Training philosophy
Strong, mobile, capable, and safe.
Blane's coaching is built for the client in front of him. First-time exercisers may need confidence, simple nutrition changes, and safe movement patterns. Athletes may need higher output, sport-specific conditioning, and better durability. Clients with old injuries may need careful exercise selection, mobility, and a pace that keeps progress moving without forcing painful positions.
His background as an on-call firefighter and boxing coach shapes a practical style: train hard, move well, stay useful, and keep the plan clear. Whether the goal is weight loss, muscle gain, shoulder-friendly strength, or fall prevention, the work is organized around repeatable habits and measurable progress.
Focus areas
Injury prevention and rehabilitation support, balance and fall prevention, mobility, postural correction, functional and sport-specific training, shoulder pain considerations, weight loss, muscle gain, and strength and conditioning.
