Strength is evolving…

Our Strength programme

Our Strength programme has grown to the point where one size no longer fits all. We’ve got members chasing strength goals and entering competitions…alongside members who simply want to build muscle, improve body composition, get stronger for everyday life and feel great.

The truth is, both goals are equally valid, but they don’t always require the same programming.

So, we’re splitting strength into two pathways.

Strength Perform

This is for members who love competition and chasing strength goals. It’s not about one big lift. It’s about people wanting to maximise their performance.

You’ll focus on developing maximal strength through progressive programming, heavier loads and (often) lower repetition ranges. Whether your goal is a powerlifting competition, Athx, Hyrox, running a 10k…. Perform is designed to maximise performance.

Think:

Heavier weights

Structured Progression

Plyometrics

Performance Testing

Strength standards and milestones.

Strength Physique

This path is for members whose goal is, improving body composition, feeling stronger without the emphasis on lifting as heavy as possible.

You’ll still squat, press, hinge and pull. You’ll still work hard. The difference is that the programming prioritises shape, movement quality and sustainable progression using slightly higher training volumes.

Think:

Looking and feeling stronger (yes “tone up"!)

Moderate loads

Slow repetitions

Overload techniques (e.g quarter reps and drop sets)

One Class. Two Pathways.

The best part?

We’ll still train together.

You might both be squatting, but while someone in Perform is completing 4 sets of 4 heavy back squats, someone in Physique may be performing 3 sets of 15 goblet squats with the dumbbell.

Same movement pattern. Different objective.

Everyone warms up together, supports each other and celebrates each other’s progress. The only difference is that your programme reflects your goals.

Why Are We Doing This?

Because the best programme isn’t the hardest one.

It’s the right one.

By separating performance-focussed programming from physique-focussed programming, we can coach both groups more effectively,

while keeping the atmosphere and community that makes Move Well special.

Whether your goal is to hit a personal best or simply feel stronger, leaner and more capable, there’s now a pathway designed specifically for you.

And before anyone asks…

No you can’t change each week!
