Is your intake a working model, or a confirmation search?
Most fit intakes are really confirmation-seeking in disguise. We identify where yours is, where it isn't, and tighten the gap.
Mechanism-Based Practice Review
Your methodology, pressure-tested.
You don't need more education. You need sharper reasoning and tighter logic. A selective three-month review for experienced fitters who want their system to withstand scrutiny, edge cases, and the next decade of professional growth.
The frame
This is not corrective coaching. It's structured refinement.
You're already good. The question isn't whether your practice works, it's whether it's defensible. Whether your decisions hold up years later, under scrutiny, on the difficult cases. Whether the logic between intake and intervention is tight enough to explain to a peer, a researcher, or a lawyer.
This review takes an established practice and strips the fuzziness out of it, not by adding more tools, but by sharpening the decisions.
01 · Fit check
Who this is for.
- Fitters already running a functioning, profitable practice.
- Fitters seeing 15+ clients per month in season.
- Fitters who understand biomechanics beyond surface-level cues.
- Fitters who want their reasoning to be tighter, clearer, and more defensible.
- Fitters who feel they're good, but want to be harder to challenge.
It's not for beginners. It's not for passive learners. It's not for fitters looking for generic feedback.
It's for professionals who want their process pressure-tested.
02 · Four pillars
Four pillars. One decision architecture.
We examine your practice across four pillars, not to add noise, but to remove it.
Asymmetry, mechanistically, not narratively.
The difference between "her right hip drops because of her handedness" and "her right hip drops because of a specific mechanical chain we can describe" is the difference between a fitter and a Mechanism-Based fitter.
Sequenced intentionally, not reactively.
One intervention changes the rider, which changes the evidence, which changes the next intervention. Most fitters have the instincts. Few have the sequencing logic to match.
Defensible years later, under scrutiny.
"I moved it because it felt right" isn't a defence. We build the communication patterns, verbal and written, that make your methodology unambiguous.
03 · The arc
The three months.
-
Month 1: Deconstruction.
We map your current system using real cases from your practice. Blind spots and hidden heuristics become visible. You receive a written diagnostic summary at the end of month one outlining your structural strengths, inconsistencies, and the highest-leverage refinements to prioritise.
-
Month 2: Refinement.
You implement structured adjustments in live fits. We tighten reasoning and sequencing in real scenarios, not theoretical ones. Four weekly 75-minute calls hold the cadence; the work happens between them.
-
Month 3: Stress-Test.
We pressure-test the refined system against edge cases. Cases where the logic could bend. Cases where a less-disciplined fitter would fall back on instinct. You leave with a defensible methodology, sharper communication, greater confidence under scrutiny, and a cleaner, more intentional workflow.
04 · What you receive
No ambiguity about what €2,000 buys.
Three months of continuous engagement, with a weekly cadence that keeps momentum across the whole arc. The calls do the structured work; the conversation between them keeps the thinking live.
- Twelve 75-minute structured video calls, weekly, held on Google Meet. Fifteen hours of synchronous one-to-one time across the three months.
- WhatsApp access between calls, for thinking-out-loud, quick patterns, pattern-check photos, and anything you need eyes on before the next scheduled session.
- Ongoing email exchange: case files, longer-form questions, anything that benefits from a written record. 48-hour response window.
- Pre-call case review. I read and annotate your submitted cases before every call.
- A written diagnostic summary at the end of month one, built from your real work.
- Structured submission templates so every case follows the same format, every call starts from the same place.
05 · Capacity
Two fitters per intake. Four intakes per year.
Quarterly cohorts. A maximum of two fitters active in any given cycle, which keeps the work deep and the feedback precise. Eight slots across the year, no more.
Intake schedule
- January · applications open mid-November, close mid-December
- April · applications open mid-February, close mid-March
- July · applications open mid-May, close mid-June
- October · applications open mid-August, close mid-September
Next intake: July 2026. Applications open mid-May, close mid-June. If you're reading this between intakes, applications for the next cycle are still welcome. I review every submission personally, and strong applicants are often invited forward into the following intake.
06 · The application
Five questions. Twenty to thirty minutes.
I read every one personally. No automated responses, no form-letter rejections.
1. How long have you been fitting, and how many clients do you typically see per month in season?
2. Briefly outline your current fitting process, from initial contact through to final recommendations.
3. Describe a recent fit that felt complex or uncertain. What made it challenging, and how did you approach it?
4. What part of your current process do you feel could be sharper or more consistent?
5. Why are you interested in this review at this stage in your development?
Send your application by email to andy@andy-brooke.com. I reply within two weeks.
07 · If accepted
What happens next.
-
Invitation and payment.
You receive an invitation email with the intake details, a payment link (Stripe, €2,000 in full at acceptance), and the pre-cohort briefing.
-
Three cases submitted.
Before month one begins, you submit three recent cases using the structured templates.
-
Month one opens: Deconstruction.
The first call opens the arc.
-
Ninety days later.
You leave with a defensible methodology and a practice that's measurably tighter than when you started.
If not accepted, I'll tell you why, and often recommend the Mentoring programme instead, which is a better fit for fitters still building the foundation the Practice Review assumes.

Five questions. Twenty to thirty minutes. I read each one personally, and I'll tell you within two weeks whether you're in, whether you're waitlisted for the next intake, or whether a different rung of the ladder would serve you better.
