Six recent engagements. Each one structured the same way: a diagnosable problem, a 8–16 week block, and outcomes you could stake your reputation on. Names redacted, metrics intact.
Case studies
Identifying details redacted at client request. Outcome data is recorded session-by-session.
S. · Partner · Magic Circle firm · 11-week block
Three transatlantic trips and a deal close inside the block. We rebuilt a Tuesday/Thursday strength rhythm with travel-band fall-backs and a hard rule that the second session of the week is non-negotiable. Outcome: deadlift back to 165kg, sleep average up by 47 minutes, zero missed sessions in the final month.
Measured outcome
Deadlift 138kg → 165kg · sleep +47min/night
M. · Managing Director · Asset management · 14-month maintenance
Two private sessions per week plus voice-note check-ins between. No cuts, no programmes from the internet, no class gyms. Resting HR down from 71 to 62, bodyweight down 4.2kg without a deficit phase, back pain on long-haul flights gone since month three.
Measured outcome
RHR 71 → 62 · weight −4.2kg · zero flight back pain
J. · Senior Counsel · Government work · 16-week return-to-strength
Cleared by his physio at week four with conservative loading only. We ran a McGill-flavoured intro block, then layered in trap-bar deadlifts and front squats once symptom-free. Outcome: pain-free at 1.5x bodyweight on the trap bar by week 16.
Measured outcome
Trap-bar deadlift 0 → 142kg · 0 flares since week 6
A. · Founder · VC-backed fintech · 9-week pre-IPO block
Three weeks pre-roadshow with 11 city visits planned. We compressed the block: one in-person session per week, two band-only travel circuits, voice-note check-ins after each. Outcome: he kept the strength baseline through nine weeks of red-eyes.
Measured outcome
−2.1kg fat · same squat 1RM at end of road show
R. · Surgeon · Private practice · 12-week strength block
Right rotator cuff issue from a fall. We worked around it: heavy lower body, scaled push, focused band-and-cable accessory work for the shoulder. Returned to overhead press by week 10. He still trains with us 18 months later.
Measured outcome
Press 0 → 52kg · 0 missed surgical days
K. · CFO · Hospitality group · 8-week intensive
Eight weeks, no extreme deficit. Strength volume up, conditioning fixed at 2× 25min, protein anchored at 1.8g/kg. He looked the way he wanted in the photos and his lifts didn't drop a kilogram.
Measured outcome
−3.6kg · waist −5cm · 5×5 squat unchanged
