What’s the difference between training men and women?
Honestly, the principles don’t change: progressive strength training, quality movement, enough recovery, and a plan you can stick to.
But a great coach will often adjust a few levers:
Context first
Men and women tend to walk in with different histories - confidence under a bar, injury baggage, stress, sleep, and what “fit” even means to them. We coach the person, not the stereotype.
Hormones + life stages
For many women, the menstrual cycle, perimenopause/menopause, pregnancy or postpartum can affect energy, recovery, and joint tolerance week to week. For many men, training capacity can be steadier - but stress and lifestyle still drive the bus.
Load, volume, and recovery (individualised)
Some women thrive on a touch more volume and frequency, some don’t. Some men recover fast, some don’t. We use data from your sessions - not assumptions - to set the right dose.
The goal shapes the plan
Strength, physique, performance, pain-free movement, longevity - the programme looks different depending on what you’re actually chasing.
At ONE:, we start with assessment, then build a plan around your body, your schedule, and the outcome you care about - so training feels precise, not generic.
