    Beginners to hard sessions

    Owner and founder

    I couldn't imagine not training. I train to feel alive, to lift weights and condition my body. Training with me is whatever you want it to be. I can teach the absolute beginner, be gentle and understanding, or I can turn your session upside down.

    Breaking the start, stop, give up cycle

    Coach at Commando X-Fit

    I help people who are stuck in the cycle of starting, stopping, getting results for a bit, then giving up. I'm here to help you break that cycle, without making fitness your entire personality. I'll be in the trenches with you, both in the gym and through communication outside of it, when things are going smoothly and especially when they aren't. My aim isn't just to make you feel more confident in how you look (although it's a nice by-product). It's to help you become someone who can actually stick to things long term.

Commando X-Fit offers personal training in Hillington, Glasgow, with nine coaches working from one floor. Each of them trains clients one to one, and several run small group sessions as well.

The reason to choose a coach here is fit. Cameron specialises in body transformation and strength. Liam prepares people for Hyrox and running events. Emily is a certified run coach who works with beginner runners. Jas is a former Muay Thai fighter who coaches athletic performance. Caitlin coaches women only. Alessadra has a Sport Science degree and focuses on balance and consistency over quick fixes. Ross, who owns the gym, will take anyone from an absolute beginner upwards.

Personal training happens in the same facility you would train in as a member, so you have the turf track, racks, sleds and the full strength floor to work with rather than a corner of a busy room.

Each coach sets their own sessions and prices. The quickest way to start is to message us on WhatsApp with your goal and when you can train. We will match you to a coach and they will get in touch directly.

How much is personal training?

Each coach sets their own rates and packages. Message us with your goal and we will put you in touch with the right coach, who will give you a price before you commit to anything.
