Online coaching, Dubai & worldwide
Online strength and body composition coaching that starts by looking at how you actually move, then builds a programme around your real week. One coach. No templates.

The problem
You've had gym memberships before. You've followed the plans. You might even be training right now.
But if you're honest, the week looks like this. You sit for most of it. You train when you can. And when you do get to the gym, it feels like going through the motions with no real carryover to your life. Progress stalls, and you're never quite sure why.
The method
Most coaching starts at stage three. You get a hard programme before anyone has looked at what you can currently do. This runs in sequence, and you don't move on until the stage before it holds.
How you move, your history, your nutrition, your starting point. Nothing gets written until this is done.
Build the capacity to train hard before you train hard. The least glamorous stage, and the one that decides the result.
Real load, matched to nutrition targets. Where visible change happens, measured against your own baseline.
Hold it. Training becomes something you can run yourself, at a volume you can sustain for good.
The system
The coaching runs through an app I built specifically for my clients. Not a spreadsheet, not a group chat with a plan pasted in. Everything in one place, on your phone, wherever you train.
Your programme with sets, reps and target weights, plus a video demo for anything you haven't done before. Tick each set as you go.
Every lift logged over time, so progress is something you can see rather than guess at. Your baseline is always there to measure against.
Send form videos, get them back with notes. Check-ins, adjustments and messages all run through the same app, so nothing gets lost.
Included with coaching. Nothing extra to buy or download separately.
Your coach
Most online coaching is a template with your name on it.
Denis, Forge Performance
You've seen the model. An influencer sells the same PDF to five hundred people. A questionnaire spits out a plan nobody looks at again. A "coach" who is really an autoresponder, until you have a question and the replies stop. You are a subscriber, not a client.
That is not this. There is one coach, and it is me. I write every programme, read every check-in and review every form video myself. No junior staff, no copy-paste, no plan you've secretly been sharing with strangers. That is the whole reason I cap how many people I take on, because attention doesn't scale and I'm not going to pretend it does.
I've coached hundreds of people over more than ten years. Long enough to know that the plan has to fit your life, or it doesn't last. That's the whole method in one sentence, and it's why the assessment comes before anything else.
Fit
I take a limited number of clients so each one gets real attention. That means being honest about who it suits, and who it doesn't.
Questions
The things people message about most. If yours isn't here, send it over and I'll answer it.
Most clients train three times a week, around an hour a session. If that genuinely isn't available, tell me and I'll say honestly whether it's worth starting now or waiting.
Coaching is monthly, and the figure depends on how much contact you want. I'll quote you after we talk rather than post a price here, because quoting before I know your situation is how people end up paying for something that doesn't suit them. No lock-in contracts.
The opposite. Beginners make the fastest progress because everything is new stimulus and there are no bad habits to unpick. The first weeks teach you the lifts properly so you're not guessing.
An app gives everyone the same programme and never changes it based on how you responded. I write yours after seeing you move, then rewrite it as your numbers change. You also have someone who notices when you go quiet, which no app has solved.
A gym is ideal. A home setup with adjustable dumbbells and a bench works. Bands and bodyweight only is possible but slower, and I'll tell you that up front rather than after you've paid.
No. You get targets, not a menu. Nothing is banned, because plans that ban foods get abandoned. If you eat out four nights a week, we build around that.
Common, especially with Dubai clients. You get alternatives for every session, and travel weeks get planned rather than written off.
Yes. Month to month, cancel with notice. I'd rather you stay because it's working than because you signed something.
Start here
If you're still doing random workouts and hoping something clicks, it won't. Send me a message and tell me where you're at. I'll tell you honestly whether this fits, including if it doesn't.
