Individual's needs and goals. Alan at Give Me Strength does just that. His expertise in strength and conditioning allows him to treat each client as an elite athlete, whether they are involved in competitive sports or simply looking to improve their overall health and well-being.
Located in Lightwater, Surrey, Give Me Strength is overseen by Alan Hughes, an accredited strength and conditioning coach with the United Kingdom Strength & Conditioning Association (UKSCA). The gym takes a research-based approach, utilising current sports science evidence to achieve results and steer clear of fitness trends and gimmicks.
Give Me Strength offers a range of services aimed at helping clients achieve their goals. Their biomechanical assessment screening allows them to create personalised corrective programmes that can either supplement existing training or be incorporated into new programmes. By analysing data, clients are given direction and benchmarks for progression, whether their goals focus on losing body fat, improving fitness, or rehabilitating from an injury.
The gym also excels in programme development, building programmes that promote adaptations in the body and enhance performance. Their services extend to elite athletes, providing long-term support for their development, conditioning, competition preparation, and recovery. For those looking to improve their performance, Give Me Strength offers strength and conditioning training, focusing on speed and agility, plyometrics, sport-specific metabolic conditioning, and core stability.
Personal training sessions at Give Me Strength encompass resistance training methods, cardiovascular conditioning, boxing/kickboxing pad work, and flexibility development. Additionally, Olympic lifting training is available for those looking to learn an Olympic sport, gain functional strength, complement rehabilitation, or simply experience a different kind of workout.
