"Hey Mate, Are You Well?"
"Yeah, fine. Just tired. Bit stiff. Weight won't shift. Gym isn't working. My back hurts. But yeah...fine."
Sound a bit too familiar?
When did we accept this as fine?
Be honest - do you feel any different or just...the same?
You show up. You sweat. You tick the box.
Thinking:
“At least I did something."
But despite your efforts,
Your back still aches getting out of bed.
A flight of stairs still leaves you breathless.
And that stone you’ve been trying to lose for 6 months is still there
You're not getting fitter.
You're just getting better at being exhausted.
Here's the thing
You wouldn't cook dinner by throwing random bits in a pan and hoping for the best.
So why are you training that way?
Walking into the gym without a plan isn't training.
It's 'this will do for now.'
But 'for now' was 3 years ago.
And you're still in exactly the same place.
No wonder you feel like you're going backwards.
I see it all the time:
Someone comes to me.
They've been going to the gym a few times a week for 6 months.
They're frustrated because nothing's changed.
Then we measure what's actually happening – and suddenly it all makes sense.
Their cardio fitness is terrible (so they're too tired to push hard enough to see results).
Their body is so stiff from sitting at a desk 8 hours a day (so every squat they do is wrecking their back instead of building strength).
Their body composition is way worse than they thought (so even though they "exercise," they're damaging joints not building muscle).
This could be you but you can't fix what you don't measure.
And most people are training without knowing what they're actually working at.
You're training blind.
No baseline. No measurements.
No clue if you're getting better or slowly breaking yourself.
That exhaustion you blame on age?
That dodgy back you've "just accepted"?
I've got clients in their 60s out-lifting 30-year-olds.
Age is not your problem.
There's something holding you back that you can't see:
Movement patterns destroying your joints
Energy leaks killing your recovery
Training completely wrong for your body type
The tragedy?
You show up. You work hard. You want this.
But you're shooting in the dark.
You can't fix what you can't see.
TESTIMONIALS
What my client's say:
My life changed forever
"I went from hospital with sepsis and bone infection, I couldn't walk properly. Compared to now I'm running 18K and lifting more than I ever have in my life." - Rob Booth

The 5 Key Health Indicators (KHI's) we measure:
and why they matter:
1. Blood Pressure
Your Heart's Workload (the silent killer)
What it is: Find out how hard your heart’s working behind the scenes.
Why it matters: Check if your blood pressure’s putting hidden strain on your body, catch early issues or gain peace of mind that all is well.
What it means for you: Peace of mind if it's fine or heads-up if it's not. If you need to pay attention to something you can't feel yet.
2. VO2 Max
Your Cardiovascular (CV) Fitness
What it is: How efficiently your blood uses oxygen.
Why it matters: Is poor fitness the reason you’re always tired & struggling to make progress? Or is something else draining your body?
What it means for you: An answer to whether your CV fitness is making you too to train effectively, or if something else is going on.
3. Body Composition
If You're More Muscle or More Fat
What it is: See what your body is really made of.
Why it matters: Two people can weigh the same but be in completely different health. More fat = higher disease risk. Less muscle = faster aging & weaker bones.
What it means for you: The real picture - Not just what the scales say.
4. Grip Strength
Your Overall Strength Indicator
What it is: See how your strong you really are
Why it matters: Are you getting stronger or slowly declining?
What it means for you: Get a clear picture of how your body is ageing and whether your training is working.
5. Movement Quality
Why Your Back Keeps Going
What it is: A clear understanding of why your body isn't responding to training the way it should.
Why it matters: This test reveals what’s stiff, out of balance and why working out keep causing the same aches and pains.
What it means for you: Exactly which movements are failing. Why every workout wrecks your back, and what your office posture is doing to your body.

I Only Run 8 Health MOTs Per Month. Here's Why.
I deliver 42 PT sessions every week.
Each MOT takes preparation, analysis, and follow-up to do it right.
This isn't a 10-minute body scan.
It's not a sales pitch disguised as an "assessment"
It's 60 minutes to expose your weaknesses that will change how you train forever.
Rob came in with hip pain.
> We found movement dysfunction that would've destroyed his hip (again). Fixed it. Now he deadlifts my bodyweight.
Anna couldn't lose weight despite training 5x/week.
> We found the energy leaks killing her results. Got her training properly and got her the strong athletic look she craved.
James thought he was "just weak."
> His program was completely wrong for his body. We rebuilt him from the ground up. Now, he’s added 20kg to every single lift.
These discoveries take some detective work.
So yes, I limit this to 8 people per month.
I'd rather help 8 people a month properly than rush through 20 and do a half assed mediocre job.
Because my time is limited I pre book these sessions in advance, and they are always sold out.
So, here's exactly what you get in those 60 minutes:
✓ Blood Pressure Analysis (£45)
Discover if stress is secretly sabotaging every workout—and your recovery
✓ VO2 Max Fitness Testing (£120)
Find out why you're knackered after 10 minutes while others cruise for hours
✓ SFMA Movement Screening (£85)
Expose the hidden dysfunction causing the "niggling" pains that never go away
✓ Grip Strength Assessment (£35) The #1 predictor of longevity, are you aging faster than you think?
✓ Body Composition Scan (£65)
No guess work. See exactly how you stack up, and what needs to change
✓ Your Personal Weakness Report (£75) Proof of what's holding you wellbeing back (and how to feel better)
✓ Custom 30-Day Action Plan (£95) Not generic advice. YOUR specific fix for YOUR specific problems
✓ 30-Day Accountability Check (£40) Because knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things
Total Value: £560
Your Investment: £79
Plus These Resources (So You Actually Follow Through):
✓ 'What Your Numbers Mean' Guide (£35) No medical jargon, plain English explanations of what matters
✓ Done-For-You Meal Templates (£50)
5 weeks of simple meals that actually work (no weighing food nonsense)
✓ Back Pain Prevention Protocol (£45)
The exact routine I give my PT clients anytime something flares up. I use it myself and have done for a long time.
Total Value: £690
You Pay: £79
And before you ask...yes, I know this is too cheap.
But here's the thing:
I'd rather you discover what's actually wrong for £79 than waste
another year guessing.
The price will go up. But not today.
So how does it work Sam?
Who Am I?
Why listen to me?
I'm Sam Canham
Sport Therapist, Nutritionist, and GP Referral qualified PT with 10+ years experience.
Started in professional football.
Moved to commercial gyms.
Noticed something:
Everyone's working hard. Nobody's getting anywhere.
Why? They're training blind.
Over the last decade, I've assessed hundreds of stuck people:
The Gym Regular
→ 3x/week for years, still looks the same
Body locked up from desk work, couldn't activate the right muscles
The All-or-Nothing Type
→ Constantly starting over
No baseline = no idea what actually worked
The Exhausted Exerciser
→ Too knackered to push hard enough
Cardio fitness so low they couldn't create change
To me the fix is pretty simple:
TEST where they actually are TRAIN what needs work
RETEST to prove it's working
That's it.
No magic. Just knowing what to fix.
Most PTs skip the testing part. That's why most people stay stuck.
This MOT isn't another fitness assessment.
It's detective work that shows exactly what's holding you back.
Because here's what kills me
You're doing the work. You deserve the results.
You just need to know what's actually wrong.
FAQ
Here are the questions I get asked a lot:
I already go to the gym. Do I really need this?
That's exactly why you need it. If you're putting in the work but not seeing results, there's a reason. This assessment tells you what's actually going on – so you stop wasting time and start making progress. You wouldn't just "cook dinner" with no plan – why are you training with no direction?
How long does it take?
Roughly 45 minutes for the full assessment. Then you'll get your personalised report within 4 hours.
You'll leave knowing exactly what you're working at and what to focus on.
What if my GP says I'm fine?
GP check-ups are basic: blood pressure, weight, maybe cholesterol. This goes deeper – measuring cardiovascular fitness, movement quality, strength, and body composition. Things your GP doesn't typically test for.
Will you pressure me to sign up for personal training?
No. The Health MOT is valuable on its own. You get the full assessment, report, action plan, and bonus resources regardless of what you decide after. If you do want PT and I have space, your £49 gets credited to your first month. But there's no pressure.
What happens after the assessment?
You'll receive your health analysis report within 4 hours, access to all bonus resources immediately, and I'll call you after 30 days to check in. After that, it's up to you whether you want to continue training with me or use the action plan on your own.
Is this available to non-Trilogy members?
Right now, this is exclusive to Trilogy Active members (Duston, Mounts Baths, Lings Forum, Danes Camp, Cripps). If you're a member at any location, you can book at the Duston gym.
What if I have an injury or dodgy back/shoulder/knee?
That's actually one of the main reasons people book this. I'm GP Referral qualified with a Sport Therapy background, which means I work with injuries every day. The assessment helps identify what's safe and effective for YOU specifically – and why you keep getting the same injuries.
I don't have time for this. I'm already busy.
It's 45 minutes. If you have time to go to the gym, you have time for this. And if you're training without knowing what you're working at, isn't this a goo investment of your time?
You can keep guessing or you can know.
You're putting in the work. You're showing up. You're doing what you're "supposed to do".
You Have Two Choices.
Keep doing what you're doing. See you here same time next year.
Or spend £79 to find out what's actually wrong.
Here's exactly what happens next:

Look, you've been "trying" for how long now?
Another year of guessing? Or 60 minutes to
know exactly what's wrong?
Your call.
"I knew if I went alone I'd have broken myself again. After one session with Sam, I finally knew why it happened and together we fixed it"
