Small Group Personal Training.
Each session at Joy is 60 minutes, capped at six members — so you get real coaching and attention, not just a workout in a crowd.
Training runs in periodised 12-week blocks for measurable, long-term results, not random workouts. Every session is full-body, built around one main compound lift plus supporting accessory work, cycling through the four fundamental patterns: squat, hinge, push, pull. Miss a session and you won't miss a muscle group.
Training in phases.
Hypertrophy (12 weeks) — build muscle, technique and confidence
Strength (12 weeks) — lift heavier, push harder
PB Week — twice a year, test your key lifts and see how far you've come
Then we repeat, stronger each time.
Every time you return to a lift, you build on your last session — heavier weight, more reps, or better control. Track it all in your training logbook.
A Smarter Rotation.
Each 12-week block programmes two sessions per pattern — Squat 1/2, Hinge 1/2, Push 1/2, Pull 1/2 — each with a different focus (Squat 1 might be back squats, Squat 2 split squats). You get enough consistency to progress, with enough variation to stay engaged. The timetable runs on continuous rotation, so you won't repeat the same session week to week, even training the same days.
Coaching & Support.
Every session is fully coached, start to finish — warm-ups, working weights, technique and safe progression. New to lifting? Our monthly Intro to Lifting workshops cover the fundamentals.
Suitable for Every Level.
All sessions are fully scalable. If squats are programmed, beginners might work with bodyweight or goblet squats while experienced members use barbell variations — everyone trains at the right level for them.
