The approach
Technical coaching, real relationships
Form first, always
Highly technical coaching that prioritises good form, corrects movement clearly and keeps you progressing without picking up injuries.
Built around your life
Richard takes time to learn your lifestyle and goals, then tailors the programme around what actually works for you, week by week.
You learn the "why"
He explains the reason behind what he programs, so you understand your training and can keep making progress for the long term.
In it for the long haul
Clients stay with Richard for years, not weeks, because he cares about both your physical and mental progress and is easy to reach.
"Rich doesn't just hand out a cookie-cutter program, but rather meets each athlete where they're at, and builds a program to meet their needs."
— Austin D. · trained with Richard 6+ years

He's highly technical, prioritizes good form, and explains how to correct movements in a clear and simple way. He takes the time to get to know you and builds a program that fits your lifestyle and goals.
Rich is a great coach. I really appreciated that he actually listened to me, took note of my lifestyle and tailored my program around what worked best for me week by week, resulting in me smashing my first ever HYROX! Could not recommend him more!
Rich has been my coach for over 3 years and I couldn't be more happy! Rich is an excellent coach because he listens and creates programs that are tailored to my needs and goals. He quickly responds to my messages even though we live in different geographical locations (I am in the US).
He is very knowledgeable and is always challenging and correcting form to make sure you are getting the best out of yourself, without putting yourself at risk of injury. He has great qualities that make him a great coach.
I've been training under Rich for over 6 years now, and highly recommend him. He clearly explains the "why" behind what he programs, and teaches its importance. In short, if you need a coach, look no further.
