AJS Strength and Wellness Strength & Wellness Coach

Helping busy adults build strength, confidence and healthy habits through fun, supportive coaching.

12/09/2026

I could tell you how much I love helping people become stronger, fitter and more confident, but it’s probably better to let my clients tell you instead 💪

The wins look different for everyone:

🔥 Flipping the big tractor tyre for the first time
🏃 Breaking running PBs
🏋️ Learning to deadlift at 79 and then joining a gym
💪 Rebuilding strength and confidence after illness or cancer treatment
😂 And having plenty of laughs along the way

There are a few different ways to work with me:

💻 Rebuild & Rediscover, this is my 12 week online coaching programme for women who want training, nutrition, accountability and proper support, so basically the full jing bang!

💪 Friendly, inclusive classes, these are varied, challenging and suitable for different fitness levels. You work at your own pace, but you are never left to feel lost.

🏋️ 1:1 PT, private coaching in my small studio, where the space is entirely yours during your session.

I will be sharing some brilliant four week results from my newest Rebuild & Rediscover clients very soon 👀

Interested in coaching? Want class details? Then take action now and DM me "START" to find out all the juicy details.

Maybe this is the wee kick up the backside you’ve been waiting for 😉

Apparently I’m a superhero now 🦸‍♀️

But see that big scary bu**er behind me? 👀

That could quite easily be all the things that stop us getting started…

“I’m too unfit.”
“I wouldn’t know what to do.”
“I’ve lost all my strength.”
“I used to be fit…”
“I’ve tried before and it never lasts.”
“I need to lose weight before I start.”
“I’ll start when life calms down…”

And before you know it, that big scary bu**er has got bigger and bigger in your head.

Here’s the thing though, you don’t need to suddenly become a superhero.

You just need to start building your strength, fitness and confidence again, one week at a time.

That’s exactly what we do in my 12 Week Rebuild & Rediscover Programme.

No throwing 100 things at you in week one.
No expecting you to live in the gym.
No perfect diets or ridiculous rules.

We start where you are, build from there and adjust things as we go.

And somewhere along the way, the things that felt bloody enormous at the beginning start feeling a whole lot smaller.

So if you’ve been saying “I used to…” for long enough maybe it’s time to find out what you can do now.

📩 Message me REBUILD and I will tell you about the 12-week programme and give you that wee kick up the backside that you need to get started.

We all deserve to be superheroes 😎

Do you go into the gym and think "I have nae a bloody scooby what I am going to do?" 😵‍💫

Maybe you jump from machine to machine, copy something you seen on social media, you tube or what someone else in the gym was doing or you might just choose whatever happens to be free.

And here's the thing, you dinna need a complicated programme or a completely different workout every time you go to the gym. You need a programme that works for you, and one that you can stick to consistently.

I basically follow the same programme every week, and I gradually build on it by increasing weights, adding a few reps or completing another set. That’s how you can actually see whether you are getting stronger and making progress.

I love a leg press, it's one of my favourites in a gym, and I will usually add my calf presses while I’m there too! 🦵

So if you have nae a scooby what to do when you walk into the gym, then I can fix that for you, and the best thing is you dinna even need me there to show you.

I can build you an online programme with clear instructions, so you know exactly what you are doing, even without me standing beside you.

So if a gym programme is something you haven't got, then DM me "GYM" and let me build you something that's nae complicated and something that will work for you 😎

🚨 ADVERTISING SPACE FOR SALE 🚨

And no, I have not bought a billboard. The billboard is ME. 😂🏃‍♀️

My brother, Russell and I are taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2027 together, raising money for Marie Curie 💛

So I have decided to start selling advertising space on my running kit to local (or International) businesses.

Want your company logo on my vest or T-shirt? Buy a space. 😎

Front, back, sleeves and I've got shorts as well, so technically there's quite a lot of advertising real estate available. 🤣

And this is not advertising for just ONE race.

I will be entering other running events throughout the year, and the plan is to have a vest/T-shirt with all my lovely advertisers on it that I can wear at those events too.

I will also wear the kit during training, in running photos and in my social media updates.

So your logo could be getting dragged around Aberdeenshire and beyond for months before eventually completing the 13.1 miles around London in April 2037 🏃‍♀️

You buy the advertising space → your logo goes on my running kit → the money goes towards our Marie Curie fundraising total. 💛

Russell raised an incredible £17,646 for Marie Curie when he ran the London Marathon in 2025, so we have got a fairly hefty act to follow!

🖨️ CAN I ALSO BE REALLY CHEEKY...

Is there a local printing company who would be willing to print the logos onto the kit for us for free or at a reduced charity rate?

You wouldn't be doing it for nothing, you would get your own company advertised on the kit too, along with mentions and tags throughout our fundraising and training.

If you can help, or know someone who might want to buy some space please tag, share with them or drop me a message or email at [email protected]

I will also be planning a few Charity Bootcamps, with entry by donation, and hopefully a few raffles too, so there will be plenty of other ways to get involved.

If you are a business and fancy seeing your company logo running around the country with me drop me a message to buy your advertising space.

⚠️ Obviously, prime advertising real estate will cost you more 😆

And yes...

THE BACKSIDE OF THE SHORTS IS AVAILABLE.

OH AYE… I DO CLASSES TOO! 😆

Between all my recent chat about shorts, running, my new online programme and in-person PT, I should probably remind you that I run a few classes each week also.

So, here's what's happening this week:

Location - Thainstone House Hotel, Inverurie

💪 MONDAY
Core Conditioning – 12:30pm–1:00pm

🔥 TUESDAY
Bootcamp – 5:30pm–6:15pm
Bootcamp – 6:30pm–7:15pm

⚡ THURSDAY
Tabata – 6:15pm–7:00pm

And just to clear up something I have been asked a few times, you DO NOT need to be a Thainstone House Health Club member to come to my classes.

I use the fantastic grounds and facilities at Thainstone, but the classes are open to everyone.

💜 Health Club member? Classes are included as part of your membership.
💜 Staying at the hotel? Guests are very welcome to join us too.
💜 Neither? You just book on via Gymcatch or drop me a message and come and join !

All fitness levels are welcome and exercises can be adapted to suit you, so don't worry about having to "get fit first" before coming along. That's kinda the point of coming! 😆

And the consistency is paying off. are continuing to get stronger, improve their overall fitness and even knock out new running PBs, all while having a good laugh along the way. I must say the music is sometimes questionable! 😛

You don't have to be the fittest person in the room. Just keep showing up and you will be amazed at what starts to change.

📲 Book through GymCatch (link in the comments) or just drop me a message. 😎 See less

Here’s how a recent client dropped cm’s and rebuilt her confidence 🥰

15/08/2026

Apparently I have a pair of shorts for every occasion. 😂🩳

It’s been absolutely ROASTING, so here’s a wee insight into the highly glamorous life of a fitness coach/business owner/general skuddler…

📸 Shorts No.1 – Business attire.
Actual fitness coach shorts. In the gym. Doing the job I’m actually qualified to do. 😂

📸 Shorts No.2 – Emergency shopping attire.
Gillian’s mum informed me Poundland had 90% OFF.
NINETY PERCENT.
Quick change and hike down the street immediately. 🤣

📸 Shorts No.3 – DIY/skuddling attire.
Ancient football coaching shorts, now demoted to skuddling clothes. Putting up plasterboard in the porch… in my cosy Christmas slippers from my mother-in-law.
Health & Safety would like a word. 😂

📸 Shorts No.4 – Costco attire.
“Just nipping in for toilet roll.”
Aye. Right. 🤣
Who else goes in for ONE thing and comes out with a trolley full of useless sh*te you didn't know you needed?

📸 Shorts No.5 – Running attire. 🏃‍♀️
Back from this morning’s run looking, in my opinion, DAZZLING in my wee golfing visor. 😎

My partner took one look at me and said:

“There’s nae fear of me worrying about you having an affair when you’re oot running.”

WTF?! 🤣 Excuse me. I thought I looked HOT. 🔥

Anyway… somewhere amongst running, coaching, DIY, bargain hunting, Costco and apparently dressing in a way that protects my relationship from infidelity…

I'm launching my brand spanking new 12-week online coaching programme. 🥳
I’m keeping it small because I want to actually COACH you,.proper check-ins, accountability, training and support. Not fling a generic plan at you and send you on your way.

Fancy one of the remaining spaces? Drop me a DM with "SHORTS" 🩳

Apparently turkey is out. Questionable shorts are in.

And don’t worry… there are PLENTY more pairs still to share.

This could become a series nobody asked for. 😂🩳

Okay so fa else has changed their knickers about 10 times the day? 🌞 😆

It's roasting again and today I'm talking suncream nae shorts 😝

I’m nae here to tell you to wear it. You are all old enough to know you should be slapping it on by now 😂

BUT, folks with tattoos, what are you using on yours?

My tattoos literally feel like they are on fire in the sun, and the only thing I’ve found that actually works for me is Boots SPF 50.

So if you've got tatts, what do you use on yours?
Anything you absolutely swear by? Let me know 👇

Myrtle also wanted to join today’s public service announcement and show you what she uses on her lugs when the sun’s oot 🐶😂

And whilst I have your attention can we appreciate today’s outfit 😳 short choice for today are actually my old football coaching shorts that have now been demoted to my skuddling aboot the hoose/garden clothes.

And before anyone comments on whether I remembered to put suncream on my face and neck, yes I do and I also use firming cream daily but I'm just slowly morphing into Bernard Matthews finest as the years go by. 🦃🤣

ANYWAY…

In an absolutely seamless transition from suncream, dog lugs, old football shorts and looking like a Doric turkey…

I should probably remind you that I AM ACTUALLY A FITNESS COACH. 😂💪

And I have a brand new online offer coming very, very soon. 👀

I’m ridiculously excited about this one and I will be sharing all the details very soon. But if you fancy beating the crowds and getting your slot reserved before I officially launch it DM me the word “TURKEY” 🦃 And this Doric turkey will tell you more. 😂💪

(PS no matter where you are in the world, if you need a kick up the backside and you think you need a bit of Doric in your life then I'm the coach for you) 😎

💜 THAT’S A WRAP FOR OUR INDOOR WINTER SEASON 💜

And just like that… the indoor season comes to an end.
A huge thank you to every single one of you who has come along to classes over the winter months. You have all worked incredibly hard and I am honestly so proud of the progress you’ve made — strength, fitness, confidence… it’s been brilliant to see 💪

There’s also been some amount of chatting and plenty of laughs along the way, which is exactly how it should be.

Numbers were a bit quieter tonight, but that’s Easter holidays for you, the effort from those who came along definitely made up for it!

A big thank you as well to St Andrews Church and St Mary’s Church Centre for the hall use over the season, it’s been very much appreciated.

Now… we head back to where bootcamp belongs.
If you fancy joining us this week:
📍 Kellands Park, Inverurie
🕕 Thursday – 6:15pm
🕣 Sunday – 8:30am

Fresh air, more space, and a new season ahead. I’m looking forward to getting you all back outside 😎
