I looked through my camera roll to find a good cross section of what my clients get up to training with me, but it’s impossible to fit all the fun stuff in so I guess I’ll write about it as well!
I (Rebecca) coach people online and in the gym (1:1 PT, small group PT, and lifting club) and have been doing so for almost a decade. I’m situated at Energy Gym in Edinburgh, which is a friendly gym with a clientele as varied as mine. We have loads of cool kit, lots of space, and a cafe/bar upstairs.
I have coached people who compete in high level strongman, powerlifting, and roller derby, as well as people who come to the gym to get a bit fitter and healthier for day to day life. Folk who want to compete, and folk who want to have social connection and be fit enough to run around with their kids. All body types and goals are cool with me. It’s all valid and it’s my job to make sure everyone feels valued and supported.
My clients are part of a community regardless of whether they come to lifting club (very social) or 1:1 PT - we have a book group, and do group days and nights out a couple times a year. I want everyone to feel welcome and at home in the gym, but here’s the thing: none of this is compulsory! If you want to get a programme from me with a weekly check in and not talk to anyone, that’s 💯 fine. If you want to make pals, that’s awesome too. EVERYONE is supported.
I have competed internationally in strongman, as well as holding national records in IPF powerlifting. I’ve got a Strength and Conditioning qualification, pre/post natal and PT certs, and a degree in Sport and Fitness. I’m also q***r, neurodivergent and have loads of experience coaching a huge range of people.
Would you like to be coached by me online or in person? Would you like to have a chat about what you’d like to achieve? Send me a message!
Oh and by the way, you don’t have to get to a certain level of fitness to start - that’s my job ;)
