"Hi, I'm Dean. Before we talk about programmes or plans, I want to know what's actually been getting in the way for you. That's what the Fit Diagnostic is for."

How the Fit Diagnostic Works
It's a free 15-minute check-in that maps out the three things that decide whether your fitness sticks:
How you eat
How you eat - the habits that are helping you, and the ones that are not.
Your daily system
Your daily system - the routine holding it all together (or not).
We go through nine quick questions and you mark each one red, yellow or green yourself. By the end, you'll know exactly what's holding you back. If we go on to train together, it tells us where to focus most of our effort from day one.

Coaching Options
One-to-One Personal Training
Face-to-face sessions with me at The Gym Group Sydenham. Available on 1, 3 or 6-month plans.
Hybrid Coaching
A mix of face-to-face sessions and online coaching, for when you want hands-on support with more flexibility. Available on 1, 6 or 12-month plans.
Online Coaching
Coaching wherever you are in the world, with your training and support delivered online. Available on 1, 6 or 12-month plans.
Home Fitness System
Available in Sydenham and surrounding areas. I visit your home once and set you up to train confidently on your own three times a week. Then I keep you consistent with two coaching calls a month. It's a one-off price for the home visit, then a low monthly price for the calls.
Every plan includes the 30-Day Clean Eating Challenge.
Every coaching plan
What's Included
30-Day Clean Eating Challenge
A self-paced nutrition course with 30 short daily lessons (5-10 minutes each). Every lesson ends with one doable action, not a big overhaul. No crash diet and no restart-on-Monday cycle. It's built for people with genuinely busy weeks. It comes with a Challenge Tracker, a Certificate of Completion, and Your Next 12 Weeks, a follow-on system that turns what you've learned into a permanent habit rather than a one-off.
Assessment and Progress Tracking
We start with your Fit Diagnostic and track your progress from there, so you can see what's changing.
Dedicated Coach
I'm available throughout your coaching to answer your questions via phone, text or email, and to give you the accountability and motivation to keep going.
Community Support
Your environment has an impact on your life, and if you want to stay on track, it helps to be around like-minded people. My Facebook community is there for exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Fit Diagnostic?
A free 15-minute check-in covering how you train, how you eat, and the daily system holding it together. You answer nine quick questions, rate each one red, yellow or green, and leave knowing what's really holding you back.
Do I have to sign up after the Fit Diagnostic?
No. It's free and there's no obligation. If you do want to work together, we'll use it to decide where to focus first.
Where will sessions be held?
One-to-one and hybrid sessions are held at The Gym Group Sydenham, 74-78 Sydenham Road, London SE26 5QE. It's open 24/7, has free parking, and is a short walk from Sydenham station. Online coaching works wherever you are, and with the Home Fitness System, I come to you anywhere in Sydenham and surrounding areas.
Do I need a Gym Group membership?
Not for the Fit Diagnostic. If you go on to train with me at the gym (one-to-one or hybrid), you'll need your own Gym Group membership. Online coaching and the Home Fitness System don't need one.
What's the difference between the coaching options?
One-to-one is all face-to-face at the gym. Online is fully remote, so you can be anywhere. Hybrid sits in the middle: some face-to-face sessions, with the rest of your coaching online. The Home Fitness System is for training at home: I visit once to get you set up, then you train on your own three times a week with two coaching calls a month to keep you on track.
How long are your plans?
One-to-one personal training is available on 1, 3 or 6-month plans. Hybrid and online coaching are available on 1, 6 or 12-month plans. The Home Fitness System is a one-off price for the home visit, then a low monthly price for two coaching calls a month.
Is nutrition included?
Yes. How you eat is one of the three areas we look at in your Fit Diagnostic, and every package comes with the 30-Day Clean Eating Challenge: 30 short daily lessons, each ending in one doable action. No crash diets, just habits that fit a busy week.
