Personal Trainer for Huddersfield

I'm Henry, a Level 3 qualified personal trainer and I live in Huddersfield. My one-to-one sessions run from The Unit Fitness in Halifax, which is a straightforward run over from most of Huddersfield and well worth the trip for the right coaching.

Huddersfield based, Halifax gym

Huddersfield is home for me. I grew up around here and I still live locally, so I know the area and I know what training options look like around town.

My sessions themselves run from The Unit Fitness in Halifax, which for most of Huddersfield is roughly twenty to thirty minutes by car depending on where you set off from. If you are coming from the Lindley or Salendine Nook side you are looking at the shorter end of that.

It is a fair question whether that trip is worth it when there are gyms on your doorstep. My honest answer: if you want general gym instruction, probably not, and you should train somewhere convenient. If you specifically want calisthenics and bodyweight skill coaching, that is a lot harder to find locally, and that is where I think the drive pays off.

Calisthenics coaching specifically

Most personal training is built around machines, free weights and general conditioning. My focus is different. I coach calisthenics and functional bodyweight strength, which means using your own body as the resistance and building toward genuine skill.

Your first proper pull-up, and everything that leads to it
Muscle-ups, handstands, front levers and the progressions underneath them
Strength that carries over into ordinary life, not just the gym
Building muscle without living on a machine circuit

This is a genuine specialism rather than something I list alongside twenty others. It is what I train myself and it is what I am best at coaching.

Starting from nothing

Calisthenics has a reputation for being advanced, and photos of people doing planches on Instagram do not help. In practice it is one of the most beginner-friendly ways to train, because the progressions are gradual and you need almost no equipment.

If you cannot do a single pull-up right now, that is a completely normal place to start and there is a clear path from there. I would rather work with someone honest about being at the beginning than someone pretending otherwise.

How the coaching works

Sessions are one-to-one, so the whole hour is yours. We work to a plan built around your goals rather than a template, and the plan changes as you do.

Alongside the in-person work you get access to the You Matter More platform for logging your training between sessions, so nothing gets lost between one week and the next. More about the platform here.

Prices

Start here, costs you nothing

Your first session and chat are free

No charge and no catch, while I have space in the diary

Training with me is monthly rather than blocks of sessions, paid by standing order and set up when we meet. It is rolling, so you can stop whenever you want. Every package includes full access to the You Matter More app, workouts for the days you train on your own, and your calorie and macro targets set for you.

Training	Price	What you get
Once a week	£160/mo	One session a week
Twice a week	£300/mo	Two a week, plus a monthly review
Three times a week	£430/mo	Three a week, plus priority WhatsApp
As a pair (2-to-1)	from £120/mo	Each, once a week
One-off session	£40	No commitment

If you are not a member of The Unit Fitness, there is a £5 gym entry fee per session paid directly to the gym (a half-price day pass). If you train regularly it may work out cheaper to join as a member. I'll go through all of this with you when we chat.

Huddersfield is home for me, but the sessions run in Halifax. From Lindley or Salendine Nook you are looking at about twenty minutes, and nearer thirty from the Almondbury and Kirkheaton side.

Miss a session and you can carry one into the next month. Going away? Tell me a fortnight ahead and I'll pause your month. The full terms are in the terms of service.

Questions from Huddersfield

You live in Huddersfield, so why train people in Halifax?

Because The Unit Fitness has the kit I actually need. Rings, bars, space to work skills. I would rather ask you for twenty minutes in the car than coach you somewhere I cannot properly do the job.

Is calisthenics not a bit advanced for someone like me?

It looks that way because of what gets posted online. In reality it is one of the most beginner friendly ways to train, because the progressions are small and you need barely any equipment. If you cannot do a single pull-up today, that is a completely normal starting point and there is a clear route from there.

What if I just want to lose weight and get fitter, not do skills?

Then that is what we do. The skills are there if you want them, not compulsory. Plenty of people come to me wanting to feel better in their clothes and be less out of breath, and that is a perfectly good goal.

How do I know you are any good?

I am Level 3 qualified through OriGym and fully insured, which is the baseline. Beyond that, in April 2026 I did 1,000 pull-ups in under five hours and raised over £3,000 for Kirkwood Hospice. I am not asking you to do anything I have not done myself.
