Movement Assessment
Your coaching begins with an assessment of mobility, stability, coordination, control and movement quality. This creates a clearer understanding of how your body moves and what may be affecting your training.

The DB Method
A method that looks beyond the workout.
The DB Method combines personalised strength training, movement assessment, biomechanics, corrective exercise, nutrition habits, lifestyle, recovery, female physiology and relevant blood-marker considerations.
Each element is considered in relation to you: your goals, your body, your schedule, your experience and the results you want to achieve.
Defined Beyond. Built Around You.

More Than Personal Training
No two women move, recover or respond to training in exactly the same way. The DB Method brings together strength coaching, movement analysis, female physiology and lifestyle considerations to create a programme that is tailored to you.
Rather than simply giving you exercises to complete, the coaching begins with an assessment of how your body moves and where additional support may be useful. Your training is then adapted around your needs, history and goals.
Eight connected pillars
A complete view of what supports progress.
Each pillar informs the coaching process. The emphasis changes according to your goals, experience, symptoms and needs.
Biomechanics and Exercise Technique
Your exercise selection and technique are adapted to your individual structure, movement patterns and goals. This may include adjusting your stance, range of motion, setup, tempo or exercise variation to help you move more effectively.
Corrective Exercise and Movement Development
Corrective exercises may be integrated into your programme to improve mobility, stability, muscular control, balance and movement confidence.
This is exercise and movement coaching rather than medical rehabilitation, diagnosis or physiotherapy.
Personalised Strength Training
Your strength programme is structured around your goals, current ability, movement quality and training history. Exercises are progressed appropriately over time to help improve strength, muscle development and overall physical capability.
Nutrition Habits
Rather than relying on extreme diets, the approach considers realistic nutrition habits that support your energy, training performance, recovery, body composition goals and long-term consistency.
Lifestyle and Recovery
Sleep, stress, workload and recovery can all influence training performance and progress. These factors are considered when adjusting training volume, intensity and expectations.
Blood Marker Review
Where recent blood work is available, relevant markers may be reviewed to help inform training, recovery and lifestyle discussions. This may highlight patterns worth considering in relation to energy, appetite, performance and body composition progress.
This review is for educational and coaching purposes only. It does not diagnose, treat or replace medical advice. Any abnormal or concerning results should be discussed with a qualified doctor or healthcare provider.
Female Physiology and Menstrual Cycle Considerations
Training may be adapted around menstrual cycle symptoms, energy levels, recovery, PCOS, perimenopause and other relevant female health considerations.
Adjustments are based on your symptoms, experience and needs, not a fixed cycle-based plan.
