MEET YOUR COACH

Aiden Harvey-Franklin

Head Coach and Founder

Hi, I’m Aiden, I’m 28 and based in West Yorkshire. I’m a family man driven to push my physical and mental capabilities to the maximum; and I’m here to help you do the same.

I’ve lived most my life as an athlete in one form or another. From athletics, tennis and football in my youth to running and strength training during my late 20’s.

After living through a difficult period at 24 and coming out the other side weighing 120kg (20kg heavier) I lost all love for the gym even though I’d been training since 16. Something had to change as I found myself in the worst shape of my life - I booked a half-marathon and the rest is history.

I have been Hybrid Training for 3-4 years now with notable accomplishments at 100kg bodyweight being:

  • 212.5kg deadlift same week as a trail ultra-marathon

  • 150kg bench press

  • 1:46:10 Half-Marathon

  • 20:59 5K

  • 81km in 12 hours at Omnia Performance Backyard Ultra

  • 51km Ultra-Marathon

  • 2 x HYROX Mixed Doubles (1:14:10) with the 2nd fastest lunges of the whole day, including pro’s

  • 4:08:21 & 2nd Place Fortitude Challenge 2025

On top of these accomplishments I have become the strongest version of myself both in the gym and mentally. To go one more I also became a father in June of 2024 which has only spurred me on to become the strongest, fastest most resilient version of myself.
