Movement Foundations
Movement Foundations is a beginner strength training programme in Norwich designed for people who feel unsure in gyms and want to build confidence, strength and proper technique. Delivered at The Box, at The Nest in Norwich, intentionally away from the busy gym floor, with all the equipment needed, plus the use of the fantastic LU Interactive Wall, for warm ups with a twist!
Whether you're returning to exercise after years away, struggling with aches and pains, feeling less confident in your movement, or simply wanting to build a stronger foundation for everyday life, this programme meets you where you are.
With a maximum of just six people per group, every session is supportive, friendly and fully coached, giving you the guidance and confidence to learn movements properly and progress at your own pace.
What you'll learn
Over six sessions you'll develop the building blocks that every body needs:
-

What makes it different?
This isn't a bootcamp.
It isn't about exhausting workouts or keeping up with everyone else.
Every exercise is coached, adapted where needed and progressed at your pace. We focus on quality movement, confidence and long-term strength, not quick fixes. You'll finish the programme feeling stronger, moving more confidently and knowing exactly how to continue your journey.
What you'll learn
Movement Foundations is small group personal training. You'll be coached through every movement with guidance tailored to you, while training in a small group that makes it more accessible than one to one personal training.

Why is this different?
Most people do not struggle because they lack motivation. They struggle because no one has shown them how to train properly.
This programme is built on over 20 years of experience working across sport, education, health, and physical activity, helping people build confidence and understanding first.
ADHD-informed coaching recognises that starting and sticking to exercise isn’t just about motivation.
All sessions are structured to reduce overwhelm, with clear guidance, simple steps, and a calm, supportive environment. You won’t be expected to remember lots of instructions or keep up with fast-paced formats. Instead, the focus is on helping you feel settled, capable, and consistent — so training becomes something you can actually maintain, not something that feels like another pressure.
How it works
Start with a free taster session to experience the coaching and environment. Then continue with a 6-session small group personal training programme, which you can complete at your own pace.
