Personalised HYROX coaching in Cardiff from a HYROX Performance Coach and elite multi-sport champion. Precision training built on rowing mechanics, threshold running, and functional strength.
Richard is a licensed HYROX Performance Coach — recognised by HYROX as qualified to deliver the methodology, intensity and standards demanded by the world series of fitness racing.
That credential matters: the programmes you train on are built around the actual race — eight functional stations, eight kilometres of running, and the pacing, technique, and strategy that connect them.
I'm Richard, a 50-something personal trainer and HYROX Performance Coach based in Cardiff. Back in the day, I was lucky enough to represent Wales and Great Britain in international competition — and I've never really stopped moving since.
These days, as well as chasing medals, I'm chasing longevity — working around the usual aches and niggles that come with age. I know first-hand what it takes to stay strong, injury-free, and motivated as we get older.
With over 20 years of personal training experience, I help people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities discover what they're capable of — whether you're new to fitness or looking for your next challenge.
