THE PROCESS:

Every block. Every load. Every cue. Every ride. Every lift.

Every choice compounds.

Behind every athlete who performs under pressure is a system.

This is athletic development; transforming how you think, move & prepare off the horse so you can express skill & precision on the horse.

Executed with intent; to make you strong, explosive & conditioned. So you can ride soft, deliver precise aids & stay stable in the saddle.

This is how you bridge the gap between potential & performance.

When your body is prepared for what your sport demands, your skill can be expressed at the highest level.

TEST.

Find your baseline through testing power, strength, mobility, conditioning.

ANALYSE.

Your sport. Your season. Your demands. Your lifestyle. Your goals.

OPTIMISE.

Fuel. Recovery. Readiness.

TRAIN.

Strength. Power. Stability. Awareness. Conditioning. Mobility.

EVOLVE.

Track. Refine. Peak when it counts.

FAQ

  • All levels. Performance is personal & your “riding level” doesn’t always match your “training age” in the gym.

    We’ve coached Grand Prix riders taking their very first steps with strength training, as well as amateur riders who already have years of gym experience but less time in the saddle.

    Wherever you’re starting from, we meet you there. The goal is always the same: build the physical qualities that transfer into your riding so you can perform at your best.

    If you’re serious about improving your performance, you’re welcome here. Reach out, I’d love to hear from you.

  • Yes. Where you start doesn’t matter as much as having a plan of where you’re going.

    The gym is simply a tool, but it’s a powerful one that allows us to build & continue progressing as your performance does.

    At home & dumbbell work outs are a great place to start, however a core principle of training, especially in athletic development, is challenging the body enough to change. The gym allows us to do this.

  • For most riders, yes. Online coaching gives you structure, accountability & feedback you can revisit. Whether that’s a check-in, video reviews on your form, a voice note with tips or a full video analysis.

    That said, we’ll always be transparent about what we feel is best for you.

  • Every athletes program is built from your assessment results, goals & training history.

    We look at your current performance metrics, riding load & schedule to build a plan that fits you. Each block of training evolves as your strength, power & capacity improve.

  • Yes, we offer hybrid coaching at our private facility in Hawkes Bay, alongside full online options.

    In person sessions combine technical coaching, performance testing & progress reviews.
