BUILD STRENGTH, CONTROL AND PERFORMANCE WITH FPT SESSIONS.
Welcome to FPT Sessions: Structured Training for Board Sport Athletes
At FPT Sessions, we believe performance in the water, on snow, or on concrete starts with how you train.
FPT Sessions is a structured training system for surfers, skaters, snowboarders and skiers, combining gym-based strength and conditioning with progressive programming and breath development.
Led by Olly Farley, FPT Sessions brings high-performance training into a group environment — helping you build strength, improve control, and perform with confidence under pressure.
Our Approach
At FPT Sessions, we understand what it takes to improve performance, push harder, and stay injury free in board sports. Our training combines the key physical demands of surfing, skating, snowboarding and skiing into a structured system that builds strength, control and endurance.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to perform at a higher level, FPT Sessions is designed to support your progression and help you perform with confidence in your sport.
The FPT 6-Month System
A structured progression designed to build strength, conditioning, breath control, and performance under pressure — all with a clear goal in mind. Your goal.
You’ll train toward something from day one, setting a performance goal, physical target, and personal focus. Along the way, you’ll be guided with weekly focus tasks, simple “homework” to accelerate progress, and ongoing check-ins to keep you on track.
