My wife and I have been training with Mike for nearly 2 years and the sessions are amazing! We use him twice a week and every session is honestly a challenge and Mike really pushes you to the next level which is exactly what we were looking for in a PT. Our strength and fitness have gone up a good few levels since we started and Mike has great knowledge and keeps you fully motivated during these hour sessions which he constantly mixes up. The gym and set up are excellent as no issues getting equipment like most gyms, free parking outside, great value for money and a great team all round.

I have been attending Mike Heatlie PT for a few months now, it is the best thing I have ever done! I have lost weight, toned up and I now eat a much more healthy diet. This place is not just a gym it helps you to understand how your body works and what fuel it needs. I would highly recommend this to anyone of any age and body shape. Jordan is my trainer and he is full of energy and always up beat (even when I'm not!). He also knows his stuff when it comes to diet and injuries and the right exercises for the bits of your body that get on your nerves! If you need a kick up the bum to get started and to keep going this is the place to go! I would give 10 stars if I could!

I train with Jordan Kynoch at Mike Heatlie's gym and I get great results! They're a no nonsence team of trainers. When you go for your session you'll be working hard for the full hour. They're great at listening and planning to reach your goals. I've trained for years and this is a team that will not let you down. I won't outgrow their sessions because they push me to become stronger!

If you feel uncomfortable and don't like the thought of going into a busy gym because you feel unfit and overweight, then I highly recommend this place! Excellent facilities, and everyone is very friendly, no matter if you're 10 stone or 30 stone! Everyone there is there to tone up, lose weight and enjoy themselves (yes, you read that right!) I have been going for the last month and with Matthew's help I have toned up, lost weight, become fitter and have more energy. It is hard work, and he will make sure you sweat, so don't be fooled that it will be an easy ride, far from it! Definitely worth it though, and Matthew makes it fun and interesting, always changing the exercises each time so it's not boring or dull. I am not a gym bunny by any means, and dreaded the thought of going, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. I urge you to try this studio and can't recommend Matthew enough - you won't be disappointed!

I have been a member of various gyms in Edinburgh, on and off, for the last 15 years but I have never really enjoyed it - maybe I found it difficult to push myself to get the results I wanted! In October 15, I signed up to personal training sessions with Aleksandra and I really haven't looked back. I go twice a week, once with my 14 year old daughter and once on my own, and we both really enjoy our sessions. Aleksandra is great, so encouraging, and just makes both of us feel as if we want to push a bit harder. Each session is different - we never get bored. The hour just flies by and even though we're both exhausted by the end of it, it's such an invigorating feeling and I wouldn't even think of cancelling a session because 'I can't be bothered.' It's such a wide range of people who go there and I have never felt awkward or embarrassed that I couldn't do an exercise very well. All the trainers, whilst being incredibly friendly are fully focussed on getting results for their clients, and the equipment is excellent. Worth every penny.

Just finished my first block at Mike's gym and have already signed up for my second! Fantastic place with great facilities and friendly atmosphere, whilst also able to get down to serious business. I noticed a massive difference in my physique after a few sessions and my trainer has really brought back my fitness motivation. Amazing place, great results!! Love it.

C. K.

I started training in March to lose weight and get fitter. I had only planned on taking a bloc of 12 sessions but I enjoyed training so much that I signed up for another bloc, and then another etc. My trainer Marek makes sure that every session is differen; it’s always challenging, never boring and, believe it or not, good fun, too. So thank you both, Marek and Mike, and keep up the good work!

M. Y.

We did weekly couples PT sessions with Mike for about a year and it was a great experience. Mike made the training fun but challenging. Would recommend to anyone looking for Personal Training. Thanks so much Mike, you were a slave driver but great! Helen & Matt

J. G.

Great gym that I can't recommend enough. Mike and the team are really friendly, and push you to achieve your goals. The gym is clean, has good equipment and the sessions are value for money.

O. H.

The gym is just wonderful, as are the trainers. Finlay has taught me how to enjoy exercise (to an extent!) and we are in the process of changing my body! I would recommend this place to anyone - it has a great atmosphere and a friendly attitude towards health, fitness and diet.

A. R.

every time i train at mike heatlie's gym i feel comfortable and motivated when im working out. recently started back up and being training with billy, he is a very good trainer and has really good knowledge of personal training,i would highly recommend this personal training programme. jay ali

I was regular gym goer before I started training at Mike's gym in November. I went a few times a week but I wasn't really seeing the results I wanted. Since I started the personal training I have noticed a huge difference in my fitness level. I know the most effective exercises, what to eat and when. Even now I am still seeing the improvements and I'm more motivated then ever! The studio is private and not intimidating like public gyms. Everyone is really friendly, the trainers and fellow clients! My trainer, Stuart, is a great motivator and knows how hard to push you. He gives great advice and is always happy to answer any questions (no matter how silly you think they are). If you want to get in shape but not sure where to start..........this is the place to go. Mike and his team will get you on the right track! Be prepared to work hard but you will see and feel the difference ........ I know I am!

Stockholm syndrome: Feelings of trust or affection felt in many cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim towards a captor. In all seriousness, I've tried solo gym efforts a few times before. Once the initial buzz and enthusiasm wore off, the sessions dry up like Death Valley in August. Mike offers first-class personal training! First-class facilities, first-class enthusiasm, first-class knowledge and second-class banter. All these attributes combine to create a winning formula where Mike has pushed myself and my mate to great levels of fitness!

Had a great time with Mike. We planned a three months-long preparation (March-June 2018)to get ready for a couple of BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) tournaments and I had been carefullyn and professionally assisted throughout the whole process: I eventually arrived in Florence for the Italian BJJ championship feeling in great shape and winning the title. A concrete and great result!!

A. H.

Great gym with experienced, professional personal trainers who know how to get results. I have been training at Mike's for 18 months and it has transformed my strength. I would highly recommend.

A. O.

Mike and the crew are the people to train with. Very helpful and skilled trainers who are also really fun and friendly. Studio will have a wide range of exercise machines and numerous types of weights. Flexible booking hours also very helpful.

Love training here and love my trainer, Aleksandra!! My goal has been to lose some weight, DONE! To increase my fitness, Done! To become stronger, DONE! Something I have never been able to achieve throughout the years of going it alone either at home or at the gym or jumping around my living room doing Insanity! I can honestly say I have been excited to come along for every session and always feel great afterwards! Don't get me wrong I have never been so sweaty as I am at the end of the hour with Aleksandra. She is the perfect trainer for me, she pushes me beyond what I think I can do and has let me try out new things that otherwise I would never have done! Think the service here is great! So much so that I have just signed up for another block of training!! So excited to see even more changes happen :)

J. K.

What an amazing place this is! I arrived here having been on various diets and other attempts to lose weight and get fit. Wasn't sure a gym was going to work for me but I was desperate. I have been amazed at how the support I have been given has made it so easy to lose 2 stone and at 52 years old I feel fitter than I ever have. There is such a nice friendly atmosphere and desire to help they make it feel easy. Can't recommend enough!

S. P.

Have trained here before and have known the trainer for over 20 years. A very astute and knowledgable trainer on all aspects of fitness, his numerous qualifications pay testimony to this. Whatever you are looking for regarding fitness you'll find it here tenfold!!! The gym is spacious and well equipped, clean and tidy. Make this your first stop when searching for fitness and health improvement!!!

X. Z.

I trained with Aleksandra for nearly two months before Christmas, it was the first time I had ever trained at a gym and LOVED every minute of it! She pushed me very hard and would never ever let up. I was left absolutely spent at the end of each session - but that was the whole point! I felt great afterwards and saw some very encouraging results! I'm definitely going to come back in the new year! Xin

C. P.

The Studio is FABULOUS. A quick note to say thank you to STUART for continuing to motivate me to reach my fitness goals. You are an amazing trainer and I look forward to our continuing sessions. Highly recommended. Clara Edinburgh

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with PTSD. I was really ill and tried lots of different treatments with varying results. When I started training with Aleksandra at MHPT, it was like a mental reprogram! This gym has a very positive environment and has not only helped me mentally - I've lost 2 stone and gained heaps of confidence. I owe a special thanks to Aleksandra and wholeheartedly recommend MHPT to anyone looking to start or improve a healthy lifestyle :-)

I had my son four years ago and although I have tried several times and joined countless gyms I have really struggled to lose my baby weight. I had never tried a personal trainer but my sister had started going to Mike's gym and was doing really well which is why I decided to give it a try. I have been going since May this year, I go once a week and get advice and guidance on my diet as well as a work out plan. I have lost a stone in weight and 5 inches from my waist. I feel so much better about myself. Having a personal trainer keeps me motivated and pushes me to go to the gym where in the past I probably would have put if off. The gym itself is great, with a really good range of equipment. The fact that you can always get on the equipment you want is a huge bonus. In other gyms I found I spent most of my time on CV equipment as free weight rooms/areas were predominantly occupied with body building males which I found as a woman - not in particularly good shape, quite intimidating. That's not the case at all in Mike's gym, I feel really comfortable. All the trainers are really welcoming and professional. I travel from Perth every week to visit Mike's gym and it is definitely worth it. I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Big thanks to Mike and his team.

D. B.

Booking sessions at the studio is the best thing I done for myself last year. The studio is very private, has a great range of equipment, and Mike and my trainer Kyle are really friendly, knowledgeable and motivational.

L. M.

Amazing gym and lovely people. My partner and I have been working with Mike and are loving the experience. No judgement at all and made to feel comfortable from the start.

A. S.

Great gym - first class trainers and equipment! Everyone is really friendly and welcoming, and because it personal training only there's no queues for equipment and the majority of the time you only have to share the gym with a couple of other people, sometimes you even get the whole place to yourself!

J. L.

I have just finished 12 weeks of personal training with Billy and he was fantastic and has given me the push I needed to keep up my fitness and I have now joined a gym. I would recommend Mike and Billy to anyone interested in just getting that little bit fitter. Well done guys. Gary Lucas

m. m.

Best Personal Training EVER!! This Studio is FABULOUS. I really like to go every class to see my PT Allan, he is very nice and ready to help and support you. He is very patient too, hahahaha. Ruben, Madrid-Edinburgh

G. S.

Mike's set up is great and he is a fantastic PT. He is positive, encouraging and focused and is good at making training fit my goals.

A. Z.

The best thing about the Studio is the privacy. It's just the trainers and the clients which ensures a really private and personal service, especially since a lot of the clients would rather not exercise in a big gym.

K. M.

Milke’s sense of fun and joie de vivre make coming to do an hours graft seem much more bearable! He pushes you hard but takes a person centred approach being aware of individual limitations. I have lost weight, feel better and keep coming back for more. Would highly recommend either the personal sessions or the lean body bootcamp Kath

P. L.

I would recommend this gym to anyone. Well equipped and the staff are friendly. My trainer, Persia, makes each session very fun but also very productive.

A. D.

I have been there a while ago for trial session. Nice PT's. Good gym equipment but the place not so good. Terrible changing room and shower. The place overall need some deep cleaning. Hope that they gonna get some renovation for changing room and cleaners.

M. Y.

After losing the motivation to go to the gym on my own in the summer, I saw Mike's gym provides a 12 session package with good price, I decided to join in to gain muscles and enhance my energy level. My trainer Stuart is professional, extremely patient and encouraging. He keeps me motivated and pushes me hard with kindness. I feel stronger and more energetic after only a few weeks. I would highly recommend Mike's gym and my trainer Stuart.

S. “. C.

So glad that I started training with Mike. Training sessions are "no-nonsense", very focussed and effective! Very well worth the money spent! Thanks, Mike, for keeping me motivated - I am loving it! Silvie :-)

B. K.

Friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere and great results, only draw back is having to buy a whole new wardrobe for that new fit hotter body. A big thank to Stuart for putting me through my paces and helping me get a butt you can bounce coins off.

T. C.

Great wee gym. Friendly atmosphere & not intimidating, with professional trainers who look after your welfare. Sessions go quickly !

M. M.

Mike Is a fabulous personal trainer, the best I’ve been to. Great Studio, private, great trainers and equipment, highly recommend it!

B. B.

One of the best gym in Edinburgh! Well equiped and clean. Highly recommend!

C. O.

Great gym, great equipment, great personal trainers and great value - I couldn't recommend this place highly enough if you're looking to get in shape.

K. K.

I lost 46lbs working with Mike. His help, encouragement and advice was invaluable. Would highly recommend!

D. D.

G. H.

Great gym and trainers! Make you feel at ease and really motavate you! Love training here :D

Lost a stone throughout my sessions. Fantastic one to one training with my PT, Craig. Can't recommended highly enough. Thanks guys.

A friend recommended Mike to me about 2 years ago but as I already had a gym membership and went regularly, it seemed daft to see a personal trainer too. As I got busier at work the gym sessions gradually declined and I felt that I didn't really have time to fit training into my hectic schedule. Finally 8 weeks ago I decided that drastic action was needed so I contacted Mike. He was very enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable and had me training within 2 days of meeting up! Booking 15 sessions meant that I HAD to make time to exercise. My trainer is really friendly and a great motivator and I really look forward to our sessions. We never do the same workout twice which keeps it interesting and I can't just decide to skip a session as I'd be letting him down. My strength has increased dramatically since I started and I've dropped a dress size! My gym shy husband has also booked 15 sessions and is seeing brilliant results after just 3 weeks, so much so that we've decided to carry on long term but training together instead! This is a great option for busy couples who also want to save some cash. Frankly, I wish I'd done this years ago and I can't recommend the gym and staff highly enough. If you've been thinking about doing PT and want real results just pick up the phone, you won't look back!

J. C.

Great gym and facility away from the hustle and bustle of commercial gym settings.

T. W.

A great place to have a tough workout but in a relaxed, fun environment.

M. H.

Great gym! Highly reccomend :)

C. N.

I've been training at Mike's studio since February 2013 with Craig. I was originally training to get fit for my wedding in June but I enjoyed the sessions so much that I decided to continue them afterwards. Craig is very knowledgeable, professional and good at kicking your butt! The gym's really well equipped and I've never been so fit in all my life. Really determined to keep the good work up now!

j. m.

Not bad

I am so happy that I joined the Mike Heatlie Personal Training community a little over a month ago. The first time I entered the gym I was so surprised at how positive the atmosphere was with both the staff and clients. Mike was so warm, welcoming, and easy to talk to at my first consult, and he matched me up with the most perfect trainer for me. Ruairi plans very hard, but equally effective workouts, and is always there with encouragement to help me through them. Every session is different and I'm finding that I actually enjoy working out now. I've lost almost 10 pounds already and am getting stronger every day. I'm loving the changes that I'm seeing and feeling with my body, and I highly recommend Mike Heatlie and Ruairi for anybody that is looking to make positive, healthy changes in their life. :)

Over the past 6 years I have had two kids (both c-sections), plus major stomach surgery and two ankle operations. Exercise was not really an option for me during all the recoveries and therefore I piled on the weight. At my heaviest I weighed in at 12 stone. I had pretty much had enough of feeling rubbish in my skin, as well as all my clothes and decided it was time to put the hard work in to make a difference. I found Mike Heatlie's gym on google and was assigned Craig as my trainer 4 weeks ago. Craig is brilliant and his sessions are tough but stepping on the scales each week and seeing the weight drop off is definitely worth it. It really is the best thing I've done in years and so far I've lost a stone :-)

f. l.

Great place, great PT's. Highly recommended!

A. B.

Good , !!

Great place, run by a fantastic guy!

I have been going to the gym regularly for years and have always remained consistent, however when you feel like your are working hard but not seeing the results it can be a little demotivating and after a few, shall we say, unflattering holiday photos, I decided it was time to step things up a gear and signed up with Mike. I've now been working with Ross (one of the team of great trainers at the studio) since February and saw more results in two months than I had in years on my own at the gym. Ross makes every session fun, challenging and different, its the quickest hour of my day! Ross is very knowledgeable and creative with the workouts which means I never get bored and always feel like I'm progressing. The great thing about Mike's studio is that its designed specifically for personal training so there's no queues for equipment, its not crowded and the trainers are flexible in terms finding time slots that suit your daily life. Everyone is really friendly and you are immediately put at ease. I can honestly say that I look forward to my sessions each and every week, even the aching muscles that follow that next day :) I think I've lost about 7lbs, a good few inches off the waist and feel better than ever. Best decision I could have made and would recommend Mike Heatlie Personal Training to anyone.

I've been training at Mike’s gym for a year and a half now and I really enjoy it. I lost about stone in weight in the first 3 months and have kept it off. I train twice a week but how often you train is up to you. It’s a great Gym, everyone is really friendly and there is always a nice atmosphere. I was a bit nervous when I was heading for my first session as I had presumed that I’d be walking into a very masculine environment but it’s not like that at all. A lot of the time there are more women than men training and there are male and female trainers too. My trainer is Marek and he’s really knowledgeable about health and fitness and has given me loads of advice on my diet too, no two training sessions are the same as he always puts something new into the mix so there is no chance of ever getting bored. The Personal Trainers work you really hard and push you that bit harder than you would if you were training on your own. I've been a member of a couple of Gyms in Edinburgh but if you are serious about your health and fitness this is by far the best place to be. It’s one of the best things I've done.

J. S.

I've always been someone who didn't see the point in personal trainers. I always thought you were paying someone to stand and watch you exercise. I couldn't have been more wrong!!! After seeing some of the results on the website I decided to sign up and give it a go. I can honestly say it's the best decision I ever made. Right from the very first session I have been given nothing but encouragement. My first session with Mike was scary but positive, and brutally honest!! If you don't put in the effort you won't get the results. Simple!! My trainer is Stuart and he is a god send. He is there pushing me to my limits but making me believe I can do it. And I can!! He gives me constant feedback and advice and is so supportive. The facilities in the studio are fantastic. I love the privacy and not having the feeling of intimidation as I've had in public gyms. I signed up for the "lose 10 pounds" package. I actually lost 1 stone in the 5 weeks. I can't recommend the studio enough. It's been nothing but a positive experience. Yes, it's hard work but the feeling you get after completing your session is amazing. It encourages you to keep going and look forward to the next session. Obviously it's more expensive than a "normal" gym membership but it's worth every single penny.

S. H.

If you are considering a Personal Trainer the look no further than Mike and his team of trainers. I have been attending for a number of months and am delighted with my body transformation. Mike set me up with Stuart and from day one he has pushed and supported me, helping me achieve my goals and more. I cannot speak highly enough of Stuart and indeed any of the other trainers I have used on occasion, the motivation and encouragement provided has been great. There is a real friendly atmosphere in the gym, it is really well equipped and never any waiting to use equipment while someone takes 15 minutes to complete their 4 sets as is often the case in other gyms. As a famous sports brand says Just Do It, you will not regret it.

A. C.

I started training with Mike last year, I wanted to improve my overall fitness & strength. Initially I was nervous but to my surprise I really enjoy the sessions so much so that after my first block of sessions finished I signed up straight away for another block. I have a long standing shoulder injury which Mike takes into consideration & adapts the exercises around this. I have found Mike to be very approachable & has been extremely flexible when I need to rearrange sessions.

K. T.

I joined Mike's studio about 3 weeks ago to take advantage of the 12 sessions for £275 on offer. I was paired with Kerry who has been brilliant! The studio has all the equipment you could need, the staff are really friendly and helpful and were willing to accommodate my request for 6am starts! The team help you set realistic goals and give you more than enough encouragement along the way. The studio is perfect for PT sessions and is a far more relaxed environment than a busy gym. I thoroughly recommend personal training here!

J. W.

I initially signed up for a 12 session block at Mike's studio. Used to doing mostly long distance running I was looking to add a bit of strength and become more confident in using weights at the gym (as I previously had zero) What I got from going to Mike's gym was so much more! The sessions are 1 on 1 and the gym is very quiet as well as being very well equipped. Mike and particularly my trainer Andrea have been absolutely fantastic in their knowledge and motivational skills, no judgements at all no matter the skill set. Also very good at putting up with my whinging! I was so surprised at how much of a difference I felt even within a few weeks - the results have been so rewarding I've been going 2-3 x weekly the past 3 months and I love every session. It's changed my running and the way I think about fitness in general. Definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made, highly recommend!

K. H.

I started going to Mike's gym with my boyfriend around a year and a half ago. It was the first time I'd used Mike's gym or even had personal training but my boyfriend had used his gym before and highly recommended it. I instantly liked it and didn't feel self conscious about using equipment (particularly weights) like I do in a public gym. The trainers were really friendly and helpful and I noticed them train people of all ages and abilities. We were trained by Mike and he was great - reallly knowledgable, good fun and professional. He also pushed us out of our comfort zone and I am now much fitter and stronger than ever before, even when I was regularly attending local gym classes. When I started going to Mike's gym I was really overweight and uncomfortable but have now lost the weight I wanted for my wedding next week. I would never has lost this without the support and encouragement of Mike! Highly recommend this gym!

S. K.

If you want results, you need to go to Mike! I was looking to get tone and build strength and muscle. Mike has done this and given me more. He teaches me new exercises, working on different muscles groups that I've not even felt before. He is friendly, approachable and as tough our workouts can be we can also have a good laugh together - this makes the training even more enjoyable. I cannot recommend Mike enough and can't ever imagine training without him. Thanks for your efforts Mike - Personal Training at it's BEST!

D. G.

I had been losing weight through diet alone but had reached a plateau and knew I had to introduce exercise but was not confident enough to join a gym. A quick search of personal trainers online brought up the Mike Heatlie Personal Training Studio. After reading the reviews I decided to give it a go and it's been one of my best decisions ever! It was still scary sending that initial email and going for my first meeting with Mike but I was immediately put at ease, there is no judgement here just people that want to help you. The facilities are great and as it's one on one there is no waiting around to use the equipment. My trainer Stuart has been fantastic, lots of advice (diet and exercise) and very supportive. Never thought I would enjoy going to the gym! It is hard work but the results are so worth it. I signed up for the lose 10lbs in 5 weeks programme and lost 1 stone in the 5 weeks, and I'm still losing and getting fitter each week. 2 work colleagues joined after seeing the results that I was getting. I really can't recommend the studio enough.

M. M.

I have been attending Mike Heatlie PT for a few months now with my girlfriend and, although it is hard work, I have enjoyed every minute of it. My goal was really to break the monotony of going to the gym, to make sure I was getting the most out of my sessions and to take training to the next level. The sessions are always varied and focused on what you, as an individual, are trying to achieve. You definitely know you have done a work-out when you are finished, and feel better for it. The trainers are a massive part of why this gym is so successful. We have had two in our time there, Katie and Jordan, and both have been brilliant. They have always kept the sessions interesting, tailoring them to what we want to achieve and do very well to keep us motivated while making sure we are working hard towards our goals. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone, of any age, and at any level of fitness.

T. D.

I joined Mike's Personal Training Studio a few months ago. I was steadily putting on weight and I had lost all motivation to do any exercise. That's when I decided something needed to be done! I googled personal trainers in Edinburgh and found Mikes personal training studio had amazing reviews... I thought "this is the one for me". So I took the first big step and contacted Mike. He emailed me back straight away and answered all my questions, and when I went round and met him he made me feel at ease, he is so friendly and down to earth. Mike assigned Ashley to be my trainer... and I couldn't be happier!!! Ashley pushes me and motivates me in every session. She is just so lovely. I feel really comfortable around Ashley and in the gym... and we do have a good laugh. The gym itself is really well equipped, and there is absolutely no waiting around to use equipment! Which is great! I am now steadily loosing weight and inches, I'm starting to feel good about myself again. I would definitely recommend Mike Heatlie Personal Training to anyone that wants to start feeling good about themselves again!

J. W.

I've never been one for training with gym equipment and spent years doing repetitive fitness classes with little improvement to my fitness levels or physique. Six weeks before my wedding I decided to use the time wisely and signed up for 12 PT sessions to really push myself. After a chat with Mike he booked me in with Stuart. I was extremely nervous going to the studio for the first time and I found it all a bit embarrassing! But Stuart is a great trainer. He's really positive, encouraging and has has built up my confidence a lot.. despite my constant whinging! All the trainers and Mike are really welcoming and its not an intimidating place to work out. I was shocked to see results so quickly and have continued with the sessions after my wedding. Even though its tough I look forward to training now. I highly recommend you give it a try.

N.

Mike was really approachable from the first time I met him, came up with a plan and was really knowledgeable in the advice he was giving. Sessions are hard but worth it! The gym is real spacious and is always kept clean. You usually have the gym to yourself, if not only a couple people to share with so plenty access to all equipment. Could not recommend it enough (been going 5 months now).

H. R.

I have been attending Mike's gym for almost 18 months now. I stopped for three months and then returned because of the standard of the personal training I receive (my trainer is Greg) and the value for money. Normally I hate gyms, but Mike's gym is friendly, professional and non-threatening. He chooses his trainers with care and after the initial consultation with him, he allocates a trainer. He matched me well with Greg in terms of personality and what motivates me. I can highly recommend Mike's gym and also my trainer.

K.

Absolutely love training here! It's such a friendly and pleasant environment to train in and my strength and fitness has improved more than I could have hoped for when I first started. I train with Billy every week and he knows just how hard to push me and how to get me to achieve things I once thought were impossible. Mike is great too and it's really nice to be greeted by a friendly face each week who is keen to see how you are getting on. I thoroughly recommend signing up. You won't regret it.

G. M.

I started attending personal training at Mike Heatlie about 2 months ago with a view to improving my general all round fitness. Already I am seeing great results. My trainer, Stuart, has been pushing me really hard in our sessions as well as giving advice on diet. My strength and fitness have dramatically increased and I am feeling a huge improvement in my general all round health, such as sleeping better and having more energy. I can highly recommend this fitness studio.

I have been training at the gym for around 5 months and I can't speak highly enough of my experience there. Mike is a knowledgeable trainer who is also a great motivator, and the studio is a perfect environment to work out in. A great space with a wide range of equipment and never a need to wait for access. I do 2 one hour sessions a week with Mike and I really do look forward to them, and have definitely seen really good results, I feel like I'm constantly improving in fitness and in strength. Keep up the great work!

I was welcomed into Mike’s gym while on a weekend trip to Edinburgh - felt like I was a regular gym member within minutes. Mike is a great trainer with a lot of knowledge, puts you through your paces with plenty of craic while you’re at it. Really well equipped gym too. Hope to be back soon, thanks! Alex

I’ve been going to this personal training studio for the last 2 years. It’s really quite a unique facility in Edinburgh in that it’s really well equipped, while being mostly available just for personal training, hence you get the best of both worlds. Mike is one of the best, if not ther best qualified personal trainers in Scotland, in terms of experience and academics. As a consequence, he not only provides a first class PT experience himself, but also hand picks a selection of quality trainers, and then matches you with one based their specialism, and on your needs. Additionally, it’s no more expensive than you pay in a standard gym, where you get none of the privacy you do in Mike’s studio. Highly recommended!

J. G.

So far the trainers have been brilliant. Mike is a lovely guy who promoted the concept of looking fit, unlike a lot of personal trainers I have seen and met who don't look like they train properly themselves. The two trainers he has set me up with are very, very knowledgeable. The training has been very enjoyable and leave me feeling energised and worked. The gym itself is very well equipped and the fact that you are there with only a couple of other people makes the cost worthwhile.

m. r.

I've not long completed a block of training and would definitely recommend Mike Heatlie Personal Training. My trainer Stuart was amazing, always switching up the routines making sure I couldn't lift my hairdryer for an extended period of time later on that day. I don't think I left any of these sessions feeling no aches and always felt I had been put through my paces. Stuart was and is a great trainer and has helped me loads the last few months all the other trainers within the gym are also really friendly and easy to chat to :)

N. K.

I have recently booked in for my fourth block of sessions because I have been absolutely thrilled with the results so far! My trainer Finlay has managed to keep me motivated through encouragement and also by varying the exercises every session, keeping things challenging but also enjoyable. Mike and the rest of his team are all very friendly and have managed to create an approachable space where anybody would be comfortable to work out in. I always look forward to going to the gym now and I would recommend Mike's studio to anyone looking to get fit, lose weight or change their lifestyle.

Mike Heatlie's personal training is one of the most cost effect ways to receive a high end personal training service. Staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable specially if this is something you are concerned about in a gym environment. The hard work in the gym and healthy eating at home with guidance from the trainers really makes such a difference in the way you feel and the relationship I had with food. I am a massive binge eater and my trainer has made me change my way of thinking - everything within moderation, I am not to starve myself but to make better choices. Billy is a superb trainer and is extremely passionate about fitness and well-being which is completely obvious from first meeting him. Mike the owner is so friendly and to be honestly I would not go anywhere else.

A. E.

I joined Mike's studio a few months ago and its the best move I've ever made! I've been training with Stuart and he's a really outstanding personal trainer. He's been really good at giving me the drive and motivation to get fit, so much so that I now really look forward to going to my training sessions! I would highly recommend joining the studio as it's been worth every penny and you're sure to see brilliant results.

G. H.

Mike and the team are fantastic. Having not had a great experience with a PT previously Mike and Kyle have worked with me to develop a program I feel comfortable with and I'm seeing great results. The gym is great and as it's private you're never waiting for machines and usually have a room/section all to yourself. Can't recommend them enough, amazing value.

r. m.

I was recommended Mikes Personal Training Studio by a friend. I am half way through my 10 weeks and I am loving it. I exercise regularly but I was needing helping to push myself. The studio is very well equipped and never too busy that you have to wait for machines like in other gyms. The trainers really motivate and push you to work hard and already I can see the benefits to my fitness levels and my body. Fantastic! Thanks Mike!

I have been training with Mike since February now and it has been by far the best investment in my own health and fitness that I have ever made. I haven't ever met anyone like Mike, his energy, enthusiasm and optimism is incredible. He is more than just a trainer and works to get the best from his clients. I was not only guided to gain physical strength but mental strength and well-being too. As soon as you arrive- you're welcomed and it's not long before you're empowered to train hard. With Mike's P.T sessions, I haven't once hesitated on showing up and probably to his surprise never checked the clock during each session 😆 Before I started, I was kidding myself thinking I could never afford a personal trainer while at the same time I would happily spend most of my money on takeaways and junk food etc. It was a harsh reality to face the facts of my declining health and poor eating habits but you cannot dream yourself into shape, you have to hammer and forge yourself into one. I'm so glad I turned to Mike for his help. Within the first month, there were visible results prompting encouraging compliments from my nearest and dearest and even Mike too. Four months in now and I'm three stone lighter, more energetic, focused but most importantly in a better place mentally. It's difficult to articulate how grateful I am to Mike but I'm hoping someone else reading this who is wishing and dreaming of a better self, will do themselves a favour by signing up with Mike. You won't regret it. Just do it ✔️

C. C.

Having been with Mike for roughly 2 years now, it's honestly hard to vision my exercise regime without him. During that time, we've ever increasingly built my strength & endurance, while learning countless techniques I've taken with me to use at my home or public gym. Mike has been nothing but friendly, supportive and immensely encouraging with my training, and even once I reach my goal weight/size, I don't see myself dropping my training with him. The gym itself is packed with excellent equipment, is cleanly and a positive & welcoming environment. Highly recommended for those seeking personal and highly professional training. Thanks Mike!

I've joined Mike's studio to get in shape, increase stamina and gain some muscle tone. The weight was not an issue for me, however during the first 3 weeks I've lost 2 kg, just by following dietary advice of my trainer. Now I'm finishing my second month with Stuart and I couldn't be happier about the results- every day I'm getting stronger, fitter and have a lot of energy. I've lost a total of 4,5 kilos without even trying, just by lifting whatever he tells my to lift=) Stuart is an excellent trainer- friendly and fun, but also strict and tough when necessary, he's a great motivator and gave me lots of awesome advices regarding training and diet. I would have never achieve these results without Mike's studio, I would've juts kept going to the gym, like I was for the past years and wasting my time without any effect on my body. Joining Mike's training studio is a best thing you can do, if you care about your body and health.

J. B.

I've going to Mike's gym for over a year now and it's the best thing I've ever done. I've lost weight, toned up and now eat a healthy diet. My big fear of gym's was that everyone is watching you but at Mike's gym that's not the case. My trainer Katie made me feel right at home from day one and makes each session fun it doesn't feel like working out until the next day. I would highly recommend Mike's gym for anyone whatever your goals are in fitness are.

G. M.

I joined Mike's studio about 2 months ago to get in improve general fitness and tone / shape up certain muscles I hadn't used in ages! I'm finishing my second month with Gregg and noticed the results already. Feeling better and noticibly seeing some strength results. The atmosphere is perfect as its a great size gym for personal 1 to 1 stuff. I would highly recommend using Mikes for any personal training.

A. D.

I came to Mike Heatlie's Personal Training studio because after having a sedentary lifestyle for several years, I had lost most of my fitness and needed a kick start. Craig was assigned as my Personal Trainer and has been terrific! I really look forward to my sessions which are varied, challenging and interesting. Craig has also been a great source of motivation and nutritional advice too. Since starting my training here I have seen a phenomenal improvement in my fitness, particularly strength, and I feel healthier! The studio itself is brilliant, very well equipped and has a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Very highly recommended.

g. f.

I’ve used a few Personal Trainers in the past with mixed results but Mike Heatlie’s Personal Training Studio really made a huge difference for me. Firstly Mike meets with you and works on a plan for achieving your goals and specifically a diet plan as I needed to lose at least three stone. The Studio is private which is great and it feels really personal, very good equipment also. The training is very hard, but I really needed that, and even though I struggled I did feel a hell of a lot better after it. After only 12 weeks I had lost the three stone which I was over the moon about and I’m going to Mike’s gym twice a week as I get so much out of it, binned my gym membership, wasn’t using it. Mike’s Studio is definitely the place to go if you have weight to lose or a specific goal in mind as you’ll work to a plan and are pushed to your limits but this is what gets the results, it did for me anyway. Thanks to Mike and all his team!"

C. C.

I have been attending Mike's gym for around 16 weeks now. After initially meeting with Mike, I had the pleasure of being paired with Amanda. I had decided to run the Edinburgh marathon this year and it was her task to help me make it to the end! I cannot speak highly enough of Amanda as a trainer, her knowledge, enthusiasm and motivation have helped me tremendously. The gym itself is well equipped and a great place to work out!

A. A.

I signed up to Mike Heatlie Personal Training in April and can honestly say I have never felt or looked better. I was nervous to begin with as previous gym memberships had been unsuccessful and had left me doubting whether I'd ever lose weight or enjoy exercise. From my first meeting with Mike, I was put at ease and felt supported and knew I could ask Mike or one of his trainers anything relating to diet and exercise and they would provide me with an answer. By following Mike's advice I lost 13lbs in my first 2 weeks, 3 stones in 3 months and have now lost a total of 4 stones 5lbs and have gone from a dress size 16 to a size 8. I have a healthy lifestyle and now even enjoy exercise!! I cannot thank Mike and his team enough for their encouragement and support and would highly recommend you give it a go!!

I started training at Mike Heatlie Personal Training around 2 years ago. I initially joined to get healthy, fit and in shape for my wedding and loved the results from regular sessions with my trainer Stuart. Stuart pushed me harder than any fitness class at a regular gym had before and, combined with a good diet, I saw results quickly. I started to enjoy going to the gym more than I ever had done and continued with Stuart throughout my subsequent pregnancy. Stuart adapted our sessions to suit my changing body and energy levels but helped me to maintain a great fitness level throughout. I'm now back at the gym with Stuart, working to get back to pre-pregnancy fitness and loving every minute of it! Fiona

J. D.

I started training at this gym a couple of months ago with Stuart after getting in touch with Mike. I decided to join up as I wanted to tone up and strengthen my body as I was starting to worry about the effects a degenerative musculoskeletal disorder was having on my long term health. Since starting with Stuart not only have I lost weight and inches but I've become fitter and stronger. I hardly ever suffer from fatigue anymore (brought on by my condition) and my posture is much better. Each session is different so you never know what to expect and you're never bored with training! The gym itself has such a fantastic atmosphere with fun and friendly staff. I couldn't recommend Mike's gym highly enough!!

K. t.

If there is one person that hates exercise and the daunting thoughts of the Gym, it's myself. Recommended by a friend and being so impressed with the results, I had to give it a go! Myself and my friend decided we needed something a bit more stable as going to a regular gym together was just no good and it didn't motivate us enough. Mike was professional and friendly from the outset and our goals were achievable. 6 weeks in and I can honestly say I can never look back. It's exactly what I needed to push myself back into shape. I have a few medical issues including 2 hip operations and 1 pending and Mike knew exactly how to handle me and what's even better is my operation has been delayed as i've lost the weight that was clearly breaking down my hips. I'm sitting at around 7.5inches lost over all and i'm at my lowest weight in over 4 years! The workouts are great and he does push you and motivate you in the right way, rather than being too pushy. It's the first gyming/exercise experience I can honestly say I enjoy going to twice a week. Pricing is great, the gym is well equipped (though bring your own boxing gloves as you need a good wash after using the gym ones!) and you are never on top of each other. Gone are the days waiting on machines or feeling embarrassed about exercising in front of fitness perfect people! Everyone is there on a one to one (or one to two) personal training and there only ever is trainers or clients in the gym. Thank you so much Mike for everything so far! Excited for the next block to begin!

L.

After deciding that we needed more motivation than just a gym membership, my friend and I decided to look into getting a personal trainer. Mike was professional and friendly from the outset and helped us set achievable goals and diet plans. The workouts are challenging but still fun, and incorporate both weight training and cardio. The gym itself is great as it is very well equipped but nice and quiet (as its only the trainers and the clients that use it) - you don't have to worry about exercising in front of people! I genuinely look forward to the sessions each week and despite only attending 2 sessions/week for 6 weeks, I have already lost almost a stone in weight and 7 inches from my waist and hips. I would definitely recommend Mike if you are needing motivation to get in shape and/or feel intimidated by public gyms.

M. R.

I love training here with Aleksandra, it's welcoming and friendly and I always feel comfortable which has not been the case at other gyms! When I train it's always quiet, there's a good variety of equipment and the people are lovely. I've seen amazing results, and have lost over a stone and a half so far, but I also feel stronger and fitter. So glad I found the studio, I would recommend it to anyone at any level looking to get a bit healthier.

S. L.

I started at Mike Heatlie Personal Training after a heavy year of indulgence and with 3 weddings looming in the year to come I needed to get back into shape. The fitness classes in my gym were not inspiring me and frankly not cutting it. My boyfriend recommended Mike's gym and specifically trainer Stuart Malcolm to get me into shape as Stuart worked wonders on him the previous year. The whole team at the gym are friendly and the atmosphere is positive which put me at ease during my first daunting sessions. Stuart is always patient and understanding but will continually challenge and push me to reach my fitness goals. I have lost weight, toned up and I am stronger and fitter than ever before. I have now been through 4 blocks which is true testament to the continual results I am getting with Stuart. I would recommend him and the gym to anyone looking for sustainable results and an all round education in their health.

L. W.

Having previously attended Mike's gym with a 1:1 trainer, I have been attending his boot camp sessions that have been running since last year. The full body work out circuits have progressively built up my strength and confidence using the various machines. Mike has an incredibly warm and enthusiastic personality and great sense of humour which brings the boot camp family together and makes the sessions more enjoyable.

C. M.

I've been working with my trainer for the past month now at Mike Heatlie gym and can honestly say I have never felt so good. I wanted to try a personal trainer after years of gym sessions and classes and not feeling I was getting anywhere so I contacted Mike and a few days later I was introduced to my trainer Allan Clarke. I have just had my 10th session and already seeing a big difference in my overall body shape and fitness which feels amazing. My sessions are varied with cardio and weights so each session is different – and you always feel like you’ve worked hard at the end of it. I can genuinely say I have enjoyed each workout and look forward to the next which I think is hugely down to the relaxed welcoming environment the gym offers, and of course the great workouts Allan puts me through!! I will definitely be booking up for more sessions and recommending this gym to all my friends and family.

‘I first heard about Mike Heatlie Personal Training from an ad in I-On Edinburgh magazine. I’d been a member of various gyms over the years but had latterly got out of the routine of training. Consequently, my waist size had risen from 34 to 39. Now in my fifties, I knew I had to take some action to get back in shape. I had also started suffering from Sciatica which could be hugely debilitating. I had recently tried using a Personal Trainer in another gym, however I found him to be disinterested and unreliable, so I decided to give Mike Heatlie’s place a try. Mike’s gym is just outside the City Centre in a safe, well-lit environment with plenty of parking right outside. I was immediately impressed by Mike’s professional, friendly approach and signed up right away and I’ve now been visiting my Personal Trainer, Greg, for almost a year. Knowing that throwing yourself right into three sessions a week can be counter-productive, I started off with one session a week and now I go twice a week, rising to three times next month. I’ve lost a bit off the waist, but most of all I feel much more energetic and just more confident in my appearance and well-being. My Sciatica has completely disappeared as Greg has helped me ‘train it out’. The environment is not in the least bit intimidating and you won’t be surrounded by testosterone-fuelled, sweating hulks, standing behind you aggressively when you’re on the bench press!’ Nigel Williams, Edinburgh

F. P.

My wife and I have been attending Mike Heatlie's Personal Training Studio for a while now and really enjoy the sessions. They are challenging but fun and there's plenty of flexibility for bookings and it's a great atmosphere there, very friendly, no-one judging you. It really suits us as there's free parking there and just a nice place for training, very different from the big gyms that we are not keen on. Would highly recommend Mike and his team.

J. T.

Having pottered about in various gyms for many years with limited impact, the expertise, excellent customer care and professionalism I have experienced with Mike and his team is exceptional and effective. My goal was an all round improvement in fitness, health and to weight loss. With the excellent Finlay as my personal trainer I have achieved all of the above and feel much the better for it. If you commit to your own goals they will help you achieve them, and more.

P. C.

This is an update to my previous review from over a year ago. I have now been training at Mike Heatlie's gym for over two years, and have continued to progress. The training offered by the guys there is second to none. There is a great friendly atmosphere and it is suitable for everyone. Nobody feels awkward or intimidated like in so many of the big city gyms. Because of the layout in the gym you get far more done in hour, as everything is so well laid out. Each of the trainers I have had has been excellent and my current trainer Ross gets me working at a level which I never thought I would be capable of. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. The best value and most effective personal training you could hope for. ORIGINAL If you want to find out what you are capable of, this is the best gym to go to for safe, challenging and professional training in a friendly atmosphere. Get away from the crowded cardio gyms and enjoy the benefits of proper weight training. Proper technique is paramount and has simply enabled me to maximise the pleasure and sense of achievement. Everyone is made to feel very welcome. Mike and his crew of personal trainers provide carefully constructed training regimes that are guaranteed to produce reults, and ensure you get the best out of yourself. Regardless of ability and body shape, everyone is there to work hard and to have fun at the same time. I was a runner for over 20 years and needed something to give me that same fix. I had done weights in conventional gyms on and off over the years but with no real structure or target. Having a personal trainer makes a huge difference. I'm now on my 3rd block of sessions and I'm addicted and going 3 times a week, with a bit of cardio and lighter exercise in between. At 55 I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to Neil, who I can't thank enough - you've been brilliant. Mike Heatlie Personal Training provide what are simply the best personal gym facilities and service in Edinburgh Absolutely fantastic!!Thanks guys!!

Working with the trainers at Mike Heatlie Personal Training Ltd has turned my life around. I went to him back in late August/early September 2011 and we talked through lots of different things relating to health and well-being. He appointed me to a trainer (Neil Elbourne) and we got started right away. At first, the regime seemed just so hard - but within just over a week, I was starting to feel huge benefits of regular exercise and training. As each session passed, Neil increased the weights we were using and increased the time we spent using cardiovascular machinery - and the results were to me unbelievable. Neil and all of the trainers including Mike who runs the studio are incredibly supportive and really help boost your confidence during each and every training session. The sessions are very hard and they continue to get tougher each time but I would not wish this to be any different - this inspires you to do even more and beat your own personal bests. I have managed to lose almost six stone in weight since starting with Mike Heatlie Personal Training Ltd and the transformation in my whole life has been simply incredible. I have so much more confidence in myself, my appearance and have fallen in love with a wonderful young lady - which would never have happened had I not approached Mike and his team for help! I would highly recommend Mike Heatlie Personal Training Ltd to anyone who is looking to change their lifestyle, lose weight, get fitter or just keep themselves in shape.

H. S.

I trained with Mike’s team for about a year. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about getting into shape! I was so much more motivated knowing that I had arranged to meet my trainer at certain times and found that I was much less likely to cancel than if it was just an ordinary gym session or class. As a busy working mum, I arranged to have my sessions during lunch hours so that I didn’t miss out on family time. My trainer varied my workouts so that it never got boring and we got maximum results. We went running outside during spring, and this was particularly beneficial for body & mind! My trainer was a total star, really supportive and offered to come and support me while I took part in McMillan’s Race for Life. He made getting fit really fun while also being professional and extremely knowledgeable. You do pay more for a personal service like this, but I found it to be excellent value for money, and this is evident in the results achieved! My advice to anyone thinking about working with Mike would be to Go for it!!

L. C.

I have always had a slim build but I was looking to build strength and muscle tone. I regularly worked out at the gym but was looking for a more targeted approach to my training and guidance from someone who could show me new exercises and ensure that I was doing them correctly. Mike has done just that. In the last 9 months my muscle tone has greatly improved and I feel fitter than ever. I have limitless energy now and I really look forward to our sessions. I cannot recommend Mike Heatlie enough. Thanks for all of your hard work and patience Mike!

P. H.

Before starting my Personal Training sessions with Mike I had no confidence in using gym equipment but as the weeks went on Mike was great at reassuring me and making me work to my hardest to achieve the confidence I needed. Very warming and comforting environment. I have just been up to the gym for the first time and was able to use the machines confidently. Thank you so much Mike.

K. S.

Highly recommend for anyone looking to lose weight and get fit. I booked personal training sessions with Mike last year and lost 20lbs over the course of the sessions, Getting started at a gym can be intimidating but Mike’s gym has a friendly atmosphere and he helped build my confidence from the first session, I looked forward to every session as I reached my targets that we set in my initial consultation.

S. S.

I joined Mikes Gym in March 2014, Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get fit trim down and feel a whole lot better within themselves, A massive step was actually going to the Gym to meet Mike, but was put at ease right away with his enthusiasm for training and his commitment to customer needs. I was given Jordan Kynoch as my PT who is full of enthusiasm and positivity he puts you through your paces but its done with some humour and alot of motivation to see you through your hours session, he is also very switched on to customer needs so he will tailor your session to suit Another point worth noting is you never know what you will be doing on any session so the training is full of variety. This has paid dividends for me as I have lost 11k since joining this Gym Everyone is friendly and there are no egos, I would highly recommend anyone looking to start out regardless of age or fitness level to this Gym

V. F.

I have been training here since the beginning of the year after making a decision to invest in myself. After years of yoyo dieting and training on and off I decided to make a change and commit to a new healthier lifestyle. I love my twice weekly visits to the gym to train with the amazing Stuart. He trains me hard which I love and although I still have a way to go I know that in another six months or so I will be looking the way I want. The value for money you get from a Mike Heatlie training is phenomenal. They all genuinely care about their clients and cater for everyone's individual needs. I will be a feature here forever more. They're not getting rid of me no matter how hard they try 😉

M. A.

A great combination of an excellent personal trainer and a well equipped gym! Mike allocated us to Allan who is ideal - a skilled and highly knowledgeable trainer, with a great sense of humour. In the 3 months we have been going we have both lost weight, as Mike promised, and are feeling fitter and healthier. Highly recommended.

A. M.

Mike Heatlie's Personal Training Studio is exactly the kick in the backside I needed. I had previously been heavily involved in sport competitively, but injuries forced me out. After several failed and embarrassing attempts to get back, I found the Personal Training Studio as I needed some one on one help to regain fitness, strength and confidience. Craig, was assigned as my Personal Trainer and I've loved every session. Seeing progress and feeling fitter and healthier, has given me the confidence boost I've greatly needed and made me fall in love with training again. I look forward to my sessions, and Craig is fantastic. He's always motivating me, pushing me hard, not giving me any room to give up and makes my sessions interesting and challenging. Craig and the Studio continues offers great support, advice and motivation and now I can't imagine not training with them. The studio is fantastic, with great equipment and super flexible with your schedule! Definitely recommended.

M. J.

I have used a personal trainer before but he unfortunately emigrated and I let my fitness and weight slide big time. Deciding to do something about it is as much mental as physical and my best friend sent me the link to Mike's studio on the back of a Groupon offer for a massage. It came at the right time for me to start taking control of my health and fitness again. Meeting Mike for the first time was a scary step to take but he impressed me with his knowledge and understanding, enough to make me sign up. The first session with Mike was daunting and to be fair I ached all over pretty much for the first 4/5 weeks as my body took time to get used to exercise again. Mike matched me with Eran who has been fantastic. He is the right combination of supportive and sadistic, which is a requirement for a good trainer I believe...... Eran has been able to get me to do more that I thought my body would be able to do and had the confidence in me on my ability even when I have not. I originally joined on the lose 10lbs is 5 weeks offer, which I did. I purchased a second session block, reducing to 2 sessions a week now as I have been given the confidence to go back to the gym and do classes - the gym itself I find boring if I'm there on my own. I'm now regularly doing classes at the gym with ongoing support from Eran to keep me motivated. This has really worked well for me and I am continuing to lose weight and get fitter, which was the point of starting this. I still ache after a session, but the aches no longer last all week and my recovery is much better. Can't thank Mike and Eran enough for setting me off on this new route and I'm sure we will continue to work together for a while.

A. H.

Best thing I've done this year was to join Mike's gym. I needed to lose weight and get fit again after years of yo-yo dieting and failed attempts of going to the "GYM". My trainer (Katie) has been brilliant, she is always positive, motivational and knowledgeable about my training session and so helpful about how to change my eating habits (it's not a diet). I have lost nearly 2st, which is amazing for me.

J. P. M.

I recently joined the Mike Heatlie Gym and absolutely love it. I can already feel an improvement in my fitness level and definitely feel more toned. I was nervous about starting as my fitness level was so low but my first couple of sessions i was eased in gently and it gave me the confidence to go on. Friendly staff and great place to work out - i would highly recommend anyone to give it a go.

X. L.

It was really great. My major goal is to lose weight. Although it was tough at the very start, I still enjoy the time during the training. By far I have lost 6 kg during the first section 12 courses and I now feel that my muscle strength and stamina is getting better and better. Many thanks for my personal trainer Rutger for your professional training and make me challenge myself every time in the gym, and Mike's gym providing a friendly as well as non-threatening environment for me to have a motivation of doing exercise and sports during leisure time.

M. B.

I passed Mike Heatlie’s Personal Training studio every day on my way to work and kept saying to myself “Oh I must pop in there one day” so eventually that day came and a few months later I’m so glad I did! This is a proper gym with excellent equipment and great personal trainers. I have been a member of a few gyms over the years but they are so big and unfriendly and you can never get access to the equipment. At Mike’s gym there is a great friendly atmosphere and the motivation you get here is fantastic. Every training session is different from the next. Stuart is a great personal trainer and certainly makes you work very hard at reaching your goals, has taught me an extensive range of exercises, has increased my level of fitness and strength and feel and look more toned, sleep better and eat healthier. Can’t say much more than that!.. I actually look forward to my 2 sessions per week, thank you Stuart….

L.

I love training with Mike at his gym. He puts me through my paces with a mixture of High Intensity Resistance Training and a little cardio. I find him very approachable and motivational and can really recommend personal 1-2-1 training sessions with him, really good value for money and you’ll see great results.

A. H.

I have been training with Stuart for past few months now at Mike Heatlie's Personal Training and I enjoy every bit of workout with Stuart who always gives more than 100% on every session. He also provides me with healthy meal ideas and understands my body to push me more every time beyond my body thinks it can perform and I love that. Stuart is also very accommodating to my shift patterns that change every week. I would definitely recommend Mike Heatlie personal training as the team there is absolute fantastic.

S. I.

I joined Mikes studio to shift the pregnancy weight. With Katie as my PT, i lost all the weight and more! Mikes studio atmosphere is friendly, professional and fun. Mike himself is lovely guy and his team is made up of awesome trainers. Katie was a pleasure to work with in achieving my goal. Motivates you and pushes just enough to give her client what they came for. Brilliant experience!

I signed up for 15 sessions over 5 weeks which represents very good value for money. My trainer is Stuart, who is very personable and keeps the sessions fun whilst making sure I work hard. I have been very happy with the gym and the service. It's a friendly place to work out and I felt at ease from the word go. Having a session booked really helps the motivation especially through the winter. If you need to put a bit of extra "oomph" into your routine, I would definitely recommend booking a block of sessions. Caroline.

After years of on/off gym memberships I was eventually persuaded to book a block of personal training sessions in Mike's gym. To say I was both amazed & delighted with the results is an understatement. In my case I have Ross to thank, however I'm just coming towards the end of the block and with 13lbs lost with 1 session to go, I'm on course to having lost 1st within a 6 week period. Needless to say I'll be signing up for another block and I think it's great that the time and cost can be shared between yourself and a friend. I couldn't recommend the gym enough & to all the guys at the gym, keep up the good work!

After I stopped rowing competitively I grew bored with training with no end goal in sight and I quickly found that I have no motivation in the gym when working out on my own. As a result, I was really struggling to lose some weight and tone up ahead of my wedding. Thankfully I joined Mike Heatlie earlier this year as Jon and Matt have really helped me rediscover that competitive spirit, the desire to train and also have helped me to improve my lifestyle again. Not only are they excellent trainers, keeping up motivation levels and pushing me to my limit, but their knowledge of nutrition is also very useful. The sessions might be tough, but I always feel great when I finish! I would recommend any of the trainers at Mike Heatlie; all are approachable, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Employing a PT might not be a cheap option, but it is certainly one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a long time. Thanks guys!

April 13 was when I joined Mikes Studio and PT Gregg drew the short straw......... his mission was/is to get my butt in gear and shed the excess weight that I have gained over the years......just completed my 1st 12sessions in 6weeks(looking forward to next 12), results are great, lost over 15 pounds and can fit in to clothes that I haven't been able to wear for ages....but best of all I feel much better within myself and leading a much healthier lifestyle...I still have a long way to go to reach "my" ideal weight but very confident Gregg can get me there. The Studio is very well equipped and although I find every session challenging Gregg varies every 1 and we have a good bit of banter along the way especially when he leads me to the cross trainer grrrr...He is very good at knowing when to push me on to do that extra squat or getting me to rest when needed .He also gives advice on healthy eating and tells me to get in touch if I need advice.. Being a private Studio means the only other users also have their PT as well and its never very busy. The dietary advice Mike gave me when I 1st joined has helped immensely, the varied meal plans and food diary's he sent me means I always have a wide variety of healthy eating options. I would highly recommend anyone looking to get fit or loose weight to join Mikes Studio

Training at Mike’s studio with my trainer, Blair, has completely changed my life. Instead of being too scared to join in with activities because I was embarrassed about how unfit I was, I’m now exercising and being active just because it’s fun! Before I started at the studio, I had been gradually getting heavier and more unfit over a period of about 3 years (even though I was paying for an unused gym membership). I took the plunge and emailed Mike, he got back to me straight away and there was no turning back. I was nervous about my first few sessions and was worried about being the most unfit person in the gym, but I needn’t have worried - everyone there is totally focussed on their own training and couldn’t care less about what you are doing or how much you are sweating! The training is intense, but the results are noticeable and swift. Blair changes the exercises regularly so I never get bored and he really pushes me in each session. I would definitely recommend training at the studio to anyone who wants to make a change to their health and fitness, you won’t regret it.

My friends and I decided it would be a good idea to take part in this years Tough Mudder, and even though I was fit I knew I needed help with weight training and to step up the cardio. I used to go to a smaller gym and PT, however he left to travel so I had joined a larger city centre gym. After two sessions in there I knew it was not the place for me. A friend at work knew about my want to increase training, and dislike for the large gym, so suggested I give Mike Heatlie Personal Training a go. One of the best recommemdatiosn ever. After contacting Mike, we went over my aims for the sessions and I was matched with Jonny for strength and conditioning training. The sessions were tough but really good fun. I was pushed each time I was in there, whether it was cardio or weights. After 10 weeks of training my endurance, cardio and muscle mass has increased, my levels of fat have decreased and I am full of energy. Jonny was a great trainer who have given me some amazing advice on training and diet. I was really motivated the whoel time and I was, and now I am seriously considering another 5 week block. If you have a specfic aim, and want to enjoy your time trainig, I cannot recommend Mike Heatlie Personal Training enough.

I. Z.

I started my first session block a couple of months ago with Stuart Malcolm. I was looking forward to get stronger and increase my fitness levels. All equipment in the studio is in the highest standards. Stuart is a very good PT. Training sessions are very intense, so there is no waste of time. It is really worth the money. I can see a big difference already, so I am looking forward to purchase the next session block!

Mike's gym is really motivating and has great facilities to always have a diverse workout. My trainer Billy is amazing - extremely friendly, enthusiastic and passionate about fitness and makes me feel very comfortable. I have given 100% effort in my training alongside healthy eating at home and in return I have lost 15lb in under 6 weeks and still continue my journey into losing weight and feeling healthy. I have found my mind set has changed with my trainer guiding me through my diet – in the past I have always been completely strict and then after a month I go back to eating lots of junk and gain weight, my trainer has guided me into changing my mind set that I can have a treat however after a treat to get back into my diet and training and not feel guilty about it – this is one of the most challenging things I have found about dieting in the past and this time has been very beneficial. My trainer always changes the workout and never once I have been bored or could predict my workout because he always comes up with new circuits which I think is key in staying motivated. Personal training is expensive to maintain however I feel Mikes gym offers such good price that is more affordable than any other personal training programme that I have seen within the Edinburgh area.

I was currently using an independent PT however he went away for a month so I was looking for a replacement to cover in that short period. I was recommended Ross at Mike Heatlie by a friend who had been before so I thought I would give it a try. I love the set up of the gym, the fact that the only people there are also being trained so there's never more than about 5 people there at one time. This is great for people like me who used to hate going to the gym and feeling self conscious! The gym is also fully equipped and, because of the limited amount of people, you never have to wait for a machine. There's also private parking right outside which is a massive bonus. Ross was very friendly (as are all the staff), knew just how far to push me and recognised when I was at my limit. I have actually noticed much better results since starting here than I did with my previous trainer. With that in mind, I plan to continue here permanently. So I need to say something critical to balance it up, right? Only thing I can think of is the location - I live on the other side of town so its a 25 minute drive. OK, hardly the gym's fault but its worth it for the results!

First class personal training. Mike and his team are approachable, dedicated and highly skilled, and the gym and facilities are excellent. Myself and a pal have been training with Mike for 6 weeks and it has been an awesome experience. Would recommend it to anyone looking to get fitter and lose weight.

h. l.

I came to the studio not really knowing what to expect, I'd had gym memberships in the past but it had always ended up the same - a few weeks of hard training followed by 6 months of direct debit payments. The difference here is you work one on one with a trainer, who really pushes you, it's not so easy to take a day off when you are feeling tired or lazy because it's not just yourself you are letting down. The trainers are really supportive and committed to helping you achieve your goals. Exercise is only half the battle and diet really comes into the equation if you are aiming for weight loss, with the help of Mike’s advice I've actually managed to stick to a healthy eating plan that leaves me feeling satisfied and energised. If you are thinking about doing "something" to improve your fitness and health I really don't think you could do any better than sign up for the 5 week program at Mike Heatlie - the hardest part is walking through the door, after that, you'll start to see changes very quickly. So after 5 weeks how does it feel? Amazing - I've lost 20 lbs - far more than ever imagined possible, my fitness levels have dramatically improved and I actually look forward to my sessions at the studio. It's hard work but the support and guidance that the team at Mike Heatlie Studio provide makes this the most effective and enjoyable program of exercise I've ever undertaken.

Been going for two years now; training twice a week, regularly. Have dropped weight and inches and seen real improvements in strength and fitness. The equipment is top notch, the training (from Neil in my case) is both enjoyable and purposeful - he pushes me, keeps me right and keeps me moving forward. Using a trainer forces me into regular exercise (its scheduled in my diary and part of my routine) but it never feels forced and I enjoy both the gym and the training. Its the best way I have found to maintain my fitness.

C. M.

My wife recommended that I go to Mike's gym as I was getting a bit bored with my usual repetitive sessions. I thought I knew what I was doing at the gym, but this has completely changed the way I approach my workouts. It showed me that I had no idea what I was doing. Each session is challenging and tough, but the rewards are well worth it. I was assigned to Neil who has been excellent. I have never been stronger or fitter and couldn't recommend this place enough.

Edinburgh's drinking and fried food culture took a toll on my health last year. I was unhealthy, lacked stamina and could not be bothered to go to the gym or join those group classes that lacked any personal attention. So, I searched for a personal training institute to help bring an overall lifestyle change. I wasn't looking to achieve short term goals, but I wanted a permanent long term solution to my overweight problem. Mike Heatlie’s institute was the most promising among all my searches. Mike understood my situation and gave me appropriate advice on healthy eating; meal planning and balanced diet. I started training with Perisa Aitken-Edwards. Her workout sessions inspired me to quit smoking for life time. I started losing weight and increasing my stamina. She made me do a variety of circuits, cardio exercises, weights etc. We concentrated on building my overall body strength. The weight loss followed automatically as I listened to her speak about mind, health and beauty. She became my guide and my friend. She pushed me to do more with myself. That is what I liked the most about her. She taught me to carry on and have faith in my body. She was supportive and always asked my opinion on the training sessions we had. So I felt like I was equally involved in shaping up my body with her expertise. We started seeing tremendous results in just few classes. I lost more than 8 KGs (1 stone, 4.8 pounds) while training with Perisa Aitken. My waist, hips and chest numbers were dropping drastically. Moreover, by constantly attending Mike Heatlie's training, I was able to bring an overall life style change. I lost a dress size, I started looking gorgeous in tight outfits and I was able to successfully achieve my goals thanks to Persia’s training and Mike's support. I still continue to go for training there. And I love it even more. I have muscles now and I can see my waist lines get sharper. My personal experience, I strongly recommend Mike Heatlie Personal Training to all those looking to remain healthy and gorgeous for a longer term.

I'd only ever used a PT before my wedding and it was gruelling outdoor fitness with little structure. At the studio I was assigned Katie as my trainer and we immediately hit it off. I've never said this about hour long training sessions before...but they were fun - as well as being super hard work! I lost a noticeable 3 inches off my waist in the first month with diet and nutritional advice and structured sessions 2-3 times a week... just in time to be a bridesmaid in New York!! Katie is an absolute star and I have no hesitation in recommending the studio to anyone looking for top class 121 training with proven results.

I started training at Mike Heatlie Personal Training a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it. I look forward to every session with my trainer Aleksandra. She is brilliant really friendly and helpful, every session is different and challenging, she keeps me motivated and always pushes me to try that bit harder! Get in contact with Mike, you won’t regret it!!!

D. A.

I’ve been training at the studio for around 18 months. It started as a few weeks to get me back on track but I soon discovered the benefits of training at the studio. The studio itself is great with a variety of high quality equipment….even a few machines I’d never seen before! Everyone is really friendly but also completely focused on their training so you don’t feel ‘watched’ like in other gyms. An important thing for me is the sessions are different each time so you never get bored of the same routine exercises. The intensity is also pitched just right so you’re pushed, but not over the edge….it’s completely tailored for you! I’ve gone from being an injury prone amateur footballer struggling to make the team to last seasons Player of the Year! You want results, you want to train here.

I have been with Mike’s gym since shortly after I had my second baby in December 2013. Until a few months ago I was trained by Ross. Ross was a great trainer and had managed to help me to get my weight down to even less than before I had my first baby. This was a challenge as I had my babies only 10 months apart. I was anxious when Ross said that he was emigrating to Australia in May this year. He suggested that I should continue with another of Mike’s team of personal trainers, Stuart Malcolm, and I am so glad I did. Stuart is very different to Ross but is just as good in his own way. After my first few sessions I came back absolutely exhausted. Stuart pushed me in different ways, having recognised that I was ready to move to another level. In fact I can now see that I really needed to be pushed again. Stuart has been helping me to tone and strengthen specific areas. He has also made me better appreciate the role of food in overall health and fitness. I would thoroughly recommend Mike’s gym and Stuart in particular. Gemma Scott

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and by working with Mike had it down to normal within the first month of training with him. I have also lost a stone and am continuing to become fitter and healthier watching my diet and training. I've joined gyms in the past and have ended up using their swimming pool but feeling a bit self conscious using their gym. Mike has been cheerful, positive and encouraging since the first time I met him and has changed my attitude to working out in a gym! A big thanks Mike 😊

Where to start...probably best at weight and health I suppose. In late August 2015 when I started at Mike Heatlie's gym, I was 19.8 stone with health issues aplenty, I'll save you all the gritty details on those though. At the beginning of 2016 I am 14.5 stone with vastly improved health - 4+ stone lost by Xmas 2015. A simple summary to a difficult task, I know. However, you will be happy to know that that is what I experienced when training with Persia at Mike Heatlie's gym, an insurmountable task becoming pretty straightforward. My experience, as a whole, was that all the Trainers were very friendly and accommodating – there were all types of people being trained but I felt very comfortable and became oblivious to their presence. Persia, who had the pleasure of putting up with my incessant grumbles was always positive, very supportive and encouraging. Sessions were never boring and Persia always increased the intensity when I became stronger and faster. From my perspective I've had my love for exercise reignited - I now go to the gym, go to boxing twice a week and plan to join a football team. Things that I could not have dreamt to do months ago. Best cash I've spent in a very very long time. Truly life changing. You will need to put the effort in to get the best results as the Trainers are not magicians. However, like everyone else who has had the pleasure to be trained by Persia, or any of the other Trainers, I can say with confidence that they are Magic!

D. S.

I've been coming to the studio on and off since it opened after noticing it when I lived nearby. Having had several gym memberships in the past, I'd never seen any results but instantly got results coming here. The studio itself is completely non-intimidating and the trainers are great and push you really hard. I've also learned a lot about the right things to eat and would come here permanently if I could afford it (although the prices are really competitive for training in comparison to other gyms).

A light bulb when off in my head after seeing a photo of myself from a recent holiday; it was quite clear that I was not as fit and healthy as I thought I was. And despite being a regular gym user, it was at this point that I realised I had actually lost all enthusiasm and motivation for exercise and it showed. Something had to change!! So after some serious thought about what I wanted to change/achieve, I decided to investigate the world of personal training. Hours of trawling the net and reading reviews led me to Mike’s website. I decided I had nothing to lose by getting in contact so I emailed Mike. He was very quick to respond and invited me down to the studio the following day for an informal chat and a show round. I was immediately put at ease from the moment I walked through the door and was made to feel extremely welcome. Shortly after, I had this sudden urge to get started so I signed up there and then and was in the studio the following morning for my first session (argh!!). I was paired up with Stuart who is fantastic; he has pushed me hard and is awesome at keeping me motivated especially when I need to push through the “I can’t do this” barrier or I'm struggling to finish those last few reps. I initially only signed up for 12 sessions (6 weeks) but I’m now into my 20th week; training twice a week and loving every minute of it. With Stuart's guidance, I've trimmed down and gradually building lean muscle all over and I’ve really surprised myself at how far I’ve come. I have noticed a real change in my attitude to both food and exercise. I’m no longer intimidated by the various weights on offer or that “odd looking” machine I used to walk past at the gym. And who knew I would learn to love doing squats and lunges!!! All jokes aside, I can’t recommend Mike and his team highly enough. I genuinely feel that all the PT’s care for their clients and want to support each and every one of us in achieving our own individual goals whether that is weight loss, building lean muscle or generally trying to increase your overall fitness level. Honestly get in contact, you won’t regret it!!!

Y. C.

I cannot recommend Mike highly enough. From my first chat Mike made me feel at ease (as I was so unfit) he listened to my aims and goals. Mike devised a continually changing and challenging programme. Our sessions were always hard work but always with an element of fun and enjoyment. No Humiliation No Shouting...…..Just pure encouragement and belief to get to your goal. Thank you Mike

I decided to get a personal trainer to help 'force' the motivation I was missing in the gym to get back in shape and what I didn't bargain for was that I was actually signing up for a whole lot more - I was getting a trainer, healthy eating adviser and most importantly a coach. And I couldn't be more grateful for this and the support I have been given. I never imagined that I was capable of the improvements I've seen so far and I now surprise myself in my own self belief that I can go even further. I can't thank or recommend Mike's Studio (particularly Stuart) any more. I had struggled with a knee injury for over a year and I was nervous about going to a trainer; expecting to be forced into standard drills (like I've seen in other gyms) that would include high impact jumping about that I can't manage at this point. Straight off this was no issue to Mike and he aligned me to Stuart who has been completely flexible, working with me to find exercises that work for me. And the exercises are mixed up to push me but also tailored to what I enjoy (that's right - I enjoy training and I never thought I would ever say that about going to a gym!) I've been working with Stuart and I can't fault his skill, enthusiasm and positivity. It has been hard work and there have been moments where I've really needed the support and he's never failed to deliver. He is a fantastic coach and as a trainer recognises capability that I didn't even know I had and is able to push me to do more than I could ever achieve on my own. He has given me great information on eating well and has put up with my endless questions as I navigate my way around breaking down the 30 years of bad habits that I've built up through diet fads and 'loose 5 lbs in 2 weeks' type magazine gimics and I now have a eating regime that I enjoy, is plentiful and is definitely not a diet! I signed up for the 5 week block to loose 10lbs - I'm not that over weight so I didn't really think this would be possible as I only ever managed ~1lb a week off when I've tried myself. But I did loose it and more (I think it was almost a stone in total) and I'm signed up for another block as for the first time in my life I actually believe I can really get back in shape. I think the key thing for me has not just been about loosing the weight but everything that comes with it - the leaner body, increased fitness levels, the increase in positive mental attitude, coping with stress better, increased self esteem, more confidence, loads more energy and just generally feeling good about life! My advice - contact Mike, you won't regret it! You'll never get the a** you want sitting on the one you've got!

I done 5 weeks fat burn then 7 weeks muscle tone at Mikes gym with Alex Szantai as my personal trainer. Both great guys. In my first 5 weeks fat burn i dropped from 18 st 10 Ibs down to 17 st. It was hard work but worth it. I honestly cant fault the gym or any off my training. If i can achieve that weight loss then so can you! I also got good advice for training properly and healthy eating.

H. T.

This is not like any other gym where you pay a large monthly membership where you either have to get on with it by yourself (hence why I never last long at exercising!) or have someone show you the machines but doesn't really show any interest (pass experiences)...NO, at this gym you have a personal trainer (mine is Greg Ellis, who looks like an accountant, lovely guy and is an excellent personal trainer who keeps me on track, and makes sure I make progress and helps me work toward my goals). No huge membership costs, you literally get what you pay for! I have lost a stone in a few weeks by going twice a week and watching what I eat, no silly starvation or sill diets and I FEEL GREAT! Thanks guys!

My main aims on starting personal training were to lose weight and build muscle strength to help improve my distance running. It’s early days but things are going well. I’ve already lost half a stone, can see improved definition in my arms and can feel the extra strength in my legs when I’m running. My trainer, Stuart, keeps me moving quickly between the varied exercises and pushing me to work hard, which mean I make the most of every minute of my training. I’d highly recommend training here.

N. C.

I initially joined as i knew i needed a bit of push in the right direction to improve my energy levels and also someone to to look at my nutrition as i've always ate healthy but i do have a large appetite. Luckily that's exactly what my trainer Stuart was able to easily do. He reviewed what i was eating at the end of last year and gave me regular feedback on what i was eating each week. I managed to slowly combine the tips he gave with regular trips to mikes gym - the result for me was that after a few months (including over xmas) i'd steadily lost around 10 1lbs just in time for trip abroad i was making. I was away abroad a few months but made sure to keep up the weight training, crunches and lunges that Stuart had taught me. I've really enjoyed coming back for sessions here (sporadically) over the past 10 months and feel it's an important aspect of having a varied routine of activity to stay healthy.

K. D.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my first sessions here. Everything is simple and easy (not the workouts) but arranging times that suit, changing and you can park right outside, if you’re not walking. Everyone has been really friendly and helpful and it definitely doesn’t feel intimidating. It’s always quiet, there’s plenty of space and people are just getting on with what they’re doing. I’ve been working with Stuart and have felt I can ask anything about diet or exercise without feeling stupid and keeping a food diary totally helps you to see where you’re going wrong. The best bit for me though is that it’s fun. The workouts are varied and you don’t need to worry about how to use equipment or structure a routine which means you can just get on and enjoy it. I know I’d never push myself that hard if I was working out on my own and I’m so happy with the results. I can’t really explain it but I just feel so much better, and happier. I’m not as tired all the time and I can wear my favourite clothes again. The only downside- I think it might be addictive. :)

C. O.

I've been training with Mike and his team for a year now and the support, motivation and advice is second to none. For years I have tried different nutrition plans and workouts and lost weight but never been able to tone up or feel fit - until I spoke to Mike! The gym is a quiet, friendly atmosphere to work out in, with all the equipment you need. I highly recommend the personal training and boot camps - always good fun!
