What if you could see exactly how your body moves, loads and produces force?

In this reel we take a closer look at what actually happens during an assessment using our Gait & Motion system alongside the Easy Base force plates.

This setup allows us to deeply analyse movement patterns, loading through the feet, balance, stability and force production. The kind of data that helps us either prevent injuries before they happen or identify the root cause of existing issues.

Whether you’re a golfer, runner, Hyrox athlete or simply someone who wants to move and train better, these assessments give us a clear picture of what your body is doing under load.

The real advantage is how bespoke each session can be. We can tailor assessments to specific sports, movements and performance goals, giving athletes genuine insight into how they move and where improvements can be made.

Train smarter. Move better. Perform longer.

To book an assessment, get in touch via DM or email.

What do British marathon champions like Paula Radcliffe, Sir Mo Farah and Eilish McColgan have in common? 👟

They’ve all had a biomechanical assessment using Footscan technology.

With marathon season approaching, now’s the time to make sure your foundations are solid. A Footscan assessment shows exactly how your feet load and function under pressure, helping us spot:

• Left vs right imbalances
• Over-pronation or supination
• Instability during foot strike
• Abnormal pressure that could lead to injury

In clinic we use this data to optimise your training, reduce injury risk, improve comfort in your running shoes and, if needed, discuss bespoke orthoses.

Don’t wait until something starts hurting.

Prepare properly. Train smarter. Run stronger.

Get in touch to book your Footscan assessment and get marathon-ready from the ground up. 🏃‍♂️🔥

Think push ups stop being effective once you get strong? Think again. 👀

This is our final push up progression and now we’re adding resistance.

Once you’re competent with your bodyweight reps, it’s time to overload the movement properly. In this reel we demonstrate resisted push up variations designed to increase intensity, challenge stability and build serious upper body strength.

More resistance.
More control.
More progression.

This is how you turn a “basic” exercise into a serious strength builder.

The key? You only earn this level by mastering the foundations first. If your positioning, core control and elbow tracking are locked in, the gains come fast.

Do it properly. Stay consistent. Increase the resistance over time.

Big gains from simple movements.

If you’re unsure whether you’re ready to progress, drop us a DM and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Still think kneeling push ups are “too easy”? 👀

This is where most people go wrong.

In this next progression, we move away from the incline and onto the floor. We start with a kneeling push up to lock in hand position, shoulder alignment and core control before progressing to a full push up.

Hands slightly forward of the shoulders.
Elbows tucked.
Chest low.
Flat back.
Strong core.

Then we level up again using a band-assisted push up to bridge the gap to a full strict rep.

These might look like basic drills. They are.

But if you skip this stage, you’ll always fight your form later down the line.

Nail these positions now and full push ups become smoother, stronger and far more effective.

Master the foundations. The strength follows.

The simple push up… or is it? 👀

Most people think they’ve mastered it.
But when you break it down properly, it becomes one of the most powerful staples in any workout programme.

In this reel, Laurence walks you through the foundations of the push up – focusing on control, positioning, and engaging the right muscle groups. Get this right and you build strength in your chest, shoulders, core and triceps while also learning key movement patterns that carry over into almost every upper body exercise.

The best part?
No equipment needed. No excuses. This can be done at home, at the gym, anywhere.

And this is just the beginning.
We’ll be progressing this step by step in upcoming reels, so keep your eyes peeled.

Serious about performance? Then guessing isn’t good enough.📈

We recently headed to a local golf club to carry out gait analysis and force testing for a group of regular golfers who also compete in Hyrox. Different sports, same goal… move better, produce more force, reduce injury risk.

Using the Meloq Easy Base force plates alongside the Gait & Motion pad, we were able to break down exactly how each athlete produces force, loads through the feet, and transfers power through the body.

This is where real progress starts.
Not opinions. Not guesswork. Data.

If you’re training hard but not measuring anything, you’re leaving performance on the table.

In the next few reels we’ll break the session down in more detail, what we found, and how we turn this data into smarter training.

Stay tuned.

Think your RDL is solid? Try it on one leg…

In the final stage of our RDL progression series, Laurence breaks down the assisted single-leg RDL and the unassisted single-leg RDL.

These variations bring together everything we’ve built so far — hinge control, balance, posture and tension — while challenging stability and exposing any weaknesses side to side.

Master these, and you create a strong foundation to confidently move into heavier barbell RDLs with the right mechanics.

They also complement your main RDL work perfectly within any gym programme.

Strong hinge. Strong hamstrings. Strong movement. 💪

RDL Progressions — Next Stage

In this video, we begin adding load to the movement. Starting with a kettlebell RDL to introduce weight while maintaining control, then progressing onto the barbell to get familiar with the full movement pattern before adding heavier loads.

This stage is all about reinforcing good hinge mechanics, posture and tension so you’re ready to lift safely and effectively.

In the next video, we’ll be breaking down single-leg RDLs and how they can improve balance, stability and strength. 💪

Struggling with Romanian deadlifts?

In our next progression series, we break the RDL down from the very beginning — focusing on form, control and feel before loading the movement.

Across the next few reels, we’ll take you from the basics through to the full RDL, broken down into bite-sized steps to help you move better and lift with confidence.

In this first video, we’re mastering the initial movement pattern — the foundation that makes everything else click.

Nail this, and the rest becomes far simpler. 💪

Squat Progressions — Episode 4: Barbell Squats

The final step in our squat progression mini series focuses on barbell-loaded squat techniques — the front squat and the back squat.

These are the squat variations you’ll see most often in the gym and where strength, control and good technique really matter.

From Episode 1 through to Episode 4, you now have a clear, easy-to-follow guide to squatting safely and effectively, building from supported movement all the way to barbell strength.

Stay tuned for more exercise breakdowns coming soon — and let us know if there’s a specific movement or exercise you’d like us to cover next. 💪
