Ian coaching a session at East Kilbride Fitness & Performance

Ian

Head Coach & Owner

I'm Ian, and I've been coaching for 13 years — though really it started long before that, training to be better at rugby. Then a torn ACL took me out for a year, and rebuilding from that taught me more than any good season ever did: with the right coaching, you can come back from just about anything. It's still my favourite part of the job — being there when someone lifts something, or does something, they'd quietly written themselves off for. Off the gym floor I run on two things: coffee and Oasis. Definitely maybe in that order.

Vahri

Coach

Hi, I'm Vahri. I came to coaching after stepping away from my old career to raise my two boys — and after having them I had to rebuild my own fitness, so I know how daunting walking back into a gym can feel. Everyone starts somewhere, and plenty of us have had to start again. The best part of my week is watching someone surprise themselves — a heavier lift, a tougher session, or just showing up week after week. I honestly get as excited as they do. Outside the gym I've got a love-hate relationship with running; it keeps pulling me back in, and this year it talked me into my first marathon.

Amazing gym!! The atmosphere is very relaxed. All trainers are very approachable, supportive and knowledgeable. For the first time I can say that I have found the place where I actually want to go and improve my physical and mental health. Thank you for creating such a great place that makes people's lives better ❤️

EK F&P MemberGoogle review

From my first session, it was clear I'd joined quite a unique gym. Three amazing coaches who often push me beyond what I believe I'm capable of, a varied training schedule with sessions that fit no matter what shift I'm on, and the craziest bunch of members who have been the best laugh and support I could have asked for. I genuinely can't recommend this gym enough — get signed up, you will not be disappointed 😊💪

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to be fit before I join?

Absolutely not. Your coach adapts every session to your current ability — whether you're brand new, returning after a break, or already training regularly. Everyone starts somewhere, and we'll meet you there.

I've never lifted weights before. Is this for me?

Yes — most of our members started exactly there. Both Strong 45 and Burn45 are built for all levels: your coach will show you every movement, start you at the right weight and pace, and adjust anything you need.

What happens at the free session?

You'll join a regular class alongside our members. The coach will introduce themselves before the session, ask about your goals and any injuries, and adjust every exercise to suit you. Just bring trainers, comfy clothes and a water bottle.

How is this different from a normal gym?

You never train alone. Every session is planned, coached and capped at 12 people — so you always know what to do, how to do it safely, and whether you're making progress. It's the structure of personal training at a fraction of the cost.

Am I tied into a contract?

No. Memberships roll month to month and you can cancel any time with 30 days' notice. You can also pause your membership if you're injured or away.

What if I can't make the class times?

With morning, lunchtime and evening sessions across the week, most people find slots that fit. Tell us your availability when you get in touch and we'll point you to the right classes.
