Your Happy Hour
Is everything in your life perfect, or are there ways in which you could be happier given a little help?
Your Happy Hour is intended to give you the information and motivation to make that difference. It is a collaboration between you and your certified Happy Hour Personal Trainer. It will help you to see more clearly how you can reach your goals by understanding what might be holding you back.
These techniques are based on Benjamin Fry's work as seen on the BBC's series Spendaholics. He has personally taught and certified every practitioner on the Happy Hour network.
You will start with an initial two-hour session with your Personal Trainer and leave with a clear and simple action plan. This can be followed up with optional monthly one-hour sessions to monitor progress and develop your plan.
New Network Of Trainers Pledge To Make People Happy In 2008
Fry's network will deliver increased happiness in an hour a month
A happiness hit squad will start business on 1st January 2008. Under the direction of Benjamin Fry, self-help guru and TV presenter, they are promising clients that with an hour a month of their time they will make them happier by the end of the year.
Fry will be extending the approach which he developed in the BBC’s long-running series “Spendaholics” which unearthed the real issues behind out-of-control spenders. His direct approach will be offered to people across Britain through a team of “personal trainers” who have been working with Fry.
His methodology concentrates on bringing the tools and tips of the traditional mental health industry out of the closet and into the high-street. He makes available to ordinary people living successful lives the considerable advantages of understanding their minds, relationships, choices and feelings in a much clearer, simple and more organised way than most people even believe is possible. This has amazingly powerful results, as frequently witnessed by television audiences on Spendaholics.
Fry said on the launch of his network of trainers, “My Happy Hour personal trainers aim to make their clients happier in exactly the same way that a gym’s personal trainers seek to make their client fitter and healthier. To me there is no difference between working out your feelings and working out your heart. I am looking forward to seeing the tactics which we have developed in Spendaholics extended to as many people as possible. We offer affordable, simple solutions which make a real difference.”
His team offer the benefits of seeing a “therapist” without the taboo, commitment, navel-gazing, and most importantly cost, of being in “therapy”. Clients can see a trainer for as little as £20 per month.
Costs are kept down even further because Fry’s methods specifically prohibit clients getting addicted to or relying on consultations: his team will refuse to see anyone more often than once a month.
Having honed his approach in a successful London private practice Fry now wants his team of trainers to offer support, encouragement and advice to people across the UK. The mission of the “Happy Hour” network is to make his work available across a range of fees and locations throughout the UK.
Find Your Personal Trainer
Finding the right Personal Trainer for you
There are some important questions to consider before booking an initial appointment:
- Can I afford them*? (see list by price)
- Can I physically get to this Personal Trainer? (see map)
- Is he or she available when I am?
- Do I like this person or not?
The Happy Hour Personal Trainer profiles are designed to help you to quickly answer the above questions so that you have the best chance of choosing the Personal Trainer who is right for you.
Each of our Personal Trainers is self-employed and certified by Happy Hour. They have varying prior experience and different availability and locations. That's why their fees vary.
We recommend that you look in your price range, and then see if there is someone near to you when you need them. Finally have a look at their video to see if you would like them or not.
*Remember that you will be paying for two hours for your first session and thereafter for one hour per month if you feel like you want to continue.
