FORGED ABROAD · BY INVITATION

The
Reclamation

You've built a successful life. Now let's build one you actually want to live.

A private twelve-month programme for men ready to build their next chapter. It begins with Ollie and Darren spending a normal day in your life, in person, to see exactly where it breaks down — and carries on for the whole year.

TWO PLACES A YEAR · ONE FOUNDING PILOT

I — WHAT THIS IS

Not another programme

From the outside, life looks good. You've built the business, the house, the security. But somewhere along the way the rest of it became meetings, screens, restaurants and repetition — and very little that's actually yours.

The Reclamation is twelve months spent deliberately rebuilding the rest: your body, your routine, what you do with your time, and where you're heading next.

Not a gym packageNot a retreatNot therapyNot a holiday

We don't give you another programme. We help you build a life you can keep living when we're gone.

II — THE METHOD

Five areas. One year.

BODYStrength, fitness and movement you can sustain for decades.

ROUTINESleep, mornings, food, training and recovery — a week that works.

III

EXPERIENCEDoing things again. Sport, travel, adventure, something new.

CONNECTIONActivities and interests that put good people around you.

DIRECTIONWhat the next chapter actually looks like, and how you get there.

III — HOW IT BEGINS

We come to you

Most coaches send you instructions and hope. We start by spending real time in your life — because you can't fix a system you've never seen.

Three visits

The Intensive. In person, with Ollie and Darren — a first stay of three to four days, then follow-up visits in months two and three to check the systems are holding.

ImmersionWe don't start by beasting you. We watch, listen and learn how your life actually runs.

The Forged DayOne normal day, start to finish — morning, work, food, training, evening. We see exactly where it breaks down.

The House ResetWith your permission: the kitchen, your training space, your calendar, how you travel. Small changes that remove friction.

The Systems, installedBy the time we leave, your training, food and week are running — not written on a PDF.

IV — THE SYSTEMS

Built for real life

Every system comes in versions for the weeks that go to plan, and the ones that don't. A bad week should never become a bad month.

TRAININGHome, travel and minimum versions. The minimum session is what saves you when everything goes wrong.

FOODA system, not a diet. Shopping, meals, restaurants, business dinners, hotels — and a plan for bad days.

THE WEEKTraining, work, recovery and the things you enjoy, built into your actual calendar.

V — THE YEAR

The Forged Year Map

Three objectives, four quarters, one page. Built with you in the first fortnight and reviewed every quarter.

MONTHS 1–3Rebuild

The Intensive visits, the systems, the foundations. The most hands-on stretch of the year.

MONTHS 4–6Expand

Life gets bigger. New sport, new interests, travel, more of the people you want around you.

MONTHS 7–9Mission

Preparation for the one thing you chose to do this year — and then doing it.

MONTHS 10–12Reclaim

Look back at what changed. Make it permanent. Plan the next chapter.

VI — THE MISSION

Something worth training for

Every Reclamation year builds to one mission you choose. A long hike. A charity fight. A trip you've always talked about and never taken. It becomes the thread running through the whole year.

If you want us there for it, we can be. Mission support is scoped and priced separately — travel, specialists and logistics included in the proposal. Where a mission needs qualified guides or instructors, we bring them in rather than pretend to be them.

VII — WHAT YOU KEEP

A year, on record

The Field ManualA printed, personal book of your year: where you started, your systems, your map, your mission, your progress.

The ReportsA Reclamation Report at day 90 and day 365. What changed, what didn't, and what's next.

The FilmSix to ten minutes, privately made. Where you were, the hard parts, where you finished. Never shown to anyone without your written permission.

VIII — WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

A father and son

Ollie builds the training, the systems and the documentation. Darren brings thirty years of running sites and getting real things done — and the experience of starting again himself, at 61.

We rebuilt our own lives together this year. That's what we bring into yours.

IX — OUR STANDARD

By day thirty

We don't promise outcomes we can't control. We promise what will be in place:

Your training plan, running
Your food system, running
Your weekly structure, built into your calendar
Your mission chosen
Your Year Map complete
Your starting numbers recorded — strength, body composition, and a GP health check encouraged
The first friction points fixed

If something isn't working, we change the system — not the expectation.

X — BOUNDARIES

Straight talk

The Reclamation is coaching, routine and practical help. It is not medical care, physiotherapy, dietetics or mental-health support. Where you need any of those, we help you find the right qualified professional and work alongside them.

Everyone completes a health screening before starting. Travel, accommodation and specialist costs are set out clearly in your proposal before anything is agreed.

The aim is independence. By the end of the year, you shouldn't need us.
