Hi, I’m Rhys Harper and have been a personal trainer/performance coach since 2021. I shave 15+ years’ experience training in different gym spaces with varied training principles.

I am passionate about continued strength training for both performance and health. In 2024 I decided to start trail running and it is now the center of everything I do. This year I plan to tackle a 115km Ultra Trail Run while maintaining my strength. This is the perfect mix to call myself a hybrid athlete, but I really just enjoy challenging myself in various ways. Strength training and running will always be a part of my life as long as I can continue to train them.

I have been a strength coach for EC Fitness Training since 2023 and love the community. If you’re after in-person coaching EC is where your sessions will be held.

I’m studying Exercise and Sport Science part-time while trying to juggle many hours of training and family life. Continued education is important to me and I will always be looking to learn for myself and my clients.

Why Ironstride? It’s the perfect combination of Strength and Endurance. It’s about being an athlete, blending different training styles and excelling in them. It’s about taking on the challenges you face along the way and conquering them against the odds.

“Unwavering determination to conquer mountains.”
