HENRY DAVIES, CO-OWNER/ FOUNDER & HEAD COACH
Henry is the founder and co-owner of FFTA, bringing with him a wealth of experience as a personal trainer and former Sports Scientist for Crystal Palace U23s. Through his work with both adults and young athletes, Henry recognised a significant gap in fitness education—most adults wish they had started earlier, while many young athletes lacked access to the knowledge and guidance needed to thrive.
This realisation sparked the creation of FFTA. Henry’s vision was simple: make expert fitness knowledge accessible to everyone, especially from a young age, so the next generation grows up confident, capable, and equipped for a healthier future.
As a father, Henry is personally invested in the benefits of physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. His desire to give his own son the best foundation fuels his passion to provide the same opportunities for other children.
At FFTA, Henry leads the exercise programming for the academy and oversees the coaching team, ensuring they are continually learning, growing, and delivering the highest standard of support to every child.

sam powsney, COACH
Sam is a youth strength & conditioning coach at FFTA, offering a relatable, up‑to‑date perspective paired with strong athletic and coaching experience. Having started his own strength training journey at 14 with us, he understands exactly what young athletes need to feel engaged, capable, and supported as he has been through the journey himself. We are incredibly proud of how far he has come!!
He has a strong passion for helping young people build confidence through movement. Sam is also working as a snowsports instructor specialising in youth development and ski performance.
Sam competes as a GCC record-holding hybrid athlete, recognised as the youngest Spartan Beast & Trifecta finisher in the Middle East. He enjoys Obstacle Course Racing, endurance sports, and environments that push his physical and technical limits and skills.
At FFTA, Sam has already delivered a full year of coaching experience. His coaching approach focuses on movement quality, safety, and long‑term development, ensuring every athlete progresses at their own pace, building both skill and confidence in the gym.
With a background in coaching children to professional athletes, dedicated in helping people improve their current scenario.
Whether that be to increase strength, gain confidence in the gym or improve their sports performance/physical activity.
With a love to help educate and motivate, from someone who has never been in the gym, coming back from an injury or illness, or a seasoned gym goer looking to level up their training.
Having worked with sports pathway athletes and school children, it’s clear to see the importance of what structured training and education can have, not just in the short term, but for later down the line in developing young people, to become young adults.
