Online personal training, worldwide · The Personalised Training Programme

Get stronger with training built around you.

I write your program around your goals, your training history, the time you actually have and the equipment you can reach — then build each new phase from how your training really went. For women and men who want strength and body composition to move, without forcing themselves into a plan written for someone else.

Why a program of your own

A good program can still be the wrong program for you.

Most plans are written for an imaginary person with unlimited time, a full gym and no history. Yours has to work in the week you actually have, with the equipment you can reach, around everything your body has already been through.

  • Build strength and change your body composition Exercises, loads and volume chosen for your level and your goal, then progressed deliberately instead of randomly.
  • Actually train consistently The plan is built for the days you can protect and the equipment you really have, so an ordinary busy week doesn’t break it.
  • Progress instead of starting over Each new phase is written from what happened in the last one: what you lifted, what felt good, what got in the way.
  • Train with more confidence You know why each exercise is there, what it should feel like and what to do next, which is usually what makes training stick.
  1. Stabilizing
  2. Controlled
  3. Strong

Each phase has a job. Exercises, loads and volume change between phases as you progress, and a phase runs three, four or six weeks depending on what it is for — it isn’t tied to your billing month. The structure stays simple on purpose: the program you follow consistently beats the perfect one you abandon.

It’s a good fit if…

  • You want to get stronger and improve your body composition with a plan written for you.
  • Your schedule, equipment or training history doesn’t fit an off-the-shelf program.
  • You’ve started before and stopped, and you want structure you can keep.
  • You’re new to strength training, coming back after a break, or training without progressing.
  • You’re happy to train on your own, log your sessions and follow the plan.

It’s not the right plan if…

  • You need medical treatment, a diagnosis or rehabilitation. That is a clinician’s job, not mine.
  • You want meal plan suggestions. The Personalised Training Programme comes with my macro calculator; meal plan suggestions are part of Premium Coaching.
  • You want daily accountability or day-to-day contact with me. That’s what Premium Coaching is for.
  • You want guaranteed results in a set number of weeks. Nobody honest can promise that.

If Premium Coaching sounds like you, mention it on the fit call.

About

I’m Simone Puddu.

I’m an Italian personal trainer. I coach people in person in Malta and online worldwide, with clients on almost every continent. I’m travelling at the moment, so new clients start with me online.

I’ve worked with people who had never lifted a weight, people coming back after years away, and people whose training has to fit around a demanding job, a family or a body that needs a more careful approach. That range taught me to coach the person in front of me, not the textbook.

I also hold the ELAV Clinical Exercise Specialist qualification. It informs how I approach exercise selection, progression and load management when someone’s history or circumstances call for more care — including knowing when something is outside what training should be asked to fix. My coaching is not medical treatment and does not replace care from your doctor or another qualified clinician.

I don’t believe in one rule for everyone. The exercises, the volume and the progression should fit your body, your goal and the phase you’re in. That’s where coaching actually happens: in the adjustments.

  • Registered with EREPS, the European Register of Exercise Professionals
  • Coaching in English and Italian

Questions

Is this for women or for men?

Both. The Personalised Training Programme is written for the individual, so it suits women and men at any level. (JOA, my shared strength program, is the women-only one.)

Is this coaching, or only a program?

It is personalized programming with professional review built in: I design your training, you follow and log it, and before each new phase we go through what happened and I write the next one. It is not day-to-day coaching or constant accountability — that is Premium Coaching.

Is this suitable if I’m new to strength training?

Yes. Your program starts from where you are today: new to weights, coming back after a long break, or training for years without progressing. Exercises, loads and volume are set for your level and adjusted as you improve.

Do I need a gym?

No. A full gym is great, but a small space at home works too. The minimum is a set of resistance bands with a way to anchor them high and low, and a few basic dumbbells. You tell me what you have, I tell you what, if anything, is worth buying, and I build your program around it.

How much time do I need?

As much as you can realistically give, consistently. We agree the number of training days and the session length on the call, and I write the program to fit them.

What if I have an injury or a complicated training history?

Tell me on the call. My ELAV Clinical Exercise Specialist qualification is what I draw on when a history needs more care: which exercises to choose, what to load slowly, what to leave alone for now, and when something is outside what training should be asked to fix. If you are under treatment or unsure whether exercise is safe for you, speak to your doctor or clinician first.

Is this rehabilitation?

No. I do not diagnose, treat or rehabilitate, and the Personalised Training Programme never replaces care from your doctor, physiotherapist or another clinician. It is personal training, designed to work sensibly around the history you bring.

Do you give meal plans?

Not in the Personalised Training Programme. There you get my online macro calculator to set your own nutrition targets. Meal plan suggestions are part of Premium Coaching; ask me about it on the call.

Can I message you?

You can message me in the app and I reply when I can, but the Personalised Training Programme isn’t a live chat or on-demand support service and there’s no guaranteed reply time. The 20-minute reviews are where we look at your progress and plan the next phase. If you want more contact, that’s Premium Coaching.

How long is each phase?

Three, four or six weeks, depending on what the phase is for. It is not tied to your billing month: your plan bills monthly, every six months or yearly, while phases run on training logic. Before each new phase we do a 20-minute review.

When will I see results?

That depends on your starting point, consistency, sleep, nutrition and everything else going on in your life, so I don’t promise specific results or timelines. What I do promise is a program written for you and adjusted as you progress.

Should I check with my doctor first?

If you have a health condition, are pregnant, or aren’t sure whether exercise is right for you, yes: check with your doctor before starting, and mention it on the call. The Personalised Training Programme is fitness programming, not medical advice or treatment.

What happens on the fit call?

About 45 minutes on video. You pick a time, I confirm it, and the details come by email. We go through your goal, your training history, your week and your equipment. If I think I can help, I’ll explain how the program would work for you, recommend a plan and send a secure checkout link afterwards. If I don’t think it’s the right fit, I’ll tell you. There is no payment and no obligation on the call.

How do cancellations and refunds work?

Every plan renews at the same interval until you cancel. You can stop future renewals yourself from your account in a web browser on a computer (the phone app doesn’t have this option), and you keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for. On your first purchase you can get a full refund within 14 days, no reason needed. The details are in the Terms.

Does it work where I live?

Yes. Everything happens online, through my coaching app and video calls, so it works wherever you are. I’ve coached clients on almost every continent, and the booking page shows call times in your own time zone.

Not sure it’s the right fit? That’s what the call is for.

Forty-five minutes on video. Tell me where you are and where you want to be. If I can help, I’ll show you how. If not, I’ll say so.
