A message from DavieOwner · The Hurt Locker, Benton
Built Around Real Life.
If we’ve never met before… I’m Davie. I’m a dad, and I’m the owner of The Hurt Locker in Benton.
Every week we help busy people in their 30s, 40s and 50s lose body fat, get stronger and feel more confident.
We built The Hurt Locker around real life.
Because for most people, the problem isn’t knowing they should exercise. It’s fitting it around:
💼Work👨👩👧Kids🚗School runs📅Weekends🤯Everything else life throws at you
And when life gets busy, the answer isn’t another plan that only lasts a couple of weeks. It’s having the right structure, coaching and accountability to actually make it stick.
That’s exactly what we help people with every day:
Structured training
Simple nutrition
Proper coaching
Accountability that fits around real life
If this looks like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, get in touch and we’ll send you the details. 💪

Training that fits your life
We don't just tell you what we provide. We show you the problem each part removes, how it fits into your real life, and what becomes possible because of it.
Coached Sessions
No time or training structure
Book around family life, turn up, be coached and finish within the hour.
Training becomes part of life rather than another burden.
Planned Workouts
Unsure what to do
Walk in without needing to make a single training decision.
More confidence and less mental load.
Calorie & Protein Targets
Confusion around food and portions
Eat normal family meals while understanding what your own plate needs to look like.
Lose body fat without living on a separate diet.
Nutrition Tracking
Unnoticed portions and snacking
See where calories are actually coming from and make small adjustments.
Feel in control without trying to be perfect.
Weekly Accountability
Starting well but drifting
One difficult day is noticed and corrected before it becomes another abandoned month.
Build consistency and trust in yourself.
InBody Scan
Relying only on body weight
See changes in body fat and muscle that the scales alone might hide.
Recognise progress and stay motivated.
Flexible Booking
Unpredictable family routines
Train at different times as work, school runs and activities change.
No need for a perfect weekly routine.

Why we built The Hurt Locker
Built around your real life
The Hurt Locker was founded by David and James with one simple aim: to help busy people make training a consistent part of their life.
There's no pressure to be the strongest or fittest person in the room, and no one-size-fits-all approach. Just supportive coaching, sensible programming and a community of people who encourage each other, have a laugh and make training something you actually look forward to.
It's about showing up, making progress and feeling better for it.
- Progressive training created to help day to day life
- Supportive coaching and sensible programming
- Progress without pressure or one-size-fits-all plans
- A community that supports each other and has a laugh
