Why Train With a Specialist
Fourteen years of coaching has taught Callan one thing above everything else: generic programming doesn't hold up under real-world stress. A large part of his work is strength and conditioning for combat sports, building the grip endurance, rotational power, and fatigue-resistant strength that BJJ and Muay Thai athletes actually need, developed over years spent coaching at Hanuman Muay Thai in Leith. Alongside that sits fat loss coaching, the most common reason people start. The other side of his practice is rehab and injury recovery: helping clients train around a bad shoulder, a rebuilt knee, or a long layoff without losing progress. It's the kind of specialism that only comes from years spent solving problems most trainers haven't seen yet, usually what separates genuinely bespoke coaching from a recycled plan.

Amanda Brown
Body composition, perimenopause, confidence
"Three months on I'm noticeably stronger, my jeans fit better through the waist and my glutes have shape I've never had. Lifting doesn't make women bulky — it makes you look athletic and feel like yourself again."
Lee Borthwick
Full body transformation
"Having worked with several coaches over the years, Callan is the best I've worked with to date. He's helped me achieve physical results I didn't think possible."
Shaun Gray
Fat loss and body recomposition
"The transformation has been incredible. Callan helped me go from a classic dad bod to a seriously improved physique — dropping weight while retaining and building muscle."

What Clients Say
5.0 rating from 64 Google reviews.
"I used Callan to make weight for a BJJ competition. He is so knowledgeable and was even able to adjust for unexpected illnesses. He was able to not only explain what I should do but why. 10/10 could not recommend enough."
"Callan has been my S&C and nutrition coach for the last 9 months helping me prepare for jiu jitsu competitions. He has revolutionised my training. I have a much better athletic base, massively improved strength and endurance, and he completely removed the stress of making weight for competition."
"I started with Callan doing rehabilitation PT two years ago. His knowledge, understanding and support are absolutely amazing. He listens but stays firm. Having overcome the rehab I'm now achieving new PBs, something I thought I would never do again."
"In under a year I made huge progress: significant muscle mass increase and improved overall fitness. The training and diet plans are very detailed and professional. Callan knows all the science behind why he wants you to do things a particular way. I always felt positively challenged and looked after."
"I love working with Callan. I have a slipped disk and he is able to modify everything to suit me and my needs. Not only is he a great trainer, his nutrition plan is great too. He really listens to his clients. I would recommend him to anyone regardless of what your goals are."
