Assessment
Movement, history, goals. We map the full picture before we load a single plate.
Personalized Programming
Two-wave ILU progressions built around your anatomy, schedule, and pain history.
Accountability
Direct check-ins between sessions. You don't drift, guess, or stall.
Real Coaching
Every rep watched. Every cue earned. Ownership of your technique, not a PDF.
Coaching formats.
Private 1:1
The core offer. Kitsilano · West Side · Downtown. 60-minute sessions built around your anatomy and schedule.
Semi-Private
Two lifters, one coach, one plan each. For couples, training partners, or two friends who already lift together.
Programming Only
For lifters outside Vancouver. ILU Method programming and monthly video check-ins — no group chat, no template.
Watched. Cued. Corrected.
Whether you train one-on-one or bring a partner, every rep is coached in real time. Position, breath, brace — the fundamentals that keep you loading heavy for decades.
No headphones-on group class. No template printed off an app. Just you, the bar, and a coach who's paying attention.
First program in ten years that didn't wreck my back. I'm stronger and I actually trust my body again.
I came in never having deadlifted. Ryan teaches like a coach who's coached himself, not read a book.
