FORGEDBLACK
One year. Your body, your challenge, your film.
Private, one-to-one coaching for men over 40 who want more than a programme. A year planned around your life, a challenge worth training for, and the whole thing documented.
Most coaching gives you a programme. This gives you a year.
You've spent twenty years building a career, a family, a life. Forged Black is twelve months spent deliberately building the next version of you — stronger, fitter, with something to show for it at the end.
You'll never wonder what to do next. Every week is planned, every month is reviewed, and the year is working towards something you chose.
The Forged Year Map
It starts with a long call: where you are, what you want, what your life can actually fit. From that I build your Year Map — one page, twelve months, every milestone on it. Roughly:
Your map is built around you, not this template. Holidays, work, family — it all goes in.

Your year, on film.
Not a before-and-after photo. A proper short film of your year — the start, the work, the setbacks, the challenge, and you at the end of it.
You film simple clips on your phone with a guide I give you: walking in, a working set, a two-minute weekly diary. I do the rest. Six to ten minutes, plus a short trailer.
Yours to keep. Private — it's never used publicly unless you say so in writing.
Train towards something
Every Forged Black year builds to one challenge you choose — something you'd be proud to have done. A few ideas:
Picked to suit you and your health. I plan and coach the twelve weeks of preparation.

Everyone completes a health screening first, and anything that needs a doctor's view needs your GP's okay before we start.

Three places only, in return for an honest testimonial at the end. When they're gone, they're gone.
Every place is confirmed after a short call and a health screening. If it's not the right fit, or coaching isn't safe for you, you're refunded in full.
Places are limited because the weekly calls, the reviews and the film are done by me personally.
