No. We run a monthly subscription with no minimum sign-up period. We just ask for 30 days’ notice if you want to cancel, and unused sessions are banked and rolled over rather than lost.

We’re open Monday to Friday from 6am to 8:30pm and Saturday from 8am to 12pm. Sessions are booked in advance through our training app, so your coach is always ready for you.

Q: How much does a personal trainer cost in Edinburgh?

Prices depend on how many sessions a week you choose. Our introductory offer starts from £221, and you can see the details on our membership and pricing page. We’ll go through every option with you at your Free Intro, with no pressure to sign up.

Q: Do I need to be fit before I start?

Not at all. Most of our clients are beginners or coming back after a long break. Your personal trainer starts where you are today and builds your programme up gradually, so you never feel out of your depth.

Q: How many sessions a week should I do?

It depends on your goals, your schedule and your budget. At your Free Intro we’ll recommend a number of sessions that fits your week and that you can keep up long-term, because consistency matters more than squeezing in as much as possible.

Q: Do you help with nutrition as well as training?

Yes. Every client gets a personalised training and nutrition programme, and our founders hold the Precision Nutrition Level 2 certification. You can also see how we coach weight loss.

Q: Can I move from 1-1 to small group training later?

Yes. We usually start with 1-1 training for the first month to fine-tune your programme. After that you can stay 1-1 or move to small group personal training, which is our most cost-efficient option.

Q: Where are you, and is there parking?

We’re in the historic Leith Arches at 16a Gordon Street, at the bottom of Leith Walk. You can park for free in the Tesco car park on Duke Street, which is one minute round the corner.

Personal Training?

This is the start of your journey, where you work individually with your own personal trainer in Edinburgh to lay the foundations for your training and nutrition. Each session is built around your goals, your schedule, and your current fitness level (including your individual sessions!).

Who Is 1-1 Personal Training For?

Our 1-1 personal training in Edinburgh is built for people who want a coach’s full attention. If you’ve never set foot in a gym, feel nervous about getting started, or have tried to go it alone and lost motivation, this is where we help most.

Clients come to us for all kinds of reasons:

Complete beginners who want to learn how to train safely
People coming back after a break, an injury or a busy few years
Anyone with a specific goal, such as losing fat, building muscle or getting stronger
Busy professionals who need sessions that fit around work, from 6am to 8:30pm
Anyone who prefers a private session over a crowded open gym

Whatever your starting point, your personal trainer will meet you there and build your programme around it.

What a Session With Your Personal Trainer Looks Like

Every session lasts one hour and follows a programme written for you. Before you arrive, your coach already knows what you’re working on that day and how your last session went.

A typical session starts with a warm-up to get you moving well, then works through your main strength exercises with your coach checking your technique on every set. We finish with work that supports your goal, whether that’s fitness, muscle or fat loss.

Because it’s just you and your coach, there’s time to talk through your nutrition, your sleep or anything that’s getting in the way. That’s what makes 1-1 personal training faster than training alone: small problems get fixed before they become big ones.

Our studio is appointment only, so you’ll never wait for equipment or train in a packed room. Sessions are booked through our training app, which also holds your programme.
