Train at Titan

Does Either Of These Sound Like You?

Two of my clients started in completely different places. Here's how they described it.

Starting out

"I decided to join a gym to start lifting weights, except I didn't know what I was doing… You look over to people on the barbells and you think, oh my goodness. It looks quite scary. Looks quite intimidating."

Jessica

Got lost along the way

"I didn't really have a plan. I would basically try something out for a few months… I didn't really see results. So then that would demotivate me and I would just stop."

Will

If That's You, It's Not Your Fault

Nobody actually teaches you how to train for strength. You're left to piece it together, and it shows up in one of three ways:

Classes and machines keep you comfortable. They're easy and they FEEL like you're doing something, but they only get you so far. Free weights, used the right way, build strength that carries over to real life.

Random programmes with no plan. You follow something for a few months, nothing changes, you lose motivation and stop. Then you start again from scratch.

Nobody's watching your lifts. A video can't see your hips, your brace or your back. So things feel awkward, something aches, and you never know if you're doing it right.

How I coach

I use a powerlifting approach. Not for the competition, for the control. Learning the big lifts teaches you how to manage your body, muscles and joints.

It's calm, not crazy. Just enough work to build strength, loads you can manage safely, and a clear goal you're working towards.

No training to failure. No "no pain, no gain". In, job done, home time. Recover and relax.

What Changes When We Start At Your Level

You start where you areGentle from day one. Nothing you're not ready for, nobody showing you up.
You only move on when you're comfortableEach lift clicks before we build on it, so confidence grows with your strength.
You always know what to doA clear plan for every session. No more guessing, no more starting over.
Your lifts keep going upSteady, consistent progress you can see in your training log.
You move better and ache lessGreat if you sit at a desk all day and your back lets you know about it.
You feel strongThat moment you realise: "I'm strong. I can do this."

I'm a 33-year-old dad of 2 boys from Edinburgh who loves music and football.

Before coaching, I was a Prison Officer, a Nightclub Bouncer, and the most hated kind in all of Edinburgh: a traffic warden. I needed a career with purpose. Lifting became a passion. Strength coaching became the obsession.

I love working with people who see value in self-improvement. People who want lasting change and new skills that make their life better. Not quick wins or vanity goals. Meaningful change.

Questions

I've never lifted a barbell. Is that OK?

Yes. Plenty of my clients started knowing nothing. We start at your level and only move on when you're comfortable.

I sit at a desk all day and my back gets sore. Can I still train?

One of my clients works in an office and came to me with back problems. Now his back pain's gone. Tell me about any aches or injuries in your taster and we'll plan around them. If something needs a medical opinion first, I'll tell you.

I've been training for years. Is this just for beginners?

No. If you've been training without a plan and your progress has stalled, this is for you too.

Do I need to be a Titan member?

No. You can use the gym with me during our sessions without a membership. If you want to train at Titan on your own between sessions, membership is £90 a month. Otherwise, you can do your own training at any other gym.

When can I train?

Your answerYour days and times.

Is the taster really free?

Yes. No card details, no obligation.
