Common questions
Everything you need to know about working together.
What qualifications do you have?
I hold a Physical Activity and Health BSc (Hons), I'm a qualified sports massage therapist, and I have over 10 years of experience in personal training, specialising in sustainable approaches for busy professionals.
Do you work with people on GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)?
Yes - this is a core specialism. Research shows 25-39% of the weight lost on GLP-1 medications can be muscle rather than fat. I help you protect that muscle with strength training and protein-first nutrition while you're on the medication, and build the habits that keep the weight off when you come off it. Ideally we start working together 4-6 weeks before you stop the medication, but any time is better than going it alone.
Do you offer online personal training?
Yes - online coaching is my primary service. You can train anywhere with custom programmes, form check videos, and direct messaging support throughout the day. If you're in or near Edinburgh, in-person sessions are available at your home gym or my private garage gym.
How much does coaching cost and what's included?
Programme-only is £99/month: a custom programme built around your goals, equipment, and schedule, reviewed and updated monthly, with email support. Full Coaching is £200/month and adds weekly programme updates, detailed form check videos, nutrition guidance, direct messaging support (I'm typically available from early morning until evening and reply within a few hours - I'm one person, not a 24-hour helpdesk, but you won't be left hanging), and weekly or fortnightly check-ins on whichever rhythm suits you. In-person sessions are £60 each for coaching clients in the Edinburgh area.
Can you help me set up a home gym?
Yes. I help you plan exactly what to buy for your space, goals, and budget, and how to lay it out - equipment and layout only, before you spend a penny. It's included in coaching, or you can ask about it in a free consultation. There's also a free home gym guide to get you started.
Do you offer sports massage?
Yes - mobile sports massage at your home for £50 per 45-minute session, available to clients in Edinburgh and nearby. It's subject to availability, and coaching clients get priority booking.
Are there any contracts?
No contracts or long-term commitments. If it's not the right fit in the first two weeks, I'll refund you in full - no questions. After that, you can cancel anytime with no fees or exit charges.
What if I miss sessions?
Life happens. We can adapt with home workouts, walks, runs, or playing with kids depending on your goals. Programmes auto-regulate to keep you progressing.
Do you provide meal plans?
I don't provide exact meal plans, but I help with nutrition guidance, calorie targets, and meal ideas. Clients typically use tracking apps like MyFitnessPal connected to their workout data.
How do check-ins work?
You send videos of your working sets and share food tracking data. We do video or phone check-ins. I focus on stats and how you feel - no need for photos if you're uncomfortable with them.
