Progress in context

Three different kinds of progress.

She’s built muscle through consistent training and now feels her best in a dress for a night out.

Getting clients shoot-ready.

We built his training and nutrition around the shoot so he was ready on the day.

Client running in a road race after building endurance through coaching
Running progress
Couch to Marathon.

I helped him build his endurance while losing body fat. Running has also made a big difference to his confidence and mental health.

More from client check-ins

“Over the moon that I overcame my fear of the gym and actually found myself enjoying it.”

“Lowest weight in over 10 years. My body confidence has returned.”

“I started the year able to run around 1K without stopping. I’ve now completed an 8K run without stopping.”

“My weight and measurements are definitely improving, and that’s improving my state of mind.”

“My clothes are feeling looser. I tried on clothes for a wedding and some actually fit when I wasn’t expecting them to.”

“Friends and family have noticed my weight loss. I’m stepping up my workout routine, going to the gym more often and feeling challenged in a positive way.”

About Mark

I came to fitness from IT, not from a lifetime spent in gyms.

I started training because sitting at a desk all day had wrecked my back. It helped far more than that. It changed how I felt physically, how I handled life and eventually what I wanted to do for a living.

Now I coach people who often feel that the fitness industry was not built with them in mind. Too new, too self-conscious, too queer, too busy or simply fed up with being made to feel they should already know everything.

My journey from IT to personal training
  • 2013 · Age 22I started going to the gym while I was at university. At first, I stuck to the areas I felt comfortable in and tried to figure things out as I went.
  • 2014 · My first PTA year later, I met my first PT through the student union. I trained with him for a few years, learned a lot and started taking fitness more seriously.
  • 2019 · QualifiedAfter two years working as an IT lecturer, I decided I wanted to work in fitness and qualified as a personal trainer in 2019.
  • 2020–2025 · Building experienceCovid put a lot on hold. When gyms reopened, I gradually built up my experience, coaching people from different backgrounds, running my own classes and doing my own fitness photoshoots.
  • 2026 · Age 35Now I coach clients in person in Milngavie and online. I’ve gone from feeling unsure in the gym myself to helping other people feel more comfortable in it.

Common questions

Before you get in touch.

Something else you’d like to ask? Send me a message.

Do I need to be fit before I start?

No. Your starting point is exactly that: a starting point. Your plan is built from where you are now.

Do I need a gym membership for PT?

Membership depends on the coaching package you choose. Some packages require a Training Station membership so you can train independently between PT sessions. Where this applies, the membership fee is deducted from the coaching price. I will explain the relevant option before you sign up.

Is online coaching just for fat loss?

No. I coach fat loss, muscle building, strength, body recomposition and general fitness.

Is your coaching only for LGBTQ+ people?

No. My coaching is open to everyone. Being genuinely LGBTQ+ inclusive simply means nobody has to wonder whether they will be respected here. Read about inclusive coaching.

What happens on the free call?

We talk about your goals and what support would help. I will explain the relevant options and tell you honestly if I do not think I am the right coach.
