Outlier Personal Training
The Outlier coaching model is about building a more personable relationship to assist in the requirements it takes to achieve your fitness and wellness goals. This can be in a one to one or small group format depending upon your goals or requirements. There are great advantages to building this partnership as I can pass on my knowledge directly, and you are more accountable and motivated to understand and execute the efforts required to achieving your desired outcome. Whether that is to shift some unwanted weight and realign your body composition, build strength and endurance, prepare for sport specific goals or recover from injury.
Commitment to coaching builds understanding and micro detailing from both sides of the partnership and is a highly effective long term solution to achieving your goals or for a quick introduction to get you into The Outlier Programme itself. Its a great point to establish the nuances that can make all the difference with exercise execution and technique as well as guiding lifestyle choices, nutrition, hydration and recovery that are better managed in a coaching situation, learning and adjusting as you progress. This gives me the ability to pass on the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the years to navigate you through change. It is personable, direct and to the point, challenging and yet enjoyable, and the questions are more easily answered when we have a direct and personal line of communication.
The location you choose to train from has limited sway on the outcome when the attitude is adjusted to focus and put the mind where the body needs to go. There are some equipment basics required of course, but nothing fancy or unworthy of the investment in yourself longer term.
I have a limited number of hours to take on personal coaching so these exclusive opportunities are highly cherished and very prized to me. If you would like to apply for a free consultation to discuss in further detail please do.
“Aged over forty I’d never set foot inside a gym before I started PT session’s with Darren. It just wasn’t something I was into, but I found the relaxed community atmosphere of Barber’s Gym combined with Darren’s carefully crafted work-out routines meant that exercise felt much less of a chore than I expected and today I can’t imagine a future without regular training. Much of a cliché as it sounds, it genuinely has changed my life for the better, not simply the obvious stuff like losing weight and improved physique, but increased energy levels and general well-being.”

“I had worked out fairly regularly for years but my workouts were becoming pretty perfunctory and I wasn’t getting much benefit. Then the pandemic happened during which I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and also discovered I needed fairly major surgery on both feet. I was stuck in a rut with my fitness until I reconnected with Darren. I travel a lot so working out with Darren online is perfect, whether I’m in a hotel room, mega corporate gym or back garden he has progressive and enjoyable workouts for me.
Darren has a background in rehabilative exercise so he really thinks about what’s going to improve my condition. In the six months or so that I have been training with Darren I feel so much more confident physically and my outlook on life has definitely improved. Darren gets you to push back against those barriers and limitations that your mind imposes on you. I’m doing stuff that I haven’t done for years and thought I would never do again.”

“One to one coaching with Darren Barber has had a dramatic impact on my health and fitness helping me to lose just over 3 stone and importantly to maintain that weight loss over the years I have trained with him. I would thoroughly recommend Darren (and indeed The Outlier Programme) for his inspirational sessions, professionalism and warmth of personality that makes a session something to look forward to.”
