Matt Barlow
Head Coach, Stamford Park
Matt is Head Coach at Stamford Park in Hale, where Strong in the Park trains four days a week.
He coaches the sessions there, scales the work to the person in front of him and signs members off as they progress.
About
Built around the group
No mirrors, no membership hard sell. Just coached training outdoors with people who turn up for each other.
What we are
Enhance your life through strength training
Strong in the Park runs coached outdoor strength sessions for adults aged 18 and over. Sessions last 45 minutes and run in small groups of four, so nobody trains unnoticed.
Training should be functional and repeatable. We use simple kit, load it properly and coach the person rather than the programme.
Progress is measured over months, not sessions. Levels and inductions exist so nobody is rushed into work they are not ready for.
The park keeps it grounded. It is open, free of pretence and it belongs to everyone who trains there.
