Meet Your 
Trainer

I’ve already told you about my childhood spent idolising wrestlers and how my pursuit of strength and fitness came at a young age. But I haven’t yet told you how getting into wrestling as a sport took its toll on me.

Wrestling is a weight class sport, so while in training you’re at a totally different weight class to when you actually compete. Sometimes, you might not know about a competition much more than a few days in advance. That means that I was being asked to make major weight cuts without much time to get it done.

Fad diets, sweat suits, you name it. I’ve done it to make weight. 

And if you don’t already know, I can tell you: it feels terrible! It also often can lead to a pretty poor relationship with food for some athletes - so I get what it feels like to yoyo diet this way.

One of the first people I helped with her weight loss had a snacking problem. She would set alarms during the night and get up while her family were asleep to eat in secret. We worked on her relationship with food and she dropped 20kgs - which is awesome, but the best thing? 

Her mobility improved. She stopping thinking she had to tolerate living with daily physical pain. Her relationship with food got better. She now never eats in shame and can enjoy social meals with her family. 

I believe in keeping personal training personal. Real progress is made when you form genuine connections with people.

About Grady B Personal Training

The aim of personal training is to help you to fast track your weight loss goals. To help speed up the process, and demystify what needs to happen in the gym. Ultimately, personal training should take all the confusion out of getting the body you want - whether that’s a slim, toned figure or a more muscular one. 

But the real benefits will be felt outside the gym; Being confident and comfortable in your clothes; No longer feeling self-conscious when your partner puts their arms around you. Feeling like you love your training because you know exactly what you’re doing - and why. I train clients in person at the gym because this is the best way for me to teach them the movements. It’s also the best way for us to build a relationship - which means you get the physique you want much quicker. 

Servicing areas such as Stockbridge, Inverleith, New Town Edinburgh, Tollcross, Broughton, Bruntsfield​ and the Meadows

I’ve now worked with over 500 people to help them reach their goals. We use a mix of tried and tested old fashioned techniques and modern scientific principles to develop a training programme that you love - and works - for you.  We use a variety of tools such as barbells and kettlebells to develop core strength. 

This will make you less injury-prone. You’re never left alone, confused over your training programme again. Your programme will be custom made and will fit your goals perfectly. This will help you reach your goals - and set new ones - as quickly as possible.
