One More Rep Strength Coach

About Me

I have been training in gyms for more than 20 years and in that time I’ve made plenty of mistakes. Through my mistakes I have learnt valuable lessons – I aim to help as many people as possible to avoid those common mistakes and get results and in a time efficient manner, without wasting time spinning their wheels or possibly getting injured.

My speciality is weight training for building strength/muscle and improving conditioning for sport, but I have helped many people just wanting to get stronger, look better and feel better in themselves.

I call myself One more rep strength coach because all you need to do to progress in strength is add one rep at a time. 

If you can do just one more rep than you did last time – you’ve made progress, now let’s aim for another one!

Stone lifting is one of my hobbies

My strength training over a sustained period was enough to allow me to lift the famous Dinnie Stones back in 2019 when I had hair. Their combined weight is 332kg

I have since gone on to compete at the Donald Dinnie games which is a strongman competition where every event uses stone.

Personal Training

Personal training is useful for just about everyone regardless of experience level. It helps to have someone else monitoring your training, so you don’t have to think too much about it and you can just focus on getting it done. As well as helping you to push that little bit harder than you might on your own,  for some people it can also be useful to have an appointment made to make sure you’re held accountable and actually get it done.

One More Rep Strength Coach Testimonials

“I’ve been training with Henry three times a week for 18 months and can’t recommend him highly enough. I started weight training because building strength in midlife is crucial, and Henry has been brilliant throughout.

I came to him with a dodgy knee, and he’s been excellent at tailoring exercises to build strength around the injury without making it worse. His knowledge of proper form and technique has been invaluable – it actually became a bit of a lifesaver during my recent house move when I had to shift countless heavy boxes. I knew exactly how to lift properly without wrecking my back, which I definitely wouldn’t have managed before training with him.

I’m gutted to be leaving the area and moving on from our sessions. Whoever gets my slot is very lucky indeed. Henry’s approachable, knowledgeable and is genuinely invested in your progress. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who knows what they’re doing and actually cares about getting you stronger and injury free, Henry’s your man.”

– Katie

“Henry developed, after listening to my ambitions, reviewing my injuries record and assessing my capability, the best training programme I have followed in over thirty years of training. The programme was demanding and enabled a rapid transformation in fitness, stamina, strength and physique. His understanding of excellence in technique, quiet encouragement and the variety of recommended exercises has helped maintain motivation and increase my knowledge of what works well. His approach, expertise and dependability make him a top class coach and PT.”
-Rob

“As someone who has never previously enjoyed the gym but wanted to get fit and lose 30 years of accumulated overindulgence , Henry was the perfect trainer. Every session he gave his full attention to making the hour interesting, informative and effective, as well as setting out a plan for me to get to my next training session. Each exercise  and piece of kit was explained so I felt capable of doing it safely and effectively on my own for maximum effect, and mixed up the weights and cardio to keep it interesting. He even wrote me a “no gym no excuse” plan when I had to go away on business! 

Thanks to having Henry as a PT, I have got the gym bug, have more energy and feel fitter than I have in years and in just 6 months lost 12 kg in weight!  I am more than happy to recommend him as a personal trainer.”

-Ben


“I can’t recommend training with Henry highly enough, probably the best investment I ever made. I would even go as far as to call it life changing. Within a year, Henry helped me easily achieve the goals I struggled to reach for the last 20+ years. 

Henry certainly isn’t your average PT, he’s got this unique positivity to brighten up your day while still pushing you to the limits. Don’t get me wrong, you have to put in the work but if you do as you’re told, you will see results quicker than you could have imagined.

I’m terrible at following instructions, coordination or small talk but Henry still makes me feel like a sociable high achiever. He’s got impeccable manners and is even using the metric system which I personally really appreciate. Henry is always well prepared but also able to adapt his programme or even make up new exercises on the fly, which to me shows the real PT genius. You can tell how passionate he is about his job and enthusiasm is highly infectious. I think everyone should have a Henry!”
