• There’s no single type. Ages, backgrounds, and goals vary. The common thread is a preference for structured, purposeful training.

  • That’s a fair question.

    Strength is a big part of what we do, but it’s not the whole picture.

    We treat strength as a foundation of what most people think of as fitness, and as a skill in its own right. It isn’t just about producing force, it’s about how well that force is controlled.

    That control comes from coordination, balance, range of motion, how different muscles work together, and awareness of where your body is in space. Those qualities influence how efficiently you move and how much effort movement requires.

    Alongside that, we do conditioning work to build fitness in a more traditional sense, heart rate, breathing, and work capacity. The difference is that it’s layered on top of good movement and strength, rather than replacing it.

    That’s why strength sits underneath almost everything we think of as fitness.

  • No.

    Training starts at an appropriate level and progresses from there. Sessions are coached to suit your experience, with the aim of building strength, fitness, and confidence over time.

  • There’s no single right answer.

    The right training frequency depends on your goals, schedule, experience, and recovery. For most people, two or three sessions per week is a sensible rhythm.

    That doesn’t mean every session has to be at Tarring Strength. Some people do all their training here, others combine coached sessions with solo work, runs, or classes elsewhere.

    What matters most is consistency. Training often enough to make progress, but not so much that it becomes hard to sustain.

  • Coaching runs on a monthly plan, based on how many sessions per week/month you train.

    Flexibility is provided by the option to scale this up or down as you require.

    So you are never tied in for for more than a month.

  • That’s common, and it’s part of the coaching process.

    Training takes your history into account and is built around how you move, with the aim of improving capacity rather than avoiding everything that feels difficult.

    Over time, the goal is for movement to feel more comfortable and more reliable.

  • Weight loss is a common goal, and training can support it, but it’s rarely the whole solution.

    Progress usually comes from a combination of training, nutrition, sleep, daily movement, and consistency. We look at how those pieces fit together in a way that’s realistic and sustainable.

    The focus is on changes that support your training and hold up over time, rather than short term fixes..

  • Nutrition plans, no, but guidance, absolutely.

    Nutrition plays a big role in how training feels and how progress shows up, so it’s part of the wider conversation. The aim is to simplify things and help you understand what you’re doing, rather than hand you something to follow blindly.

  • Pricing depends on what structure fits you, whether that’s 1-to-1 or 1-to-2 coaching, and how often you train.

    Everything is outlined clearly before you commit, with no hidden costs or sales tactics. The focus is on finding what’s right for you, not selling you more.

  • Send a message sam@Ttarringstrength.co.uk or fill out the contact form to arrange an initial conversation. We’ll talk about your goals, training background, an lifestyle, look at how you move and then decide if Tarring Strength feels like the right fit.

    No cost, no obligation.

  • No. Tarring Strength is focused on in-person coaching.

    I believe good programming requires an understanding of how someone moves, how they respond to training, and how it fits into the rest of their life. Regular in person coaching is vital to obtain this feedback.

    I can provide programming for clients I coach face to face, to support their own training outside our sessions as part of a monthly plan.
