Forsyth Fitness

Fantastic experience: Boxing training in Edinburgh. Absolutely amazing and exactly what I was looking for, short intense workout and Sandy makes it so much fun! I’m not really a gym person but boxing training keeps me fit, toned and safe - self defence as a bonus! Definitely worth trying!

Fantastic experience: I did pads with Sandy for a couple of months and it was amazing! He’s always ready to get you out of your comfort zone and work hard

Fantastic experience: As a beginner boxer, I felt I needed extra boxing training to improve at a faster rate, so I found Forsyth Fitness in Edinburgh. Sandy's experience and knowledge has really helped in improving my abilities and fitness. I've gained more from his sessions than at a boxing club.

Fantastic experience: I started doing boxing training with Sandy when I was working in Waverley Gate in Edinburgh. I had never really done anything related to boxing before and initially started for the fitness aspect as my main sport was running and I was severely lacking any upper body strength. I had been a bit nervous about starting boxing training as I wasn't sure what to expect. Sandy got me in for a chat to gauge my current fitness, my goals, any experience I had. From the moment I met him I felt more relaxed about starting the training. Sandy started me with the basics, but always made it engaging. I never felt like it was reparative and one of the first things that really struck me was how much there was to boxing. From the punches we moved onto stance, movement, combinations, phases, it was always challenging but never boring. I started getting a real interest in getting the boxing aspect right and for me this became more important than the fitness (which also improved massively from the training). This is where having Sandy, who having a boxing background, was a huge benefit, he understands the sport, gives you real world examples and drives a desire to be better! I trained with Sandy for several years and always felt that there was more to learn, but also that I really wanted to! The only reason I stopped the boxing classes was because I no longer work in Edinburgh, but I still miss my boxing sessions to this day and would absolutely take them up again if I'm back over that way.

Fantastic experience: Sandy is a very good personal trainer from Edinburgh. He has helped me out so much and made me feel a lot more confident in the gym. I really enjoy making goals and reaching them with his help pushing me on.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Sandy over a year ago and he's been fantastic for me! Very positive guy, huge focus on improvement of technique and gradual improvements, which I think shows patience and confidence in what he's doing. I also prefer the emphasis on technique due to previous injuries I've had from various sports, as this helps to hopefully reduce chances of recurrence of old or appearance of new injuries. Can't speak highly enough of his training and support.

Fantastic experience: Really impressed at how Sandy managed to zero in on my goals and provide the correct guidance for me. On top of that, he gave me great advice for when to train (and how to prep) so that I wasn't knackered before I reached the gym in the first place. That, plus top-quality guidance with the lifts involved made it an excellent choice for personal training Edinburgh. Would highly recommend to others.

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend forsythfitness.co.uk. Sandy is an excellent boxing trainer capable of developing your abilities no matter what level ( he boxed for Scotland so he knows what he is talking about) from beginners upwards. Boxing can be done by all and at all ages,( I’m 61). Give it a go, a half hour session costs about the same as a good lunch and is much better for you!

Fantastic experience: Forsyth fitness is hands down best personal trainer in Edinburgh. Sandy helped me get back on track after having my daughter. I was at my heaviest and really struggling to balance work, fitness, being a mum. Sandy taught me to make time wherever I can, he taught me my diet is so important. The way Sandy explained I can still live and eat the things I like but with balance loose weight. I'm now in one of the best places I've been in and it's all thanks to Sandy Forsyth.

Fantastic experience: Been training pads with Sandy for 4 years twice a week. The discipline of turning up to a solid boxing work out from footwork to combo’s has become the foundation of my return to fitness. His professionalism and knowledge of boxing, PT and diet is second to none. Being a dad of three with an equally demanding desk based job meant Sandy’s sessions neatly slotted in to a busy diary and added the balance I needed. Delighted to recommend him anytime.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Sandy for a couple of years and made huge progress, doing both weight training and boxing pad work as I found this a much more enjoyable way of doing cardio that I actually looked forward to (and I for one absolutely hate running!). Then I moved out of Edinburgh, stopped training and lockdown hit. I worked ridiculous hours in a demanding job, and the gym was moved to the bottom of my priorities. I felt I had completely let myself and my body go, but due to circumstances I couldn't control, and this was really hard to deal with mentally. I lost all the muscle & fitness I had built. Sandy reached out with impeccable timing and I ended up back training with him again in July. Despite my previous gym experience I admit I was nervous to go back, and he really helped my confidence - being there with me when I started using the big racks again! I had tried going on my own but felt self-conscious, and didn’t really have a plan. Sandy has helped me work out my goals again and he has been great at encouraging me. He makes sure I don’t rush back into it and injure myself, but still pushes me further than I would push myself if I was working out on my own. It has been great having the consistency of working with someone who knew me when I was at my fittest and what I was capable of, and is now helping me at what I felt was my worst. He’a a genuine person who i have known for a number of years now, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to train with anyone else now that I’ve finally got back into it. Couldn’t recommend him more! Worth every penny

Fantastic experience: Sandy is a top PT, he helped me achieve all my strength conditioning and fitness goals as well providing me with a great food plan. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a personal trainer Edinburgh.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Sandy for 4 years now and he has totally changed my approach to nutrition and training. I associated diets with deprivation and over trained doing mostly HIIT. Through gentle education, Sandy changed all that. Sandy is knowledgeable, supportive and it pains me to say it, hilarious, and makes training fun. He knows how to get the best out of each client, and doesn’t believe in a cookie cutter approach, it’s truly a personalised service. He is currently helping me through my post partum journey having trained me through pregnancy and I’m excited for all the new challenges.

Fantastic experience: Absolute legend, top class. Been training for nearly a year and mix of pad work and strength training has been a game-changer. Top guy, ace PT.

Fantastic experience: Sandy is a great PT who has trained me for 4+ years. As an older client with no gym experience Sandy designed my training sessions recognising how apprehensive I was using the equipment and lifting weights. I would never have achieved the level of fitness I now have had it not been for his encouragement, enthusiasm, humour and endless patience! I would highly recommend Sandy to anyone looking for a trainer who will motivate and assist them to reach their fitness/weight loss goals.

Fantastic experience: Sandy is an enthusiastic and supportive PT. I have trained with him for a number of years on both weights and pads. He'll push you for those extra reps or additional kgs but still make the session fun. Sandy has also provided really useful nutritional advice and encourages a balanced lifestyle and not deprivation. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Sandy and I worked together and he gave me the information, support and confidence to look at exercise and diet in a really positive way. He took account of my back issues when designing a fitness program and this made a huge difference to me. He is a great motivator and is supportive and always realistic in the goals we set together. I have lost weight am a lot fitter but more importantly I am happy with me and Sandy takes huge credit in all of this. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Fantastic experience: Sandy is a fantastic fitness coach and mentor who has transformed my fitness levels and body shape as well as helping to heal a shoulder injury I thought would never go away. I’ve been working with Sandy for 5 years+ and really trust him. He is highly knowledgeable not just on physical training but also on nutrition and how the body works. He combines this with a supportive, positive attitude and a sense of humour which is highly motivating and means I look forward to training. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to maintain or improve their fitness and strength.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out on a regular basis with Sandy for over five years and as a trainer I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is extremely supportive, takes great care that I am exercising correctly for maximum success and pushes me so much further than if I was attempting to exercise on my own. My levels of fitness have increased substantially.

Fantastic experience: Sandy is a highly professional personal trainer. I have been his client for over 7 years and his positive, supportive attitude combined with excellent knowledge on fitness and nutrition is exactly what you want in a PT. I have gone from barely being able to squat or walk on a treadmill to doing 5km runs and 40kilo squats. He has aided with recovery after surgery, working hand in hand with physiotherapist and understands the challenges faced with mental wellbeing/body perceptions. No matter what stage of fitness you are, what your goals are I can confidently say Sandy is your man.

Fantastic experience: Sandy is a really excellent personal trainer. He is always friendly and encouraging - and also is really knowledgeable about the best exercise regimes and diets. I would recommend him to anyone who is hoping to get into better shape!
