MY STORY
Personal training in Edinburgh built on real experience
I didn't grow up sporty or confident in the gym.
​
I walked into a gym for the first time just before turning 40. I was unsure, inexperienced and very aware that I was starting later than most people. I wasn't chasing perfection. I really just wanted to feel better, stronger and more capable in my body
Now heading toward my mid 50's, fitness is a huge part of my life. This isn't because I followed extreme plans, but because I learned what actually works when life gets busy and motivation comes and goes.
​
My own journey has shaped how I coach people today.
Why I coach the way I do
I know how intimidating the gym can feel.
I know how easy it is to think you've left it to late.​
I also know how powerful it feels when training finally makes sense - when you understand what you're doing and start to trust your body.
My coaching is built around:
-
Clear structure
-
Realistic expectations
​
-
Consistency over perfection
-
Support without judgement
You don't need endless motivation.
You need a plan that fits real life.
From my journey to coaching others
I’ve trained and coached in busy commercial gyms across Edinburgh, working with people at every stage — from complete beginners to those returning after long breaks.
What I’ve learned is simple most people don’t struggle because they’re lazy. They struggle because training feels confusing, overwhelming or unsustainable.
My job as a personal trainer is to remove those barriers and help you build confidence, strength and consistency — one step at a time.
Strength, confidence & HYROX coaching
As my own training progressed, so did my focus on how my body performs
HYROX requires more than just general fitness - it demands strength, endurance and smart race preparation.
I now coach:
-
HYROX first-timers
-
Relay and doubles athletes
-
Competitive age-group racers
Training is structured, purposeful and tailored to where you are right now — so that you feel prepared, and not guessing, on race day.
Who I work best with
I'm a great fit for you if
-
You want to feel stronger and more confident
-
You're busy and need to fit training around work and personal life
-
You value structure, accountability and honesty
-
You want progress without punishment​
You don't need to be "fit enough" to start - That's what the training is for!
LIVE FIT FEEL FABULOUS - at any stage
Fitness doesn’t have to be extreme to be effective.
For me, it’s about feeling capable, resilient and confident in your body — at any age at any point of life
If you’re looking for a personal trainer in Edinburgh who understands real life and supports you properly, I’d love to help.
