Meet your coach
I’m Michael.
A trainer, a dad.
And a good listener.
I grew up with sport in the family—my dad was a Royal Navy physical training instructor, and both my parents loved running. What stayed with me was how good movement could make you feel.
Since becoming a personal trainer in 2009, I’ve helped people from their early teens into their late seventies find their confidence, build strength and take on challenges they once thought were out of reach.
Eight years at Nuffield Health in Giffnock shaped my approach: seeing the whole person. Today, in my own studio, that means listening properly, understanding your life and helping you find a way forward that works for you.
Outside coaching, I’m a dad of two who enjoys running, cycling and taking on HYROX events. I understand the challenge of fitting training around work and family. Whether your goal is an event or simply having more energy for everyday life, we’ll find a way that works for you.

More than your time in the studio.
Packs and monthly options include nutrition feedback and guidance, plus an independent exercise programme where required. That programme is reviewed every eight weeks while we work together. Your coached sessions are always tailored to you on the day.
These additional services are not included with a one-off session. Prices shown are for new bookings; arrangements for existing clients are discussed individually.
