Cityathletebirmingham Athlete-style training for busy professionals in Birmingham. Semi-private, coach-led sessions focused on strength, speed, and conditioning. This isn’t open gym.

This isn’t a class gym. Every session is structured. Every rep is coached. Train with intent.

People keep asking for the secret formula.
Here it is.

Today's actual session, the same way I train every CityAthlete client.
It's time-based, not reps. Three rounds. Each round is three exercises back to back.

45s lower body. 15s transition.
30s upper body. 15s transition.
30s TRX. 90s rest. Repeat x3.

ROUND 1
Barbell back squat
Seated DB shoulder press
TRX fly

ROUND 2
Barbell RDL
Incline DB chest press
TRX chest press

ROUND 3
Barbell sumo deadlift
Flat DB chest press
TRX triceps press

Lower, upper, bodyweight. Every round. That's the structure. Push the engine on the squat, then hit the upper body while you're already breathing hard, then finish on the TRX. Nothing random.

The real secret isn't the exercises. It's running the right program with consistency, week after week. Same methodology I used as a professional sprinter. Still works at 35, 45, 55.

Steal this session. But if you want it built around your body and your schedule, DM ATHLETE and tell me your goal.

We don't just take anybody.
That's not arrogance. That's a standard.

CityAthlete is a semi-private coaching facility.
Maximum four people per session.
Every member has a programme built,
Around where they are right now and where they're going.

he came in as a professional with a busy life
And a body he'd stopped trusting.

he just told you what happened.
He trains him like an athlete.
That mindset is now built into him.

That's what we do here. Not fitness.
Performance. For people who are serious about it.

If that's you — DM ATHLETE. Tell us where you're starting from.

15 years of competing and coaching taught me one thing.

The people who doubt you loudest are the ones watching you closest.

Here's what I know about the people who make it.
The ones who get talked about keep going. The ones who get doubted use it.

The ones who get criticised understand that nobody attacks something that doesn't matter.

If you're building something real..
in the gym, in your career, in your life
expect resistance. It means you're moving.

The only people nobody talks about are the ones who stopped.
Don't stop.

DM ATHLETE. Let's build something worth talking about.

Doctors. Managers. Directors.
People who run departments,
lead teams and make high-stakes decisions
before most people have had breakfast.

They train here on Saturday mornings.
Not because they have spare time.
Because they decided their performance matters in every area of life.

Two weeks into our Hybrid Games prep block.
Not one session missed. Not one person quit mid-circuit.

This is CityAthlete. Semi-private coaching.
1 coach to 4 athletes. Every session built with purpose.

Not an open gym. A performance coaching facility where busy, high-achieving people train with the same precision they bring to everything else they do.

June intake — 7 spots left.

DM me ATHLETE. Tell me what you're training for.

Week 2. Nobody quit.

600m. Assault Bike. DB Sn**ch. Repeat.

I wore the vest I last competed in back in 2010 and ran every metre alongside them. That's the standard here.

7 weeks to the NEC Birmingham.

Two things still open right now.
Hybrid Games prep group, spots still available. Racing in July without a structured block? This is it.

June semi-private coaching intake
1 coach to 4 athletes. 10 spots total.
3 already gone to the waiting list. 7 remaining.

DM me ATHLETE right now. Tell me your goal before those spots are gone.

Last time I wore this I was running 100m at
international level. 10.29 seconds. 2010.

Today I put it back on to train 6 athletes
for the Hybrid Games at the NEC Birmingham.
7 weeks out. First race sim done.

Same vest. Same standard.

Thinking about entering the Hybrid Games? DM ATHLETE. I'll tell you if you're ready.

Nobody walks into Week 2 feeling comfortable.

That's the point.
Sprint work on the track. Plates loaded.
Mechanics drilled before the weight goes up.

These athletes are 7 weeks out from the Hybrid Games at the NEC Birmingham and every session from here has a job to do.

This isn't general fitness.
This is race prep.
There's a difference — and you feel it in Week 2.

DM ATHLETE — tell us your race goal.

I have a Nigerian client who speaks yoruba..Big mistake...

Four people maximum per session.
This is what happens when you put the right people in a room together.
One of my clients is Nigerian. Somewhere between sets she decided to teach the other client how to tell me to get lost. In Yoruba.

He used it immediately.
This is semi-private coaching at CityAthlete.
Yes we train hard. Yes the programming is serious.
Yes people come in with injuries, goals, and life stuff they're working through.

But this is also what it looks like.
People who started as strangers six weeks ago now have inside jokes. They show up for each other.
They laugh mid-session.
They learn each other's languages apparently — at least the parts that are useful for telling the coach where to go.

That's the environment we build here.
Not a gym where you put your headphones in and disappear.
A place where four people work hard together and somewhere along the way it becomes something they actually look forward to.

Even when they're ganging up on me.
Especially then.

If you want in — DM ATHLETE.

Most boxers train hard.
Few train like this.

This is — week 6 at CityAthlete.
Strength and conditioning built specifically around how he performs, recovers, and competes.

Six weeks in. Different athlete.
No random circuits. No generic programming.

Every session is periodised. Every session has a purpose.
This is what metabolic conditioning looks like when it's built for a serious athlete — not just someone trying to get fit.
