PERSONAL TRAINING, REIMAGINED.

While it’s possible to make progress independently, working with a personal trainer at PSL offers distinct advantages. You’ll receive expert guidance across training, nutrition, recovery, and more - all personalised to your goals. Many people struggle with consistency, technique, and programme planning; our structured, data-driven approach ensures you’re set up for sustainable, long-term success with the support and accountability you need to reach your potential.

At Pinnacle Strength Lab, we’ve reimagined what personal training can be. This isn’t just about workouts—it’s about comprehensive, transformative coaching that covers every aspect of your fitness journey, including: Personalised Training and Nutrition: Fully tailored programmes that adapt to your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. Science-Backed Approach: A commitment to evidence-based methods, avoiding trends and fads, so you see real, sustainable results. Full Support: From training to nutrition, supplements, recovery, and more, James provides support that goes beyond a typical personal trainer including 24/7 access for any questions or support via email, message or WhatsApp. Private Facility: Train in a focused, distraction-free environment with no crowds, ensuring you get the most out of every session. Expert Guidance: Led by James, a highly qualified coach with decades of experience and continuous learning from the best in the industry.

At Pinnacle Strength Lab, we provide a comprehensive, premium experience that goes far beyond standard personal training. Here’s what you can expect when you invest in our tailored approach: Initial Consultation and Assessment A thorough assessment to kickstart your journey, including an online questionnaire and a 60-minute physical assessment. We assess body composition (lean mass vs. body fat), structural balance, functional movement screening (FMS), and nutritional status. This in-depth approach helps us tailor your programme to your unique needs from day one. Bespoke Training Programme A completely personalised training plan crafted around your goals and specific requirements. Each session is designed to bring you closer to your aspirations, whether they’re focused on strength, athletic performance, or overall wellness. Detailed Nutrition Guidance and Recipes Receive expert nutritional guidance with a focus on building a solid foundation. We provide meal ideas, recipes, and a shopping list, empowering you to make choices that support sustainable health improvements. Supplement Recommendations As part of our science-based approach, we offer curated supplement advice in partnership with Nutri-Dyn, one of the UK’s top-quality providers. You have the option to purchase these high-grade supplements through us (at retail price) or from your preferred source. While supplements are optional, they’re carefully selected to complement and optimise your progress. Accountability Check-ins Regular check-ins to keep you on track and motivated. We’re with you every step of the way, providing feedback, encouragement, and adjustments to ensure you’re progressing as planned. 24/7 Support and Guidance Get access to 24/7 support via email and WhatsApp, allowing you to reach out with any questions or for a boost of motivation whenever you need it. Bi-weekly Body Composition Analysis Every two weeks, we assess your body composition to monitor progress, fine-tune your training, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure continuous improvement aligned with your goals. Our commitment is to provide you with an unparalleled, results-driven experience that encompasses every aspect of health, fitness, and well-being. At PSL, your success is our mission.

While your specific results will depend on your unique goals - whether that’s fat loss, strength building, improved athletic performance, or recovery - our clients consistently report more than just physical changes. With our comprehensive, science-based approach, you can expect to unlock a new level of potential, achieving more than you may have thought possible. In just a few weeks, most clients notice: A noticeable change in body composition within 14 days. Increased energy levels that keep you going all day. Clearer, healthier skin and an overall glow. Improved sleep quality and feeling more rested each morning. Enhanced confidence and mental resilience from meeting your goals. Elevated mood and reduced stress, thanks to a whole food diet and regular exercise. Better focus and productivity, both in and out of the gym. Over time, as you stay consistent with our programme, you’re also investing in a longer healthy lifespan. This commitment to a balanced, nutrient-dense diet and tailored training routine supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and protects joint and muscle function, keeping you feeling strong, agile, and youthful. Many clients also find themselves gaining a greater appreciation for what their bodies can achieve, leading to a newfound sense of empowerment and a higher quality of life. In short, we’re here to help you unlock your full potential - not just in terms of physical appearance but in every area of your life.

At PSL, we believe that achieving lasting results requires commitment and consistency. Here’s what we ask of you: Commitment to Change: Be ready to fully embrace the necessary lifestyle changes and follow our guidance. We ask you to abstain from alcohol, wheat and processed food for the first 14 days, and to follow your nutritional guidance 90% of the time for optimal results. Training Sessions: Attend three to four training sessions each week. There are always legitimate reasons why you may not be able to make training sessions, but not having time isn’t one of them. Food Tracking: Track your food intake using the MyFitnessPal app and provide James with access to review this regularly. Weekly Biofeedback Tracking: Complete a quick Biofeedback Tracker each week to help us monitor your progress and adjust as needed. This tracker covers key areas like energy, sleep, and stress. Give Your All: Be positive, give 100% commitment and embrace your journey!

Your Initial Consultation: Your journey with PSL begins with an initial 60 minute online consultation with James, which you can book at a time that suits you. Before this session, you’ll be asked to complete a comprehensive questionnaire to provide insight into your lifestyle, health, and fitness goals. During the consultation, James will walk you through the ways he can support you and discuss the available options tailored to your needs. This session is all about ensuring you feel confident and informed about the process. After the consultation, James will send you a summary of what was discussed, giving you a clear overview to help you decide if PSL is the right fit. Your Assessment: If you choose to move forward, the next step is an in-depth 90 minute assessment, conducted in person at PSL’s private training facility. This assessment includes: Biosignature Modulation to analyze how your body stores fat, providing insights into potential hormonal imbalances. Body Composition Analysis to measure lean mass vs. fat mass, setting a baseline for your progress. Functional Movement Screening (FMS), involving exercises like an overhead squat, seated rotation, and active leg raise to identify any areas needing improvement for optimal movement. Following the Assessment: You’ll receive a Welcome Guide detailing everything you need to know about working together, including instructions for booking sessions, personalised nutritional guidance and any initial recommended supplements. With the insights from your initial consultation, questionnaire, and comprehensive assessment, James will design a fully personalised training programme that aligns with your goals and needs ahead of your first training session together. This clear roadmap ensures that your PSL journey is organised, impactful, and fully tailored to help you achieve your goals.

Each session at PSL lasts one hour and is completely tailored to your individual goals, fitness level, and progression. We coach you on proper technique and form to maximise results and prevent injury. Additionally, every two weeks, we’ll conduct a body composition analysis to track progress and adjust your programme if needed. During sessions, we’ll check in with you as to how you‘re feeling about the programme, your nutrition and anything to discuss from your weekly biofeedback tracker. We encourage open communication about any challenges you’re facing, such as how to successfully deal with an upcoming social event or perhaps a specific aspect of the nutrition guidelines, as we can use our time together to discuss solutions that work for you and your lifestyle.

For you to achieve the best results possible on your journey, you will need to commit to training between three to four training sessions each week. Each session lasts one hour, and we’ll assess your body composition measurements every two weeks to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to your programme.

Our nutritional guidance focuses on building a solid foundation to support your overall well-being and results. Initially, we’ll ensure you’re consuming enough protein, drinking sufficient water, and focusing on nutrient-dense whole foods. This approach helps improve sleep, energy levels, and hormonal balance, while reducing hunger and cravings. As you progress, we’ll refine your nutrition to focus on factors like calories, macronutrients, and timing of carbohydrate intake to maximise results. You’ll receive personalised guidelines, explanations on how these changes support your goals, and practical resources like shopping lists and meal ideas with recipes. Flexibility is key, so you’ll have choices within the guidelines, and James is available by message, call, or email for ongoing support.

Yes, James may recommend supplements based on scientific research and evidence to support your health and goals. The quality of supplements is important and not well regulated, so we’ve developed relationships with some of the UK’s best supplement providers, and you’ll have the option to purchase these through us or to source them independently. Supplements are always an optional part of any programme.

Absolutely. We work with anyone who is committed to changing their lifestyle and working towards achieving their goals. Our nutritional guidelines are adaptable to any dietary preferences or restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options. We provide meal ideas and recipe suggestions that you can tailor to fit your lifestyle, while still meeting your nutritional needs and goals. Our approach emphasises flexibility, allowing you to plan your meals within the nutritional framework we provide.

No specific fitness level is required to start working with us. Our programmes are tailored to meet you where you are, whether you are completely new to training or a seasoned athlete. We’ll design a plan that respects your current capabilities and gradually builds your strength, endurance, and confidence over time.

Absolutely. At Pinnacle Strength Lab, we frequently work with clients who have a history of injuries or have limitations that affect certain movements. If you have an existing injury or a past injury that impacts your ability to perform certain exercises, please let us know during your initial consultation. We believe that training should support and enhance your recovery and performance, not hinder it. Our programmes are customised to accommodate your specific needs and limitations, allowing you to safely work towards your goals without compromising your health. James will tailor exercises to suit your abilities and ensure you’re always progressing within a safe, effective framework. If you’re currently seeing a medical professional for an injury, we recommend sharing any relevant information or recommendations with us so we can integrate it seamlessly into your programme.

Our programmes are designed to work within the realities of your lifestyle, including factors like business travel, social events, and dining out. James will collaborate with you to find solutions that allow you to stay on track while accommodating these aspects. For example, you can share a menu with James ahead of social occasions and he can help you to make informed decisions and consider how to incorporate your choices into your nutrition plan for the week. Together, we’ll create a flexible plan that ensures consistent progress, even with a busy schedule.

Absolutely. Many of our clients lead busy lives, balancing demanding careers, family responsibilities, and other commitments. From executives and business owners to busy professionals and working parents, our clients share one common goal: they want to transform their health and achieve lasting fitness results despite their busy schedules. At Pinnacle Strength Lab, we understand the unique challenges that come with a full schedule. We’ve developed effective tools and flexible methods to help you navigate a busy lifestyle while staying on track with your health and fitness goals. With your feedback, we’ll tailor every aspect of your programme - from workouts to nutrition - to fit your individual needs, helping you achieve sustainable results without compromising your commitments.

We are committed to your success and confident that if you fully commit to your programme and embrace your journey, you’ll achieve your goals. However, if after 30 days you feel you’re not on track to reach your goals and are unsatisfied with your progress, we’ll refund your investment in full. This guarantee reflects our confidence in the effectiveness of our programme and our dedication to supporting you every step of the way.
