# GPT - Gripper Personal Training
Gripper Personal Training (GPT) is a coaching business based at Halo Gym in Tunbridge Wells, founded by Harry Gripper. The business specialises in endurance performance coaching with a particular focus on running, whilst also offering strength training for sports performance and mental health management.
GPT works with individuals and small groups (up to 3 people) for in-person coaching sessions. The business serves everyday athletes across a broad spectrum—from complete beginners apprehensive about entering a gym, to experienced competitors preparing for marathons, ultramarathons and triathlons. They also coach athletes in cycling, swimming, functional fitness events like Hyrox and CrossFit, and team sports including rugby, cricket and hockey.
What sets GPT apart is the holistic approach beyond pure fitness coaching. Harry integrates injury rehabilitation for chronic conditions and sport-specific injuries, mental health support leveraging exercise as a therapeutic tool, and builds community through group offerings like cycle classes and the weekly RunSquad run club. Rather than purely prescriptive programming, GPT emphasises teaching safe and effective technique, pushing athletes to their boundaries whilst keeping them grounded and supported.
The philosophy of "Ordinary People doing Extraordinary Things" reflects GPT's inclusive approach—encouraging clients to pursue ambitious goals whether that's their first 10k or conquering a marathon, all whilst building resilience and becoming happier, healthier versions of themselves.
