Stronger for Tomorrow

Sometimes, especially early on. But not wrecked. The goal is smart, consistent progress – not crawling to the car. DOMS = delayed onset muscle soreness. The aches you sometimes get a day or couple of days after training.

No. Many of our clients are in that age range, some well into their 70s. Strength training later in life changes everything – mobility, confidence, bone health, quality of life. It’s never too late and we always adapt everything to your ability.

Most people start to feel stronger within a few weeks and notice changes in how they move, lift, and carry themselves. Visible changes depend on your consistency, effort, and lifestyle outside the gym. We always track progress, adapt the plan where needed, and keep things moving forward.

Yes, if your goals and levels match. We coach a few couples and pairs. It’s still focused and personal – just shared. Often training with a friend or partner can help develop the habits and consistency required to get the most out of training.

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in and trainers, ideally with a flat, firm sole. Bring a bottle of water and a towel. That’s it. (We always have towels and bottles of water available should you forget!)

That’s where good coaching matters. We’ll work around injuries, build back safely, and make sure your training helps, not hinders.

Yes – and you’ll be made to feel welcome here. Liam is Muslim himself, and we’re proud to have a growing number of Muslim clients, both men and women. We understand and respect the need for modesty and privacy. Fran offers private coaching in a quieter area of the gym for women who prefer a ladies-only space. Sessions are fully tailored to your comfort level, and there's never any pressure or judgement – just proper coaching built around your goals. During Ramadan, we adjust training sessions around energy levels and fasting times. Whether you're looking to maintain your strength or train more gently during the month, we’ll help you make it work. If you’ve got specific questions, don’t hesitate to ask. You’ll be treated with respect and understanding at every stage.

Liam has been coaching for almost 20 years and has an eclectic training history – from marathons to strongman to competitive kettlebell sport. His clients are mostly men over 35 who want to feel stronger, look better, and train in a place that makes sense. He teaches simple, proven strength training – squats, deadlifts, pressing, loaded carries – with a focus on form, consistency, and long-term results. It’s structured, progressive, and backed by experience. No nonsense. No posing. Just training that works.

Just send us an email. We’ll get back to you to arrange a free consultation and session. No pressure, no nonsense.

You might never feel “ready” - most of our clients didn’t at first. The first step is booking that free session. We’ll guide you from there. There's no pressure and no obligation, this first session is just a chat and an opportunity to get to know each other.

We coach men and women over 35 who want real results, not razzmatazz. Every session is properly coached – we’re not here to babysit you on machines or throw random circuits together. You get our full attention, not a PT scrolling their phone between sets. You’ll be taught how to lift safely and effectively, with clear progress week to week. No queueing for kit, no distractions, and no gimmicks – just proper training in a well-equipped gym. Between us, we’ve got decades of experience coaching people who’ve decided they want to take their health seriously. Liam’s in his 50s, Fran in her 40s – we’ve both lived the lifestyle, trained through life’s ups and downs, and coached hundreds of clients to do the same.

Fran works mainly with women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are navigating menopause, recovering confidence, and ready to take control of their health. She’s not just a qualified PT - she’s also a senior Women's Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of NHS experience, so she understands the physical and emotional challenges women face at this stage of life. Fran’s approach is practical, grounded, and built on strength. Sessions are private, supportive, and focused on getting results that matter: improved bone density, balance, energy, and confidence. No bootcamp shouting, no complicated jargon, and no pressure to perform. Just smart training, backed by clinical understanding, in a space where women feel safe to start and strong enough to keep going.

Yes. Fran runs ladies-only sessions in a quieter, more private area of the gym. and we’ve designed our space and schedule to be as inclusive as possible. Our gym is now split into two separate training areas. Fran coaches in the quieter, more private space, and she works exclusively with women. This gives her clients the comfort and discretion they often prefer. If you’re looking for a women-only environment, just let us know — we’ll make sure your sessions are scheduled accordingly. Also, Liam is Muslim and understands the importance of modesty and cultural considerations when it comes to training. We’ll always do our best to accommodate.

Absolutely. Most of our clients are over 35 and started from square one. You’ll learn the basics properly, build strength gradually, and never be pushed beyond your limits.

The principles are the same, but the focus changes. Liam works mainly with men over 35 who want to build lasting strength. Fran works mainly with women in midlife and menopause, helping them stay strong, healthy, and in control.

Liam is a Master Trainer with nearly 20 years’ experience. He works mainly with men over 35, using old-school, proven strength training methods to build real, lasting strength. Simple, effective, and built to last.

No. We don’t tie you into contracts. Clients stay because they get results, not because they’re stuck in a contract.

Fran mainly coaches women over 40, with a focus on strength training for menopause, perimenopause, and long-term health. She’s a qualified personal trainer and a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of NHS experience. Her sessions are calm, focused, and built around the real-world needs of older women who want to feel better, move better, and get strong without the usual gym nonsense.

We don’t just put you through a circuit and call it coaching. We teach you how to train properly, lift with purpose, and get stronger in a way that works for your body, age, and goals. Every session is coached, not babysat – and the results speak for themselves.

Mostly free weights — barbells, dumbbells, , powerbags and kettlebells. We use machines when they’re the best tool for the job, but our focus is on movements that build strength you can carry over to real life.

That’s exactly why you should come. We coach real people, from scratch. You’ll learn how to train safely, build confidence, and make steady, lasting progress.

We'll talk about your goals, current fitness, and any injuries or limitations, then show you the gym, and take you through a short, sensible workout. There’s no pressure, and no sales pitch, you’ll leave knowing exactly how we can help and whether we're the right coaches for you.

Yes. Group sessions are an add-on to our main personal training work. They’re capped at small numbers so you still get personal coaching, not crowd control. This is the Summer 25 timetable.

We’re based at Yorkshire Kettlebell Club at the Sikh Leisure Centre in Huddersfield (HD1 2NX). There’s plenty of free parking right outside the door. On the rare occasions our car park is busy, the leisure centre car park is directly opposite. No fighting for a spot and no walking across a big car park in the rain with your kit bag!

Not at all. At least half our clients aren’t vegan. The Angry Vegan name reflects our attitude, lifestyle, and beliefs, not a requirement for clients. People choose us because of the type of people we are and how we coach. Equally a personal trainer called The Cantankerous Carnivore would create a similar impression - the name tells you what you’re getting!

When you book a PT session, the gym is yours. No queues, no distractions, and no worrying about who’s watching. Just you, your coach, and the space you need to train properly. Group sessions are kept small and run at set times. One-to-one coaching is our main focus.
