"As a competitive tennis player, the physical demands of the sport are very high and through Harrison’s coaching I have been able to massively improve my performance and durability. Harrison is a very technical coach and knows how to train very specifically for the demands of my sport. Every session is uniquely and specifically designed to improve a certain area of my game. Since working with him I have managed to become the no1 U16 player in the UK, won my first international U18 tournament and am current ranked within the top 300 U18s globally and climbing.
Harrison’s training has helped me to always be more physical and powerful than my opponents even in U18 and able to outwork and outlast them. From what I’ve seen from other players programmers, his is much more technical and trains me more specifically to the demands of tennis. He has also given me lots of advice on other aspects such as health, nutrition and general well-being so I keep improving even when I’m off the court. Harrison is very adaptable to people’s fitness demands and would be able to help any athlete in any sport to become their best."

"Being a pro golfer it is crucial for me to be able to be strong, powerful and mobile. Harrison came highly recommended and it was immediately clear that he knew what he was talking about and had a good level of experience. I’d previously had a knee operation which has severely impacted my technique and stability so working with someone who could programme around with that was vital for me. I am now back now striking the ball better than I have for the last 2 years and am moving better than I did even before the operation.
​
Harrison is a great coach and a very good communicator, being able to convey exactly what’s needed in a simple and easy to understand way which is a very special talent. If you are a sports person or looking for a coach to excel in your sport, I can’t recommend Harrison enough."

"What makes Harrison unique is how well he can spot issues in my movement and body. Anyone can train a healthy body, but it takes real expertise and knowledge to help someone that was in my situation. I love skiing and after a surgery on my knee left me without any stability or strength in my leg, I thought my skiing days were behind me. Harrison came highly recommended but even then, I wasn’t sure how much could be done.
​
We worked to first strengthening and rebuild the balance and control in my leg before setting out to help the rest of my body which had picked up injuries and compensations due to my leg. I was also working with his brother who is a soft tissue therapist between sessions to massage any overly tight muscles.
I have been training with Harrison for years now and am happy to say I am back on the slopes skiing better and then ever. I don’t even think about my knee anymore and can ski completely fearlessly. I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for me. You and your brother are my dream team!!"

"Despite having a very athletic background, going to the gym has never really something I found I particularly enjoyed or could find a lot of motivation for. After multiple injuries and surgery, my movement, mobility and general strength had taken a hit so when I started with Harrison I knew he had his work cut out! Harrison is very goal orientated and combined with his very high knowledge (both exercise and nutrition), teaching skill and easy-going coaching style, I managed to find my groove getting into the gym and building up my strength.
​
Harrison always keeps thing fun for my workouts and is very supportive and motivational which has really helped in my transition into shifting my training focus to improve my golf. Since training together, I now feel parts of my body moving I never realised, I am injury free and my golf coach is amazed with how well I am progressing as a result! I couldn’t recommend Harrison more highly to anyone looking to improve their fitness, especially if you are training for a sport."

"Harrison’s guidance and expertise over the last 12 months training together have been invaluable. Being a popular and busy coach I had reservations as to if I would be treated as ‘one of the many’ but I really feel that Harrison takes a deep interest in my training and is always responsive, motivational and pushes me to be the best I can be. Sometimes my diary can get busy and workouts are hard to do but the thought of letting him down by skipping training speaks volumes to how much of a supportive and passionate coach he is.
​
As I’m getting older its important to maintain as much muscle mass as possible and since working together, I have noticed a big change particularly in my upper body and overall size of my physique. If you want someone to give you focus, discipline and a healthy routine built around your life and goals, there isn’t a better coach out there!"

"I love skiing so when my knees got to the point where they I was experiencing near constant pain I was devastated and knew I needed help to get them stronger. I had never worked with anyone before Harrison but he supportive and was quick to assure me that he would be able to create a programme for me that would not put too much pressure on my knees and make them worse. I’m happy to say that I am now pain free and back skiing again with confidence, something I thought I’d never do. Thank you, Harrison, for everything you have done for me and my poor old knees!"
- Susan F
"I had never worked with a trainer before Harrison but he came recommended with very high praise. I felt I needed a coach as at the time I wasn’t as athletic on the tennis court as I wanted to be and had been suffering with repeat injuries which would always set me back. I had always trained by myself but felt that there might be areas of my body that I might be neglecting.
When we first sat down together, he took the time to dive deep into exactly the demands of tennis, my habits that what we could do to prevent any further injury. Since we have started, I have had a complete overhaul on my training focus. I now train with a very strong emphasis on mobility and stability training particularly for my hips, ankles, and core.
I feel so much more explosive on court and fingers crossed none of the old injuries have come back. Can’t wait to gain more ground over the next year!"

"My job requires me to spend a lot of hours sitting and hunched over a laptop so when I first came to Harrison I was suffering very badly with a shoulder injury and my posture was far from ideal. My hectic work schedule meant that I ended up in a routine that wasn’t balanced and I was missing out on a lot of key muscles groups that were making things worse. Harrison has since then put a lot of focus on all the posterior muscles I was missing which helps to counteract all the time I spend sat down. My shoulder pain has almost completely gone, and I can feel myself standing straighter. I really enjoy the variety Harrison brings to each programme all whilst keeping it rooted solidly to my goals."

"I came to Harrison back in 2015 as my course of physiotherapy on my back was coming to an end. At the time I was recovering from a prolapsed disc and my recovery time had severely impacted my fitness. From the start Harrison was enthusiastic and supportive in encouraging me to try progressively more challenging exercises. We put a lot of focus into strengthening my core and my back and improving my mobility as I had become very tight in my hips.
Over time my back became a lot stronger, and I grew more confident in my body again. I have been training with Harrison for many years now pain free and wouldn’t train with anyone else. I am fitter than I have ever been and it feels amazing to be back doing bootcamps, horse riding and even running! Thank you!"
- Sarah L
"I’d like to say a huge thank you for all the work we have done together. You have given me a lot more confidence and stretched me without pushing me too hard. I was amazed at the progress I made. Your knowledge, enthusiasm and upbeat approach really kept me going and motivated. Even going through a stressful time in my life, your guidance kept me accountable, and I don’t think I would have been able to keep up the good habits we have built without it. Thank you for helping get the best out of me!"
- Judith B
"Before I started training with Harrison, I was struggling with a weak core / glutes and was suffering badly with near constant back and neck pain. This made me feel trapped as I knew I needed to get stronger but was worried weight training would aggravate them and cause things to get worse. Harrison really took the time to understand my needs and created a tailored programme for me that would ensure I not only built strength in the right places, but also fixed the postural issues I had that were causing my pain.
​
The thing that makes Harrison a great coach it that he really takes the time to listen to what YOU need rather than what works with other people. I can happily say I am now back running and swimming completely pain-free and can deadlift my own bodyweight! If you are motivated to get results Harrison will get you there."

"I was struggling following an achilles operation. My walking was very unbalanced and despite training hard in the gym I didn’t feel like I was making much progress. From the start Harrison displayed a deep level of understanding of mobility, what was causing my problems and introduced me to functional training which puts a lot more focus on getting the body to move better to the demands of my life.
​
Most of the exercises were brand new to me but with his clear coaching style and emphasis on technique I managed to get the hang of them quickly. My functional movement has improved significantly, and we have been able to ramp things up and transition to heavy strength training. Regardless of your ability or knowledge, Harrison will definitely be able to help you."
- Neal T
"Since working with Harrison, my confidence and strength have improved immeasurably. I always found the gym and fitness in general to be intimidating but Harrison is very easy to talk to and get along with. He has guided me to completely change how I think about training. He always keeps the sessions fun and interesting and I’m now in the best shape of my life!! If you are after a great trainer, look no further!"
- Jamie J
"After recovering from surgery, I was looking for a trainer to help me improve my posture and mobility. At my age it’s very important for me to be able to keep fit and healthy. Being older I was a little hesitant to start training as I didn’t want to injure myself, but with Harrisons guided approach and supervision, I never feel like I’m doing something that is too far beyond my ability. Harrison is a great trainer, especially with geriatrics!"
- Chris P
"When I first started training with Harrison I was suffering badly with back pain and was very stiff all over. He came highly recommended, and he has been amazing in helping me strengthen my body so I can move around with more confidence knowing I’m not going to injure myself!
His targeted approach to exercise and the corrective exercises he has given me have almost completely fixed my back and I can go for long periods now without noticing anything! If you have any aches and pains like I had, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else."

I first started training with Harrison to help prepare for the London Marathon in 2019. It was my first marathon and I was really nervous about taking on the distance. I was looking for help with strength and conditioning to complement the running / cardio I was already doing and being a mum of 2, l needed a way to be able to fit everything and to work around my hectic schedule. I had been recommended Harrison by a few people so knew he would have a good understanding of how to get me stronger but without compromising my marathon training.
​
It’s been really important to work on strength and conditioning as this has helped me stay injury-free especially when I’m doing a huge amount of miles in a marathon training block. The running-specific exercises have really helped to add to my speed, and I have learnt so much about nutrition and fuelling myself over long distances which has aided endurance. Working a lot on mobility and balance has been a game-changer and enabled me to achieve personal best times over all distances over the past couple of years. Harrison really comes across as both particularly attentive to detail and technique on the strength work compared to other trainers I have used in the past, and really knowledgeable about training and performance-development. He is always flexible and really puts the time in to tailor each session to what I need that week, for example if I had an event coming up on the weekend, if I have had any niggles or minor injuries or have less time due to home commitments.
​
Since working together these last few years I have go on to run 5 marathons in total and even hit my dream of qualifying for the Boston this year. I can say enough good things about his coaching and would 100% recommend Harrison to anyone working towards a sporting goal or wanting maximising their performance.
