Is this you?

You’re not trying to be 21 again — you just want to feel solid.

Henley Fitness is built for men who have more responsibilities than free time — and who are tired of feeling fragile, unfit, and older than they are.

You feel stiff getting out of the car, and your back or knees complain after simple tasks.
You’ve tried gyms before but hated the crowds, the noise, or feeling like the weakest guy there.
You want strength that carries into work, family, and hobbies — not just numbers on a bar.
You’re willing to work, but you need someone to meet you where you are, not where you "should" be.

If you want to feel capable, strong, and comfortable in your own body again — without stepping into a "gym bro" environment — this is your space.

Imagine 90 days from now:

You pick up your kids or grandkids without thinking about your back.
You walk into any room standing taller, knowing you’ve put real work in.
Your clothes fit better — not because of a fad diet, but because you’re actually stronger.
You have a simple plan that fits your week, instead of feeling guilty for not doing enough.

It starts with one low-pressure intro session. No weigh-ins. No shirtless photos. Just a conversation and some simple movement to see where you’re at.

Simple, steady, sustainable

How My Programs Work

No complicated apps or 6-day-a-week programs. Just 2–3 focused sessions in a private garage studio, tailored to you.

Step 1

The Game-Plan Session

We sit down, talk through your goals, injuries, and schedule, then run a few simple movements to see how your body is actually moving — no judgment, no tests you have to "pass". This takes about 1 hour to complete. There is no obligation to continue and if you don't you will at least walk away with a plan.

Step 2

Build your 40+ Strength

We agree on a sustainable training plan that fits into your budget & lifestyle and build a plan around your joints, not around Instagram workouts: mobility, strength, and conditioning at a pace you can sustain.

Step 3

Train, Adjust and progress

"You show up, we handle the thinking. Every session is coached, tracked, and adjusted based on how you’re feeling so you keep progressing without beating your body up.

REAL MEN, real change

Stronger in the garage. Stronger in life.

These are typical outcomes for committed clients over 3–6 months. No extreme diets, no crash programs.

Jackson A.

“Before starting I had constant lower back pain and avoided lifting anything heavy. Within 3 months, my back feels solid and I can work full days on site without limping to the car.”

Key changes: -8kg, +60% strength on main lifts, no daily pain meds.

Lachlan I.

"Tristan is a superb personal trainer with deep knowledge and experience, and a passion for making people strong! His workouts are personalised, well planned and always fun - thoroughly recommend!"

Key changes: much stronger and more energy Recently hit a 200kg deadlift.

Jason D. - first time lifter.

“I’d never touched a barbell before and was nervous I’d embarrass myself. The private setup made it easy to start. We built things slowly and now I actually miss it when I travel.”

Key changes: consistent 2x/week training habit, no more "gym anxiety".

Straightforward investment

Tailored coaching without long-term contracts.

Most clients train 2 or 3 times per week. We’ll walk through options in your intro session, but here’s what to expect:

1:1 sessions in the private garage studio.
Pricing per session comparable to a night out — but better for you.
No signup fees, no 12-month lock-ins.
Pause or adjust if life or work gets hectic.

During the Game-Plan session, we’ll map out a plan and be completely upfront about pricing — you decide what feels right.

What you get in every session:

Warm-up and mobility specific to your joints.
Strength work focused on big, safe movements.
Conditioning tailored to your current fitness.
Coaching, form checks, and progress tracking.
Adjustments based on sleep, stress, and energy that day.

Limited spots: Because this is a true 1:1 studio, there are only a few client openings at any time.

Questions, answered

You don’t have to be fit to start

The most common thing I hear is, “Let me get a bit fitter, then I’ll start.” That’s what I’m here for. We start from exactly where you are — breathless, stiff, or nervous is all welcome.

I’m not very fit. Can I still start?

Absolutely. You don’t need to be fit to start — that’s what training is for.

Our coaching focuses on building strength, movement quality, and confidence from your current level. Everything can be adjusted so you can train safely while gradually improving your fitness.

What if I have injuries or ongoing pain?

That’s very common, and it’s something we account for. Exercises can be modified to work around injuries or mobility limitations while still helping you build strength.

The goal is to help you move better and become more resilient over time — not push through pain.

Do I need gym experience?

No experience is required. Every exercise is coached and explained so you know exactly what to do and why you’re doing it.

Many clients actually start with little or no gym background. Learning proper technique early helps you build strength safely and avoid the bad habits people often pick up training on their own.

What makes this different from a regular gym?

There are no other members watching, no mirrors lining the walls, and no loud music unless you want it. This isn’t a typical gym where you’re left to figure things out on your own. Every session is coached so you receive guidance on technique, progression, and training safely.

The focus is on building real, practical strength that supports your health, daily life, and outdoor activities.

How Do I Get Started?

The first step is booking an initial session ....I call this the Game-Plan session. This gives you the opportunity to experience the training environment, ask questions, and get a feel for how the coaching works.

We’ll discuss your goals and guide you through a simple session so you can see exactly what to expect.

From there, you can decide if it feels like the right fit for you.
