Desk Worker Fitness Coaching, done properly — from anywhere in Gansbaai
Nine hours in a chair is a training stimulus — it just trains the wrong things. Maddy's desk-worker coaching is built to push back with structure rather than slogans. The programme pairs two to four strength sessions a week — with deliberate emphasis on the hinge, pull, and upper-back work that long sitting leaves underused — with a daily step floor and short movement breaks you can do in office clothes between meetings. Hips and thoracic spine get targeted mobility work in warm-ups, because that is where desk stiffness concentrates. The plan is not physiotherapy and does not pretend to be: aches that persist belong with a clinician, and the coaching trains around what is cleared, scaling any movement that a cranky back or hip objects to. Check-ins track the same scoreboard weekly — sessions, steps, sleep — so drift gets caught early. The chair is not going anywhere; the goal is a body that stops being defined by it.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- Strength emphasis on what sitting neglects: hinges, rows, and upper-back work programmed weekly.
- A daily step floor plus short movement breaks designed for office clothes and office hours.
- Targeted hip and upper-spine mobility built into warm-ups, where desk stiffness concentrates.
- Honest lane-keeping: persistent pain goes to a clinician; the plan trains and scales around what is cleared.
- A simple weekly scoreboard — sessions, steps, sleep — reviewed at every check-in so drift is caught early.
Who this is for:
- Office workers whose bodies feel ten years older than their age after a decade at a desk.
- Remote workers whose commute disappeared and whose daily movement went with it.

Common questions
Can training really offset sitting all day?
It cannot delete the hours in the chair, and honest coaching will not claim otherwise. What it demonstrably can do is build strength in the movements sitting neglects, restore movement through stiff areas, and raise your daily activity — which together change how a desk week feels on the body.
My lower back gets achy after long days. Can I still train?
Usually yes, with intelligent scaling — movements are selected and progressed to respect what your back tolerates today. But coaching is not diagnosis: pain that is persistent, sharp, or worsening should be assessed by a clinician first, and the plan then works with what they clear.
What can I actually do at the office between sessions?
The plan includes short movement breaks — a couple of minutes of hip, spine, and shoulder work you can do in work clothes — plus a step floor that turns calls and lunch breaks into activity. None of it requires a mat, sweat, or explaining yourself to colleagues.
