FSUK is run by Christian Glinister, a former Royal Marine Commando, and specialist in Olympic weightlifting coaching and strength and conditioning.

There are 4 areas that Christian will focus on within personal training and after an initial consultation with him you will know which objective you are working towards.

Chris handled me at New Zealand Nationals. He got the best out of me posting a pb total of 303kg. Watching him coach his lifters has taught me invaluable lessons which I take into my own coaching career. He’s straight forward and he tells you exactly how to make your lifts better. This is why his lifters have produced these fantastic results.

Since starting the over 60's mat class at create, I am much more aware of my body, how I move and my posture. As a result, I no longer take pain medication for my back!

Fantastic experience: I’m really enjoying working on the exercise program provided for me by Christian and using the app is really easy with videos showing different exercises. I can definitely feel that I am getting stronger and working towards my goals and feel accountable with regular check ins with Christian to keep me on track So a couple of months further on and Christian has helped me navigate my training through shoulder injuries and each week I have managed to increase my strength and also improve the stability of my shoulders left to my own devices I may have lost my way a bit with the injuries but Christian has kept me on track and accountable

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Christain for over 40 odd weeks now and he has been an absolute godsend. He asked me my goals and has pushed me each week in achieving them. I am a coach myself and lost my way training wise as I was just fed up programming myself, and wanted some accountability. I have done mainly online programming with him and then thrown the odd 121 to get beasted by the boss man :) Christain is an amazing coach and has such passion in what he does. It has been good for me to have someone to tell me what to do and push me out of my comfort zone . Plus the banter and the notes I leave him at the end of each session when I send it I over is a crack to lol. I could not recommend this knowledgable guy enough he is simply amazing at what he does.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I have been to Personal Trainers in the past but Christian is a cut above. He listened to my goals and together we have devised a plan of action over the next twelve months to realistically get me to where I need to be. I’m really looking forward to this next phase of my journey I have recommended him to everyone!

Fantastic experience: My time spent training in Functional Strength UK has been great, I've added loads to my exercise library and seen huge improvements in strength and conditioning . Christian breaks down the technical side of the exercises in an easy way to follow. This has given me a good knowledge to plan out sessions and be confident in the gym to complete on my own. Highly recommend anyone looking at Functional Strength UK give Christian a shout and he will help you out anyway he can, top man!

Fantastic experience: I joined the Gym just after coach Christian opened the gym and signed up for 3 months personal training 3 sessions a week. Christian set a plan perfect for my needs and linked to my non professional career as a bang average no nonsense centre half on the Wirral’s football scene. The tailored plans, constant support and new ways of working out transformed my fitness as well as lowering body fat and I excelled on the pitch. I was able to train alone after this with tailored plans whenever required to keep meeting goals. The small community and better attention to detail than other larger establishments really makes the gym a niche in the Wirral gyms and you can’t go wrong here. 5 stars highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Chris helped me build confidence following injury and put me in a great condition for football. He is very knowledgable in his field and prescribed me with a well thought out programme which was specific to my needs. He ticks all the boxes for what you would look for in a coach and is a great person! The gym has a friendly atmosphere and a good range of equipment

Fantastic experience: Working with Christian I have lost over 20kg whilst building muscle mass and more importantly self esteem. Compound movement weight (Squat, Deadlift and Bench) have almost doubled in a year. Highly engaged PT, will always message you to ensure you stay on track! Highly recommend.

Andrew Crosby 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a session with Chris nearly 1 year ago due to bad lower back pain when lifting weights, within a couple of sessions I was pain free and weekly sessions pushed me to lose 2.5 stone in a few months. Now focusing on Olympic Lifting in the weekly sessions and the Wirral Weightlifting Club. Top coach on working towards whatever your goals may be

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Christian for about a year now and I have never felt better. Christian has helped me improve my speed and explosive power aswell as helped me lose weight, giving me not only first-class training in the gym but fantastic nutritional advice. Chris is a phenomenal trainer, perfect mix of drill sergeant and gym buddy. Always pushing you hard but still really supportive. Training with Chris was the best decision I ever made.

Fantastic experience: Chris helped me massively after coming back from a serious muscle injury. Worked with him all throughout the summer before moving to the U.S. to play football. Fittest I've ever been... thank you!
