What a subscription includes

Six parts, and nothing inside any of them depends on buying anything else - no supplements, no equipment, no second subscription, no tier above the one you are on. There is one price and it is the whole library.

1

Forty programs, already planned

A program takes what the guides explain and puts it on a calendar. Which days are hard, which are easy, which variable moves this week and which one waits. You stop assembling a plan and start following one.

  • Forty programs, ten in each section, from four weeks to twelve
  • Three levels of each - first time, returning, experienced
  • The decisions made in advance, with the reasoning shown
  • Swap a week out when life happens, without losing the thread

2

Six hundred movements, shown

Reading how a movement works and seeing it are different things. Every movement in every program is demonstrated, so you are never guessing from a paragraph while holding a weight.

  • Over six hundred demonstrations, filmed from two angles
  • What the common errors look like, not only the correct version
  • Follow-along sessions for the days you would rather not think
  • Downloadable, so a basement gym with no signal is not a problem

3

Two hundred meals, with the shopping done

The nutrition guides teach you to read a label and build a plate. The kitchen does that week for you: what to cook, what it makes, and the list to take to the shop.

  • Two hundred and twenty meals, each with the label arithmetic shown
  • A plan for every week of every program, and a list generated from it
  • Omnivore, vegetarian, low-budget and no-cook versions of each week
  • Scale any plan to one, two or a family without redoing the maths

4

Ninety-two more guides

A hundred guides in total, and the eight on the open site are the sample. The rest of the library comes with a subscription, along with the courses that take a subject past what a single piece can carry.

  • Ninety-two further guides, written to the same rule as the free eight
  • Eighteen multi-part courses - sleep, load management, eating around training
  • Every one carries the date it was last checked
  • Printable, because some things belong on a wall rather than a screen

5

A record that survives the week

Training memory is short and self-report is unreliable. The log is the part people keep using long after they have stopped following a plan.

  • What you lifted, ate and slept, in one place
  • Last week in front of you before you start this one
  • A weekly review that takes nine minutes and asks four questions
  • Export everything, any time, and take it with you

6

Something new every month

The library is not a box that shipped once. A new program lands every month, and the existing ones are revised when the guidance behind them changes.

  • A new program every month, across the four sections
  • Existing programs re-checked on a schedule, with the date shown
  • Seasonal weeks - the winter one, the travelling one, the injured one

What stays free, and what you pay for

Everything already published on this site stays free, permanently. The subscription is not a key to it - it is a different kind of thing.

Free, always

Eight guides, open

The eight on this site, in full. No paywall, no email wall, no truncation.

Every section

Fitness, Nutrition, Recovery and Wellness, and whatever is added to them.

The Sunday brief

One idea, one meal, one habit, every week.

The arithmetic

The worked examples, the templates and the checklists inside the guides.

With a subscription

Something new every month

The library is not a box that shipped once. A new program lands every month, and the existing ones are revised when the guidance behind them changes.

The programs

Forty programs, ten in each section, from four weeks to twelve, each at three levels. Three of them, to show the shape:

6 weeks, recovery-first

The quiet half

Built from the two recovery guides and the easy/hard framing in Fitness.

4 weeks, food and review

Ninety minutes on Sunday

Built from the protein and label guides, with a weekly review at the end of each week.

8 weeks, training structure

Two hard, two easy

Built from the two fitness guides, with the overload variables changed one at a time.

What a program will never be

  • No supplements, and no supplement partners.
  • No meal replacements and no macro app.
  • No trial that converts quietly. If there is ever one, what it turns into and on which day is stated before you start it, not after.
  • No before-and-after photographs, ever.
  • No coach in your messages at eleven at night, and no upsell inside a program you have already paid for.

On price

The price is not published yet, so nothing on this page can be bought today. When it is, it appears here first: the amount, how often it renews, what happens at the end of any trial, and how to cancel - all of it visible before you enter a single detail.

There is no early-bird, no founding-member tier and no countdown. If you ever see one of those on this site, something has gone wrong and we would like to know.

Until then the buttons on this page are inactive rather than hopeful. A subscribe button above an unanswered price is the oldest trick in the category and we are not going to run it.

An empty room in early light.

Recovery week: a five-guide sequence you can run this week

The nearest thing to a program that exists right now, and it is free and finished. Read them in this order, one a day, and give the week the shape the first guide describes.

  1. The quiet half of getting stronger
  2. A sleep window is easier to keep than a sleep target
  3. Train easy, recover hard
  4. Progressive overload, without the spreadsheet
  5. What 90g of protein actually looks like
