Hey, I'm Richard Wathern, a Personal Trainer / Fitness coach based at Brockworth & Tuffley Holmleigh Halo Leisure Centres. My fitness journey began in 2010, when I set out to increase my functional movement and strength. Achieving my PB’s (personal best) goal bodyweight barbell bench press bodyweight weight and half for Barbell Squats and double bodyweight for deadlift was a defining moment that showed me what the human body is truly capable of when you combine dedication and consistency with food and proper training. Then I incorporated Olympic movements and functional strength more with Olympic rings and Olympic weightlifting. I keep finding new life style goals for longevity and healthier lifestyle. This achievement and progression in other fitness methods ignited a fire within me to help others unlock their own strength and potential.

I believe that true fitness is built on a foundation of functional strength and movement. It's about developing a body that's not just strong, but capable, resilient, and ready for whatever life throws at you. My approach is rooted in helping you build real-world strength whilst fostering a supportive environment where you feel encouraged every step of the way.

Whether you're aiming to increase your strength, improve your mobility, enhance athletic performance, or simply feel more confident in your daily movements, I'll design a personalised programme that challenges you whilst respecting your individual starting point. Every journey is unique, and I'm here to support yours with unwavering commitment and motivation.

Transformation takes courage, consistency, and the right guidance. I'm dedicated to being in your corner, celebrating your victories, and pushing you through the tough moments. Together, we'll build not just a stronger body, but an unshakeable mindset.

Ready to discover your strength? Come find me at Brockworth Halo Leisure Centre or Tuffley Holmleigh Halo Leisure Centre or get in touch to book your first session.

Your stronger, more capable self is waiting – let's make it happen!
