Not The Comfort Zone / Baseline, Coaching & Performance Assessment

Training with
clear direction.

Not sure what actually needs your attention? Start with the free NTCZ Baseline, then decide what makes sense from there.

Start with
the Baseline.

The NTCZ Baseline is a free 4–5 minute first look at the pattern across your training, fitness, movement, recovery and real life.

It doesn’t give you a made-up fitness score or pretend a questionnaire has measured things it hasn’t. It is there to help answer a more useful question: what probably deserves your attention first?

01 / Quick result

Get a short AI-assisted result straight away, based on the pattern in your answers.

02 / Fuller report

Your fuller Baseline is reviewed and sent by email with more detail on what stands out and what I’d focus on first.

03 / No forced sale

The answer might be coaching, proper testing, getting something cleared first, or simply carrying on with a clearer focus.

Coaching or
assessment.

If you already know what you need, you can go straight to either. If you’re not sure, the Baseline is the easiest place to start.

Good coaching
starts with the
individual.

Twenty-plus years of coaching, built on a past I don't hide from. Why this exists →

Ideally, training should be prescribed individually, as should medication and lifestyle advice, according to each person's constitution, medical history, age, needs and goals. And I say that as someone who was an NHS GP for 25 years.

Carolyn / GP (Retired)

Absolutely loved my testing. There really couldn't be a better person to have alongside you on your goals. Very passionate, very knowledgeable, and completely focused on what actually matters for you.

James

Before I was tested, I trained daily, mainly cardio with no real structure. This has given me direction in my training and nutrition. I actually know what I'm working on now.
