Programming That Delivers.
Strength That Transfers
Structured strength cycles built around the snatch, clean & jerk, and squat variations. Progressive overload with planned deloads. Not random heavy days — a system.
Skill Progression
Systematic gymnastics development. Muscle-ups, handstand walks, ring work — broken into progressions that actually build capacity, not just test it.
Competition Ready
Periodised programming that peaks when it matters. Open prep, Quarterfinals strategy, and the engine work to sustain effort when everyone else fades.
Energy System Development
Targeted conditioning across all time domains. Short sprints, mid-range grinders, long chippers. Every session has intent. Every interval has purpose.
Individualised Accessory
Weakness identification and targeted accessory programming. Your goats get addressed, not ignored. We programme around your specific limiters.
Coach Eyes on You
Video review, weekly check-ins, programme adjustments based on your feedback. Remote programming doesn't mean alone. Your coaches are invested.
Built Different. On Purpose.
We started ANVIL because we were tired of cookie-cutter programming that treated every athlete the same. A 25-year-old former gymnast and a 38-year-old ex-rugby player don't need the same programme.
Every training block is periodised. Every session has intent. We programme in mesocycles, we plan deload weeks, and we test constantly. This isn't random — it's a system built on years of coaching competitive athletes.
Our PhilosophyWe've Been Where You Want to Go.
Semifinal competitors. National-level weightlifters. Coaches who still train, still compete, and still understand what it takes to get uncomfortable every single day.

The Work Speaks.
Followed ANVIL for 18 months. Went from barely making the Open top 10% to qualifying for Quarterfinals twice. The strength programming alone took my clean from 105 to 125. The system works if you do.
I'd been stuck for two years. Same engine, same lifts, same results. ANVIL identified my weaknesses, built a plan, and held me accountable. First muscle-up at 34. Strict handstand push-ups by 35. Don't tell me you can't.
The periodisation is what sets this apart. Every block builds on the last. My conditioning has never been better, and my lifts are still climbing. Rob and the team genuinely give a shit about your progress.
