It starts before the session
The first WhatsApp conversation is there to understand what you want from coaching and whether the approach is a fit. We talk through your training history, current routine, old injuries or health considerations, and what would make training realistic rather than another thing you keep meaning to do.
This is also where we discuss language, location and format. Sessions can be coached in English, German or simple Spanish cues, and can happen in Salou, Cambrils, La Pineda, Vila-seca or online.
The location should reduce friction
For most local clients, the best training location is not the most impressive one. It is the one you can repeat. Outdoor sessions usually happen in parks, promenades or open sporting areas near the client so travel time does not become the reason training slips.
In Salou, that might mean a quiet section near the Passeig Jaume I, a park close to home, an open area near Cap Salou or a suitable space near your accommodation if you are visiting.
What we look at first
- Your goals and what has stopped progress before
- Training history, current activity and recovery
- Injury history, pain triggers and current boundaries
- Movement confidence: what feels strong, uncertain or threatening
- A realistic weekly rhythm for sessions and independent training
The first workout is deliberately measured
The first session gives enough stimulus to learn from, but not so much that the next week becomes damage control. We look at movement quality, tolerance, strength entry points and how you respond to coaching cues.
The aim is not to diagnose or treat injuries. If something needs medical or physiotherapy input, that stays in the right professional lane. Coaching then works around appropriate guidance and builds capacity over time.
What happens next
After the first session, you should understand the plan: what we are prioritising, where sessions will happen, how progression will be managed, and what you can do between sessions.
