After 40, You're Either Building Strength or Losing It
30 years coaching · 100+ five-star Google reviews · MSc & UKSCA accredited · Best PT in Coventry 2025
Award-winning personal trainer and strength coach for men over 40, in Coventry and online. From a coach who's 60, still training, and has lived the decade you're heading into.
You're not lazy. You've just never had the right plan.
Most men over 40 don't fail because they lack effort. They fail because they're still training like they're 25. Then the back goes, the knees complain, and they stop. The answer isn't to do less. It's to train smarter: strength, power and mobility built for the body you have now.
I'm Rich. I've trained for 48 years and coached for 30, from London's West End to footballers, boxers and runners. I'm 60 and stronger than most men half my age. I don't just coach this decade. I'm living it.

Quality Business Awards 2025
This Is for You If...
✓ You're 40+ and weaker, stiffer or heavier than you'd like
✓ You've tried training alone and it hasn't stuck, or it's hurt
✓ You want a coach who explains the why, not just the what
Built on Three Pillars
✓ Strength: build and keep muscle and bone
✓ Movement: power and mobility for joints that last
✓ Recovery: nutrition, sleep and stress, with Hiro
The Reclaim Programme
One programme, two ways to do it. Training, nutrition and lifestyle coaching, joined up, not bolted on. Three months minimum, because real change takes that long.
Strength, power and mobility built around your joints, your history and your goals. Hiro coaches your nutrition, sleep and stress alongside it, so the training actually pays off.

What Clients Say
★★★★★
“I have worked with personal fitness trainers for the past 5 years or so and can honestly say that since working with Rich since February the results have been amazing I wish I had used Rich from the start and who knows what my results would be now. He has turned my life around, at 70 years old I have lost count of the number of people that believe I look, move and carry myself like someone 10 years younger.”

“Deciding to hire a coach for my fitness journey has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Doing this journey with Coach Richard and Hiro, my nutritionist, made it even better. Coach Rich is an exceptional coach, and I have absolutely no regrets choosing him. I used to hate my body, but with the guidance and support of Richard and Hiro, I went from 103 kg to 92 kg in less than 7 weeks. Today, I feel more confident and fuller of energy. Thanks to Hiro, I now understand what the best meals are for my body, and I’ve learned so much about nutrition. Even though I haven’t reached the end of my journey yet, I’ve decided to continue with a new program at Richard Levy Performance. I’m confident that by the end of this second program, I’ll achieve the body I’ve always wanted. I would highly recommend Coach Richard and Hiro to anyone who is serious about feeling strong, confident, and great in their own body.”

★★★★★
“Rich took the time to understand my specific goals and tailored a program that was challenging but achievable… What really stood out was Rich’s deep knowledge and expertise. He has a knack for explaining complex movements in a way that’s easy to understand, ensuring I executed everything with near perfect form, reducing the risk of injury.”

Common Questions
I haven't trained in years, or I'm carrying an injury. Can I still start?
Yes. Most of our clients start exactly there. Everything is built around where you are now, and we work with physiotherapists when rehab is needed.
Can my partner train with me?
Yes. Many of our clients do better with their partner alongside them, since you keep each other on track and you eat the same meals at home. Ask about our couples option on your discovery call.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we cover pricing on a free 30-minute discovery call. Programmes run for a minimum of three months, because that's how long real change takes.
Where do you train?
Foundry Gym, Unit 8 & 9, Bilton Industrial Estate, Humber Ave, Coventry CV3 1JL. If you're not local, we coach online.
