Hello, and welcome!
I'm Sam Tyson, and I'm a Movement Coach, Climber and Sports Massage Therapist.
My approach to movement stems from a lifetime of diverse physical disciplines: I competed nationally both in martial arts and long distance running, and went on to perform professionally as a dancer. I later worked as Head Coach at a dedicated movement gym, teaching acrobatics, calisthenics, and gymnastic strength. Over lockdown, I explored parkour and urban climbing, which naturally led me to rock climbing: the primary focus of my own athletic journey today.
When I'm not teaching, moving, or researching the latest studies on training and health, you'll usually find me sitting outside in the park, playing guitar, or simply relaxing and reading a good book (I love both fantasy and history!).
Movement Coaching
Mobility, Strength and Calisthenics
Built for curious, open-minded movers who value movement quality over short-term hacks. We build rock-solid foundations in mobility, joint prep, calisthenics, and active flexibility to prepare you for decades of adventure. By training versatility and balance over rigid routines, you’ll gain deep body awareness, agility, and fearlessness. Every program starts with a movement assessment and is built from scratch, unifying your sports, rehab, and fitness into one holistic plan to prevent overuse injuries.
Climbing Coaching
Structured Progression, Technique & Mindset
Designed for thoughtful climbers ready to replace random sessions with a deliberate strategy. Whether targeting an outdoor project or breaking a plateau, we train specifically for your goals: developing finger strength, power, power-endurance, or capacity. Through technique practice, we seek to optimise movement efficiency and understand how to transfer more weight into the feet. Together we navigate fear of falling, failure, and frustration to cultivate curiosity, fearlessness, and joy in the process of learning.
Sports Massage
Performance, Recovery & Rehab
Built for active movers looking to stay injury-free, recover faster, and move without restriction. Integrated into your training, targeted deep tissue, soft tissue release, and trigger point therapy resolve tightness before it becomes a lingering overuse injury. For those recovering from injury, sessions work alongside your rehab to restore tissue tolerance and full motion, combining hands-on treatment with actionable advice from a movement coach.

Movement as a Joy: Training should stem from curiosity, play, and personal motivation—never punishment or guilt.
