Aaron and Bianca Cook
Their story

From world-class sport to personal coaching.

Aaron and Bianca Cook spent more than two decades at the highest level of sport. Now, they bring that experience to ONE, helping people at every level move, feel and perform better.

Elite sport teaches you one thing above all: there is no single definition of progress.

For one person, it is feeling stronger. For another, moving better. For someone else, performing at the highest level. ONE begins with what progress means to you.

Two roads, the same discipline, and one address.

Arenas, cameras, national kit. Every session measured against the next opponent.

Why Riyadh

They came for the sport. They stayed for the city.

Aaron competed at the Saudi Games in Riyadh in 2023. What they found was a city rebuilding itself at speed, and a lot of people who wanted to train properly but had nowhere sensible to do it.

So they stopped competing and started coaching. Not in a gym with a hundred members, but privately, in people's own spaces, a small number of clients at a time.

Questions

What people ask about Aaron and Bianca.

Do Aaron and Bianca coach every session themselves?
Yes. This is not an agency that sends whoever is available. They coach personally, which is why the client list is deliberately short.
Do I need to be an athlete to train with them?
No. Most of the people they coach have not trained seriously in years, and several never have. Two decades at the top of world sport is what shapes the method, not the standard expected of you.
Are they still competing?
No. Aaron moved into coaching and was Head Taekwondo Coach at Mahd Sports Academy in Riyadh from 2022. Their competitive careers are behind them and coaching is the work now.
Where are they based?
Riyadh. In-home private coaching is across the city, and one to one online coaching is available anywhere in the world.
What does an Olympic background actually change about the coaching?
Patience, precision and perspective. Programmes are built in blocks and judged over months, technique is corrected by someone who spent twenty years being corrected, and they know you do not need to train at the limit to get results.
What carries over

What two decades of competing actually teaches you.

Patience

Nobody peaks in six weeks. Programmes are built in blocks and judged over months, which is why they hold.

Precision

A coach who spent twenty years being corrected knows exactly what to look for, and what to leave alone.

Perspective

They have trained at the limit, so they know you don't need to. Hard enough to work, sustainable enough to keep.
