Three steps.
No guesswork.

You never have to work out what to do next. Your coach does that with you, every week.

  1. Step 1

    Free consult

    Twenty minutes, in the studio or on a call. We talk about your goals, your week and anything that has stopped you before.

  2. Step 2

    Your plan

    Sessions that fit the hours you really have, with simple nutrition you can keep.

  3. Step 3

    Weekly check-ins

    Your coach adjusts the plan every week, so a busy one bends it instead of breaking it.

When could you train?

Pick the days and the time that suit you. We plan around them, not the other way round.

Why people stay.

A plan that keeps working when your week does not.

  1. Your week

    Built around your week

    Early, lunchtime or evening sessions. When work gets busy, your plan adapts instead of falling apart.

  2. Your body

    Strength that lasts

    Progressive training and realistic nutrition. No crash diets, no programmes you'll quit by Friday.

  3. Your coach

    Coached, not counted

    A weekly check-in with a coach who knows your goals, your schedule and your name.

  4. Your progress

    Progress you can see

    Monthly measurements and strength benchmarks, so you always know it's working.

Three ways to work together.

Every plan includes simple nutrition guidance and a weekly check-in.

Fair questions.

The things people ask before they book. Anything else, ask Dara in the consult.

Is it worth the price?

The free consult is where you find out. You leave with a clear plan and an honest price, and no pressure to sign anything.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Plans run month to month, and you can stop with two weeks' notice.

I have not trained in years. Is that a problem?

Most people start that way. Your first weeks are about learning the movements and finding a pace you can keep.

What if work takes over for a week?

Tell your coach in the app. We move sessions, shorten them or switch you to a home plan for that week. The plan bends instead of breaking.

What happens in the free consult?

Twenty minutes, in the studio or on a call. We talk about your goals, your schedule and anything that has stopped you before. Then we suggest a plan and a price.

Your next chapter starts with one conversation.

Tell us a little about you and your week. Dara replies within one working day.

Thank you. You're on Dara's list.

In a real studio, Dara would reply within one working day to set up your consult. ORTUS is a portfolio concept, so nothing was sent and nothing was stored.
