns. Once on program we’ll set you up on our training platforms and start integrating your new program into your lifestyle.
Individualised S&C Program
Your strength and conditioning program will provide you with the foundations you need for your ongoing performance. We will be providing you with an individualised S&C program that will integrate into your lifestyle commitments and your other training, to build the strength, stability, power, speed and endurance you’ve always been looking for. Furthermore it will provide you with the injury resiliency that many programs cannot guarantee.
Baseline Movement Analysis & Strength Testing
Exploring your key strengths and weaknesses as part of our onboarding process is fundamental to the SFE program as we want to ensure we are tailoring our programming your individual needs and training goals. We will be reviewing your levels of joint mobility, bodyweight strength and maximal strength, all dependant on your levels of training experience.
Physiotherapy Support
Injury management is an essential component of any coaching program. At SFE our Physiotherapy department play a strong role in overseeing our coaching to address any injury concerns and ensure the prevention of overtraining and future injury. This level of support is absolutely fundamental to your longterm training consistency.
Run Gait Analysis
This is far more comprehensive than your standard ‘ shoe shop analysis’. If relevant to your goals, the run gait analysis will look to identify key behaviours that occur when you are placed under intensity and fatigue, and will be used to develop your overall run and S&C programming.
Nutritional Evaluation
From the start we want to have a clear understanding of your nutritional requirements especially as we progress you training towards your performance goals. Optimal energy availability is a critical element for any athlete regardless of your goals and is something we want to be monitoring on a regular basis to prevent overtraining.
Blood and Hormonal Testing
We work closely with trusted health professionals to facilitate the analysis of your blood markers and hormonal status. We need to ensure that your body is healthy enough to meet the demands of the training programming that we will be asking of it.
Daily Accountability, Coach Support and Feedback
Our results are based upon coach and client interaction. The program that you will be following will continuously evolve as a result of numerous life, work and training factors . We provide daily and weekly feedback and accountability across multiple platforms to ensure that you feel supported and recieve the highest standard of service possible.

HOW DO WE GET THE RESULTS WE DO?
There is a common trait amongst the individuals that we work with, and that is an ‘absolute love of what they do’.
They have a passion for running the trails, hiking through the mountains, a need for adventure and a desire to keep doing what they love for many years to come.
This is why we place client education high on our priority list. Our aim is to give you the tools to arm you with the knowledge, intuition and logic that you can apply to your training and the power to look past inadequate/ faddy advice that would potential sidetrack and injure others around you.
