Start with the week you can repeat

The best-looking program is not necessarily the best fit. Start by writing down the gym or home sessions you can complete in a normal week—not the unusually quiet week you hope is coming. A five-day split and a three-day full-body plan make different demands on your calendar.

If you can train four days, Upper Lower Evolution or Legion may belong on your shortlist. If home training is your priority, compare Home Base and Level Up. These are starting points for a conversation, not automatic prescriptions.

Match the training to the goal

Decide what you want this block to prioritise: a consistent starting routine, building muscle, strength work, or football preparation. Trying to make every goal equally important can make choosing harder.

Check the starting level, not just the final result

An advanced label is not a shortcut. Consider the training you have actually completed recently, how familiar you are with the movements, and how well you can manage the weekly schedule. If you are unsure, send Sean your background and ask which stage makes sense.

Decide how you want access

Choose a standalone program when you want one defined block. Choose Train Unlimited when you want ongoing access to the library and the ability to move between programs with coaching support. Both include coaching and check-ins; the difference is the access model, not whether you receive support.

Bring three things to your enquiry

Tell Sean your main goal, realistic training days and recent training experience. Mention your equipment or gym access too. That gives the recommendation a useful starting point.

Explore the programme options or ask Sean to help choose.
