Mammoth Progress
Be Better
What We Do
Mammoth Progress is conditioning for anyone in or near Cascais, Portugal, in other locations in Portugal or abroad (upon request) or who wants online training or performance support. We offer one to one and group sessions. Designed for those who want to move, feel, and perform better — whether you're an outdoor athlete chasing performance gains or simply looking to build strength, mobility, and confidence in your body.We specialise in training for the demands of outdoor activities and sport — surfing, kitesurfing, SUP, trail running, cycling, and golf — because wind, uneven ground, shifting balance, and hours on your feet ask more of your body than a standard gym session accounts for. But you don't need to be a competitive athlete to benefit from that approach. If you want to get stronger, move better, and build a body that holds up outdoors — whatever that means for you — we can help.How it worksSport-specific conditioning — Programmes tailored to the physical demands of your sport or activity from rotational power for golf to paddle endurance for surf and SUP.
General strength & mobility — Foundational training for anyone looking to build strength, improve movement quality, and feel better in day-to-day life.
Injury prevention — Build the strength and mobility that keeps you active and out of pain, whether that's on a surfboard or just getting through your week.
All-conditions training — Sessions designed to run rain or shine outdoor and indoor, with flexible formats that adapt to Cascais's weather without cancelling your progress.
Partnerships — We work directly with surf schools, golf clubs, and outdoor sport communities across Cascais to bring conditioning to where people already train.
Whatever you're working toward, we help you perform better.
Pathway
The Athlete ExperienceImagine being treated the way professional athletes are — with an entire support team built around you, not just a single training plan.At Mammoth Progress, we go beyond conventional personal training (though of course, if that's all you're looking for, that works too). We design complete programmes built around you, drawing on sport- and activity-specific strength conditioning, prehab and rehab/physiotherapy, nutrition, and sports psychology — disciplines our own coaches have used to support competitive athletes and military personnel, now made accessible to everyone.You choose which elements are most relevant to you, and can benefit from any or all of them. Unlike working with separate, disconnected specialists, our experts talk to each other about your plan — so every part of your programme works together, not in isolation.Every plan is guided by your pathway: your goals, informed by your background and individual characteristics. No two pathways look the same, because no two people are the same.To make this work seamlessly, we partner with clubs, sports schools and training providers, and gyms across the area — so you can access the full support of your team at a location that suits you.
