About Craig
Personal Training
In Edinburgh
Hi, I'm Craig Edinburgh based Personal Trainer and Online Coach.
I help men and women over 30 rebuild strength, lose fat, and feel confident in their bodies again — through personalised training that fits your lifestyle.
Why I specialise in coaching people over 30:
After coaching 60+ clients through 1,500+ sessions, one thing is clear — most people aren't failing, their programmes are. They're following plans designed for individuals 10–15 years younger than them with unlimited time and perfect recovery, then wondering why nothing works anymore.
Your body, schedule, and priorities are different now. You need training that reflects reality — not generic programmes.
My Approach:
I don't do 2 hour+ gym sessions or extreme diets. I create sustainable plans that fit your life:
- Training that works around your job, family, and commitments
- Programmes designed for your body as it is now, not 10 years ago
- Recovery strategies built around your current body and lifestyle
- Nutrition that works for you and doesn't take over your life
My Experience:
- BSc (Hons) in Sport, Fitness and Coaching
- CIMSPA Level 3 Personal Trainer
- 4+ years coaching experience
- 60+ clients, 1,500+ sessions delivered
The result?
Clients who've been stuck for months or years finally see progress. They build strength without burning out, lose stubborn weight, and do it without sacrificing their entire life to fitness — balance is important after all.
