    Following Keith's "level up programme" has certainly been a major game changer in my physical health and performance. The flexible and tailor made approach and the personal follow-up allowed me to get the most out of it and achieve significant progress in a short time span. The workouts have undoubtedly had a massive impact on my performance in the water. Having better stamina, more strength and explosivity has allowed me to focus more on surf technique when I'm actually surfing. Finally and most importantly, Keith designed the workouts in a way to keep you motivated and have fun.

    Been training with Keith for a while now. He customizes a comprehensive and varied workout schedule. The workouts focus on both strength and flexibility and are effective for surfing. Keith is very helpful and once you send a message he responds promptly and comprehensively. Would definitely recommend training with Level Up to improve your surfing and be ready for your surf sessions.

    ★★★★★

    Keith's guidance is not only top notch but also very flexible. If there are busier weeks at work he can adjust the schedule briefly where you still make progress. The constant availability is also super! Questions do not remain unanswered for long! I can definitely see improvement in my surfing thanks to Level Up!

Frequently asked questions

  • The customized surf training program is a personal training plan built around your body, your surfing and your goals. After the Level Up Physical Screening and an intake questionnaire, your coach makes every workout specifically for you. You train in 8-week blocks, so you work on what you actually need to surf better and reach your goals.

  • With the standard program, you choose from a set of video workouts each month. With the customized program, every workout is made for you based on your screening results and intake questionnaire. You also get accountability and your coach can adjust your program exercises and workouts at any given time when necessary.

  • The customized surf training program costs €99.99 per month and works in training blocks of 8 weeks. It includes the Level Up Physical Screening, an intake questionnaire, completely custom-made workouts, coach support through a private chat / progress reviews and all the Level Up app features. You have access to hundreds of healthy food recipes, you can track your calories and connect your wearables to track your progress. If requested nutrition coaching is also included in the price.

  • Your coach builds every workout from a library of over 700 surf-specific exercises. The exercises are chosen using your screening results, intake questionnaire and surfing goals, so your plan targets your weak points and is different from anyone else’s.

  • You start with the Level Up Physical Screening, which shows your current strength, mobility and movement quality. You also fill in an intake questionnaire about your surfing, experience, goals and any injuries. Your coach uses both to design your first training block. The screening is done by self-recorded videos that you have to send to your coach. The questionnaire is a pdf document with questions you will have to fill in.

  • Yes. Catching more waves comes down to paddle strength, endurance and a fast, smooth pop-up. Your coach uses your screening results to find what’s holding you back, then builds workouts that train exactly those areas. Because every workout has a purpose for your surfing, your training time goes to the things that make the biggest difference in the water.

  • Yes. Because every workout is made for you, your plan starts at your current level and builds up at a pace that suits you. You don’t need previous gym or surf experience. The screening and intake questionnaire tell your coach where you are, and your coach takes it from there.

  • Absolutely. Advanced surfers often have specific weak spots, like limited mobility, imbalances or low power in certain movements, that a general program doesn’t address. With over 700 surf-specific exercises and a plan based on your screening, your coach can target those details and keep challenging you as you improve.

  • Yes. Your coach designs your plan, reviews your screening and intake questionnaire, and adjusts your training as you progress. Within a private chat you can contact your coach as much as you want and your coach typically replies within 24 hours. If your coach doesn’t hear from you for a while he will hold you accountable.

  • Customized training can help you build strength and mobility around the areas surfers often injure, and your coach can adapt exercises to work around problem areas. This is why the intake questionnaire asks about injuries. If you’re currently injured, check with your doctor or physio before starting, and make sure your coach knows about it.

  • Most surfers train 2 to 3 times per week, for 30 to 45 minutes per session. Your coach builds the plan around the time you actually have, so it fits your week instead of the other way around.

  • No gym is needed, but you’re welcome to train at one if you prefer. Your workouts can be done at home with minimal equipment or at a fully equipped gym. The library of 700+ exercises includes options for both, so your coach builds your program around the setup you prefer.

  • Yes. Your workouts are on demand, so you can train whenever and wherever it suits you, whether that’s before work, after a surf session in the water or on a flat day. Based on your intake questionnaire, your coach may suggest a weekly schedule, but the program stays flexible, so you can adjust it whenever life gets in the way.

  • Your workouts are made specifically for you and focus on what surfing demands: paddling strength, pop-up power, core stability, mobility and balance. Because your coach picks from a library of over 700 surf-specific exercises, the mix changes based on your needs and goals.

  • Yes. Every training block is built to progress from the one before. At the end of each block, your progress is reviewed, you repeat the Level Up Physical Screening or parts of it, and your coach designs the next block based on the results. That way your training keeps getting more challenging as you improve.

  • No. The customized program is built around your body, your physical screening and your goals, so it focuses on strength, mobility and fitness rather than surf technique. If you want to learn or fix techniques like the pop-up, bottom turns, top turns, cutback or nose riding, The Surf Technique Blueprint is the course for that. You can combine it with your customized plan.
