Fat loss
Improve body composition while retaining performance and building sustainable habits.
BASELN / PRIVATE COACHING
Not a training template with your name added to it. BASELN is individual online coaching across training, nutrition and physical performance, led by Aian McLennan.

STARTING POINT
Before programming begins, we establish your goals, training history, current ability, available equipment, schedule, nutrition, recovery and anything else likely to influence the result.
Four good sessions that fit your life are considerably more useful than six perfect sessions you can't complete.
YOUR GOAL SETS THE DIRECTION
Improve body composition while retaining performance and building sustainable habits.
Create the training stimulus, progression and nutrition required to build lean mass.
Develop measurable strength through structured progressive training.
Improve conditioning and work capacity intelligently.
Train towards sport, an event or a physical performance objective.
Rebuild consistency, capacity and confidence after time away.
Your goal may sit across several of these. That's normal. It doesn't require buying several programmes.
TRAINING
Your programme is developed around the result you're chasing and the reality you're working with.
The objective isn't to make training complicated. It's to remove the guesswork.
NUTRITION
Nutrition guidance is built around the outcome without pretending every meal will be weighed, photographed and eaten from Tupperware.
Depending on the person, that can mean targets, portions, meal structure, protein, eating-out strategies, habits or more detailed tracking.
The method can change. The objective doesn't.
THE ACTUAL COACHING
Training gives us a plan. Coaching tells us what to do with what happens next.
Progress is reviewed against the things that actually matter for your goal.
Training and technique feedback helps improve how the work is performed, not simply whether it was completed.
Work gets busy. Travel happens. Progress stalls. Something hurts. The plan can respond.
You have a direct line to your coach through the private coaching environment.
You're not left with a programme and told to report back in eight weeks.
GETTING STARTED
The First Block is the opening phase of BASELN Private Coaching. It gives us enough time to assess properly, establish your training and nutrition structure, coach through the early response and understand what needs to happen next.
This is not a challenge or group intake. You start when you're ready.
AFTER THE FIRST BLOCK
If continuing together makes sense, coaching moves into an ongoing format. The objective may evolve. Training may change. Life certainly will. The coaching continues to respond to it.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
WHO THIS WORKS FOR
You do need to be willing to train.
