Hanscombe Performance is the solution to my problems when I first started learning about fitness, health, and sports performance. It is about providing accessible and digestible fitness and performance resources that you can apply to your day-to-day life.

As with life, this is a journey that I want you to be a part of - regardless of whether you’re an experienced athlete or you’re balancing a healthy lifestyle with other commitments life throws at us.

Hanscombe Performance is for you.

Fitness can be easy to shrug off for a lot of people. When I played football growing up, the warm-ups (aka, running without a football) were the part of training I least looked forward to. Now, I run 20+ miles per week for fun and lift weights in the gym 5 times per week.

Even when I haven’t been competing in sports, finding the motivation to go out of my way to track calories, go to the gym, and generally exercise takes a back seat. I understand, but I want to give you a glimpse into the world of fitness and performance that has changed my life.

Rhys: A Brief History

I'm Rhys Hanscombe. Born within 0.5 miles of Fratton Park (Portsmouth Football Club’s stadium), sport has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I joined my local football team at 8 years old and continued on that journey to men’s football. Now, I compete in motorsport around the UK, and run long distances, and I’m a certified personal trainer with a deep passion for understanding how the human body works (and how I can help people achieve greatness in sports and life).

This blend of experience in multiple sports disciplines and my love for understanding how the body works allows me to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

When I started taking fitness seriously, I didn’t know where to start. In a world of endless contradicting information on the internet, I imagine you’re in a similar position - it’s impossible to differentiate the “right” information.

But you’ve come to the right place!

Why choose Hanscombe Performance?

One search for “personal trainer in Portsmouth”, or “online fitness coach” and you’ll be overwhelmed with the number of results. My approach is slightly different to the “get a beach body in 6 weeks” or the keto-promoting trainers out there, though.

My philosophy puts practicality and simplicity at the forefront of helping you improve your performance and health before anything else.

• Health-First Focus: Your physical and mental health is my priority. I design training programmes that align with your health goals and don't compromise your physical or mental health.

• Simplified Approach: Ditch the complex routines and overwhelming workout plans. My methods are easy to understand and implement, even if you're a complete beginner. I break down the science of fitness into actionable steps that fit seamlessly into your busy life.

• Real-World Experience: You benefit from not only my formal training as a certified professional but also from the experience I've gained pushing my own limits on the field (and race track). This unique blend allows me to provide guidance that's both effective and relatable.
