high performance coaching for rugby players, MMA athletes and everyday people

Meet Your Coach

I'm Aaron Smith, a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer, online coach and competitive rugby player based in York. I've competed in national college rugby and continue to train and compete while studying Sports Coaching at Leeds Beckett University.

I'm also chasing my own goal of playing rugby at the highest level possible, so I understand the standards, discipline and structure athletes need.

After losing over 25kg myself while building strength and rugby performance, I now help others do the same with coaching that is personal, direct and built around real progress.

Who i coach

I help rugby players build strength, power, speed, fitness and resilience with programmes designed to improve match performance. Every plan is tailored to your position, experience and goals

Aaron Smith — Coach, Gainline HPC

“I turned up with the goal of hitting my 100kg bench. Aaron identified the problem straight away from the first session, and I hit it within about 3 weeks. Despite his age, the guy really knows his stuff and I'm really pleased. Would recommend."
