It comes from Aristotle. Every living thing has a telos, its end, its ultimate purpose. The telos of an acorn is to become an oak tree. But an acorn in the wrong environment isnโt going to grow. It needs the right conditions.
Thatโs why we use the term. Pursuing our telos. It essentially means pursuing our potential.
And to do that, we need to understand what our values are, what our mission is, whatโs really important to us. We need to do so much more.
For me it started with a decision to get fit, get strong, get out of pain, and asking for help with that. Look where thatโs led.
Fitness isnโt something you go and do and stay the same. It doesnโt work like that. It changes you fundamentally. The person I needed to become to quit drinking, quit smoking, get back training, overcome pain. Iโm a different person. Right?
And I see it in Telos all the time. People doing things they had no intention of doing when they joined. Meditation. Writing. Abstaining from alcohol. Getting back to a sport they once thought was beyond them. Changing career. Broadening their horizons. Gaining clarity on the obstacles that were holding them back. Killing off disempowering beliefs. Getting clear on the life they really want to live.
Thatโs the ripple effect. And itโs the most rewarding part of what I do.
Our mind is our body, and our body is our mind. When we look after the body, we have changes in the mind. A different outlook. And when youโre not worried about stiffness and pain, that zaps energy and focus, you can focus elsewhere.
Physical progress is a gateway. It was for me.
Itโs why I love what I do. It led to my career change also.
Itโs been a class holiday. I got what I wanted out of it. Refreshed, energised, content. But also looking forward to getting back. Weโve work to do in Telos. The journey continues.

Guy in his forties in the gym this morning. Squat. Romanian deadlift. Overhead press. All perfectly good exercises. Following an app, working hard, putting the effort in.
But his technique was off. And he wasnโt moving well. Poor range of motion. Hips not functioning. Very poor squat range of motion.
Heโll probably be sore tomorrow. But heโll still be just as stiff when he comes home from his holidays. Heโs โgetting strongerโ while further disimproving how he moves.
Heโs training a strength program, which he needs. But he also needs to train movement.

That tightness is a tax on your body. A tax on your energy. And if youโre in pain, that steals your focus too, whilst reducing your quality of life.
This is my non-negotiable daily mobility routine. But on its own it wonโt fix all that. Itโs just one component. Intelligent strength training is the other half of it. It has to come together.

Movement is the foundation. The prerequisite.

The issue is that most strength coaches think strength is the foundation.
They donโt truly understand how to train someone to move better.
So people build muscle and strength whilst dis-improving how they move.
That catches up with you. Especially as you get older.
We do both as both are necessary. In a logical sequence. Using a holistic approach.
Train to move well, be strong and feel great.
Train for the life you dream of.
