Craig Young

Hi, I’m Craig, one of the instructors here at Fitness Now.

Quite simply, my mission is to help the residents of Edinburgh become fitter, stronger, healthier, and happier.

Experience

I began my journey in the fitness industry over 6 years ago working as a Gym Instructor at Edinburgh Leisure. Through my hard work & determination I quickly rose to the position of Gym Supervisor, leading a team of 6 instructors.

During this time I have also had the pleasure of working as a Personal Trainer & GP Referral Instructor. Alongside additional work coaching fitness classes ranging from Bootcamps, Circuits, Aquafit, and Strength & Balance classes for vulnerable groups.

It’s fair to say my coaching style and approach has proven to be adaptable & extensive - much like my terrible patter!
