Returning to Exercise
after a long break.
A judgment-free way back. Not starting from zero. Starting again. We build a clear, safe pathway that fits the body you’ve got, not the one you used to have.
REBUILD · SLOWLY · WITH A COACH
What 1:1 at 5EW actually is.
Built around the reality that you’ve done this before. We don’t need to convince you of anything, we just need to give you a way back in that doesn’t fall apart in week three.
Pricing is membership-based and shaped around session frequency.
We walk you through it on your free consult.
How it actually works.
Four steps. No “quick transformation” language. We start with a conversation, build from data, and keep adjusting, because the first programme is never the last one.
Discovery Consult
A 60-minute conversation with a coach on the gym floor. History, goals, what’s held you back before. No commitment. No hard sell.
Movement & Composition Scan
Mobility, posture and 40+ body composition markers captured and read with you. The baseline your programme is built from.

Awarded. Qualified. Here for the long haul.
Nine coaches. Average tenure: years, not months. Every programme starts with one of them sitting down with you, no rotating trainers, no handoffs, no starting over.

Four questions the consult usually covers anyway. Here first, in case they’re the blocker.
How long is each session?
Forty-five minutes, 1:1, with the same coach each time. Long enough to warm up properly, do the work, and leave feeling capable, not exhausted.
It’s been years. Am I starting from zero?
You’re not. Your body still remembers more than you think. The four-week programme cycle starts where you are now: movement and composition first, load second.
I’m worried about getting injured again.
That’s why we start with a full movement assessment. Posture, mobility, old compensations, weak areas. Your coach reads the whole picture before any meaningful load goes on.
How does pricing work?
Membership-based, shaped around how often you train. We walk you through it on the free consult. There are no online packages to buy before you’ve met a coach.

No commitment. No hard sell. A conversation with one of our coaches, on the floor, in the space, with a coffee if you want one.
