WE ARE THE NATURAL EDGE

Although TNE was founded in 2017, the journey really started in 2009 when John and Simon met whilst serving as Royal Marine Commandos and operating alongside UK Special Forces. Working in a job that placed huge demands on the body and mind, and where second place could result in serious injury or death, sparked a deep interest in human performance.

Along the way they realised how many people are struggling in modern society with their physical and mental health. Sick and tired of the misinformation and half truths that confuse people and confuse an already complex topic, they decided to do something about it.

Bulletproof the body!
•
One of the key things I’ve learned over 20 years of training is that one dimensional approaches leave you exposed. I’ve experienced that feeling of frustration when mobility or movement issues limit progress, or worse cause an injury, and it’s not a fun place to be.
•
Humans are built for motion, to sprint, jump, crawl, climb, lift, balance, throw … to move with freedom, and without pain. But we rarely do this in the modern world where we sit for hours at a time. If you compound this with training regimes that have little movement variety it’s a recipe for creating imbalances that leave you vulnerable.
•
If you limit your body's capacity to express a wide variety of movement patterns you limit your potential and increase your risk of injury! Life is unpredictable … How many times have you tweaked your back, pulled a muscle, or strained your body in some other way? Often by simply bending or twisting! Movements that should always be natural and easy for us.
•
The solution is building a body that is resilient. With some simple adjustments and additions you can make sure it doesn’t let you down when you need it. Having a primary focus such as running or weightlifting is fine, but it should not be exclusive. Adding in work on other dimensions (e.g. mobility, strength, coordination), and creating balance in your training will develop symmetry in your physique, improve posture, and optimise your potential to perform.
•
Crucially, learning correct form is also vital: Good form means proper body alignment, stability and learning how to correctly work the targeted area. Do this and you will drastically improve your results and reduce the risk of injury. Execute movements poorly and it exposes you e.g. back, knee and hip issues, tears and strains, tightness.
•
This is why our expert coaches run workshops for our Academy members, to help build resilience, break through your plateaus and increase total performance with simple, easy to learn techniques.

We have a few places left on our November weekend which we are opening up to the public (fully COVID compliant), you can DM me for details if you’re interested.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

“Since following TNE my health and lifestyle has improved a great deal. In the beginning my diet wasn’t great, so I decided to start off small. I can honestly say I feel so much better for it, my performance in the gym has improved, as well as my body shape and how much energy I have.”

SOPHIE TYAS

“After struggling with my weight for years I really think I have found a place where I can not only improve my weight but also myself as a person. I feel part of a growing community of like minded people who want to not only improve themselves but help you improve yourself.”

STUART MARSH

“The changes around my nutrition have led to me being generally being happier, my training has come on amazingly and I have again learnt to listen and respect my body. The team are so supportive, informative and above all passionate. I am so grateful to have found this!”
