One hour, one-to-one, in the gym you already train in. You lift as normal. I teach you to film it like a pro — on your own phone — so you leave every session with clips that look like someone was paid to shoot them. Because you were taught how.
Every lesson is built so you walk out with two things: clips on your phone that are ready to post, and the reason they look good.
Filmed on your phone, by you, under my direction. Nothing sits on my drive waiting to be sent — it's yours the second the set ends.
Angles, light, movement, hooks. After a few takes you'll see the shot before you set the phone down — and you'll never need me to get it.
I set up around your session. Your rest timer runs, the camera rolls. No re-doing sets for the shot, no wasted workout.
Vertical, sharp, hook-first — built for Reels and TikTok. Different vibe every lesson, so your feed never looks like the same clip on repeat.
Five modules, twenty one-hour lessons. Start with Take 01; after that take them in any order, jump between modules, or book an Open Shoot and we just film your actual session that day. Finish all twenty and you can shoot anything in a gym.
Here's the whole hour with nothing hidden, so you know exactly what you're paying for before you book. You are training, not modelling. The camera works around your session, never the other way round.
You tell me the session. I tell you which shots we're going after, and we agree the plan before anything is filmed.
The settings that actually matter, set on your phone, once. You keep them for every session after this one.
Your session, your pace, your rest timer. I direct the shot around your working sets. No set is ever re-done for the camera.
We go through what you shot and I tell you why each clip works — so you can get it again without me.
Which clip to post first, and which take to book next based on what you struggled with today.
Every lesson is one hour, one-to-one, at Retro Flex. Packs lock your rate in for every lesson inside them.
£20 is your rate, and it holds until Mon 9 Nov. Buy a pack before then and every lesson inside it stays £20 for you — however long you take to use them.
Editing is Module 04, and you'll get there. Until you do, shoot it in the lesson and send it to me — you get back a finished, post-ready reel: vertical, colour graded, captioned if you want it. Delivered within 72 hours.
Limited, dated, and gone when the season ends. If it's listed here, it's live now — or it says exactly when it opens.
Thursday and Sunday evenings at Retro Flex — the quieter hours, so we get the floor, the light and the angles without the crowd.

Members only — lessons happen on the gym floor, around your normal session. First lessons: Thursday 1 October.
Open the calendar and take a real Thursday or Sunday hour. Only free slots are shown. Then write the take you want in the notes box on the form.
Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Receipt and confirmation land in your inbox straight away — and I'm notified instantly.
You'll get a DM from @m4tt.lifts_ asking what you're training, so the shot list is ready. Need to move or cancel it? Do it yourself from your confirmation email. Cancel before it starts and you get a full refund.
Put your name on it and this path is yours. It saves to the device you're on, under your name — nobody else opening this link sees your ticks, and you don't see theirs. It stays on that device rather than following you to another, so use the one you'll have with you. My record is still the master; this is so you know where you are between lessons.
This list lives on your device, so I can't see your ticks from here. When you book, write the take you want in the notes box — or DM me and I'll tell you where you're up to from my own record.
No. I'm a cinematics coach, not a PT. You train your own programme at your own pace; I coach how it's filmed. If you ever want form or programming advice, ask a qualified PT at Retro Flex.
Any phone from the last four years or so shoots 1080p at 60fps, which is more than enough. Bring it charged with a few GB free. I bring the small kit — clamp, mini tripod, light.
You decide what's filmed. Plenty of the strongest gym content is hands, plates, silhouettes and shadows. Take 03 (Light) is where most people stop caring about the camera.
We film your station only, and never other members without asking them first. Retro Flex has approved the lessons and the filming.
Yes — it's yours. If you tag @m4tt.lifts_ I'll share it, and if you'd like a collab post we can set that up.
Your confirmation email has cancel and reschedule links in it. Move it yourself, free, any time before your lesson starts. Packs stay valid for 12 weeks.
Yes, any time before your lesson starts. Cancel from your confirmation email and the full amount goes back to your card automatically. Once your lesson has started it can't be refunded, and not turning up counts as the lesson used. Lessons you haven't taken from a pack are refundable while the pack is valid. Full refund policy →
Entirely your pace. One a week is about five months; most people do two or three a month and mix in Open Shoots. You're not signing up for twenty — you book one at a time, and plenty of members will stop at four or five because by then they can already shoot.
Only Take 01 is fixed — everything after leans on it. After that, jump wherever you want. If you already film well and just can't edit, start at Module 04. If you're not sure, I'll tell you which take you actually need.
