Hey, I’m Jamie

I'm Jamie - a Personal Trainer and Online Coach from Scotland.

But above all, I’m a dad, a weekend bread baker, hot sauce aficionado, and a lover of learning languages.

When I turned 21, I left university and escaped all adult responsibility by moving to the Swiss Alps to become a Ski Bum. What a life: I partied hard, skied hard. But there came a time when it wasn’t serving me and the life I had begun to envision for myself.

After 6 years there, I found strength training and fitness. I know it’s a cliche, but it helped steer me away from a future I didn’t want to live and one I was stumbling towards.

Unhealthy, undisciplined, and unable to run for the bus without panting like a dog under the summer sun.

Thankfully, that’s not the future I ended up living.

I’ve wasted more time than I’d like to chasing different programs, exercise variations, and training strategies.

Why not give your training a better chance by learning from all the mistakes I’ve made by not making them yourself?

Life is tough and busy. You shouldn’t waste time in the gym. I’m here to cut the fluff so you train more effectively and efficiently.

PS. I don’t have that fluffy moustache anymore. Looking like a cop out of a 70s movie was so 2021.

WHAT SOME OF THE FOLKS SAY…

"He is passionate and knowledgeable about his work and understood my goals from our first meeting. The programme he’s designed for me working with areas of tension and weakness built up over many years which I believed to be irreversible, not so. I am delighted with how I feel in my body."

— S. Bowers, UK

“Training with Sensei Johnstone has been nothing short of epic for me. When we started training, I was at a serioudly low point and stuck in a horrible cycle. Jamie started me off with small steps and we built from there. I now regularly exercise 3 x per week and have a much better relationship with food.”

— J. Hutton, UK

“I’ve had a few sessions now with Jamie and I can honestly say he’s a super knowledgeable and genuine guy. I really like how our sessions are really productive but also have a good laugh at the same time.”

— A. Hughes, UK

"Jamie has been working with our most elite dancers for a few months now. The improvements that we have seen have been outstanding. Jamie is professional, approachable and works really hard to ensure that each member of the elite is being challenged but also ensuring to work around any existing injuries."
