Testimonials

Real People. Real Results.

  • Charlotte Clark

    Having a structured plan to follow is essential for me because it removes any uncertainty and makes every workout purposeful and effective.

    I am currently challenging myself with the8-week Blitz plan, which is allowing me to push my limits and achieve new levels of strength and endurance. Having a structured plan to follow is essential for me because it removes any uncertainty and makes every workout purposeful and effective. The RPE calculator feature on the app is particularly helpful in this regard, as it enables me to track my progress and adjust the intensity of my workouts based on my abilities.

  • Nat Lydon

    I loved the different ways I built strength, specifically for powerlifting and still incorporated the conditioning

    Damien coached me for a few years during my powerlifting days. The programming (which is the same programming you find in the Strength Block App) was top knotch and the variety of the training was amazing.

    I loved the different ways I built strength, specifically for powerlifting and still incorporated the conditioning which I enjoy.

    Damien coached me to nationals where I smashed 3 national records. He is a legend and a great support!!

  • Tim Marsh

    I'm in he best shape of my life

    When I got back from Germany, I had to estart my entire life. Training is the pillar of ooking after my mental health and I'd let it lip. Without it, working on any other aspect f my mental health was so difficult. I was overweight and unhappy. 1 year on after using the Strength Block App and I'm in he best shape of my life. I'm strong, I'm appy, and I'm confident in myself again.

    don't feel like this explains just how crazy he difference between now and then is. It's night and day. I'm a totally different person

  • Larissa

    This is a huge help for me getting back into high performance sport

    Can I just say that within the I think last 5 days of doing this on the free trial I have noticed a MASSIVE difference in my core strength and connection along with my pelvic floor. I cannot thank you enough.

    It's hard to find something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg that is gradual and not American... thank you! This is a huge help for me getting back into high performance sport - the confidence I feel using it is amazing as well as how easy this first block is to do in my lounge. Just bloody stoked!
