A program written for you, by the coach who trains you.
Not a gym membership. A coaching relationship — built on trust, structure, and adjustment over time. Here’s what that looks like.
No two members train the same way. Some come in for body composition and want every metric tracked. Others want to leave the data at the door and just train. Some need to be pushed hard. Others need a measured, steady build with pain or injury in mind. Some are starting strength training in their 40s, 50s or 60s. The work is always individualised — that’s what proper coaching looks like.
What we do for every member.
01
Your program
Written for you, before you arrive.After your assessment, your coach writes a plan built around how you move, the exercises you like and don’t, and what you want out of training. It runs in four-week blocks and it’s ready before your first session. Not a template. Not a generic plan.
02
Your sessions
Every session is coached.Your coach knows your history, your goals, and how you move. Load, technique, tempo and progression are managed in real time — every rep, every adjustment — because that’s what proper coaching looks like.
03
Your reviews
Every four weeks, we look at the whole picture.Progress reviewed, program adjusted, and a body composition re-scan if it’s useful for your goals. We course-correct on what the data says, not guesswork.
04
The NEPA Method
Notice, Evaluate, Prescribe, Adjust. It’s how we decide what needs to change, whether that’s during a session or in your next four-week block.
“They actually know what they’re doing. I hate pretenders … they’ve trained and they’ve competed on the world stage themselves, and they keep reading up and studying world’s best practice.”

What your first session feels like.
When you walk in, your program is already loaded on the tablet, so your phone can stay in your bag. Your coach takes you through the whole session — the warm-up, every set, every load. If something doesn’t feel right against what we planned from your assessment, we change it on the spot and let the rest of the team know. Nobody gets thrown in the deep end. The first few weeks are about one thing: getting you moving and settled into a routine that holds.
The people who’ll coach you.
All five coaches hold university degrees in exercise science. At your free assessment we match you with the coach who’ll train you, based on fit and on when you can train. Most members keep the same coach week to week, and the whole team reviews every member’s file together on Tuesdays — so whoever takes your session knows your program, your history and what changed last week.

How We Build Your Program
Every program at State of Fitness is built from scratch — based on your assessment, your goals, and data from every session. Here’s a look at how our coaches put it all together.
How We Track Your Progress
Every session is logged and every program is reviewed. Body composition scans are up to you. Either way, we always know what’s working, what isn’t, and what comes next.
Evolt 360 Body Composition Scanner
Not just weight. The Evolt 360 gives us a full picture — muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, hydration levels, and metabolic data. If you choose to have a scan, we can repeat it whenever it’s useful for your goals, so you can track changes over time.
Strength Tracking
Every session is logged. Load, sets, reps, and RPE (rate of perceived exertion). Over weeks and months, the data tells a story your memory can't.
Mobility & Pain Tracking
Via the SOF App. If something’s sore, stiff, or improving, it’s logged, and your coach works around it in the session and in the next block.
Start with a conversation.
A free 15-minute call with a coach. We’ll talk through where you are, what you’re looking for, and whether we’re the right fit. If we are, we’ll book you in. If we’re not, we’ll tell you that — and point you somewhere better suited.
