session around your body and your goals - whether you've never been in a gym before,
or you're wanting to take your training to the next level. No generic programmes, no
being just a number on a timetable, no rushed sessions. I'm here to help YOU.

Who you would be training with
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.
Honestly
Who I'm good for
I would rather tell you now that I am the wrong trainer for you than
take your money and have us both find out in week three.
Come and train with me if
You want to get genuinely strong, build muscle, and learn some cool skills along the way
You are a complete beginner and want someone patient and understanding
You are nervous about gyms and would rather not work it out on your own
You have been going for a while and feel lost
You want guidance on how to make the gym and your lifestyle fit together
You would rather be told the truth than told what you want to hear
I'm not your man if
You want abs in a few weeks
You are competing in bodybuilding or powerlifting - that is somebody else's speciality
You will half-arse sessions, and would rather nobody pulled you up on your mistakes - I can only help those who are willing
You want the cheapest PT you can find - I provide value for money, not a standardised routine you get from AI
The sessions
What an hour with me actually looks like
Built around you and your life
Built specifically around you, your goals, and your life. I know what exercises
are the difference makers in what YOU want to progress with, so as much detail as
you can possibly give on your goals will help us both a ton.
Logged for you, as you go
No need for you to worry about getting your phone out to log your sessions. I log
them from my device, every session as we do it, and every single set gets saved
directly to your account and your workout history, meaning you can access it at any
time.
Form first, always
Exercise rewards good form and punishes bad technique. We spend the time getting
it right, because that is the difference between exceptional progress and a
plateau.
The platform included
Everything my future Premium tier will provide is yours: unlimited workout and
meal history, a recipe library with 70+ high protein meal preps, and more. It is
yours while you train with me.
Every price, on the page
The full price list
All of it, no asking required. Training with me is monthly now rather
than blocks of sessions, so you get a slot that is yours, the app that goes with it, and
nothing sat on a shelf waiting to be used up.

Training as a pair means the two of you
share the session with me, and you each pay your own half. If one of you stops, the
other carries on at the 1-to-1 price, or brings somebody else along.
You pay monthly by standing order, which we set up together when we meet. It is rolling,
so you can stop whenever you like. If you have to miss a session, give me 24 hours and I
will find you another slot that month, or carry one into the next. Going away? Tell me a
fortnight ahead and I will pause your month. One-off sessions are paid by bank transfer
beforehand. If you are not a member of The Unit there is a £5 gym entry per session,
a half price day pass, paid to them rather than me. No joining fee and no contract.
No. If you are not a member you pay £5 gym entry per session, which is a
half price day pass, and that goes to The Unit rather than to me. If you already
train there, there is nothing extra.
I have never really trained. Is that a problem?
The opposite. Beginners are my favourite people to coach because everything
works and nothing has to be undone first. You will not be thrown in at the deep end
and you will not be made to feel daft.
Do I have to do calisthenics?
No. It is what I specialise in and what I will lean on, but plenty of it is just
good strength training. If you want to squat and deadlift as well, we will.
When are you available?
Thursday, Friday and Saturday at The Unit Fitness in Halifax. Tell me the times
that suit you on the application and I will be straight about whether I can cover
them.
What if I miss a session?
Give me 24 hours and we will find you another slot that month wherever I can. If
we genuinely cannot fit it in, I will carry one session into the next month. Going
away? Tell me a fortnight ahead and I will pause your month. The only one I cannot
get back is a session nobody turned up for.
I will never chase you for a session you have paid for.
That is the whole reason I stopped selling blocks.
Am I tied in?
No. It is month to month. Cancel the standing order and let me know, and that is
it. There is no minimum term and nothing to sign.
How do I pay?
A standing order from your bank, monthly. We set it up together when we meet, so
there is nothing to fill in online and no card kept on file. It is rolling: if you
want to stop, you cancel it and tell me. No joining fee, no contract, no exit fee.
One-off sessions are just a bank transfer before the
session.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, and it costs both of you less. The prices are above. You each pay your own
way rather than one of you covering both, so if life gets in the way for one of you,
the other just carries on.
What they say
People I actually train
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.
Matt ThorntonSaturday calisthenics class, The Unit
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.
