Hi, I'm Henry
Whatever shape you are in right now, I've been there. I was a fat lad who genuinely did not believe losing weight was possible, so I went the other way and near enough starved myself to make myself feel like I fit in, even hitting under a thousand calories a day some days, until I was stick thin with nothing to show for it.
Then I found the gym. I dedicated hours upon hours into studying eating habits and training systems. I then found calisthenics and it clicked even more, I loved training, it was my entire life. Unfortunately I got tendonitis (the first time), and found out what that does to your head as much as your elbows. Since then I've dealt with separate tendonitis injuries in my wrist and finger after becoming obsessed with tennis at one time, and after my 1000 pull up challenge. I've been at the very start, I've been stuck halfway with no idea what I was doing wrong, I've been set back multiple times with injuries I had to learn to rehab by myself. That is why I do not hand everybody the same plan. I have a genuine, deep understanding of how to train while listening to your body, and I build systems around that to keep you making progress whatever the weather.
I am a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer from Huddersfield and I train clients at The Unit Fitness in Halifax, Thursday to Saturday. Calisthenics is what I love and what I am known for, but it is nowhere near the limit of what I coach. Total beginners all the way to more advanced athletes are welcome. Muscle, strength, fat loss, flexibility, or all of it at once. If you have never set foot in a gym, that is the best possible place to start from, because everything works and there is nothing to undo first.
Last year I did 1,000 pull ups in a day and raised £3,000 for Kirkwood Hospice. I can front lever, muscle up and handstand push up, and I'm nowhere near done with my journey.
I built the You Matter More platform myself, so everything we do together is logged and yours to keep. You Matter More is not a slogan I just thought sounded nice. It's the thing I told myself for a long time so I made sure I prioritised myself and my interests, and stopped bending over backwards to please others who didn't care about me.
To celebrate the official launch of You Matter More
My platform is opening its doors for the first time, and my first 5 coaching clients get a launch price and keep it for as long as they stay.
It's a real cap, not just a countdown timer that resets when you reload the page. I am solely taking on 5 founding clients, because that is what I can fully devote my current time into coaching effectively.
Who this is actually for
Coaching only works when both people are pulling. I would rather turn you down than take your money and watch it go nowhere.
This is for you if
- You want to get genuinely strong, build muscle, and learn some cool skills along the way
- You are a beginner and want to find your feet with training
- You have been training a while but feel stuck or plateaued
- You will log your sessions and keep me in the loop
- You would rather be told the truth than told what you want to hear
- You communicate in the way that works best for you, no unnecessary scheduled calls
This is not for you if
- You want abs in a few weeks
- You are competing in bodybuilding or powerlifting - that is somebody else's speciality
- You want a meal plan that tells you exactly what to eat every day forever - we don't do rigidity
- You will not check in, and would rather nobody asked - I can only help those who are willing
- You want the cheapest coaching you can find - I provide value for money, not a half-arsed programme I give to everyone else
What you actually get
All of it runs through the platform, so your programme, your logging and my feedback all live in the same place instead of being scattered across WhatsApp and a spreadsheet.
A programme built for you
Written around your goals, your equipment and how many days you can genuinely train. I go through it every week and adjust what needs adjusting, so it keeps up with you instead of being rewritten every twelve weeks because the calendar says so.
24/7 access to me
Message me any time about anything. A set that felt wrong, a meal out you are worried about, a week you are dreading. You are never waiting for a scheduled slot, and there are no calls unless you actually want one.
Feedback on every session
You log it, I read it. Every set, every note. If something looks off you will hear from me before your next session, not at the end of the month.
Form checks on video
Film a set and attach it to that exact set, inside that exact session. Not a clip lost in a message thread with no idea which workout or what weight it was. I see the video, the reps, the load and your note on it together, and I answer on the set itself. Technique is what makes a movement work, and you cannot judge it from a rep count.
Nutrition that fits your life
Targets and guidance, not a rigid meal plan you will abandon by Thursday. Full recipe library and meal planner included.
Everything in Premium
Unlimited history, the full recipe library, the meal planner and the barcode scanner. The whole platform, on top of the coaching.
How it works
Health questions and the waiver
The same screening every gym in the country asks for, plus the waiver, on one page. Takes a couple of minutes and nobody has to approve anything. If something does need looking at first, you will be told before a penny is taken.
Set a password, then pay
Your name and email are already in from the waiver, so it is one box and you are set up. Then straight through to payment.
Tell me everything
What you want to train, which days you can actually do, what kit you have, what is niggling, what you have already tried, and how you want me to reach you. The more you give me here, the better the programme.
Your programme lands
Built for you and loaded straight into your account, within a week of that form being in. Every session, every set, every target, ready to log on your phone at the gym.
You train, I adjust
You log your sessions. I read them and leave feedback. You message me whenever something needs saying rather than holding it in. I change the programme when your body says it is time, not when a template says it is.
It compounds
Month on month, your history builds up and the coaching gets sharper because I know more about how you respond. That is why this is monthly and not a twelve week block.
Five places. Then it goes up.
This is not a fake countdown that resets when you reload the page. It is a real cap. Five is the number I can give proper attention to, and proper attention is the entire point of paying for a coach.
- Your price never goes up, even when everyone else pays £189.99
- More of my time than later clients will get, because there are fewer of you
- A say in what gets built next on the platform
What I ask in return. Tell me honestly when something is not working, and let me use your results once you have got some. That is the trade. No obligation to be in a photo if you would rather not.
Rolling monthly, cancel any time, no notice period. Locked at this price for as long as you stay with me. 4 of 5 places remaining.
The standard price once the founding places are gone. Same coaching, same platform, same everything.
People I coach in person
Online coaching is new, so I have no online results to show you yet and I am not going to invent any. What I can show you is what the people I coach face to face say, because the coaching is the same either way.
I’d wanted to learn some calisthenics for a while, particularly a muscle-up, but I was apprehensive about joining the Saturday classes at first. I’ve made more progress than I expected. Henry breaks the movements down into manageable steps, so they feel achievable while still pushing you to improve. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience, he creates a really supportive environment and knows how to help you progress.
I got my first strict pull-up at the grand old age of 57, with Henry’s support and brilliant advice. He explains things clearly, he’s encouraging and very patient, and he can train all ages, shapes and sizes.
Both came through the feedback form and are quoted with permission. When my first online clients have something to say, theirs will go up here too.
The obvious questions
What if I'm a complete beginner?
Then you are exactly who I want. Beginners are the easiest people to coach because everything works and there is nothing to undo first. You will not be thrown in at the deep end, you will not be given something you cannot do, and you will not be made to feel daft for asking anything.
Do I need a gym?
No. I will coach you in a gym with every machine going, or in an empty room with a floor and nothing else, or anywhere in between. You tell me what you have got access to in your form and the programme is built around that, not around what I wish you had.
Do I have to do calisthenics?
No. It is what I love and what I am known for, but it is not the limit of what I coach. Muscle, strength, fat loss, flexibility, or all of it at once. If you want to squat and deadlift as well, we will. If you never want to touch a pull up bar, that is fine too.
How much contact do I actually get?
As much as you want. Message me any time, about anything, and you are never waiting for a scheduled slot. I will be straight with you about what 24/7 means: I do sleep, so a message at two in the morning gets answered in the morning. What it will never be is days of silence. If you would rather talk than type we can have a call whenever you want one, and I am not going to force one on you every week if you would hate it.
What actually happens when I click buy?
Health questions and the waiver first, on one page, before any money. Then you pick a password and pay. Then you fill in the form that tells me everything I need to build your programme, and you get it within a week of that landing with me. If you would rather do the form the next morning than the same night, that is fine, the week just starts when it reaches me.
What if the health questions flag something?
Then you are not charged, and you are told exactly what you need before we can start, which is usually a short note from your GP. It is the same screening every gym in the country does. It is not there to catch you out, it is there so I am not writing you a programme that is wrong for you.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from your membership page, in about three taps. No notice period, no phone call, no talking you out of it. You keep access until the month you have paid for runs out. And if I do not think I am the right coach for you, I will say so and refund you in full rather than take your money anyway.
Is this different from the £9.99 Premium membership?
Completely. Premium gives you the platform: workout logging, food tracking, the recipe library and the meal planner, all in one place. Coaching gives you me, on top of all of that. A programme built for you, adjusted every week, and someone reading every session you log.
What if the founding places have gone?
Then it is £189.99 a month, which is what it is worth and what everybody after the first 5 pays. Same coaching, same platform, same everything. The only thing the founding places buy you is the lower price, locked for as long as you stay.
Five places. Not open yet.
Coaching opens shortly. Leave your email and you get first refusal on a founding place, before anyone else sees them.
