Real Results From Personal Training Near Leith
Terry from Leith knows exactly what it’s like to feel like fitness is impossible around a busy life.
“I’m a massive foodie with a high-pressure job, and fitting fitness in felt impossible. Sandy used a flexible nutrition strategy that let me eat out and still make progress. I lost 7kg in 10 weeks, hit a 200kg deadlift, and I didn’t have to give up the food I love.”
Terry isn’t an outlier. He’s an example of what happens when the programme fits the person rather than the other way round.

Sandy provided a highly professional and scientific training programme with all steps explained in detail. He was also very supportive and encouraging throughout the training. I am pleased that I selected Sandy as my personal trainer.
Sandy listens, treats you as an individual, understands the pressures of real life, helps you set goals which are achievable, even if you doubt yourself. Sandy has fantastic knowledge of nutrition and fitness, the whole package. With Sandy as my PT I have changed my relationship with food, aswell as how to do quality workouts in gym; achieving not only weightloss but improved muscle strength. Getting me over my 'fear' of free weights. I have osteoarthritis in both knees; with Sandy's guidance i have developed stronger hamstrings and glutes which in turn has meant improved movement and reduced pain. If you want a fully supportive PT, who gives 100% to you as a client and who you WILL get success with, then I fully recommend Sandy.
