How Balanced Personal Fitness Training Works
As a Physiotherapy practice our passion is getting you back to fitness and keeping you there. Personal Fitness Training is essential to this journey. We want to empower you with the correct choices and technique to ensure you achive the desired outcome. All to often people know what they want to do but execute it poorly leading to worse outcomes and inevitably back to the physiotherapist. We have the the right person to put you on track and keep you there.
Our Personal Training is at the very best level you could find with Murray MacPherson, who brings together a strong medical background and a passion for preventative health. With a Medical Degree from St George’s Medical School and PT licenses gained in both the US and UK, he takes a lifestyle-first approach to fitness and long-term health. He is a highly qualified trainer who works alongside our physio team to give you the right advice, executing the correct technique to help you achieve your desired goals. Murray is "all in" and you will find he is so much more that a personal trainer.
"Fantastic!! The training plans are second to none and clearly tailored to suit each individual client and their requirements. The thing that sets Murray apart is the level of communication he gives you, he’s always on hand to answer any questions and give you plenty of encouragement along the way."

The Personal Training Studio
Our studio is located at our Colinton Road clinic. It is a brand new space with all the tools to help deliver a top class performace session. Whether you are looking to improve your mobility or your walking, or you are training for an event we can help you. As well as weight machines we use performance testing tools to evaluate strength in limbs and balance of muscles. This creates an accurate measurement of where you are and allows our trained staff to map the correct route for you.
"Murray has been my PT for the past 2 years and its the best decision I’ve made. He has transformed my approach to fitness, nutrition and overall wellbeing and I couldn’t be happier with my results in my overall strength and fitness levels. His sessions are challenging with a mix of cardio and strength but also varied and fun. I always finish with a great sense of achievement looking forward to the next one. He is inspirational and a great motivator and now my approach and views on fitness and health has changed completely. I can’t thank him enough for the impact he has made to my life and confidence levels. I highly recommend him. "

All our personal trianing clients are overseen by the physiotherapy department.

Our team of therapists can all work together using the same notes to deliver an enhanced experience and joined up approach to your fitness. Whether that is with Physiotherapy, Biomechanical or Footcare Podiatry, Clinical Massage or Pilates, Cupping and Needling or Personal Training, it is all together under one system.
"A better pt you could not wish for. I have been with Murray for 3 years now, we been through a lot together his encouragement and humour has seen me through a few mini triathlons and also helped me prepare for the moonwalk 26.2 miles last year in under 7 hours. I know feel in the best possible health and mind space walking 53 miles a week along with my pt sessions. I can’t thank him enough you would be very lucky to have Murray as your personal trainer."

Murray MacPherson
I promote programs that are focused on health giving you an insight to how much exercise is beneficial and what foods heal you rather than hurt you.
Over the years I have seen clients who struggled to walk up and down stairs who are now performing well in triathlons, clients who have reduced their high blood pressure and reversed their type 2 diabetes. I’ve witnessed weight loss of hundreds of kilos and conversions to thriving mental states. The best experience is seeing my clients find a new belief and a new passion in themselves.
I have many success stories and performed 5000+ sessions with clients from all over the world.
- 1:1 Private Sessions or 1:2: Our certified instructor offers sessions tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a personalised approach to meet your goals.
"Murray is my go to guy whenever I need some health or fitness advice. It doesn’t matter if its something related to food or an exercise program, Murray always knows the best solution for what I need to hit my targets and he will back it up with high quality studies and allot of experience. Cannot recommend him enough. His knowledge on how the body works is amazing".
