Recent 2018 transformation....Toni has been with us for just over a year and has made some amazing progress in that time. She has went from predominantly running as her main form of exercise to now predominantly weight training. OMG but weights will make me big and bulky right 🤔 ?? I very much doubt it. A well balanced programme coupled with a well balanced nutritional approach to fat loss which is consistently executed should only result in a stronger, leaner and fitter phy...sique not a bulky one! So don’t be scared ladies to get some weights into that workout! If you would like some help and guidance in getting a fitter, stronger and leaner body drop us a message today! #transformation #beforeandafter #weightlosstransformation #woman #womanwholift #healthgoals #personaltrainer #personaltraining #aberdeen #gym #fitfam #leaner #stronger #fitter #acheive #achievement #running #weightlifting #balance #nutrition

A few Xmas touches🌲#xmastime #festive #gym @ Barry Stephen Personal Training

Don’t forget your forearms and wrists when it comes to flexibility. Pull ups, deadlifts, curls and the rest (no jokes intended here btw ) it all takes its toll on an area that is so important when it comes to performance - your ability to keep grip for those all important extra reps and or kilos might come down to something as simple as forearm and wrist flexibility.
Perform each position as shown for 30-40secs 1-2 times pre during or post workout.
To get a more in-depth description of this nice and easy routine take a look at the YouTube link in my insta bio of a younger less greyer version of me 7 years ago explaining.

One of many amazing positives to choosing to either be a PT client or a gym member with us is, the support you get will not just be from the one person......yes you’ll have your own PT, but you will also get a great deal of encouragement and support from the whole team of trainers and even more from a bigger community of awesome people who all came to us with a common goal - to better themselves and enjoy their experience.
One of the best decisions I made when I opened this... facility 6 years ago was to include a membership, I could never be one of these exclusive PT only gyms, if I was I’d be missing a trick and would have missed out on some awesome experiences.
The community we have created helps drive the results you see, big up to the #teambspt crew. We currently have spaces for membership and PT so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want to end the year on a high note! #teambspt #community #team #teamwork #membership #results #gymlife #fitfam #aberdeen #support #network #betteryourself

The Barbell Back Squat is in my opinion the daddy of the lower body exercises and provides great bang for buck in a programme helping to build strength, increase muscle and prevent injury. However it’s not the only tool at our disposal. Back squats are not for everyone, if you have restricted mobility across your shoulders and thoracic getting a bar on your back and maintaining a safe posture can be difficult. Similarly if your ankle or hip mobility is restricting either cor...rect depth or a safe bar path then perhaps this exercise isn’t the best option for you. Front loaded or machine variations are a great alternative that are easier to perform safely while giving you lots of strength building benefits.
Work on your back squat restrictions by identifying the problems you have and include the correct mobility and/or strength exercises in your programme to improve these issues, but substitute the back squat out for something that you can perform better. Here are some options to consider. If you want to learn how to squat better or get a proper assessment then drop us a message we would be happy to help. #squats #frontsquat #backsquat #mobility #options #safelifting #personaltrainer #personaltraining #aberdeen #teambspt #acheive #fitfam #tips #gym #gymlife #gymlovers #legday @ Barry Stephen Personal Training

Since I started going to PT sessions with Kevin I have been able to run a 5K under 30 min which I'm ridiculously proud of as I had never achieved that before. I have also managed to do two half-marathons which has led me to attempt my first marathon this year. I go once a week and I am amazed how much everyone else in the group achieves.

With a bit of persuasion from my friend Linda, I signed up for my first buddy session, I am now away to start my third block. Wow can’t really put in words how far I’ve actually come. That first week Michael must have thought “challenge”. I can honestly say that my strength has greatly improved and I can actually squat! I would recommend the gym and PT sessions. Michael your a star putting up with my moaning each week!!

We have been training with Michael for over a year, on a one:one and in buddy sessions. The workouts are varied and challenging, focus on tecnique, building confidence as well as developing your fitness. The gym is easy to get to, well equipped, everyone is friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend Barry Stephen Personal Trainers to anyone who is looking to get results and improve your fitness and performance.

My friend and I do buddy sessions with Kevin at BSPT and really enjoy it. We were both feeling a bit fed up with our own gym routines and wanted to try something with a bit more focus. Kevin put together a great programme for us and he is a hugely positive and motivational PT. Would 100% recommend!

I’ve been going to BSPT for a number of years now and recommend it all the time to anyone wanting a friendly, fun and unpretentious gym where everyone is welcome.



I joked once that BSPT is a bit like Cheers - the gym where everyone knows your name - but that encouragement and enthusiasm from everyone, trainers and clients alike, to keep coming back and persevering is what makes it special.



In particular, I’ve trained with Bruce for over 6 years and he has done wonders with me, even with my irregular attendance due to work! His technical expertise, patience and good humour (ok, terrible jokes!) makes going to a training session with him an absolute pleasure!

I've been training with Michael for a year now and Kevin before that and can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. I absolutely love each PT session, sessions are varied, challenging and enjoyable. Michael and Kevin have both helped me strive to achieve my goals: allowing me to improve my strength, balance, achieve running PB's and further enhance my overall fitness. The weekly Fit Mix and Flexibility classes are a great addition to my training and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick workout in their lunch break. Friendly gym, brilliant atmosphere and the best Personal Trainers in Aberdeen, encouraging, motivating and fun. Best money I've ever spent, can't thank Michael, Kevin, Barry and all the trainers at BSPT for their positive attitudes and sharing their knowledge of PT to helping me get the most out of my sessions.

I've been training with Kevin in group PT for about 4 months now. I'd never trained in a gym environment before and had no experience of PT. The gym is very welcoming and not intimidating in the slightest. The trainers are all very knowledgeable and I've thoroughly enjoyed the training. They really do push you to your limits but the results are worth it. Would definitely recommend.

I've been training at BSPT for just under two years now. Initially with Mark and now with Scott and Barry. My strength, technique and overall fitness has improved beyond what I thought I'd ever be able to achieve.

I can honestly say I look forward to every session whether it's PT, Bootcamp, Boxing or flexibility.

All the PTs are incredibly knowledgeable, adaptable and very encouraging. Being part of such a positive community makes going to the gym a daily enjoyment. So pleased I found such an amazing gym!

I've been training at BSPT for around 4 years now and the team and members are just fab! When you walk into the gym you see everyone enjoying their sessions whether they're at PT or in classes. The banter is off the scale too and the events Barry and his team organise are the icing on the (prepmyfood) cake. Barry and his team make training work by adding a cracking atmosphere that makes you want to drag yourself out of bed in the morning or head in after work even if you ain't quite got the motivation at the time! You know once you're through the doors you'll be ready to get going. 100% recommend!

I've been going to PT sessions with Kevin for a few months now. As I'm recovering from injury he uses a very considered approach. Unlike most I've not lost weight but i never thought i'd be able to do a decent squat and definitely not a deadlift because of my knees and back! A very friendly and unique gym.

I started at the gym over a year ago and initially trained with Mark and now train with Michael and Barry. The team are encouraging and inspiring and really help with motivation. It is a great gym and everyone is friendly and welcoming.

The opening hours are great and allow me to train around work hours. The bootcamp classes on Monday and Saturday mornings are a great addition.

I would have no hesitation it recommending Barry Stephen Personal Training.

I joined Barry Stephen after hitting a wall with training on my own. I take part in group PT weekly and in the short time I have been here I have learnt so many new exercises and have far better form. Barry and his team are extremely generous to always be willing to share there experiences and tips, wether that be at group or when they have a free moment at the gym. Everyone has been welcoming, friendly and the results are paying off. I'm hitting my goals and even surprising my self!

I have been training with Micheal for a the past few weeks now. I have always enjoyed fitness classes and cardio but was a bit lost when it came to strength training. Micheal has helped me gain confidence using weights and helped me be less intimidated by weights room. He is very focused on correcting technique and making sure I am getting the most out of my workout. I have noticed a change in my strength and am keen to continue making progress. He has been very flexible to allow me to get sessions in around my work schedule.

I came to bspt to train with Scott Newcone who came highly recommend intending to do just one block I'm still with him 19 months later!working in fitness myself I have worked with many pts over the years but totally in awe of the dedication Scott and the rest of the team have. At my first ever class a regular told me it would be the best decision I would ever make to join the bspt family thinking this was a bit over the top but Carol was right and I really can't put into words how true this is!

I started training at the gym with Michael around 1 year ago and I love it! I have achieved so much more than I would have on my own and the programmes are excellent. I love to work hard and the programmes make sure I do. The support you get to achieve your goals is second to none, the gym is brilliantly kitted out and everyone is very friendly.

By far the best group of trainers in Aberdeen, all with their own style and approach to training but all extremely knowledgeable, motivating and able to get the best out of their clients. Everyone has their own goals, and I’ve seen so many people (myself included) achieve them and everyone supports each other to do it. I’ve lost nearly 6 stone and started powerlifting since I started with Bruce, and can honestly say the best thing I ever did was make that first contact to join. Highly recommend.

Barry’s gym has it all, professional trainers, friendly helpful clients, groups and classes for all abilities and a great social side with charity competitions , days and nights out, and many other events through the year. A fabulous gym . I can’t recommend it highly enough .

BSPT gym has a fab community spirit with all trainers and users of the gym making you feel very welcomed, especially in the early days where it's all daunting and new!

I started group training with Bruce in 2016 and have since moved onto 1:1 training and I LOVE it (as much as I moan about it, I really do enjoy it). I have well and truly been taken out my comfort zone! Bruce is an amazing trainer, who can even get the laziest of people (me) motivated.

After starting just under a year ago with Michael as my PT I can say that my confidence has grown, I am stronger and fitter. Michael helps me greatly with my technique and motivation but also makes it good fun. Great to be part of the Barry Stephens Personal Training family ���
