Who is it for?

Whatever your level, you might benefit greatly from 1:1 coaching if you have the willingness to commit and put in the work.

Having trained people, trained myself and been trained for over 10 years, I know how invaluable a coach can be in anyone’s journey to develop whatever skill you’ve set your mind to.

The experienced eye, consequent feedback, knowledge of the process, accountability aspect… all that comes with a more experienced coach, making them invaluable in helping you attain your goals more efficiently.

What skills?

I currently coach people in the following areas:

  • Handbalancing

  • Calisthenics and bodyweight strength training

  • Mobility and flexibility

  • Movement and skill training

Check FAQs at the bottom for a breakdown of these four areas.

HOW IT WORKS

1 Initial interview

We get to know each other with the main focus on the following three:

  • Your past: training history, goals, achievements, past injuries

  • Your present: current training and injuries

  • Your future: goals and potential training schedule (commitment)

2 Assessment & tailored programme

You send me videos with some pre-assigned assessments so I design an initial programme for you.

3 Individual sessions

These take the form of a session where we go through the exercises and check how everything is going with your training. We will also be looking into the video submissions in detail if needed.

With each individual session you will be also submitting videos which I’ll reply to individually and (if needed) will be discussed on the following session.

4 Video submissions

Testimonials

  • Charlene Chew

    Working with Guillermo has completely changed my views around movement, handstands and mobility in the best way possible. I went from struggling with basic movements from a lack of body awareness and mobility to feeling more in tune with my body and achieving more than I EVER thought possible in just the span of a couple months. He breaks down complex movements in a way that is simple and highly enjoyable.

    Gui is also super supportive, kind and knowledgeable and I would recommend him highly to anyone who is looking to improve handstands and mobility!

    I had always felt really fearful of even thinking to practice handstand but Guillermo taught me l lots of ways to improve and after three weeks of training I felt much more confident and I have made a lot of progress.

    His love for teaching and his extensive knowledge makes him a really exceptional teacher. Can’t wait to keep working and learning many more things from him!!

    Guillermo is that rare combination - not just an expert practitioner in hand balancing and movement, but also an expert in the art of learning. He is super thoughtful in his approach, tailoring each session precisely to your needs, which means he can help you achieve goals you never thought possible. But more than that, he cares deeply about his students, their well being and progress. 

    Despite his huge talents, Guillermo has no ego. He is kind and generous, and his classes are brilliant fun.  I couldn't recommend Guillermo more highly.

FAQs

    • the traditional shapes (tuck, straddle, pike, diamond) statically and transitions between them.

    • Any entry into handstand, especially presses, whether straddle, tuck, pike, stalder...

    • One arm Handstand work: From preparation all the way to shapes like figa, flag...

    • Unique approach to skill development upside down based on gradual and diverse cognitive overload.

    • Special focus and interest in motion-based rather than static skill development.

    • Basic elements based on vertical/horizontal push/pull: pull-ups, chin-ups, push-ups, rows, pike push-ups, dips...

    • Skills such as: ring and bar muscle-ups, front and back lever, planche, handstand push-ups, human flags...

  • Yes. Any level is welcome!

  • Yes. I've coached people from their early 20s to people in their 60s.

  • We'd need to make sure that training will not affect your recovery so contact me for further discussion.

  • For in-person classes: Everything will be available at whichever venue the coaching will take place.

    For online classes: This will depend on what the coaching will consist of (handbalancing might require nothing but a wall, whereas calisthenics will probably demand something to hang from among other things)

  • At the moment they are usually held at a variety of gym spaces around the area of Shoreditch and the City of London.

  • For a 6-month period from the moment of purchase.

  • Usually, I can comment on one set of video submissions weekly (one video of each of the exercises of your current personalised programme). However I am happy for you to send more; even if I don't comment on all of them as they are very useful to track progress when doing an assessment throughout longer periods.

  • As frequently as you need for us to make sure that you are following the programme appropriately (or for whatever other relevant reason).

  • I usually carry out a review of the programme every 3 months but if things seem to still be producing good tangible results we might prefer to not change things too much as long as they're working.

  • Any session (whether in-person or online) cancelled with less than 24-hour notice will be charged.

  • UK Bank transfer.
