Private coaching · Online, worldwide
Obsidian is an application-only coaching practice for people who are done guessing. Training, nutrition and bloodwork-informed protocols, built around your physiology and reviewed by your coach every single week.
The method
No secret protocol. Just an honest assessment, a plan built for you, and a coach who adjusts it while the data is still fresh.
Full intake: training history, food, sleep, labs, life. If you're enhanced, we log the stack. If you're not, we say so and plan accordingly. Baselines before anything changes.
Your program, your macros, your cardio and your protocol are written from the assessment, not pulled from a folder. Everything lands in one app with a daily tracker you can finish in a minute.
Weekly check-in packet: photos, weights, adherence, sleep, mood and every flag the tracker raised. Joseph reads it, changes what needs changing, and tells you why.
What's included
Periodised blocks written for your equipment, schedule and injury history. Log every set in the app; Joseph sees the numbers before you've left the gym.
Targets that move with the plan, foods you'll actually eat, and refeeds placed on purpose.
Panels assembled from what you're running, read against the right reference range, flagged before it becomes a problem.
One packet, one review, one set of changes. Written, so you can re-read it on Wednesday.
Weight, steps, sleep, mood, adherence, side-effects. Sixty seconds a day; the flags do the rest.
Message Joseph directly. Private Discord for the roster. Questions answered, not queued.
Who it's for
Whatever you're chasing, the process is the same: assess honestly, build precisely, adjust weekly. Only the targets change.
Recomposition, a proper build, or a stage prep with a plan for the rebound afterwards. Pose feedback included.
Meet-day totals, not gym PRs. Blocks written backwards from the date, with video review on every heavy set.
Look, feel and test better at 45 than you did at 30. Labs-led, sustainable, and built to survive a busy calendar.
From the roster
Every check-in came back with actual reasoning. I stopped second-guessing the plan because I finally understood it.
He caught a marker on my bloods before my doctor did. That alone was worth the year.
Added 42.5kg to my total across one block. The video feedback on my pull was the difference.
Your coach
Obsidian was built because the alternative is templates. Joseph keeps the roster small enough that he reads every check-in himself, knows every client's history cold, and adjusts from the data rather than the calendar.
Behind the coaching is a platform Joseph designed from scratch: intake, training, nutrition, bloodwork, protocols and check-ins living in one system, with flags that fire the moment something drifts. Nothing gets lost in a chat thread.
How it starts
A short form. Goals, history, what you're running, what's gone wrong before. Two minutes, honest answers.
If it looks like a fit, a 30-minute call with Joseph. Expectations both ways, pricing, and whether now is the right time.
Agreement signed, intake completed, baseline photos and measurements in, first bloodwork panel scheduled.
Program, nutrition and tracker go live in the app. Your first check-in lands seven days later. From there, the loop just runs.
Pricing is set per track and term and shared on the call, once we both know it's a fit. Terms run in blocks of months, not week-to-week, because results do.
No. Most of the roster is natural. If you are enhanced or optimised, you'll be asked to declare it at intake so your labs and protocol are read correctly. Nothing is prescribed, and full consent is signed before anything enhanced is discussed.
Any lab near you. You'll receive the exact panel to request; upload the PDF and it's read within the week. Panels are scheduled around your protocol and tier.
Obsidian runs on its own platform, built in-house. Training log, nutrition targets, daily tracker, check-ins, messaging and documents all live there. iOS and Android.
Yes, within the allowance agreed in your term. Pauses extend your term end date, so you never lose paid time. Health monitoring continues during a pause where a protocol is active.
No. Coaching is fully online and the roster spans several time zones. Check-ins are asynchronous; calls are scheduled around you.
Apply
The roster is capped. When it's full, applications go on a short waitlist and you're contacted the moment a place frees up. Apply once, honestly. Joseph replies personally within two working days.
