Achieve your goals - it always starts with you! 

We always start with an individualised 1:1 conversation to get to know you and your goals. I then design programmes based on sport science and sport psychology and coach you to your individual needs. This enables you to train safely, to your level, and to achieve your individual goals. 
Improve health: reap all the health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, dementia, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and burn out.
Feel Fitter and Stronger: build fitness and strength, prevent injuries, improve health span and enjoyment of life. 
Physical and Mental Health: be able to cope with life's challenges better, through more energy, strength, confidence, positivity, and mental skills that are taught in all the classes. Resilience through strong body and mind. Boost self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and energy. ​​
Confidence: Lose weight, tone up, and gain confidence in your body. 
Optimise performance: work with your own body, physiology and circumstances to optimise your own performance and health. 
Race preparation: plan your race schedule and prepare for your races professionally to avoid injuries, burnouts and achieve your highest performance on race day. 
Improve team cohesion: bond as a team and optimise your enjoyment and output - sports teams, business, or families. 

The Science behind it

Picture
The approach is based on the scientific biological-psychological model which shows how body and mind are always connected. Just think about speaking in front of hundreds of people. Your heart will start beating fast, you may get sweaty hands, and your tummy might feel a bit fluttery - a physiological response to something in your mind. The same can happen the opposite way - for instance a migraine that causes anxiety, possibly feeding back to your body as a panic attack.
​
Picture
Your body and mind are linked and constantly communicate. The good news is that - thanks to something called neuroplasticity - we can change the way our brains and bodies communicate, and optimise this conversation. This has an epigenetic effect on our bodies which means that good genes are switched on and bad ones are turned off, significantly reducing the risk of physical and mental illnesses and resulting in greater health and happiness and allowing us to fulfil our potential. 
Picture
Our body and mind always works together, working on both your body and your mind simultaneously - because they always work together and that is how our training is  should be designed - 

​All my unique programmes work on all three levels of the biological-psychological model and are based on the principles of neuroplasticity and epigenetics. They have been developed based on sound scientific research and years of practical experience in sport science, high performance psychology and mental skills training - to help you improve your health and happiness, achieve your goals, fulfil your potential and live your life better.

​Brigitte is fantastic. Warm, friendly and encouraging, she has created programmes that are completely bespoke to my needs. So perfectly tailored to me and broken down into manageable chunks, everything feels so much less daunting now. I couldn’t have got to this point on my own. Thanks Brigitte

Brigitte has been crucial in developing our Edinburgh Triathlon programme (...).  Brigitte has developed a psychological training programme (...) which I believe will be one of a kind in Scotland.

After years of Personal Training and gym work that only left me tired and constantly worried about my shape, food, and energy, a friend recommended Brigitte. I was immediately taken by her friendly down to earth approach and was amazed how much fun exercising could be! Thanks to Brigitte I am no longer spending hours in the gym but instead have focused and efficient workouts that make me feel energised! I have never been fitter in my life, and happier! Thanks so much!

​I used to be a total exercise-phobic, never enjoying or having any ambition to train. After a bad spell of health, my doctor advised some exercise. I got in touch with Brigitte thinking I need a professional Personal Trainer that can also help me with my motivation. And it worked! I never thought I'd say this but I do actually enjoy exercising now, and I feel so much better for it! I can even keep up with the kids now! Well worth it! Can't recommend highly enough!!

Brigitte is a very empathetic coach with a unique skillset. You can tell when you train with her. She really tunes in, understands, and turns things around seemingly with so much ease that only one with immense expertise and experience can. She makes sessions fun and varied, and is super motivating, positive and encouraging whilst giving everyone the chance to push themselves to their own limit. Brigitte's sessions are a fix point in my calendar and I look forward to them every week.
