Richard Simpson — BSc-qualified personal trainer in Aberdeen

Richard Simpson is a BSc-qualified Level 3 personal trainer in Aberdeen, specialising in muscle development, weight loss, and nutritional guidance. Based at PureGym Aberdeen on Wellington Circle, Richy helps people across Aberdeen, Altens, Tullos, and Cove Bay build real strength and lasting body confidence.

"Don't be scared to come say hi. I'm very approachable and willing to answer any question you've got — wherever you are on your journey."

Hey — I'm Richy. Five years studying at college and university, my Level 3 PT diploma, and a BSc in Sport & Exercise Science all sit behind every session I deliver. This year I'm pushing further with my honours in Sport Science. The point of all that studying isn't to impress you — it's so the programme I write for you is built on what actually works, not what's trending on TikTok this month.

My own training has shifted over the years. I used to live for running — Edinburgh Marathon was a big chapter. These days my passion's muscle development and conditioning, and that's where I love coaching: helping people get visibly stronger, leaner, and more confident in their own skin.

Every programme is built fresh. Variation is the rule — high-intensity, weights, bodyweight — combined with straight-talking nutrition guidance. No copy-paste plans. No nonsense. Just a clear path from where you are now to where you want to be.

FAQ

Common Questions

The questions I get most.

If you're wondering it, someone else has already asked it. Here are the honest answers.

Do I need any gym experience to train with you?

No, you don't need any prior gym experience. I build every programme around your current fitness level and walk you through every movement so you feel confident from session one. A lot of my clients started exactly where you are — never having properly stepped into a gym before.

Where are you based?

I'm based at PureGym Aberdeen on Wellington Circle in Aberdeen (AB12 3QW), serving clients across Aberdeen, Altens, Tullos, and Cove Bay. Easy access from the A90 and free on-site parking.

How much does personal training cost?

Pricing is tailored to your goals and how often you'd like to train. Some people want one focused session a week to keep them on track, others want three. Message me on WhatsApp or fill in the contact form for a personalised quote — there's no obligation and you'll get a clear answer within 24 hours.

What kind of training will we actually do?

Your programme is built around what you want to achieve. Sessions blend high-intensity work, weights training, and bodyweight exercises so things stay interesting, you keep progressing, and you build strength that carries into everyday life — not just inside the gym.

Do you offer nutritional guidance too?

Yes — nutrition is one of my core specialisms. Training only gets you so far without the right fuel, so you'll get straightforward food advice that fits your actual lifestyle. Not a restrictive diet plan, not a calorie spreadsheet you'll abandon in a fortnight — just real, sustainable guidance.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients feel stronger and more energised within the first two to three weeks. Visible body changes typically follow over the next 8 to 12 weeks of consistent training and good nutrition. I track every session so you can see your progress in real numbers — not just guesswork in the mirror.

What's the very first step?

Message me on WhatsApp or send your details through the contact form. You'll get a free, no-pressure consultation where you can ask anything you want and we'll see if it's the right fit. No commitment to start until you're ready.
