How it works
A plan that changes when your week does.
The difference between a plan and coaching is what happens after week two, when work, travel or a stiff shoulder gets in the way.
-
1
You send the details
Your goals, training history, the equipment you can reach and the days you realistically have.
-
2
You get a plan
Built around two to four sessions a week, with loads and progressions you can follow on your own.
-
3
We adjust it
Check-ins, technique videos and your own feedback decide what changes in the next block.
What you get
Enough structure to stop guessing.
You do not need to be fit, lean or experienced to start — that is rather the point of starting. It works for motivated beginners, for returners restarting after a break, and for lifters who want an outside eye on technique and progression.
- a strength programme built around your schedule
- check-ins that keep training realistic and consistent
- video review for the main lifts
- hybrid conditioning blocks — rowing, pacing — when your goal needs them
- adjustments when work, travel or recovery get in the way
- progression you can see week to week
Your coach
Who is coaching you.
I’m Michael, and I’ve been coaching strength for twelve years, eight of them teaching CrossFit and gymnastics classes. I have coached top CrossFit athletes and a national champion in weightlifting, with a number of podium finishes along the way.
Most of my week is neither of those. It is doctors, lawyers and students who have never really felt at home in a gym and want to get stronger without it taking over their lives. No shouting, no motivation theatre, no random workouts — I build the plan around where you are starting and change it when reality does.
Before you enquire
Online strength coaching FAQ
If something is missing here, just ask in your message.
Is online strength coaching good for beginners?
Yes. Beginners benefit most — early structure and technique feedback save you months of trial and error.
What if I miss a week of training?
Work, travel and illness happen. The plan absorbs it — we adjust the next sessions instead of trying to make up for missed ones.
Is this live online personal training?
No. This is app-based coaching with programming, check-ins, messaging and video review. You train on your own schedule. If you want live coaching in Vienna, see personal training.
Can you coach hybrid training, not only strength?
Yes. The default is strength-led, but the plan can include hybrid conditioning — rowing technique, pacing and ergometer work — when your goal is hybrid or Hyrox-style performance.
What is the difference between a training plan and online coaching?
A training plan tells you what to do. Coaching adjusts the plan based on your progress, technique, schedule and recovery.
