Coaches

The coaching team

Four coaches, one standard: clear cues, honest options and good form before heavy weight.
Sample profiles. Names, bios and stock photos show how the team will be presented — they will be replaced with MOTIVE’s real coaches, consented portraits and verified qualifications before launch.

Head coach — Strength

Maya

“Set your feet, then your breath, then the bar.”
Maya coaches the lifts the way she learned them: slowly, clearly and with a lot of patience. Her favourite session is someone’s very first deadlift.

Coach — Conditioning

Daniel

“Start at a pace you could hold for twice as long.”
Daniel builds conditioning sessions that are hard in the right places and kind everywhere else. He spends more time talking about pacing than about pushing.

Coach — Mobility & Recovery

Priya

“Find the edge of the stretch, then stay curious there.”
Priya leads the slower side of the timetable. Her classes are calm, practical and designed so stiff, curious and experienced movers all leave feeling better.
Focus
Mobility · Breath work · Low-impact training

Swimming, gardening and too many podcasts.

Coach — Personal & Small Group

Tom

“Write it down. Next week will thank you.”
Tom writes programmes that fit around real lives — shift patterns, new babies and busy seasons included. He believes the best plan is the one you can repeat.

How we coach

One standard

Whoever is on the floor, you should hear the same things.
01

Know you

Your name, your goals and anything you’d like your coach to know.
02

Offer options

A lighter and a heavier option in every session, every time.
03

Explain why

A reason for every movement in the plan — not just how to do it.
04

Refer on

Work within their qualifications and point you to a professional when needed.
