Six checks, listed separately. A check is either completed, in review, or not completed. Setgo does not average them and does not give a coach a level.

  • Qualifications reviewed

    Completed

    Setgo reads the certificates listed on this profile and checks that each one names this coach.

  • References completed

    Completed

    Setgo speaks to people who have worked with this coach and records what they said.

  • Safeguarding completed

    Completed

    A session run by Setgo covering the code of conduct, the two-adult rule for sessions with children, and how an incident is recorded and escalated.

  • First aid current

    Completed

    A first aid certificate on file and in date. It lapses on its own date and returns to not current until it is renewed.

  • Setgo programme approved

    Completed

    Clearance to deliver Setgo programmes. Requires every check above plus a session observed by Setgo.

James has completed Setgo safeguarding. Sessions with children run with two authorised adults present, and there is no private digital contact between a coach and a child.

James works with a small group of clients at a time.

In James’s words

Lifters who want a real plan, and beginners willing to learn one.

Strength & conditioning specialist with 12 years of experience. Former national-level athlete. I focus on long-term progressive programming: we set the plan together, we write down every session, and we adjust it from what the record actually shows.

How a session gets written down

James records a short voice note after a session. It becomes a structured draft, James reads it, corrects it and approves it, and only then does anything reach you.

Below are the two states a record can be in. Neither is James’s: they show the format, including the part you would not see.

A big week in the small games. She asked for the ball instead of waiting for it, and when it came she kept her head up.

Always visibly badged as a draft. Never counted, never sent, never exported. Approval converts it into one of the four real types above.

Reviews

No reviews yet

Setgo has not run sessions with paying customers, so there is nothing here to read. When there is, a review will come from somebody who trained with James, with their permission, and nothing will be written on their behalf.
