Expert coaching!
The coaching program transformed my strength levels, and I feel more confident than ever. I came to Ian in 2023, with the goal of improving my strength and fitness to compete at Mountain bike race races. Ian helped assess the demands of the sport and gave me a clear focus and structure to my training, developing strength and peak power which began to pay off both in terms of race performance and training capacity. After suffering an Achilles tendon tear last year my training objectives were completly revised. Ian adjusted my program in collaboration with my physio plan aiming for recovery as quickly and as safely as possible. Without his support I am certain I wouldn’t have got back to full fitness as quickly as I did. I would recommend Ian to anyone who is looking to understand how strength and conditioning can help their performance through expert coaching not just for conditioning but the technical execution of the exercises.

Highly recommend!
I started working with Ian through Forth Valley Fencing Club at the start of 2024. I’ve since started training with Ian independently to help adapt the training to my specific needs. The sessions are specific to my sport of fencing and have been planned around the season calendar with different focuses for the off season, pre competition and competition times.
I’ve seen lots of progress in my strength, agility, and overall fitness since I started sessions with Ian which has translated into international results. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their athletic training to the next level

Significant Improvement!
Ian was recommended to us by another UKSCA coach when we were looking to offer strength and conditioning to our members. As he was not familiar with fencing he came along to a few sessions to observe and gain an understanding of the requirements of the sport. He quickly recognised that fencing is a high speed explosive sport with significant demands on the lower limbs and core, which worked out well with his previous experience providing S&C for sprinters.
Fencing attracts participants with a wide range of abilities and our club has members from complete beginners with no athletic background to experienced international team members. Ian is happy to work with any of our members and makes sure everyone gets a programme which is suitable for where they are at and ensures they progress in a safe way. Over the last year and a half the people attending S&C sessions have seen significant improvement not just in their physical strength but also their overall confidence and mental resilience. These factors have of course translated to improved performance on the piste.
In previous years I personally have had a range of niggles with my knees however for the last year I have not had any trouble with them (touch wood!). I am confident that the improved strength and stability provided by Ians coaching has made a significant difference to my ability to enjoy my sport injury free.
I have no hesitation recommending Ian and am looking forward to continuing to work with him in the future
