Personal training · Malta & online
Start training.
Keep going.
Coaching for busy people who've never trained properly, or keep starting and stopping. A plan written around your week, and me checking in every Sunday so this time it sticks.
About 3 minutes. No payment needed to see your plan.
Sound familiar?
Why most people stop, and how we fix it
"I walk into the gym and don't know what to do."
Every session is written for you: the exercise, the sets, the reps and how hard it should feel. You just follow it and log it.
"I start strong, then life happens and I stop."
A plan you can actually fit in, three sessions a week, and a weekly check-in with me so someone notices when you drift and helps you get back on track.
"I'm worried I'll get hurt or look silly."
We start on machines and dumbbells, with clear technique cues, a health screening before you begin and form checks by video. You build up at your own pace.

Your coach
Hi, I'm Karl
I'm a qualified personal trainer based in Malta. I coach people who are starting from zero: people who sit at a desk all day or work long shifts, have never followed a proper plan, and want to get stronger and fitter without it taking over their life.
I keep things simple: clear numbers, steady progress, and checking in so you don't drift. I train and race HYROX myself, so I know what it takes to fit hard training around a full-time job.

Questions
Before you start
I've never been to a gym. Is this for me?
Yes, that's exactly who it's for. You start on machines and dumbbells with clear instructions for every exercise, and you can send me videos so I can check your form.
How much time do I need?
Two to four sessions a week of about 50-60 minutes. Three is the sweet spot for most people. If you only have two days, the plan works with two.
How do the weekly check-ins work?
Every Sunday you fill in a 2-minute form: sessions done, how hard they felt, sleep, energy, any pain, your wins and struggles, and optional videos. I reply within 48 hours with feedback and any changes for the next week.
Do I need to follow a strict diet?
No. You get simple targets: protein at every meal, a step goal, sleep and water. If your goal is fat loss, I give you a sensible range to aim for, not a crash diet. For medical or specific nutrition needs, see a registered dietitian.
Can I train at home?
The programmes are written for a gym. With online coaching I can adapt your plan to what you have at home.
I have an injury or a medical condition.
Please speak to your doctor or physio before starting and tell me about it in your plan answers. With coaching I adapt your plan around it once you're cleared. A ready-made programme isn't the right fit for an injury.
How do I cancel coaching?
Cancel any time before your next monthly payment from your purchase receipt, or message me. You keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.
Is the free plan preview the full programme?
No. The preview gives you your starting point, your training week, your first full session and your step and food targets. The full 12 weeks comes with coaching or the programme.
What happens to the information I enter?
It's used only to build your plan and coach you, and never sold. You can ask me to delete it at any time. Details are in the privacy notice below.

Stop exercising and seek medical help if you feel chest pain, severe breathlessness, dizziness, or sharp or unusual pain. You train at your own risk: use equipment safely, follow your gym's rules, and choose weights you can control with good technique.
