GET THE VAULT - £59

16 weeks of structured programming • 4 complete training plans • Yours forever

You know you need to be stronger for your horse.

Your instructor keeps telling you to:

  • "Sit deeper"

  • "Engage your core"

  • "Stop bouncing"

  • "Keep your shoulders back"

But here's the problem: You can't muscle your way into better riding. And generic fitness advice doesn't translate to the saddle.

You've tried:

  • ❌ YouTube Pilates videos (didn't help your riding)

  • ❌ Random gym sessions (not sure what to focus on)

  • ❌ Hoping more lessons will fix it (but your position stays the same)

  • ❌ Stretching occasionally (inconsistent, no real plan)

The truth? Your position in the saddle depends entirely on what you do OUT of it.

Without functional strength, balance, and body awareness, you're asking your horse to compensate for your weaknesses. And that's not fair to either of you.

Rider-specific training that actually works.

The Vault gives you everything you need to ride stronger, sit taller, and support your horse better—with structured, progressive programming designed specifically for equestrians.

No guessing. No generic workouts. Just proven training from someone who understands both sides:

  • How your body works (PT expertise)

  • How your position affects your horse (saddle fitting experience)

Here’s what you get:

  • PLAN 1: Core Strength Plan

    4 weeks • 12 sessions

    Build the stable seat and strong posture every rider needs.

    You'll develop:

    Deep core stability (not just surface abs)

    Anti-rotation strength (staying centered when your horse moves)

    VALUE: £45

  • PLAN 2: Rider Balance Plan

    You'll develop:

    Equal strength on both sides

    Lateral stability (stop collapsing through one side)

    Better proprioception and body awareness

    Symmetrical aids that your horse can actually understand

    Perfect for: Riders who collapse to one side, twist in the saddle, or have uneven contact

Less than the cost of a single private lesson—but the results last for years

Is The Vault right for you?

This is perfect if you:

✅ Want to improve your riding position without spending hundreds on private lessons
✅ Know you need to be stronger but don't know where to start
✅ Are tired of generic fitness advice that doesn't help your riding
✅ Want structured, progressive programming (not random YouTube videos)
✅ Struggle with bouncing, collapsing, asymmetry, or fatigue in the saddle
✅ Want to support your horse better by improving your own strength and balance
✅ Need rider-specific training from someone who understands both fitness AND horses

This is NOT for you if:

❌ You're looking for a quick fix (real strength takes consistent work)
❌ You want someone to hold your hand through every workout (these are self-guided programs)
❌ You're not willing to train 3-4x per week for 4 weeks
❌ You're looking for riding lessons (this is OFF-horse training that improves your IN-saddle position)

Your Journey to Stronger Riding

STEP 1: Choose Your Starting Plan

Pick the plan that addresses your biggest challenge right now:

  • Weak core/position → Core Strength Plan

  • Asymmetry/collapsing → Rider Balance Plan

  • New to gym training → Gym Confidence Plan

  • Low stamina → Riding Endurance Plan

STEP 2: Follow the Structured Program

Each plan runs for 4 weeks with 3-4 sessions per week:

  • Week 1: Foundation building and movement familiarisation

  • Week 2: Progressive overload and increased challenge

  • Week 3: Peak training with highest intensity

  • Week 4: Consolidation and preparation for next phase

STEP 3: See Results in the Saddle

By week 2-3, you'll notice:

  • Improved stability and less bouncing

  • Better balance and less collapsing

  • Stronger position through entire lessons

  • More control and connection with your horse

Your instructor will probably notice before you mention it.

STEP 4: Progress to Your Next Plan

After completing one plan:

  • Repeat it to build more strength

  • Move to a different plan to address another area

  • Stack multiple plans for comprehensive development

These programs are yours forever. Use them in any order, at any pace, as many times as you need.

What makes this different from Pilates, yoga, or generic gym programs?

✅ RIDER-SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING

Every exercise is chosen because it transfers to the saddle:

  • Dead bugs → Core stability while limbs move (just like riding)

  • Single-leg work → Correcting asymmetry every rider develops

  • Bird dogs → Back strength that keeps you upright without tension

  • Glute bridges → Posterior chain for a stable, deep seat

Not generic fitness. Targeted training for riders.

✅ STRUCTURED PROGRESSION

Unlike random YouTube videos, these plans progressively build strength:

  • Week 1: Learn the movements

  • Week 2: Increase intensity

  • Week 3: Peak challenge

  • Week 4: Consolidate gains

You get stronger week by week, not just repeating the same thing forever.

✅ DESIGNED BY A PT & FORMER SADDLE FITTER

I've seen both sides:

  • How your body works (PT knowledge)

  • How your position affects your horse (saddle fitting experience)

Most trainers understand fitness. I understand how fitness translates to riding.

Trained by someone who gets it.

Hi, I'm Rhiannon Cooper.

I'm a certified Personal Trainer, and I spent years as a professional saddle fitter before that.

Here's what I learned fitting hundreds of saddles:

The number one issue wasn't the saddle—it was the rider's position.

I'd see riders blaming their equipment for problems that were actually their:

  • Weak core (causing them to collapse and tilt the saddle)

  • Tight hips (preventing them from following the horse's movement)

  • Asymmetrical strength (collapsing through one side)

  • Poor balance (gripping with their knees instead of sitting deep)

No saddle can fix a weak position. But training your body CAN.

That's why I became a PT specialising in rider fitness. I wanted to help riders fix the root cause—so they could ride better AND their horses could move better.

The Vault is everything I wish existed when I was struggling with my own riding position.

What riders are saying:

"I finally understand what my instructor means when she says 'engage your core.' After working through the Core Strength Plan, I could actually FEEL the difference in my seat. My horse is moving better too—my trainer noticed before I even said anything!"

— Sarah, dressage rider

"I've always collapsed through my left side in the saddle. Rhiannon's Balance Plan specifically targeted that asymmetry, and within 3 weeks my instructor commented on how much straighter I was sitting. Game-changer."

— Emma, eventing

"As a former saddle fitter, Rhiannon sees things other trainers miss. She explained how my weak core was making my saddle shift, which was affecting my horse's back. The exercises fixed MY position, which fixed the saddle issue. Absolute game-changer."

— Kate, happy hacker

What riders typically spend to improve their position:

Solution Cost Result
Private lessons (6 sessions) £210 Helpful, but doesn't address underlying strength issues
Saddle fitting consultation £60-120 Important, but can't fix weak position
Pilates classes (8 weeks) £80-160 Generic core work that doesn't target rider-specific needs
Generic gym program £30-50 Builds general fitness but doesn't transfer to saddle
✅ The Vault £59 Rider-specific programming that actually improves position

16 weeks of structured training for less than one saddle fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this suitable for beginners?

A: Yes! Each plan includes modifications for different fitness levels. If you completed the free 2-week Rider Core Guide, you're ready for The Vault. The Gym Confidence Plan is specifically designed for riders new to gym training.

Q: What equipment do I need?

A: It varies by plan:

  • Core Strength Plan: Mat, resistance bands (optional)

  • Rider Balance Plan: Dumbbells or resistance bands (optional)

  • Gym Confidence Plan: Access to standard gym equipment

  • Riding Endurance Plan: Cardio equipment (treadmill, bike, rower) or outdoor space for running/walking

Alternatives are provided for home training where possible.

Q: Which plan should I start with?

A: Choose based on your biggest challenge:

  • Struggle with bouncing or maintaining position → Core Strength Plan

  • Collapse to one side or twist in the saddle → Rider Balance Plan

  • New to gym training or rebuilding confidence → Gym Confidence Plan

  • Get tired during lessons or want to compete → Riding Endurance Plan

You can complete them in any order and repeat as needed.

Q: How long until I see results in my riding?

A: Most riders notice improved stability by week 2-3, with visible position changes by week 4-6. Your instructor will likely notice before you do. Remember: strength builds progressively, so consistency matters more than perfection.

Q: Can I do multiple plans at once?

A: We recommend completing one plan fully before starting another to avoid overtraining. However, you can combine the Flexibility Guide with any of the training plans. After completing one 4-week plan, you can immediately start another.

Q: What if I miss a session?

A: Life happens! Just pick up where you left off. The plans are flexible—if you need to do 2 sessions one week and 4 the next, that's fine. Consistency over time matters more than perfection week to week.

Q: Do I need to be currently riding to benefit from this?

A: While the programs are designed for riders, they'll benefit you even if you're not currently riding (due to injury, time off, horse being lame, winter break, etc.). You'll be stronger when you get back in the saddle.

Q: Is there a refund policy?

A: Due to the digital nature of this product (you get instant access to all files), all sales are final. However, I stand behind the quality of these programs. If you have any concerns, email me at rhiannon@notsotypicalfitness.co.uk and I'll help you get the most out of your purchase.

Q: I'm not in great shape. Will this be too hard?

A: Each plan includes modifications to match your current fitness level. Start with easier variations and progress as you build strength. The goal is gradual improvement, not perfection from day one.

Q: Can I use these if I have an injury?

A: The programs include general safety guidelines, but they're not a substitute for medical advice. If you have an existing injury or health condition, please consult your doctor or physio before starting. Once cleared, you can modify exercises to work around limitations.

Q: How is this different from the free 2-week guide?

A: The free guide is a 2-week introduction to rider core training. The Vault gives you:

  • 16 weeks of programming (vs. 2 weeks)

  • 4 specialised plans targeting different aspects of rider fitness

  • Progressive overload (you get stronger week by week)

  • More exercise variety and advanced progressions

  • The Flexibility Guide bonus

Think of the free guide as the appetizer. The Vault is the full meal.

Q: Will this work for dressage/eventing/showing/hacking?

A: Yes! The programs develop fundamental rider fitness that benefits all disciplines. Stronger core, better balance, and improved stamina help regardless of what style you ride.

Q: Can I print the programs?

A: Absolutely! The PDFs are designed to be printable. Many riders print them to bring to the gym or keep a training log.

You're one decision away from riding stronger.

Every day you wait is another day of:

  • Struggling with position issues that frustrate you
