About ATS
Real coaching. Real people. No egos.
We started ATS because the fitness world got noisy, complicated, and a bit lonely.
Our promise is simple: cut the nonsense, coach what matters, and build a community where you actually want to train.
​
We take care of the plan — you just show up.
Every session adapts to how you feel that day, your goals, and your real life outside the gym. Because training should fit you, not the other way around.
​
At ATS, you’ll find coaching that’s personal without being pushy, serious about progress without the ego, and grounded in real-world performance, stronger on the hills, faster on the field, more confident day to day.
Our Trainers
John Soulsby
Coach and Founder
John’s been coaching for over 15 years, but you’ll rarely find him standing still.
He’s usually outdoors hiking, running with his dog, or chasing friends down trails on his mountain bike somewhere in Scotland. He’s raced before and has his sights set on lining up again soon.
​
He knows what it’s like to juggle training, business, and life, and that’s what makes him such a grounded coach.
Expect honest feedback, smart structure, and plenty of banter. John’s the guy who’ll push you when you need it and remind you to enjoy the ride. Big rugby fan, social at heart, and always up for a chat after a session.
Will Brown
Coach and Founder
Will’s our resident strength brain and a total student of the sport. He’s spent 15 years coaching everyone from beginners to international competitors, currently serving as Head Coach for Team Scotland Powerlifting and part of the Team GB coaching team. Oh, and he’s also an international-level referee (so yes, he knows his stuff).
​
Despite the accolades, Will keeps things simple: lift well, learn lots, enjoy the process. He’s meticulous about good coaching and genuinely loves seeing people surprise themselves. Outside the gym, you’ll catch him painting Warhammer and dissecting training theory like it’s an art form.
Our Community
No headphones. No egos. Just good people who want to see you win.
​
At ATS, everyone’s in your corner, coaches and members alike. We show up for each other, cheer the PBs, and laugh through the tough sessions. It’s the kind of place where friendships grow fast and the banter flies freely.
​
We’re not just a gym. We go to each other’s weddings, competitions, and BBQs. We check in, show up, and keep each other accountable, with a bit of good-natured joking along the way.
​
When you join, you’re not just training, you’re joining a community that genuinely wants to see you succeed, in and out of the gym.
Our
Facility
Top-tier kit. Down-to-earth vibe.
​
We’ve built a space that’s got everything you need to get stronger, from world-class strength equipment to plenty of room to move, lift, and laugh.
​
No mirrors-for-show, no judgment, just a welcoming space where you can train hard, focus up, and feel part of something.
Whether you’re chasing a PB or just showing up after a long day, this place makes it easy to get the work done.
