Strength and Conditioning Coaching

Strength and conditioning training can significantly improve your performance as an athlete, as well as help less athletic people reach certain goals. A coach can help individuals work towards specific goals through a variety of training methods, both physical and mental.

What is strength and conditioning training?

Strength and conditioning involves training towards a certain goal through either gym-based or field-based training.

It is one of the 3 major areas of training that can significantly improve performance, with the other two being technique coaching and sport-specific fitness.

Many assume that strength and conditioning is solely for athletic purposes. However, strength and conditioning is suitable for anyone, whether that is to be able to sit at your desk comfortably focusing on the neck and upper back strength or for recreational runners aiming to take part in their first event. We all have different goals relative to our abilities and limitations, and our job is not to judge you, but to help you reach yours.

What does a strength and conditioning coach do?

A strength and conditioning coach listens to the goals of the client and develops a training plan accordingly. The goals given can be quite broad, such as a sprinter saying they would like to get faster in the 100m or very specific such as the same sprinter saying they would like to take 0.1 seconds off their first 10 meters coming out of the blocks.

Both requests could be achieved through strength and conditioning coaching, but may require different training methods in order to do so.

Your strength and conditioning coach will then help you to use techniques correctly to work towards your goals. This could be through the proper use of gym equipment or implementing healthy running patterns and behaviours. They might also provide health and nutritional advice which is suited towards your goals.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great consultation with Tommy, he took time to work through my questions and feedback regarding my problem. We trialled some exercises and body movements to understand better why I may be experiencing the issues I am. He advised he would follow up with exercise references for me and a wrap up of our consultation with a referral proposal, all of which came through the same evening!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took the pursuit of running up in October 2021 and I was always reluctant to invest in seeing a physio as I felt that I was 'sensible' enough to look after my physical work load and that I could rely on fellow runners to help keep me grounded. After suffering with multiple 'niggles' that I just ran through and because I was embarking on an Ultra Marathon training plan, I bit the bullet and decided to consult a physio. I didn't want to go to 'any physio', I wanted to make sure that I saw the best that was available to me and after asking a PT I know in the Manchester area, I was recommended to get and see Jonathan Collier at Injury Mechanics.

I booked my first appointment with Jonathan at the end of May and like me he is a long distance runner so is ideal for the sort of advice that I need. Since May I have been back to see Jonathan on a monthly basis, even after completing the Ultra in September. It isn't just about getting checked up and being helped through potential injuries, it's also become a great opportunity to share stories and tips with somebody else who shares the same passion as me.

In the time I have been under Jonathan I've received nothing but top service and support. I've moved an appointment last minute because of childcare issues which was no issue and during some very tricky periods of my training plans I have been messaging him out of hours to get advice and not once has he made me feel like I'm an inconvenience to him. If you're looking for a physio then Jonathan Collier of Injury Mechanics is the only physio you need to consult.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Jonathon for 3 years now after being recommended by a friend with my back pain, I play rounders, run and exercise and as I’m getting older need physio more often. Jonathon makes me feel at ease and it’s like going for a chat for an hour whilst  he works on what I need on that particular visit as it’s different every time!! But he understands and is patient with me great team!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Injury Mechanics. My whole family have been going for years. I recently had a back problem. I phoned Johnathan who sent me exercise to do the same day. He saw me the day after I called and knew what the problem was straight away. Feeling so much better already. Fantastic 😊 thank you, Diane Worrall

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maria and the team literally keep me able to exercise. I have had a number of injuries and Maria not only “mends me” but she also gives me the techniques to ensure they don’t happen again. Incredibly effective and knowledgeable, I can’t recommend her highly enough!
