How is My Sisu Method different from a standard online gym?

What results can I expect, and how long does it take?

Clients consistently report being HEALTHY, STRONG, and ENERGETIC. This means having the energy to play with your kids, feeling strong in your career, and sleeping better. Since my focus is on sustainable habits, we aim for consistent, long-term progress rather than quick fixes.

I have [back pain / mild scoliosis / joint issues]. Can I still train?

Is the Sisu Method suitable for people over 50 or who are retired?

I use methods like Pilates to improve core control and flexibility, which is vital for pain-free living. The Sisu Method is perfectly suited for midlife and beyond because: Unleashing Sisu means we build functional strength needed for daily living like getting up from a chair easily or maintaining stability. Replenishing the Sisu Tank focuses on optimizing sleep, recovery, and energy management, which become even more vital as we age.

All sessions are conducted live and interactively via Zoom, allowing me to watch your form and adapt the workout in real-time. You only need basic, portable equipment (like a kettlebell, bands, or a chair) and a small space at home.

What if I need to adjust a session or need help during the week?

I offer unmatched support. When life happens: a work meeting, travel, or a sick child, I offer flexible session swaps. Crucially, I provide personalized accountability and support via WhatsApp in six languages to ensure you never get left behind.

Do I need to be in the UK or Finland to train with you?
