Coaches. Four of us on the floor, each drawndoing the lift we'd teach anyone, with the cue we say most.

“Push the floor away.”

Kit opened Fettle in 2021 after eleven years coaching barbell strength in Leeds gyms, six of them while competing in powerlifting. Kit still writes every Strength block and runs the Saturday Foundations course.
