Harry's passion for sport and exercise started at a young age, spending most of his childhood either on the rugby pitch, the astro turf, or surfing in Cornwall, where his family is from. At the age of 15, he discovered the gym and strength and conditioning as a means to improve his performance in rugby and hockey. Regardless of the type of movement involved, whether it be lifting, running, or jumping, Harry fell in love with it.

As he grew older, Harry's focus shifted from team sports to individual pursuits, particularly long-distance running. His freakishly long limbs and love for movement made him a natural for running. He now considers himself a fitness freak, with passions in ultra-running and powerlifting. His training ethos can be summed up by the phrase “Lift Strong, Run Long”.

Outside of the fitness space, Harry enjoys spending time with his family, walking his dog Gus, and playing the saxophone. He is known for his love of tattoos and funky shorts, adding to his unique personality.
