You want everyday activities to feel easier and feel more confident in what your body can do.
You may be new to exercise or returning after a break. You want a sensible starting point and a plan you understand.
You want to learn how to train and eventually make good decisions for yourself.
What you will build
Our work is physical and practical. Progress is measured not only by what happens in a session, but by what becomes easier, more reliable, or possible outside it.
Build strength for the activities you love, feel the difference in your body, and enjoy seeing what you can achieve.
Build stamina for busy days and hobbies, with more energy to enjoy life beyond work.
Learn the essentials, understand your progress and enjoy your new body.
A full session when time allows, a shorter option for busy weeks and a clear plan for getting back to it after interruptions.
Stronger Again Reset
Your starting programme
Every route starts with the 12-week Reset: understand your starting point, learn how to train and build a routine that works for you. Choose in-person, hybrid or online support, then continue developing through Stronger Again Progress.
Discuss what you want to achieve, your circumstances and your budget. Together, we will choose the right way to work.
A consultation, health screening and relevant assessments to understand your experience, confidence and goals, in person or by video.
In-person or hybrid PT with one, two or three coached appointments each week, or online PT with remote guidance and reviews.
A programme built around your goals, available time and equipment. Hybrid and online include prescribed independent workouts with clear instructions.
Weekly progress checks, a programme review approximately every four weeks and adjustments when needed. We review what is working and what needs to change.
At the end of Reset, review your progress and agree your next goals. Move into Stronger Again Progress with the delivery format and level of support that now suit you.
Three ways to train
Every option brings together an individual programme, practical coaching and regular review. Choose how we work together around your confidence, circumstances and budget.
In person
Train alongside Pete, with regular instruction, encouragement and practical feedback. Your coached appointments are the centre of your programme.
Hybrid
Combine sessions with Pete and independent workouts he sets for you. Both parts form one coordinated programme, with your training recorded, reviewed and adapted.
Fully remote
Follow a programme created for you, wherever you train. Pete provides instruction, feedback and accountability while you complete your workouts independently.
Your in-person support
Available with both in-person and hybrid PT. One, Two and Three describe your coached appointments with Pete each week; your full programme may include additional independent activity.
The same philosophy and care at every frequency. We agree the right support around your goals, available time and budget. Your first appointment includes assessment; progress reviews are included within your appointment allowance.
Stronger Again Progress
Continue with fresh goals, an updated programme and the support that helps you keep going. Progress is available in person, as hybrid PT or fully online, with ongoing monthly payment and a fuller review every 12 weeks.
The Stronger Again philosophy
Start where you are. Build what matters.
Find your rhythm. Keep progressing.
About Pete

“Exercise that supports your life - and doesn't compete with it.”
I’m Pete Bernard. For more than 25 years, I have worked as a career, business, executive, and life coach - helping people make substantial changes within the realities of their lives.
Stronger Again brings that experience together with my growing personal training practice.
My focus is on what you want to be able to do in your life, and how we can make exercise an enjoyable and regular part of your week.
Useful questions
No. Beginners and people returning after a break are welcome. You do not need a history of training to want to feel stronger again. Your programme will reflect your starting point, confidence and goals, and we will discuss suitability before you commit.
In-person appointments for both PT and hybrid take place at PureGym Diss. Online clients train at their own gym or at home, with a programme suited to their available equipment. Any separate gym membership costs are confirmed before booking.
No. Stronger Again is personal training, not medical diagnosis, physiotherapy or medical rehabilitation. Where a need falls outside Pete's scope, the right next step may be clearance, referral or collaboration with another professional.
Reset leads into Stronger Again Progress: ongoing training and coaching with updated goals and regular reviews. You can stay with the same format or change your support as your needs develop. If you are ready to train independently, we can agree a plan for that too.
Your price depends on the delivery format and number of in-person appointments. Booking two or three coached sessions each week gives you a lower rate per session. The total Reset price, payment options, ongoing Progress cost and any separate gym fees will be clear before you commit.
In-person PT centres on your coached appointments. Hybrid combines those appointments with independent workouts that Pete prescribes, records with you and reviews as part of one programme. Both offer one, two or three in-person sessions each week; the right balance depends on your needs.
Use our agreed contact channel for training questions, with replies within two working days, Monday to Friday. Hybrid and online include a weekly check-in and feedback on up to two short exercise clips per week where useful. For in-person PT, progress checks are included in your appointments.
We will discuss your experience, confidence, equipment and ability to follow the programme independently before you commit. Online PT includes video consultations and reviews, exercise demonstrations and feedback. Your workouts are completed independently; regular live video supervision of whole workouts is not part of the standard service.
