THE HURN METHOD

Build a stronger life love the process.

Life has a way of pulling us away from the habits that make us feel our best. The Hurn Method combines personalised coaching with sustainable strength training to help you build a stronger, healthier and more capable life.

Start Your Application

Because life doesn't follow a program.

A great training program is important. But when life gets busy, motivation fades, an injury sets you back or your priorities change, a program alone can only take you so far.

That's where coaching makes the difference.

Together, we'll adapt your training to your life, not force your life to fit your training. We'll know when to push, when to pull back and when consistency matters more than perfection.

I believe strength is the foundation for a healthier, more capable life. My role isn't just to help you get stronger; it's to help you build a relationship with strength that lasts. One that supports your goals, fits your lifestyle and becomes something you genuinely enjoy.

Because the best program in the world only works if you can keep showing up.

That's what this coaching is designed to help you do.

What you’ll receive

A personalized coaching experience designed to help you get stronger, stay consistent and enjoy the process.

Personalised programming

Every program is designed around your goals, training history, current ability and the realities of your weekly schedule.

Weekly coaching check-ins

Regular check-ins keep your training moving forward, adapting when life changes and helping you make confident decisions along the way.

Monthly strategy calls

Each month we'll review your progress, refine your approach and make sure your training continues to support your long-term goals.

Technique reviews and support

Receive exercise feedback, movement analysis and ongoing support whenever you need guidance between check-ins

Who one-to-one coaching is for

This coaching is for people who are ready to invest in long-term strength, not short-term motivation.

For you if...

You want to build strength that supports your life, not just your performance.
You're looking for guidance, not just another programme.
You value consistency over perfection.
You're willing to communicate openly and trust the process.
You're ready to play the long game.

Not for you if...

You're looking for a quick fix or a six-week transformation.
You expect every week of training to feel perfect.
You aren't prepared to adapt when life changes.
You're unwilling to communicate or take ownership of the process.

There's nothing wrong with that—it just isn't how I coach.

Client stories

Shanè

“When I first walked into the gym, I had never touched a barbell. Everything felt new, but Dwayne gave me the confidence to learn one step at a time.

Over the next two years I lost more than 30kg, became a World Champion Powerlifter and set a World Record. More importantly, I discovered what I was capable of. Strength changed far more than my bodyit changed my confidence, my mindset and my life."

Paul

"When I first came to Dwayne, I had a frozen shoulder and surgery seemed like my only option. Together we committed to rehabilitation instead. That was over five years ago.

Today, strength training is one of my favourite parts of the week. What I've appreciated most isn't just the results, it's the attention to detail. Every programme is built around what I need, adapts when life changes and still keeps me progressing. I didn't just avoid surgery; I found a way of training that I'll stick with for life.”

Alex

“When I came to Dwayne, I had just been diagnosed with cancer in my femur. I wanted to keep training before surgery and continue afterwards, but I needed someone who understood how to adapt every step of the process.

Together we worked around my treatment, focused on what I could do and collaborated closely with my physiotherapist throughout my rehabilitation. Today I've made a full recovery, I'm back to strength training and I'm even deadlifting again. Having a coach who could adapt my training without losing sight of the bigger picture made all the difference."

Dan

“I first came to Dwayne for help with my Olympic lifting. I'd always believed I didn't have the mobility to overhead squat, but within a few minutes he had me doing one. That completely changed the way I looked at my training.

Since then he's helped me improve my strength well beyond Olympic lifting. Over the years we've gone from coach and client to training partners and good mates. What I appreciate most is that he sees what you're capable of, even when you don't.”

Meet your coach

Strength has shaped my life for more than twenty years. Through rugby, rowing, CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting, I've seen what it's like to chase performance, push limits and build resilience.

But I've also experienced burnout.

I know what it feels like when training stops supporting your life and starts becoming another source of pressure. That experience changed how I coach.

Today, my philosophy is simple.

I believe strength is the foundation for a healthier, more capable life. But strength only matters if it enhances your life, not if it consumes it.

Whether you're stepping into a gym for the first time or chasing your next performance goal, my role is the same: to help you get stronger, enjoy the process and build habits that last.

Because great coaching isn't about creating dependence. It's about giving you the confidence and capability to keep moving forward long after we've worked together.

Investment and next steps

One-to-one coaching starts from R3,000 per month.

Your coaching includes a personalised strength programme, weekly coaching, monthly strategy sessions, technique reviews and direct access for support when you need it.

Because I work closely with every client, spaces are intentionally limited. This allows me to give each person the attention, communication and coaching they deserve.

If you're ready to build strength, enjoy the process and create a healthier relationship with training, I'd love to hear from you.
