Hello, I’m Calum,

I have moved around many different training disciplines on my own fitness journey – but have found over the years that climbing is where my passion really lies. It requires skill in a number of areas like upper body/finger strength, mobility, balance and core.

I believe health and wellbeing is a fundamental part of life and that there is a place for everyone to take part. My interests lie in all areas of fitness and I thoroughly enjoy learning about new practices.

Experience

I have worked with a very broad range of people with a variety of goals and achieved results with all. I have spent a lot of time with those who are new to the gym and are learning to get to grips with everything. Or those who are returning after a long time away and need help with getting back into it. I have also worked with people that have a variety of sport specific goals and spent a lot of my time researching and learning about the broad science behind gaining muscle and strength in the most efficient ways possible.

Training Methods

My specialties lie in training that tries to improve health and general quality of life. Whether that is feeling more body confident, becoming more able in day to day or working toward something sport specific. My workouts are built around those core principals. They are not complicated and always start gradually to ensure we give the body a chance to adapt and adjust appropriately. I pride myself on my ability to adapt and overcome challenges faced in the gym space.

Hi, I’m Chloe and I am a Level 3 qualified Personal Trainer. I have a strong passion for weightlifting and calisthenics, and enjoy teaching core and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as well. (Calisthenics is a form of exercise, which uses your own bodyweight against the force of gravity. Exercises are performed with differing levels of intensity and rhythm, to help build and enhance strength and muscularity).

I have been lifting weights for over 4-years, and introduced calisthenics training to my workouts a year and a half ago. Body weighted training has brought me so far; I am a stronger person both physically and mentally. It has transformed my physique, and has unlocked skills, which I never dreamt of achieving! I can help you if you are a beginner, unsure where to start with strength training and muscle building, or if you’re more advanced but have plateaued and want to progress further.

Not only will you be training with me to achieve your goals, but you’ll also unlock other skills along the way as your strength grows! I offer 24/7 support whether it’s during our sessions or via email, I will be there to provide my best service to you!

I believe everyone deserves the right to good health and to be happy with themselves inside and out. My passion and enthusiasm is to help people change their lives in the simplest and most realistic way possible. Getting fit and healthy doesn’t have to be hard. Depending on your personal goals my programs are personalized, adaptable and flexible which will develop with you to get the most out of your training experience. I aim to deliver the very best client experience leading to the desired results.

My journey started when I was doing a degree that was not right for me. My quality of life declined and I lacked direction and motivation. I was underweight and had a very poor perception of my body image and had low self esteem. I discovered that people who went to the gym seemed to feel better and more positive about themselves as well as feeling healthier. I had found my focus and a passion which has progressed me to Fitness Manager. Now I have the opportunity to personally pass on this experience I have gained from transforming my own physique as well as many others I have worked with over the years in the gym to my PT Clients.
