WHAT'S WRONG
You've tried before.
The problem was never effort.
You know training matters. You've started more times than you can count, and it isn't because you don't care or you're lazy.
For a lot of people with ADHD, interest does more of the work than importance. Something new lights you up, so the first few weeks feel easy. Then the novelty wears off, the same session feels flat, and you need something new to keep going. Every small decision the gym throws at you costs energy, and missing one session makes the next one feel twice as hard.
That's not a willpower problem. Most plans assume you can keep going on discipline alone. That's a fundamental design flaw.
You start strong, miss one session, then two and now somehow a month has passed
You feel guilty about missing sessions, which makes going back feel harder and the shame builds
A new routine feels exciting for a few weeks, then boredom hits and you want the next new thing
You go all in for a fortnight, then it's nothing. The middle never seems to exist
Work gets heavy and training is the first thing to go
You pack your kit, leave the house, maybe even drive to the gym, but you just can't start
The result? Years of stop-start. And a quiet voice telling you it's your fault...
It wasn't.
It wasn't.
THE ADHD FITNESS COACHING DIFFERENCE
Built to remove the friction your willpower can't.
01
ADHD-first programming
Every session is written out top to bottom, so your energy goes on the workout, not the decisions. Each phase, some exercises stay so you can see your progress, some get harder, and new ones arrive before boredom does the damage. Weights, reps and progression are tracked for you, and I explain why it's built that way.
02
The Future You conversation
About six weeks in, a guided session builds a vivid picture of your future self. Not affirmations. Not goal-setting. The motivation becomes yours. More below.
03
Built for the bad weeks
Miss a week? There's no lecture and nothing to confess. The next session is a shorter way back in, the plan bends, and you carry on. Drop-off is planned for, not punished.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Here's what's in the coaching. And what's not.
What's in
A training programme built around you and your goals: fat loss, building muscle, gaining strength, or just training that sticks. Your body, your gym space, your week.
Phases that progress with you. Fresh exercises and evolving load.
A weekly check-in that meets the hard weeks where they are. It drops down when you're ready.
A coach who adjusts the plan when life shifts.
Accountability when you need it. Space when you don't.
A short session still counts. No permission needed.
Time off is fine. Life gets busy. Keep me in the loop where you can and we'll work it out.
What's not
A template with your name on the top.
The same workouts, month after month.
Check-ins that skip past the bad weeks.
The same plan, no matter what you've shared.
Daily 'have you trained yet?' messages.
All or nothing: a session either happens in full or not at all.
A lecture when you come back.
Both columns say the same thing: the coaching fits you, not the other way round. It stays fresh enough to hold your interest and steady enough that you're never stuck guessing, and clear enough that you understand why. When a week falls apart, the plan bends and you carry on.

THE FUTURE YOU METHOD
Future You is who you already are.
Most people treat their future self as someone they have to become. That makes them a stranger, and research suggests the less connected we feel to our future self, the less we tend to do for them. So the plan feels abstract and the shame keeps saying you're not there yet.
The Future You method starts from a different place. Future You is the person who already lives what matters to you, underneath the years of being told you were doing it wrong. When you can picture them clearly, training stops being a "should" and becomes something they do.
In practice, once the relationship is solid and you're ready to try it, we run a guided visualisation session. After that, everything in the coaching keeps that person in view.

ABOUT DAVE
Built by someone who needed it too.
I never thought the gym would be one of the only places I can follow a plan and make consistent progress. It gives me what I need: structure, progress, a rush of dopamine, and somewhere to put my hyperfocus.
I'm Dave, diagnosed with ADHD in 2025, a geek about the science of training, and I use the same Future You app and the same method as everyone I coach. The method exists because I needed it first.
