BASELN / PRIVATE COACHING

COACHING THAT STARTS WITH YOU.

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

First, we work out what you actually need.

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

One service. Different objectives.

Fat loss

Improve body composition while retaining performance and building sustainable habits.

Muscle

Create the training stimulus, progression and nutrition required to build lean mass.

Strength

Develop measurable strength through structured progressive training.

Fitness

Improve conditioning and work capacity intelligently.

Performance

Train towards sport, an event or a physical performance objective.

Return to training

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

Programmed for the person doing it.

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

Food has to work outside the spreadsheet.

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

The programme is only the start.

Training gives us a plan. Coaching tells us what to do with what happens next.

Review

Progress is reviewed against the things that actually matter for your goal.

Feedback

Training and technique feedback helps improve how the work is performed, not simply whether it was completed.

Adjustment

Work gets busy. Travel happens. Progress stalls. Something hurts. The plan can respond.

Communication

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

Every client starts with a First Block.

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

Keep going when there's more to do.

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.

WHO THIS WORKS FOR

You don't need to be an athlete.

You do need to be willing to train.

  • You've trained for years but lack direction.
  • You want to lose body fat without living on a diet.
  • You want to build muscle properly.
  • You want measurable strength or better fitness.
  • You're returning after time away.
  • You have a specific event or objective.
  • You want somebody competent making the training decisions.

Experience changes the prescription. It doesn't determine whether you belong here.

FAQ

Clear before you apply.

Do I need a gym?

No. Your programme is based on the environment and equipment realistically available to you.

How many days will I train?

There isn't a standard answer. Frequency is determined by your goal, experience, schedule and recovery.

Do you provide nutrition coaching?

Yes. The level of structure depends on the individual and the outcome being pursued.

Is this a group programme?

No. BASELN Private Coaching is individually delivered.

Can I ask questions between reviews?

Yes. Communication is part of the coaching relationship rather than being restricted to a programme handover.
