Grind Hard Fitness

I’m Coach Chris McClarence, the owner and head coach at Grind Hard Fitness. I consider myself an extremely diverse athlete with experience covering a wide range of skills, sports and aspects of fitness and performance. Having personally competed in several different areas and took part in and prepared for many different events, competitions and scenarios in performance, combat and physique.

I feel strongly that every coach should practice what they preach. A coach may not compete in the exact same field as a client but should be able to understand the demands which are going to be placed on a client or athlete whilst they strive for their version of greatness. I make it my business to constantly research. I improve my knowledge and experiences, first hand as much as possible. This creates a greater empathy with clients and athletes and increases my coaching ability constantly.

I am often found on courses, at seminars, competitions and expos up and down the country, taking in information as well as sharing my own. I also train with many of the top-ranked competitors on a national and international level, in several areas.
