Chris Hardy Coaching

🏃‍♂️ Run Strong: Because better running isn’t just about running more. 💡

Most runners push harder when they hit a plateau. But what if you could run smarter instead? That’s what this workshop is all about.

Here’s why it matters (science-backed, of course 🧠👇):

✅ Efficient form = more speed: Small tweaks in technique mean less effort, more pace.
✅ Strength = resilience: Build muscle where it counts to absorb impact & avoid injuries.
✅ Breath & rhythm = endurance: Learn how to move with your breath, not against it.
✅ Drills & feedback = instant gains: Real-time coaching so you feel the difference.

One simple goal: helping you run stronger, smoother, and pain-free. 🏃💨 This is also a great opportunity to get ready for a race later in the year.

Come along, super inclusive welcoming approach to teaching appropriate for runners at all levels.

That's not hyperbole – when my mental health crashed in 2019, the simple act of moving my body became the foundation I rested everything else on.

Through that journey, I discovered something simple and lasting: our physical and mental wellbeing are deeply connected. That's why I do what I do today.

As a personal trainer in Bristol, I help busy professionals build strength, resilience and confidence through movement that fits around and within real life.

No extreme diets. No punishing workouts. Just practical, sustainable habits that work around your schedule.

Whether you're:

👩‍💻 - Feeling stuck at a desk all day
🏋️‍♀️ - Wanting to get back to fitness after a break
💨 - Looking to take your running to the next level
😌 - Ready to prioritise your wellbeing

I can help you create a foundation of strength that supports every part of your life.

✨ Good health is your birthright. Let's reclaim it together. ✨

Hey! 👋 - It's been a while since I've done an intro post... (here goes!)...

I haven’t been posting much lately—because I’ve been retraining and making a career pivot. It’s feeling a little risky (as these things do!), but also exciting to be putting myself out there as a personal trainer.

I know how hard it can be to stay consistent with training—life gets busy, motivation dips, and sometimes you’re not sure what actually works. That’s where I come in.

As a PT, I help people move better, get stronger, and feel good in their bodies. But more importantly, I know how powerful exercise is for mental health—it’s not just about fitness (or looking good in the mirror!), it’s about feeling your best inside and out.

With a background in coaching and corporate wellness, I understand the challenges of balancing fitness with a busy life.

Whether you want to build strength, improve endurance, or just move pain-free, I’ll help you make it work.

How we can train together:
🏡 1-1 sessions (home or studio)
🤝 Small group workshops
🌳 Park training sessions

If you’re curious, reach out! I’d love to hear from you.

During February I’m offering some reduced-price sessions while I get things going—so if you, or a friend are keen to train, let’s chat. 💪
