“I’ve been training with Sebastian for the past 5 weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! He is knowledgeable, motivating, and always tailor workouts to my goals and abilities. Sebastian brings positivity and encouragement that make every session enjoyable. He has also done a tailored workout with visuals for me to follow.I highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their fitness to the next level!"– Molly Ferguson (via Google)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’ve just completed my second round of training sessions with Sebastian in around 9months. Sebastian is extremely knowledgeable, not only focusing on strength, but also education - I’ve learnt so much about muscles that I didn’t even know I had! He has also tailored my plan to fit and strengthen other hobbies (running) whilst helping me to achieve my goals. I would 100% recommend - Sebastian is not only a great PT but also a lovely guy 👍🏻"– Katie Trice (via Google)

“I’ve been training with Seb for just over a year and the progress has been significant.
We built strong foundations first, which gave me real confidence in the gym.
He’s extremely knowledgeable, pushes me to the next level, and focuses on long-term, sustainable results.
He’s a great guy and we always have a laugh.
I’m stronger, more confident, and I’ll definitely continue working with him and look forward to building on this progress. Highly recommend."– Padmini Parekh (via Google)
¿Quién es Seb?
(Don’t worry — I’ll translate 😏)
I'm Seb, Colombian-born, Spanish-raised, now helping everyday adults in London get stronger, feel fitter, and stop feeling lost in the gym.I coach people who feel out of shape, out of practice, or unsure where to start.People who don't want fitness to become their whole personality, they just want to feel capable again, move better, and actually know what they're doing when they walk through the gym door.Prefer Spanish? Perfecto. Sessions and communication can be in English or Spanish, so nothing gets lost in translation.We train properly, we don't take ourselves too seriously, and yes we laugh between sets.You'll walk in worried. You'll walk out capable.
✨ Here’s how it usually plays out when you train with me…
Week 0 → You arrive unsure
You feel out of shape, out of practice, and maybe like you’ve let yourself go a bit. You’ve tried cardio, diets, random workouts, or starting again every Monday, but nothing has really stuck.
After a few weeks → Training feels clearer
You know what exercises you’re doing, your form starts making sense, and the gym feels less like a guessing game.
Then → You feel capable again
Stronger, fitter, less awkward and not relying on panic motivation to get yourself through the door.
Most people notice the shift within the first few weeks.

FAQ
💭 Not sure if this is for you?
“Am I too unfit to start?”
No. Out of shape, out of practice, nervous, awkward — whatever state you’re in, we start from your level.“Will I actually feel progress, or just sore?”
Yes. The goal isn’t to destroy you for the sake of it. You’ll leave each session clearer, stronger, and knowing what you actually did.“Do I have to commit to a plan straight away?”
No. Most people start with one session first, then decide if they want more structure.“Will the coach actually care?”
Yes. This isn’t group fitness with a clipboard and amnesia. I’ll remember your name, your plan, and what we’re working on LOL.“Do you coach in Spanish?”
Sí. Sessions and communication can be in English or Spanish. Your call.
👉 You don’t need to feel confident to start.You just need one clear first session and someone to show you what to do properly.

🧠 Hola Strength: Terms, Perks & Policies
Last Updated 15th September 2026
Read this before you book — trust me, it’s worth it.Before locking in your spot, take one minute to read this.Just straight-up clarity on what to expect, what’s included, and what you’re committing to when you hit “Book.”
💬 GENERAL TERMS (Applies to Everyone)

- Strength and progress tracking (subscriptions)
- Nutrition guidance — practical, no calorie-counting, no meal-plan bureaucracy

📦 What's included after your first session (and What’s Not):You'll get a simple training plan based on your goals, experience, and what we covered in the session — yours to follow independently.On nutrition: guidance and honest suggestions, not formal meal plans. Good coaching means understanding your habits and lifestyle first — that takes a few sessions, not one.
Stand-alone session vs. packageStand-Alone Session — £59.99- Pay once, train once, no commitment
- Booked via Calendly, up to 21 days in advance
- Best for first-timers or occasional sessions.Packages — 4, 8, or 12 sessions- For clients who know they want to keep training regularly
- Booked directly with me via WhatsApp, one session at a time
- Fixed price per session, cheaper the more you commit to
- Full terms below.New clients start with a stand-alone session via Calendly. If you want to continue afterward, we'll set you up with a subscription directly.
🔥 Where do sessions happen? (As per August 2025)All sessions take place at HITIO Gym Hoxton, London — fully equipped, no waiting for machines, and no judgment. You just show up ready to work.Please keep in mind Hola Strength is an independent coaching service. The gym is simply where sessions take place — I'm not affiliated with its staff or management. If you have questions about coaching, pricing, or availability, please contact me directly.
🗓️ Do I need to fill out any forms before training?One 10-question intake form via Calendly before your first session. You won't need to repeat it unless something significant changes (injury, goals, availability).
STAND-ALONE SESSIONS
Rescheduling- 24 hours' notice or more: you can reschedule once, to a new slot within 15 days of the original booking date.- Less than 24 hours' notice: the session is forfeited. No reschedule, no refund.- Used your one reschedule already? The next change, or a miss on the new date, forfeits the session. No second move.To reschedule, use the link in your Calendly confirmation email.If I cancel a stand-alone session
You get a full refund, or a reschedule with priority booking, valid up to 30 days from the original date.RefundsNo refunds, injury or emergency included. When you book a slot, that time is blocked out and no longer offered to anyone else — the cost to me is the same whether you show up, cancel last-minute, or can't make it for any reason. The thing you paid for (a reserved block of my time) was delivered the moment the booking was confirmed.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Subscriptions are the right option once you know you want to train regularly.Instead of booking session-by-session on Calendly, you commit to a fixed number of sessions every month at a lower per-session rate, billed monthly, and book each session directly with me via WhatsApp.
PricingPlan / Sessions per month / Price per session / Billed monthly
4-session / 4 / £49.99 / £199.96
8-session / 8 / £44.99 / £359.92
12-session / 12 / £39.99 / £479.88
Sign-up feeStarting a subscription for the first time comes with a flat £9.99 fee, non-refundable, charged alongside your first month.- If you cancel and come back within a month, the fee isn't charged again.- If you come back after more than a month away, the fee applies again.
Can I use more than one session a week?Yes — there's no cap on how many sessions you book in a given week. It's entirely subject to what I actually have open that week, same as any other booking. Given my available hours are limited, don't assume multiple sessions in one week will always be there — check with me before planning around it
Need more than your plan covers?If you use up your sessions before the month resets, you can book extra sessions as top-ups at £39.99 each.
How booking works- All package sessions are booked directly with me via WhatsApp, not Calendly.-I'll prompt you to book, but keeping sessions booked is your responsibility. Book early — availability is limited.-Once a session's day and time is agreed, it's locked in. It is not automatically movable or refundable — the rules below are the only way to change it.
Rescheduling — 24 hours' notice or moreI'll always make an effort to fit you into another slot, but this is subject to my availability — it isn't guaranteed.Any reschedule has to land within your current billing month; it can't push into the next one.If there's no time left in the month to fit it, the session is forfeited.Rescheduling — less than 24 hours' notice, or no-showThis includes any notice under 24 hours, right down to no notice at all. Normally the session is forfeited — no refund, no make-up.Unless you have a Flex Pass available. Each subscription includes a small number of Flex Passes each month for exactly this situation:Plan / Flex Passes per month
4-session / 1
8-session / 2
12-session / 3If you use a Flex Pass: the session isn't charged against your remaining count and gets moved to another day — but it still has to happen inside your current billing month, same as any other reschedule. If there's no time left in the month, the session is lost.Once your Flex Passes are used up for the month: any further late cancellation or no-show forfeits the session, no exceptions.Flex Passes don't roll over. You get a fresh set at the start of each billing month, whether or not you used the previous month's.I'll always try to help you reschedule and keep you accountable, but ultimately staying on top of your own training and booking is on you.
If I cancel a session
Any session I cancel is rescheduled for free, doesn't touch your Flex Passes, and doesn't count against your monthly session total.Unused sessions at the end of the month
Any sessions not used by the time your billing month ends are forfeited — no refund, no carry-over.This is a firm rule for sessions missed on your end (schedule clashes, life getting in the way, etc.) — I'll always consider genuine one-off situations case by case, but there's no guaranteed carry-over for client-side absences.The only two exceptions are:
- If I'm away (holiday, time off, etc.), any sessions you'd have missed because of that carry over automatically, no need to ask. They just need to be used by the end of the following month, or they're gone the same as any other unused session.- A genuine injury/illness pause (see below).
Cancelling your subscription
You can cancel anytime. Cancelling stops future billing — there's no refund for the current billing period already paid.- If you rejoin within a month of cancelling, no new sign-up fee.
- If you rejoin after more than a month, the £9.99 sign-up fee applies again.
Injury or serious illness
If an injury or illness stops you training, your subscription is paused — billing pauses too, so you're not charged while you're out. You have up to 3 months to recover and come back.
Past that 3-month point, the option to use any remaining sessions from before the pause is gone.This runs on trust — I won't ask for a doctor's note or proof. I'm extending this because I'd want the same thing done for me, not because it's owed.Refunds
No refunds on subscriptions, for the same reason as stand-alone sessions, scaled up: the more clients I take on for regular, ongoing training, the fewer stand-alone slots I have available each week.That trade-off is made the moment you commit to a subscription, regardless of how many of your own sessions you end up using in a given month. The price covers that commitment of my time and availability to you — not each individual session you do or don't book
BOOKING POLICY
Your session is your session. No subletting it to a friend, partner, or anyone else under your name or link.If someone other than the named client shows up, I'll cancel the session. No refund. A personalised session is prepped for you specifically; someone else showing up wastes the prep and isn't fair to either of us.
IF YOU CAN'T FIND A TIME THAT WORKS
My availability is genuinely limited — a few hours a day around other commitments — and slots are first-come, first-served. If nothing fits right now, that's worth knowing before you commit to a package rather than after.If you want to test the waters first without committing to a package, book a stand-alone session via Calendly.
FINAL WORD
By booking a session, you're agreeing to everything above. No hidden terms, nothing that changes depending on who's asking.Questions? Message me directly — happy to clarify anything before you book.
