Five Programmes, One Standard

Every MF Performance programme runs to a written plan, tracks progress week by week, and adapts to the diary in front of you. Below is what each looks like in practice, plus how the first 12 weeks and remote cadence are structured.

The Programmes

Pick The One That Matches Where You Are

Five programmes covering strength, body composition, return-to-training, powerlifting preparation, and fully remote coaching. Not sure which fits? Book a consult and we will help you pick.

01 / Strength

Strength Base

The foundation programme for adults who want to lift heavier, move better and build a body that holds up to real life. Barbell lifts done properly, accessory work that earns its place, and progression tracked week by week.

Best for people who want a proper training plan built around squat, deadlift and press variants, and who are ready to commit to at least three sessions per week for a full 12 week block.

  • Squat
  • Deadlift
  • Press
  • Row
  • Accessory
  • Progression Log
02 / Composition

Body Composition Reset

For clients whose stated goal is to shift body composition without losing hard-earned muscle. Combines resistance training, targeted conditioning, and structured nutrition guidance built around your real week rather than a rigid plan.

Includes weekly check-ins, honest photo tracking, structured targets, and habit work. Suits clients who want to look and feel leaner without training becoming another job on the to-do list.

  • Fat Loss
  • Muscle Retention
  • Nutrition Targets
  • Weekly Check-Ins
  • Habit Work
  • Photo Tracking
03 / Comeback

Return-to-Training

For adults getting back into structured training after a long break, an injury, or a demanding stretch of life. The programme starts where the body actually is on day one, not where it was five years ago.

Gradual load progression, structured technique rebuilds, and a mindset of patience over punishment. Injury-aware, joint-friendly, and quietly ambitious.

  • Return-to-Lifting
  • Movement Screen
  • Load Ramp
  • Injury-Aware
  • Mobility
  • Confidence
04 / Powerlifting

Powerlifting Preparation

For the lifter with a total in mind. Meet preparation blocks, peaking cycles, opener strategy, and cue-level coaching on the squat, bench and deadlift. Suitable for first-meet lifters through to experienced competitors chasing a bigger platform total.

Includes attempt selection guidance, meet-day timing, and preparation for the reality of competing, not just training for it.

  • Meet Prep
  • Peaking
  • Openers
  • Attempt Selection
  • Bar Speed
  • Recovery
05 / Remote

Remote Programming & Weekly Review

A fully bespoke programme delivered to your phone every week, with video review of key lifts and written feedback. For the self-motivated lifter who trains in their own gym but wants an experienced coach on the other end of the line.

Weekly cadence means the plan adapts to how the week actually went, not to a template that ignores life. Available UK-wide, gym-agnostic, and calibrated to your training age.

  • Bespoke Programme
  • Video Review
  • Weekly Feedback
  • UK-Wide
  • Own-Gym Friendly
  • Written Notes
What A Block Looks Like

What a 12 Week Programme Looks Like

Every programme runs in 12 week blocks. Here is how a typical block breaks down, whether you are training in Reading or working remotely.

Week 0

Consult & Baseline

Free 30 minute call, movement screen, and a baseline of where you are on the key lifts. If we are working remotely, the baseline lifts are filmed and reviewed together.

Weeks 1-4

Base Building

Structured build phase. Volume goes up, load stays honest, and technique is drilled in every session. This is where the operating habits get built and the programme settles into your week.

Weeks 5-8

Development

The middle block. Load progresses on the main lifts, accessory work is adjusted based on what the first month showed, and check-ins get more specific. Adjustments are frequent and small.

Weeks 9-11

Intensification

Volume trims, intensity climbs. This is where the block starts paying back. For powerlifting prep clients, this is where the peaking cycle takes shape.

Week 12

Test & Review

Retest the key lifts, review body composition or physical benchmarks against the baseline, and sit down together to plan the next block. This is where the block earns its keep.

Remote Cadence

How Remote Programming Actually Runs

Remote clients get more than a PDF. Here is the weekly cadence that keeps the coaching honest even when we are not in the same room.

Mon

Weekly Programme Delivered

Fresh programme lands each Monday morning. Sessions, targets, cues, and notes on what to prioritise for the week ahead.

Wed

Mid-Week Check

Quick mid-week message to catch anything the plan needs to know about. Missed session, poor sleep, sore back, or just a great lift worth logging.

Fri

Video Review

Video of the key lifts sent in for review. Written feedback comes back the same day with cues that carry into the next session.

Sun

Weekly Debrief

A short debrief on how the week went, what worked, what did not, and what next week should look like. The following Monday programme is shaped by this conversation.

Formats

Three Ways to Engage

Pick the engagement shape that fits your situation. All three run against the same standards, and all three start with a consult.

Per Session

1:1 In-Person Reading

Direct hands-on coaching at the Reading base. Sessions are 60 minutes, run to a structured programme, and include cue-level technique work and honest feedback.

Monthly

Hybrid Coaching

A blend of in-person sessions and a written programme for the days you train alone. Suits clients who want face-to-face accountability plus a plan for the rest of the week.

Monthly

Remote Programming

Full bespoke programming delivered weekly with video review and written feedback. Available UK-wide and built around your gym, your schedule and your training age.
