If we had a pound for every time someone asked us about cold plunges, supplements, or the latest biohacking trend before they’d nailed the basics, we’d be able to install an ice bath on every street corner. (We won’t, by the way.)
And look, we get it.
Sitting in an infrared sauna feels productive. Taking an expensive supplement stack makes you feel like an athlete. Listening to a podcast about elite recovery hacks makes you feel dialed in.
But here’s the truth: for 99% of people, 99% of results come from mastering the fundamentals.
The 99% That Actually Moves the Needle
Want to get stronger, fitter, and actually see results from your training? Here’s what truly matters:
Move enough. Get 8,000-12,000 steps per day, take the stairs, play with your kids, stretch, and avoid long periods of sitting still.
Train consistently. Strength train at least three times per week, challenge your muscles, push yourself, and apply progressive overload.
Fuel your body properly. Prioritise protein, eat enough to support your training but not so much that you undo your hard work, and focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods.
Recover the right way. Get 7+ hours of sleep, stay hydrated, and take rest days when needed.
Master these, and you’ll be stronger, fitter, leaner, and more capable than 99% of people. And guess what? It doesn’t require fancy equipment, expensive gadgets, or extreme protocols.
The 1% That Everyone’s Obsessed With
People love a shortcut. They want that edge. That quick fix. That extra 1% that they think will change everything.
Cold plunges might improve recovery and mental resilience.
Red light therapy might have some marginal benefits for cellular function.
Compression boots might aid circulation.
But none of these things will make up for poor training, inconsistent nutrition, or lack of sleep.
You can’t ice-bath your way out of weak muscles. You can’t red-light your way to strength. You can’t compression-boot your way to fitness.
Most of these interventions are designed for elite athletes—people training at the absolute limit of their capacity, searching for the smallest advantage. For the rest of us, they’re distractions.
The Coopers Hill Approach: Master the Basics First
That’s why, at Coopers Hill, we don’t waste time on gimmicks. We focus on what actually works:
✅ Expert coaching that keeps you accountable, pushes you when needed, and adapts training to your level.
✅ A structured plan that makes progress inevitable—whether your goal is fat loss, strength, or overall fitness.
✅ A supportive community that helps you stay consistent when motivation dips.
✅ Simple, effective nutrition strategies that fit into your life, not unrealistic meal plans.
✅ A training environment designed for results—not flashy nonsense.
That’s exactly what we teach in our Six-Week Challenge—how to lock in the fundamentals so you can finally see the progress you’ve been chasing.
We’re not against the 1%. But we know where it fits. If you’re training hard, eating well, and recovering properly, then sure—experiment with the extras. But if you haven’t nailed the basics, you’re wasting time.

If you want to move, feel, and perform better for life, forget the biohacking fads. You need a solid training plan, expert guidance, and a little patience.
That’s exactly what we provide at Coopers Hill Personal Training.
