Most of his clients are of International level. Jan focuses not only on increasing their power, speed and strength in the gym, but before any of this can be achieved, it is essential that the body is strong as a whole unit. Jan achieves this through a postural correction-training programme. Jan will assess the player posturally, identify weaknesses and imbalances (more apparent for props) and then design a correctional programme to strengthen and correct any weaknesses and defects throughout the kinetic chain of the body. This will have a massive reduction on the risk of picking up any injury, something that is usually a common occurrence in Rugby.

Once the posture is solid and strong as a whole, the fun can then begin.

He will prescribe the player a cycle of training programmes (depending on what stage of the season they are in) focusing on an arrangement of strength, power, speed, agility and muscular endurance programmes.

Pre-season the player would be working on strength and CV fitness, mid-season the player would focus on strength endurance and rugby specific drills.
