Hey 👋 I'm Chris
An Online Coach & PT from Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.Let’s be honest: I’m probably not your typical PT...
If you’re chasing a gold medal or want to step onto a bodybuilding stage, I’m likely not your guy.
But, if you’re an everyday person who just wants to feel notably fitter, stronger, and better than you did yesterday—without the gym-head ego—then we’re going to get along just fine.I founded Circular Roots because I was tired of seeing people ‘just exercising’—sweating for an hour but moving no closer to their goals.
I don't want to just hand you a PDF and walk away; I want to upgrade your ‘system’ by teaching you the smart, simple principles of movement and strength.Whether you're starting with my 14-Day Fundamentals or looking for a bespoke 1-to-1 roadmap, my mission is the same: to strip away the noise and build a foundation that lasts. No confusing jargon, no guesswork—just a clearer path to becoming a more capable version of yourself.
Let's Get to Work!

Inside the Two-Week
System Overhaul
We run this program in structured, group intakes via a waiting list to build massive collective momentum and keep you accountable from Day 1 to Day 14.
PHASE 01 // DAYS 1–5
(The Build & Learn)
You'll start building a daily mobility habit by adding just one intentional bodyweight pattern per day, cleanly stacking from Move 1 up to Move 5. On Day 3, you unlock your first technical milestone with video-guided mechanics for The Squat. Simple, bite-sized nutrition snippets alternate every other day to build awareness without information overload.
PHASE 02 // DAYS 6–10
(Completing the Sequence)
We finish building out your daily 10-movement mobility sequence. Along the way, you will unlock deep-dive video mechanics and easy bodyweight drills for The Hinge (Day 6) and The Press (Day 9). Our daily nutrition snippets switch focus to cutting through the industry noise to simplify protein, carbs, and fats.
PHASE 03 // DAYS 11–14
(The Flow & Graduation)
The focus shifts entirely to building capacity and flow. You'll run your full 10-movement sequence for timed intervals. On Day 12, you learn Core & Bracing to create the structural tension needed for future lifting. On Day 14, the group "graduates" together, and doors open to the loaded progressions inside the 6-Week Foundations program.
The best workout plan is the one you can actually execute.
— Equipment & Space —
"What Will I Need"
100% Bodyweight Only:
Zero external weights or specialized gym kit needed.
Minimal Space Required:
Just your own body and a few square meters of clear floor space.
Accessible Anywhere:
Completely portable training that fits into chaotic schedules and family environments.
The Step Ramp Space:
A pavement, a local park, or a treadmill to get your progressive steps logged.
MEET COACH CHRIS
Let’s be honest: I’m probably not your typical personal trainer.I’m not here to yell at you through a screen, fill your feed with fitness-head ego, or push you until you can’t walk down the stairs. If you’re an everyday person or a busy parent who just wants to feel capable, mobile, and energized again—without the gym-head ego—then we’re going to get along just fine.I founded Circular Roots Coaching because I was sick of watching well-meaning people start overly complicated training plans, only to quit two weeks later because they felt broken or overwhelmed. My goal for these 14 days is dead simple: to help you move completely without pain, establish an effortless daily routine, and give you a baseline you actually look forward to executing.I’ll see you inside Day 1.

6 Week Foundations
£99 / one off purchase
A 6 week blueprint to Simple & Sustainable Full Body, Strength
— In Development —
Loaded Movement Mechanics:
It’s time to safely bridge the gap between bodyweight movement and external resistance. You'll master high-yield, minimalist barbell and kettlebell complexes designed to build raw structural integrity without smashing your joints.

No complex spreadsheet math or percentage chasing here. We utilize a straightforward, block-by-block progression that builds genuine physical capacity, fixes lingering posture imbalances, and leaves you feeling energized instead of broken down.

We don't just stack heavy weights on top of a stiff frame. Your strength blocks are paired with targeted, active recovery/mobility sequences and various conditioning WODs to ensure you retain your fitness, move pain-free, and recover well, all helping you to be Fitter. Stronger. Better.
Actually
Enjoy the Process
Of Getting Strong 💪
Let’s be honest:
The fitness world is kind of a mess.
Most plans are either overly complicated
or completely reckless.
Foundations is different
This isn't a shout-at-you bootcamp.
It’s a clear, simple & actionable plan for everyday people ready to move from "just exercising" to actually training with purpose.
The Roadmap
WEEKS 1–2:
Finding Your Groove
No ego here. We start with higher reps and a deep focus on perfecting your form. This is about building the joint stability and clean movement patterns that protect your body before we ever think about adding weight.
WEEKS 3–4:
Adding Some Weight
This is where we start putting more plates on the bar and challenging your system. Now that your mechanics are rock-solid, we'll begin safely progressive overloading to see what your body is truly capable of.
WEEKS 5–6:
Owning The Movement
The Final Push. We lock in your raw strength and test your new physical capacity. You’ll finish these six weeks feeling completely solid, moving better, and living with a total sense of physical confidence.
We Don't Do
Random.
Most programs are so intense or unstructured that you end up more sore than strong.
We use a tiered, repeatable session sequence that covers all your bases:
— The Barbell, The Kettlebell, and Bodyweight —
Ensuring you build real-world strength that actually lasts.
Every single workout is designed with a clear purpose:
SEGMENT 01 // THE BARBELL:
Built To Last
This is the heart of the "Foundations".
We focus heavily on mastering the Big Three:
Squat | Press | Deadlift
We dial in the safety with technique and volume first, then add load the to unlock true
systemic power.
SEGMENT 02 // THE KETTLEBELL:
Full Body Engine Building
Standard gym machines isolate;
kettlebells integrate.
We pair Core Lifts with Complexes & Conditioning to iron out the stability gaps that often lead to nagging injuries, while building a solid aerobic engine.
SEGMENT 03 // THE BODYWEIGHT BASELINE:
Real-World Resilience
Controlled Work and Core Conditioning.
We wrap up every single session by reinforcing your baseline movement habits, so you leave the gym feeling accomplished, solid, and capable — not just beaten up.
— Equipment & Time —
To get the absolute most out of Foundations, you'll need access to a standard gym or a solid home setup, plus the availability to follow the training schedule.
We focus strictly on minimalist high-leverage tools that build genuine baselines & solid foundations:
Olympic Barbell & Plates:
Essential for mastering the Big Three mechanical lifts.
Squat Rack / Stand & Flat Bench:
Required for safe loading parameters.
Kettlebells:
Used for ballistic training and fixing left-to-right stability gaps.
Time Commitment:
3x Days per Week
Gym based Resistance Training Sessions.(Optional additional WODs/Cardio/Active Recovery days)
— Is This For You? —
• You've finished the 14-Day Fundamentals and are wondering "now what"?
• You're ready to train with real intent, consistency, and purpose—not just sweat randomly.
• You need a structured plan that tells you exactly what to do when you
walk into the gym.
• You used to be highly active but life, kids, and chaotic shift work got
in the way.
