The challenge

You look after everything except yourself.

Your company, your clients and your family all come first. Your own health gets whatever time is left, which is usually none.

THE DIARY

No time that stays yours

Back-to-back meetings, long-haul flights and late dinners push training to next week, and then the week after.

THE TOLL

Quietly paying for it

A stiff back, a mid-afternoon slump, broken sleep after travel. It starts to feel like the price of the job.

It shouldn’t be. The people carrying the most responsibility deserve to feel their best while they carry it.

What’s at stake

The next ten years will happen either way.

Without a plan

  • Training keeps sliding to next month
  • Niggles in the back, knees and neck turn into lasting pain
  • Energy fades before the last meeting of the day
  • Every business trip undoes a good week

With a plan

  • Three protected hours a week that actually happen
  • You move freely and without pain
  • A clear head and steady energy into the evening
  • Strength and fitness you keep for decades, at home and on the road

How it works

A clear plan, in three steps.

I know how hard it is to protect your health when your time belongs to everyone else. Since 2009 I have coached busy professionals across the UK, Dubai and Switzerland, and the process is always the same.

  1. Book a private consultation

    A confidential discovery call about your goals, your schedule and your travel.

  2. Get your assessment and plan

    A movement and postural assessment, then a three-hour weekly protocol built around your calendar.

  3. Train, travel, feel the difference

    Focused 60-minute sessions in Zug, Baar or Cham, with a plan that keeps working when you are away.

Request a Private Consultation Step one takes about 20 minutes

Approach

Health managed with the same rigour as your portfolio.

Long hours, international travel and high-stakes decisions ask a lot of the body. Together we work on joint resilience, posture and energy, planned precisely and kept to a calendar that does not move.

STRENGTH

Precision strength and conditioning

Evidence-based training that protects your joints, posture and core, and keeps you training for decades.

LONGEVITY

Metabolic longevity and recovery

Biomarker-informed conditioning and recovery planning that protects cognitive bandwidth and physical vitality, within a calendar that does not move.

LOCATION

Where your schedule allows

Sessions at a private facility, your residential gym, or a private outdoor location across Zug, Baar and Cham.

Private coaching

One client, one coach, one plan.

You bring the goal and the calendar. I bring the plan. Every programme starts with a movement and postural assessment, then runs in focused 60-minute sessions.

Terms are agreed after a private consultation, once your goals, schedule and travel are clear.

In their words

What changed for clients.

“From the outset Rob made me feel like the most important person in his schedule and, during the consultation process, he was empathetic and considerate. He never made me feel uncomfortable or awkward. He is incredibly engaging and inspires those around him to take our wellness very seriously.”

Russell Murdoch
Commercial Director, Jacobs

“Rob made sure to personalize his coaching model based on my history, needs and capabilities. He didn’t only coach me for my physical wellness, he invested a lot of time and effort in coaching me on my diet, mindset and sleeping habits.”

Bahaa Alkayyali
Customer Success Leader, LinkedIn

“Rob has changed my life by motivating and inspiring me to lead a healthy lifestyle. He made me aware of all the other aspects I need to consider outside of training and nutrition, such as sleeping routine, getting daily steps, stress management and sunlight exposure.”

Senior Family Physician
